I’ve reached the spot. The border that stands between me and the promised land. I stop paralyzed in fear as I consider the giants that have become squatters on my assigned property. “Cross the border,” I hear. “This is your inheritance.”

Swirling reports are launched in various whispers sent from the enemy to keep me still. “Turn back.” “The giants are too big for you!” “You will surely fail.”

The voices have counterfeited well to the likeness of the Lord; Yet, my heart beats in my chest as His Spirit bears witness to resist the spirit of unbelief. I lift up my staff and command the voices, “Be Silent!” They leave at once.

Left to me is a lush land where sweet things are tasted and the Spirit of God feeds the fruit filled gardens from Heaven. Flowers abound from every kind and the scents are full of honeysuckle fragrances with a dash of Rose scents that cause a deep breathing in to inhale His amazing goodness and beauty.

At once, my eyes open and I hear for a second time, “Cross the border.” Realizing my mind has drifted, I lifted one foot, then the other, indeed crossing the border.

I had envisioned some sort of celebration party, the parting of a vast sea, or the Heavens parting that I might see the Heavenly host rallying around me. Instead, I see clearly the enemy glaring towards me and vowing to never be moved.

I slowly take my sword out of it’s sheath and present myself ready for battle. “I did not come this far to turn back now devil!”

I come in the name of the Lord and no weapon formed against me shall prosper!

Before I knew it we were both running directly towards each other and the Spirit of the Lord pressed me to run faster and stronger until 2 feet in front of the enemy I yell with all my lung power, “The Lord rebukes you Oh Satan! You are hence evicted from my property in the name of Jesus! The blood is against you!”

I looked down to find the heel of my foot stopped on something when I slowly glanced down at my feet.

With a smile upon my face I remembered a promise from the Lord, “Very shortly, the devil will be under your feet.”

And the rest is history…
