Little By Little.

Satan uses people to try and get us into offense. He knows if he can get us in strife and out of love, we’re out of position to receive the blessings of God. So, stay on the love-line and don’t budge. No matter how much wrong is done to you, forgive, love and pray.

Declare and receive—Psalm 23:5 It’s His promise to prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies.

Again, Exodus 23:27NIV “I will send my terror ahead of you and create panic among all the people whose lands you invade. I will make all your enemies turn and run.

5. He will help you defeat the real enemy. At the end of the day, you might think your enemy is your co-worker, your neighbor or your mother-in-law, but the true enemy is the one pulling all the strings. Ephesians 6:12-13 tells us that we do not fight against flesh-and-blood enemies but against evil spirits.

Most of us know this truth, but it takes a constant reminder when flesh and blood are right in front of us causing so much trouble!

God has given you all authority over the enemy, Luke 10:19, So when he tries to send people your way, rebuke him, send him packing, and remind him that he must go back where he belongs—under your feet!

These are five ways God promises to deal with our enemies. Remember, like any other promise, they require obedience on our part.

If we are unforgiving and unloving toward our enemies, the promises are off the table. If we are worried, trying to take justice into our own hands, or gossiping about the situation—no deal. Stay in obedience, and let God deal with your enemies.

Exodus 23:28NIV I will send terror ahead of you to drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites.

It was God’s intention for His people—the Israelites, to win every battle!

1 John 5:4KJV For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

Exodus 23:29NIV But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals would multiply and threaten you.

Exodus 23:29TM I won’t get rid of them all at once lest the land grow up in weeds and the wild animals take over.

Say—“God has a plan.’ “The land would grow up in weeds and wild animals would take the land over.”

Exodus 23:30NKJV Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.

I've had to say that I like non-stop flights I do not want to get on any connectors. The journey from Mount Sinai to the promised land was supposed to take 11 days, but it turned into a 40 year flight, with 42 stops.

God delivers us little by little. God promotes us little by little. God grows us little by little.

We hate playing the waiting game, we want God to deliver us on his promises yesterday! We plant on Monday and Walt to harvest on Tuesday. Here's a newsflash to all non-farmers—it takes a little longer than that.

Robert Louis Stevenson once said, “Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
