FIRE BY NIGHT
By Glenn H. Jackson
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night,
to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB
BEING AWARE OF THE ENEMY'S SCHEMES
Words
of prophecy:
*___The ability of the Enemy to formulate schemes successfully against My children is not greater than My children to "rise above" those schemes victoriously
- through continual fellowship with Me [and My Word] in the "inner chamber" [the High Place].
...."Therefore
if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God"....
Colossians 3:1-3 NASB
...."In righteousness you will be established; You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; And from terror, for it will not come near
you. If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me. Whoever assails you will fall because of you. Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and brings out a weapon for its work; And I have created the destroyer to ruin. No
weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from Me, declares the LORD".... Isaiah 54:14-17 NASB
...."Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world".... 1 John 4:4 KJV
___ Being
aware of the Enemy's schemes BEFORE they happen is dependent upon one staying close to the Father and His Word in the "inner chamber", daily. As one is faithful to do this on a consistent basis THEN the Word of God - which is living and active - continually
exposes and points out the deepest motivations of their heart. This positioning also helps us to be aware of the Enemy's schemes before we speak or act on them - as the Spirit of wisdom and revelation will reveal it.
___For
instance, when one spends the necessary time with the Father then, when they are suddenly confronted by some difficult situation the words that come out will be the right words for the situation instead of the fear-filled or self-serving words or actions that
can spring out of any ground of fear in the heart if we have not received the necessary Grace for the day in the Presence of God.
___...."For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making
it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life [soul] and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest
parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart".... Hebrews 4:12 The Amplified Translation
___...."for
we are not ignorant of his [Satan's] wiles and intentions".... 2 Corinthians 2:11b The Amplified Translation
Prayer of Proclamation:
___Father, we thank You and praise You that we are NEVER ignorant of Satan's schemes - against us or against those in our "sphere of existence". We proclaim that we are an "alert" people - a people You can use to devastate the
works of the Enemy at EVERY turn. And we declare all of these things DONE [on an ongoing basis] in Jesus' Name - to Your greatest Glory.
