Sometimes God will keep you from the fire. Other times God will make you fireproof and take through the fire. To point one, David reminded us in Psalms 121:7, “The Lord will protect you from all evil [fire]; he will keep you safe.” To point two, David yet again encourages us in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil [fire]…..” Bottom line, God is your rear guard (Isaiah 52:12), blocking the enemy’s weapons. This is why the devil will never win! To remind you that God is fighting the enemy on your behalf, I’m stirring Exodus 14:14 into your cup of revelation and inspiration, which says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” As you drink down the contents of your latte, place your hope, confidence and trust in the Lord who

defends you. Know that He is your present help in trouble. And remember, the attack the enemy had planned will not succeed. God has already blocked it and surrounded you with favor to move you forward.

Now let’s pray.

God, the enemy is attacking me from every angle, but I know I am protected, blessed and favored. Despite what it looks like right now, I refuse to speak defeat, but I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, for You are my help. Thank You Lord for the victory You have already won!

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
