Christians do fight. The Lord has prepared us for fighting because He informs us that we are part of warfare, through Him we possess mighty weapons, and our wrestling is not with flesh and blood. Moreover, God fights. He fights for us. Like King David, we too are taught by the Lord how to fight victoriously with our hands and fingers. Yet, it is important that we follow every directive of the Lord when in battle. If He says take no prisoners or leave no stone unturned, that we must do. The Lord is a Man of War. As obedient soldiers, we follow through to assure that this kind (demonic foe) we will never see again. Prior to the battle and while in the thick of it, God informs us of our enemies' designs and shows us how to triumph; therefore, human rational cannot be permitted to interfere with God’s battle plans. Yes, some battles will be intense, longer than others, and even leave us scared, but they ultimately become our testimony of God’s victory in our lives.

Keep in mind that various battles God identifies and speaks to saying; "You're all mine.” As the Lord instructed King Jehoshaphat and all of Judah, we too can benefit from His instructions, "You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord Who is with you", (2 Chronicles 20:1-29). Again, be obedient. Although you are not fighting, you are told in this instance to root yourself in your position, which is your adopted point of view of who God is and what He has already done. Our willful recollections of His acts of love towards us establishes rest, courage, peace, order, joy, faith, hope, trust, patience, prayer, praise, worship, and more. With such a history with God and rooted requisites such as these, we can then stand still. Many folk do not follow this divine sequence. They only focus on the stand still directive, which is successful only after we have taken our godly positions. Thus, many deliverances are delayed because anxiety, fear, doubt, and other agents of darkness are chosen positions rather than the aforementioned. This disorderliness only thwarts the stillness of our stand.

Trust the Captain of the Host, Jesus. Follow in His footsteps and no foe can stand against you in the fray.
