“The Lord gives victory to His anointed.
He answers him from His heavenly sanctuary
With the victorious power of His right hand.”
Psalm 20:6
I came face to face with the devil this week.
I saw the eyes of the enemy staring back
at me…
Accusing
me
Cursing
me
Defying
me
I wasn’t expecting it –
maybe I should have been.
But that’s how he operates . . .
Swiftly
Unexpectedly
Without
warning.
Many years ago the Lord gave me a dream.
In this dream,
I came face to face with the enemy;
I actually had my hands cupped around
the face of someone when it changed
into the face of the evil one.
In
a snarling voice, he said to me,
“Who
do you think you are?”
I’ll tell you who I am . . .
I’m a daughter of the King!
Royalty
Privileged
Powerful
This time I wasn't dreaming.
And instead of asking me
who I
thought I was,
he told me
who he thought I was.
A
failure
Inadequate
Foolish
There was just enough truth to get my attention.
But he’s forgotten that it’s all covered.
A red fountain of blood has washed over
each and every one of them
until they have become pure white.
Today at church we participated in
communion,
remembering Jesus’ precious blood,
poured out for just that purpose –
to wash us clean.
We sang a song:
Blood
of Jesus shed for me.
Precious blood, my covering be.
The
only view God has of me
Is
through the blood of Jesus.
I came face to face with the enemy
last week.
And no doubt I will face him again in the
future.
He may wound me,
but he will not defeat me.
For this I know:
"In all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us."
Romans 8:37
