Shake Yourself Out Of The Shock And Move In!
“Where can we go? Our brothers have demoralized us with their report. They tell us, “The people of the land are taller and more powerful than we are, and their towns are large, with walls rising high into the sky! We even saw giants there—the descendants of Anak!”’ “But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid of them! The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt. And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way as you traveled through the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place.’”
Deuteronomy 1:28-31 NLT
Sadly, having read this story, you know that in the end they were forbidden to enter.
Those who gave the hopeless reports were treated the same as those who believed them. Both shared the same fate experiencing a door of destiny close before them.
Is the enemy threatening you with hopeless thoughts? What has God promised you? What have you seen Him do? What does His word say?
“He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”
Psalms 91:4 NLT
Can you believe His promises? Then you are under His protection!
I have been guilty of standing frozen in amazement at the evil actions of the enemy. Twice last year I found myself in situations where the Lord expected me to shift the atmosphere.
There is a remedy, which we must learn.
Shake yourself out of the shock!
Stop right now and think of 10 favors the Lord has graciously bestowed on your life! What has He done for you this year? Remind him of 10 of them.
You have just entered His gates!
Now, who is He? “The Lord strong and mighty…The Lord invincible in battle”. Repeat this to Him.
You have just gone into His courts!
Take this two step tactic and move right in to the next place of glory the Lord has given you to occupy.
