Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:7

To trust in things that are made by man can help up to a point, as long as the battle or challenge is physical; however, if there is any demonic influence behind this, all efforts will be useless. There is only one that guards His servants and will not sell Himself or behave against His will: our God. Those who rely or trust in man-made solutions will despair and not prevail, because its power is very little and finite. 

There are many places where some put their faith in nature, invoking “forces” and their “gods”, but this is entirely foolish, because the Creator did not empower any of them to serve man. The worship of the “spirits of nature”, in truth is addressed to the king of Hell. We must only trust in the Lord and worship only Him, unless we really want to have serious problems.

Do not despair with adverse circumstances or situations. They bring suffering, but when you can no longer stand them and you mention the name of the Lord, you will see His power acting to deliver you. As you invoke this Name with entirety of faith, you will be delivered from enemies; so therefore you must invoke Him in Spirit and in Truth. Your position facing the kingdom of evil is one of superiority.

The Christian is free from all condemnation (Romans 8:1). The Lord said he would remove from his mouth what the king of evil had eaten. Babylon has fallen and will never again be rebuilt. We must only leave it behind and take advantage that it can no longer hold any of its victims. We are God’s people and will never be overpowered by anything that comes from the kingdom of darkness. You must rid yourself of everything that binds you.

The end of our affliction is real. We used to be a people that had been stolen and looted, with no prospect of freedom, but with the advent of the Savior, we were freed from the caves that bound us and the houses that imprisoned us (Isaiah 42:22). The Son of God, after dying in our place, went to this terrible place and set us free. The devil will never again have us in his hands. Thank You, Lord! Our trials are over!

God loved us because He is just. The Most High found pleasure in us that lived in the infernal dungeons of lasciviousness, theft and deception. Jesus came in our favor, finding pleasure in us by love of His righteousness. There is no way to explain this. By His decree, we were made free, glorious and great in Him. There is no way that the Lord can stop loving us and no way to cancel His decrees.

Let us trust only in the Name of Jesus; after all, the Almighty has turned to us His ears and heard our cry. The eyes of the Lord are open to lead us in the path we must follow. We do not trust in the works of man, or in the “gods of nature”, but we mention the Name of the Lord, our God. Halleluiah!

In Christ, with Love,
