God won’t Leave you Afflicted!
The Word of God says that “many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord will deliver him out them all”! Psalm 34:19. Many afflictions and troubles will come in and interrupt our lives, and you can believe there are some people who are standing by who are gladly cheering at your demise and down fall.
Sometimes it seems as if you are sinking or the enemy has the upper hand in your life and your circumstances. Sometimes it feels as if you have fallen all the way into the fire. But just know that The Lord is always right there to deliver you from the hand of the enemy.
Sometimes it is good for us to be afflicted and to go through some of the sufferings, so that god can get our attention and redirect us to him! So just be of good courage and always know that God knows what is best for us and our God is faithful to those who love and serve Him. He will always deliver the righteous from their afflictions!
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all” Psalms 34:19.
“It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees” Psalms 119:71.
My Testimony: From Warfare to Victory!
To all of those who have been prayig with us, thank you from the bottom of my heart…
For the last two days, the enemy has been causing havoc, chaos and confusion. But through warring in prayer and declarations and with standing in faith and trust in God, the enemy came in as a roaring lion, but we stood our ground in the God Almighty and God has given us the victory!
God spoke to me two days ago when the battle started… “Just Stand Still!” We even called on other prayer warriors to war with us in the spirit. The enemy wanted us to get out of character and lose our integrity with God. But instead, we warred back against the enemy with the Word of God, and God gave us Victory!!!
So I want to encourage you today, don’t give up on God because when you trust in Him, He will always bring you through. He will fight your battles and give you the victory over the enemy.
The enemy will come one way and God will cause him to scatter before you in seven ways. Our God is worthy to be praised! He has never failed to come through for His people and He is not about to start now or ever.
I testify and tell you that God’s anointing, blessings, favor and serving God is more than anything that you can value in this life. All glory and praises to our God!
God has overturned the battle and the devil has landed hard on his face. He lost the battle and will certainly lose future battles as well. Because God is on our side and He is more than the whole world against us!
“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31.
“The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways” Deuteronomy 28:7.
God NEVER Changes!
For those who are going through a season of trials, hardships and extreme warfare, remember that God is always with us and for us!
What’s so good about the God that we serve is that He never changes. He is the same God today as He was in the past. He is that same God who worked miracles, signs, and wonders in the earth and He is that same God whom we serve today, and He still works miracles, signs and wonders! Nothing has changed!
God is creator all of the heavens and the earth. We can depend upon Him because He is just, faithful and true. He will never fail us, so we can have the confidence in him in times of trouble because He never changes and will never leave us nor forsake those who love Him.
“For I am The Lord, I change not” Malachi 3:6.

War Cry: Taking a Stand Against the Enemy!
The enemy is literally unleashing all hell against God’s saints. For those who are going through warfare, don’t give him one inch of ground.
I am standing my ground against the enemy and I have literally blown my physical shofar in his face. The Lord had me to blow it three (3) times in our home. So if he wants to war…. then its on! He is losing, but he is still trying to pull out all stops to hinder, block and to frustrate. But we are surrounded by warriors in the natural and warriors in the spiritual realm who are praying and warring with us also. So there are more for us than those who are against us!
No weapons that he brings will prosper because if God be for us, then who … I mean tell me who, and what, can stand against us!
“And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then The Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha” 2 Kings 6:17.
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm” Ephesians 6:13.
In spiritual Warfare: God says “Stand Still!”
After leaving bible study on last night, we received a call and realized that we were facing an urgent situation, because Satan had reared his ugly head. So after some time had passed, the Holy Spirit began to lead me to walk the floor and to pray out loud to God and to shout verbally and directly to the enemy.
The enemy was letting us know that the he was at work because at that time, the lights in the room started to flicker on and off several times. But we kept walking, praising, praying and rebuking the devil by the blood and power of Christ Jesus. A little while after walking the floor praying, decreeing, and rebuking the enemy, the Holy Spirit came into the room and there was a feeling and a spirit of peace that came over us and in the room. And then the lights stopped flickering and stayed on.
And today as I was driving home and talking with The Lord, The Lord said to me…
“Stand Still!”
This is not only for us, but for all of the saints who are in spiritual warfare with the enemy. The enemy wants us to get frustrated and out of character, so that he can have accusations against us. But we are not fighting flesh and blood and we must know who is the “real enemy”.
He is a “liar” and the father of lies. We know God is in control and we know that the enemy is mad because he is physically manifesting himself. The Body of Christ is in times of extreme spiritual warfare both personally and in the world at large.
This is why we must be equipped for spiritual warfare by putting on the whole armour of God. We must stay dressed, ready and armed to do battle at all times, because we are “marked” and “singled” out for attacks as our adversary, the devil is constantly warring against the people of the most high God.
Our enemy doesn’t take a break and neither should we. But thanks be to our God that we have the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings on our side and He is in control! This is His battle and He has already given us the victory because we are more than conquerors through Him!
Rejoice and give Him praise because the battle is already won! Just stand still and watch God give you the victory while the enemy is looking on!

“Finally, My brethren, be strong in The Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you all may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” Ephesians 6:10-11.
“Then The Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil” Job 1:8.

Isaiah 66:9 (NKJV)
Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
Isaiah 59:19A (AMP)
19 So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].
