Judges 11:24 You keep whatever your god Chemosh gives you, and we will keep whatever the Lord our God gives us.
In this chapter of Judges the Israelites were yet again defending their territory that God had given them and I love this verse because it reminds us that whatever God has given us we have to hang on to it, we have to keep it and protect it.
Jesus Himself tells us in John 10:10 that the enemy comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Jesus came to give us abundant life, not 'let's get by' life but abundant life and it's our job to lay hold of it by faith, and not let the enemy steal, kill or destroy any of it.
He has given us His Holy Spirit, His Name, His Word, His Blood, His Righteousness to enable us to fight the fight of faith and to defeat the enemy every time he comes calling but we have to do it with the power and help of the Holy Spirit. Thank God we never do it on our own or in our own strength but we have God Himself helping us holding our right hand, strengthening us (Read Isaiah 41:10 and 13).
So the next time satan comes knocking on your door trying to steal your peace, your joy, your health or anything else just laugh and say 'I have authority over you so HA HA HA, I WILL KEEP WHATEVER THE LORD MY GOD GIVES ME and you satan are not stealing it from me so GET OUT!'
Hallelujah! Our God reigns and He reigns in us and nothing shall by any means harm us or hurt us. No weapon formed against us shall prosper and the favour of God surrounds us like a shield.
Glory! what more could we want. Praise the name of the Lord our God. Thank You Jesus. 😊
