I see a man and he is angry. What was done to him is unjust and his case against his accuser is certainly clear. Yet, in this picture no one seems to be coming to his aid. He cries out to God, ‘where are you when the righteous suffer undue accusations and lies?’
I hear the Lord answer, ‘Son, Daughter have you been offended? Who has caused you to hold bitterness and judgement in your heart? Not me, but the enemy of your soul. The enemy is seeking, in the days ahead, to rise up like a flood – but he will not overcome you.
For I am bringing a season of awareness, knowledge and understanding to purify you from all strongholds, and areas of where you feel weak. Know this: that all who put their trust in me will see the day of salvation. Declare forgiveness, justice and the power of my love and you will see a new freedom from the accuser.
Psalm 144:2
He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
Revelation 3:11-13
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
