The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Rest of God, #26
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Joshua 1:5)
The revelation of God in Christ in the saints among the nations of the earth is a greater expression of Divine Glory than our going to the spiritual Heaven when we die. Dying and going to the spiritual Heaven is glorious, but the resurrection from the dead exceeds that glory. This is why the Scriptures emphasize the coming to earth of the Kingdom of God rather than our life in Heaven prior to the Day of the Lord.
Being under the new covenant we can translate this: "There shall not any wicked spirit be able to stand before you all the days of your life."
When we are living and warring in the Spirit we need have no fear of the forces of Hell. Jesus has given us the authority to tread on all the power of the enemy.
Behold, I give unto you power [authority] to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)
The first sign to follow the believers in Christ is the casting out of devils.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (Mark 16:17)
The kingdoms described in the Old Testament are types and shadows of the true Kingdom of God. Whereas the enemy of Israel was the tribes of Canaan, the true enemy of the Kingdom of God is Satan. We are not to be fighting against flesh and blood. Our enemy is the devil. The Lord God has given His soldiers authority over all the power of the devil.
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) (II Corinthians 10:4)
We are able to overcome wicked people only as we overcome Satan. Our enemy is Satan. When Satan is overthrown, God's will shall be done in earth as it is in Heaven.
God's authority and power have brought the Christian Church to the present hour. God has been with us in what has gone before. God will be with us in all the battles of the future.
God will not fail us. He speaks many promises to us, some of which are not fulfilled for long periods of time. But in the appointed hour the Divine Word will bring forth what was spoken. God never is late. His way is perfect. It will take place exactly as He has spoken.
God never will forsake us. In times of blessing the Presence of the Lord is close to us. Sometimes during seasons of testing it appears God has left us. The heavens are silent, but God always is close to those who are trusting in Him, giving support, wisdom, and deliverance in the hour of trouble (Psalms 46:1; 91:15).
God does not sleep, neither is He careless concerning the circumstances and tribulations of His children. God is vigilant when danger threatens His saints and He has the power to deliver us out of the hand of every enemy (John 10:28,29; Romans 8:38,39).
We can, with Jesus' help, prevail over all the forces of the enemy, and we will do it.
. . . upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.... (Romans 16:20)
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. (Joshua 1:6) (from The Rest of God)
