God backs you up according to His will

When we are under attack, we need to know that we are in right standing with God.

Joshua 8:18(NKJV) Now the LORD said to Joshua: “do not be afraid or be dismayed, take all the people of war with you, and arise go up to Ai see, I have given into your hands the king of Ai his people, his city and his land”.

Joshua 8:10 (NKJV) Then Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people and went up, he and the elders of Israel before the people of Ai.

Joshua 8:18-19 (NKJV) Then the LORD said to Joshua, stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hands. And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand towards the city. 19So those in ambush arose quickly out of their place, they ran as soon as he stretched out his hand, and entered the city and took it, and hurried to set the city on fire.

It’s encouraging making us feel courageous when you know God is backing you up and you know He is on your side, you can say as the scripture promise in Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the servant of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me” says the LORD.''

Having said this we can fall into the trap of being over confident, which is self-confidence, because we plan, say and do things of our own will, without first seeking the Holy Spirit to find out if it is God’s will and purpose (in front and behind us).

In Acts 19:15 (NKJV) And the evil spirit answered and said “Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you?”. When we are under attack, we need to know that we are in right standing with God.

In 2 Chronicles 20:14-15&17 (NKJV) Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah a Levite son of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15 And He said “listen all of you of Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem and you, king Jehoshaphat, thus says the LORD to you, do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 17 You will not need to fight this battle, position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear or be dismayed, tomorrow go out against them for the LORD is with you.

Jesus said in Matthew 18:18 (NKJV) “Assuredly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth, will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven”.

God has given us this authority and power as believers in Him to do this. There must be agreement in both realms, if it’s not approved where God is, it will not be approved where we are. Our confidence comes from knowing we are operating in God’s will.

In 1 Corinthians 3:9 (NKJV) Paul writes “We are God’s fellow workers, you are God’s field and you are God’s building”. So we can’t go off and do our own things, don’t try moving mountains the Lord doesn’t want moving or raising anybody from the dead, except the Lazarus He called forth. We do on earth only what God has declared to be His will in heaven. And He will back you up.

May God richly bless and keep you as you do His will, in Jesus Name.
