In the Presence of Your Enemies.

Enjoy!

“You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies.” – Psalms 23:5

I had plenty of enemies in my teens, and rightly so, I was rude, obnoxious and would start fights because I felt like it. ⁠
⁠
But when I became a Christian, I learnt what it meant to have enemies for no reason.⁠
⁠
Before I learnt that lesson, I got the revelation that according to Ephesians 6:12, our battle is not physical, but spiritual. In other words, when people are unjustly coming against you, it’s not because they just decided to attack you, Satan assigned a spirit to an individual to wage war against you. ⁠
⁠
Therefore, there is no point in fighting the person; you’ve got to launch the attack against the spirit working through that person. ⁠
⁠
The women in prison were either drawn to my light, or they were repelled by it. ⁠
⁠
The women who were repelled by my light would spread rumours about my case, or stand in ear shot of me saying things like, “She ain’t no Christian, she a killer, didn’t you see her on the news?” Then add, “People are only fooled by her British accent.” Just so I knew they were definitely talking about me. ⁠
⁠
Did I get angry? Absolutely! And I wanted to defend my name, but the Holy Spirit would always remind me that He was my defence. So, instead, I would go to war in the spirit and pray. ⁠
⁠
After my case was dismissed, those same women watched me walk out of prison.⁠
⁠
Even after I left, I received letters from my sisters stating they were spreading rumours that my case was not dismissed and I had gone to finish my sentence in the UK. ⁠
⁠
What did God do? Ensure my name and case information were printed in the local law newspaper!⁠

The Lord will make certain that the same people who attempted to take you down, will watch you RISE IN POWER! ⁠ Click To Tweet
