Be not intimidated

Be not intimidated.

Be not intimidated. God shall not be mocked. A man shall reap what he has sown!

I have fashioned a sword. I have sharpened the sword. Purpose built for war!

It shall be a bloody battle. Up close and personal. Cutting through bone and marrow. The blood of the enemy gushes forth. But you are covered by my blood.

It shall be violent. Stab him through the heart. Then cut off his head. For his head shall be at your tail, beneath your feet.

Sound the war cry! Blow the trumpet. Sound the horn. For there shall be blood. There shall be victory. A decisive blow.

Then their heads shall fall like dominoes. The lesser will be no more. Only the great and the mighty of the almighty shall remain.

Lift up your sword. Hold it with strength. Your muscles ripple like Samson. Great will be their defeat. A victory bell shall sound like a great cymbal a symbol of my power within you!

Open your mouth, and I shall fill it with a roar. The roar of a lion. An angry lion. One on the rampage.

Is it possible that I may be defeated?

No, I intimidate the enemy. He shakes at my very presence. The walls of their protection shake at my announcement. My pronouncement, my declaration of victory.

Joshua 6:20-21 So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, they raised a great shout, and [Jericho’s] wall fell down in its place, so that the [Israelites] went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. Then they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

It is done. You shall wake in the morning and see the ruins of the enemy, the ruin of the enemy, the desolation The smell, the stench of the dead shall waft into your nostrils. And you shall wonder what happened. How did this occur? Who fought for us? How were so many killed and yet we saw or heard nothing?

For it is I, who fights on your behalf.

Isaiah 37:33-36 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow here or come before it with shield or cast up a siege mound against it. By the way that he came, by the same way he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, says the Lord. For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David. And the Angel of the Lord went forth, and slew 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when [the living] arose early in the morning, behold, all these were dead bodies.

Blessed is the one who perseveres for when he has withstood the test, pass the test, walked through the test. This test has no pass mark. Just lift your hand in victory. Receive the crown of righteousness, of “right” standing.

James 1:12 Blessed (happy,to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor’s] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.

Step on the back of the enemy as you step to the next level.

Isaiah 51:22-23 Thus says your Lord, the Lord, and your God, Who pleads the cause of His people: Behold, I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering and intoxication; the cup of My wrath you shall drink no more. And I will put it into the hands of your tormentors and oppressors, those who said to you, Bow down, that we may ride or tread over you; and you have made your back like the ground and like the street for them to pass over.
