Have you thought about and do you have faith that God and His angelic forces are working behind the scenes in your life to help you experience victory? If not, you want to. Deut. 28:7 reveals God’s promised blessing, "The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.”
When we read in our Bible about David, we realize that he was a man that had his seasons of hardship, but also had a life filled with many great victories. Some of his hardships were a product of his flawed humanity in the same way some of ours are from our flawed humanity. Others were attacks of the enemy against his life. Although David had some difficult seasons of life, he had a life filled with many victories that came at the hand of God by the grace of God. Understand that David’s victories were a part of God's covenant promises to him and that God was there over the process of David's life helping him win these victories. God and His angelic forces were involved in the unseen realms of David’s life and battles.
Not everyone seeks God for the things that would cause them to inherit these promised blessings of victory and tribute. God wants to be with us and He wants His promises to become ours. Jesus paid the highest price possible just so we could succeed for His glory, but we do have a part. First we have to believe. We have to believe that He is with us, that He is for us, and that He has given these promises to us as a source of supernatural provision and help in this earthly life. We have to be confident that He is working in and through us and in the behind-the-scenes of our life. Bumps in the road and setbacks cannot be allowed to become disqualifiers of our faith. Hopelessness has to be cast out. Our declaration of God being faithful and true to His promises in our life needs to spill from our mouth in prayer and daily conversation—and DESPITE any bleak picture the enemy works to paint through negative circumstances. Believe me, David had plenty of them.
As we try to walk out our walk with God the best we can, we have to believe that He can and will accomplish greater and greater things through us. We have to believe He will help defeat the demonic forces that come against us. Declare it! “I bind you Satan and every demonic attack you have launched against me, against my family, and against our finances. I take authority over you and command you to flee.” When this is our position in Him—when you will be committed to it and you will not be wavering in it—then you will begin to experience the covenant promise of victories over negative circumstances because of your faith in God working on your behalf. Believe that what the devil meant for evil, God will turn for good. Believe the promise that says “though your enemies (the devil) comes against you one way, he must flee seven ways.” Believe that the things he has stolen from you will come back with blessing and increase. David always got tribute: what He took back from the enemy when his battles were won.
Remember that God and His angelic hosts are responding to your faith in His promises and are working behind the scenes toward your victories. You may have setbacks in your life, but as God’s child, victories and tribute belongs to you!
1 Chr 18:6 “David put garrisons in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to him and BROUGHT TRIBUTE. The Lord gave David VICTORY everywhere he went."
In His Love,
