Today's
E-Votion
The
Victory
(continued)
Let's continue to talk victory! Do
you know how often the Word of GOD
uses the word? Wanna see? Click

will be talking for a while about Victory over this life's system and our
entrance into eternity (the Ultimate Victory).
Judges
15:18-20
18
Because he was very thirsty, he cried out to the LORD, "You
have given your servant this great victory. Must I now die of
thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?" 19
Then God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of
it. When Samson drank, his strength returned and he revived. So
the spring was called En Hakkore, and it is still there in
Lehi.
20
Samson led Israel for twenty years in the days of the
Philistines.
-----------------------------------
The relationship between the True
and Living GOD and HIS
people is very strong, sometimes defying our natural
understanding. But that is only because we see things from a
human perspective. Above,
Samson had just killed over 1,000 Philistines with a fresh jawbone
of a donkey. Shortly prior to that he had caught 300 foxes,
tied them together in pairs and fixed lit torches to their bound
tails, sending them through the crops of the Philistines,
destroying their food supply. He
was a man at war with the Philistines. He was also anointed
by the LORD to be a Judge of
Israel, who at that time was under the control of the Philistines. After
his exploits against the invaders, he was thirsty. So his GOD
opened up a hollow place full of (I am sure) the best
spring water ever tasted by a man. Folks,
I don't know how to break this to you, but, I guess I will have to
be blunt! Our GOD is at
war! HE was at war
against the Philistines who had taken captive of HIS
people back then, and HE is at
war against the darkness and its emissaries who attempt to enslave
HIS people today. GOD
is not a weak, powerless, anemic phantom who sits around and muses
about the misfortunes of HIS
children. HE
IS AT WAR!
HE IS AT WAR AGAINST OUR ENEMIES! HIS
Name is THE LORD
OF HOSTS.
Hosts means armies. LORD
means CAPTAIN, RULER
and SUPREME AUTHORITY.
That is JESUS. In our
time, ninety percent or more is a battle in the Spiritual
Realm. We wage
warfare with the tools that HE
has given us, like Prayer, Praise, Fellowship, HIS
Armor, HIS Word.
Sometimes the battle becomes physical, as many of you who are
reading this know only too well, being persecuted for your faith. Samson
made many mistakes and some of them eventually cost him his life,
but not before he saw incredible victory in his life. We
have the SPIRIT in us to
safeguard us against making those same mistakes. I
guess the point is to realize how serious the LORD
is about you and your faith in HIM.
HE risks all for you, HE
gave all for you. Won't you join the battle? And
remember -
JESUS
Never Fails!
