WHEN YOU TURNED A CHALLENGE OVER TO GOD 2

16 BEND DOWN, O LORD, AND LISTEN! Open your eyes, O Lord, and see! LISTEN TO Sennacherib’s WORDS OF DEFIANCE AGAINST THE LIVING GOD.
17 “It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all these nations."
2 Kings 19:16,17 (NLT)

• When you are confronted or challenged, do not allow anxiety or be hysterical about the situation; be composed, do not be restless or destabilized, take the matter to God in prayer:
6 BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, WITH THANKSGIVING, LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD; 7 AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS" (Philippians 4:6,7 NKJV).

• The reason why a number of believers do not experience peace in the time or midst of tribulation is, they usually allow anxiety, thus, they become discomposed, destabilized, to pray and put their trust in God—they become restless because fear and anxiety have taken over.
• When you prayed, supplicated, and added with thanksgiving, you would have peace of God that surpasses all understanding; even in the midst, or time, of tribulations or trials or challenges (Philippians 4:7).
• After you had prayed, God will direct you, give you an instruction on what to do or the steps to take about the matter at hand.

• In the contemporary believers' life, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal or of the flesh. Moreso, we fight the unseen powers of darkness; spirits without bodies: "FOR WE ARE NOT FIGHTING AGAINST PEOPLE MADE OF FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST PERSONS WITHOUT BODIES—the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; AND AGAINST HUGE NUMBERS OF WICKED SPIRITS IN THE SPIRIT WORLD" (Ephesians 6:12 the Living Bible).

• The satanic beings or wicked spirits cannot operate in the world without physical bodies. Because they are bodiless, they always want to possess human bodies, or seldomly animals, to carry out their nefarious activities or wicked Acts.
• Thus, If a believer approached someone who is opposing him or her with physical strength or weapons, such a believer would definitely fail and be defeated or frustrated. God will not be involved when you wanted to use the arm of flesh on any issue you are confronted with.
• However, If you took it up in prayer, fasting, the Word of God, and the application of other spiritual principles; you surely would prevail and win.
• Note:
  a. The weapon of walking in line or living by the principles of the Word of God, the Bible. When you lived holy It would be difficult for the devil and the human opposers to prevail over your life.
  b. The weapons of praying and fasting. A believer who prays without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), who through thanksgiving, supplication, and praying makes whatever they are going through known to God will not be put to shame (Philippians 4:6).
  c. The weapon of tarrying in the presence of God; fellowshipping or having a communion with Him to receive instructions on what to do on, or how to go by, whatever the issue or matter is (Luke 6:12,13).
  d. The weapon of seed-sowing; giving a sacrificial offering, or making a vow, asking God for mercy and His intervention and consider your seed (1 Samuel 1:11).
  e. The weapon of receiving prophetic Impartation from God's delegated authorities over your life (2 Timothy 1:6).
• All the above mentioned points would be a booster to whatever step you take in standing against the devil and any human opposer being used against your life—to confront or fight against you.

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.

• Whatever ailment working against your health and wellness is cursed and completely rooted out in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
• You are made whole and your deliverance is permanent in Jesus' mighty name.
  Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
