Last few months, I had to deal with an annoying cough and a scratchy throat. First I thought, I was under the weather and my symptoms would dissipate on its own, but they didn’t. I wondered, “What is it I am dealing with, since my COVID results are NEGATIVE?”
The scratchiness and pain in my throat were unbearable. There were times I had to cough so hard in order to clear my throat. The symptoms hindered me to carry on my conversation with others. I was about to go to a doctor to see what was going on with my throat. But then a thought came, perhaps the Holy Spirit brought it to my attention that it was an enemy attack. As I started to wage spiritual warfare against my symptoms and commanded them to go in Jesus’ name, I felt an immediate shift. My symptoms ceased for a few hours which gave me relief but then they returned. At this juncture, I had a choice to make whether to continue to fight against the enemy’s tantrums Or give in to them. I chose to stand. It was definitely a TUG OF WAR which required my patience and perseverance. The blood of Jesus has Wonderful Working Power to break every chain and obstacle that comes our way. The enemy looses its power when we stand FIRMLY on the Word of God and use our God given authority against our cumbersome situations. Prayers are POWERFUL when spoken in the name of Jesus, so let us contend and continue to contend for our breakthroughs. It took me several months to overcome my throat symptoms, but it was worth the fight. Finally, the enemy gave in, and I was set free from his grip! What you overcome, you have authority over it! The battle is the LORD’S, but the victory is always OURS! Keep standing alongside of the Lord, as He is fighting your battles behind the scene! Your breakthrough is just around a corner if you continue to walk all the way through with Him. Blessings in your perseverance!
