God does not play a game of counterattack with the devil — the devil does something bad, then God steps in to bring something good out of it. The truth is, when something bad happens, it is the devil reacting to something good that God has started. The Lord once told me, “Tell My people that if they want to understand what I am doing, just look at what the devil is doing and see it in reverse. That is what I am doing, multiplied many times over.”
I see this truth in the Bible. When Christ was born, soldiers were sent to kill all baby boys under the age of two in Bethlehem. The folks in Bethlehem then would have seen only evil. But there were those like Mary who saw God’s goodness. They knew that God had sent a Savior into the world! The killing of the infants was just the devil’s reaction to the gift of salvation that God had sent.
I thought of Pastor and our church. How God is doing amazing things here in every ministry. How we are impacting our community with E.G. W.I.N.S. How peoples lives are being changed every week. And the enemy is trying to stop what God is already doing!
But he won't succeed.
Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?
Isaiah 41:13
For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Deuteronomy 20:4
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."
Psalm 44:6-8
I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Romans 8:35.37
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ....No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
There is verse after verse of God, who is our overcomer, fighting for us and winning on our behalf. I believe that this is an attack on our Pastor that wont work because God is our overcomer and we put our trust in Him! He is our fortress we run to and are saved! He is our healer! God is our rock! Jesus is our Prince of Peace! God is our protector! Psalm 3:3 says God is my shield! Jesus is our Shepherd! The Holy Spirit is our comforter! On and on I could write of who God is for us! Let us hold on to these truths that God is our overcomer and in Him we can do all things!
