April 14 – The battle belongs to God
It does not encourage us to think that we are in a battle, but the truth is, the more we realize it, we actually start to get divine energy and courage. The most wonderful part of this battle is it is intrinsically connected with the universe so it is God’s prerogative to take care of us and fight the battle for us.
Sometime we wonder if He did not help us during Corona, but it could have been far worse. We are not aware of the millions or billions or trillions of angels involved in daily warfare that holds back the tides of evil. If it were not so, the earth would be clashing with the planets and there were would be stalkers on the streets day and night, and terrors in unprecedented ways.
Though political parties play dirty games, and when one political party tries to put down another or even works to harms their citizens, their plans are foiled just in time. Some citizens sacrificed their lives for the nation to open eyes and they will be heroes in heaven. Some people died in Corona and will be in a beautiful happier place, and because they died, they made people more aware of the lethality of the pandemic because most people are still living in la-la land and downplaying its deadliness.
God who created us protects us day and night. His angels are constantly watching over our lives. While rakshas and demons rage, angels engage in a fiery battle to protect us.
Pedro Okoro, “Spiritual warfare is very real. There is a furious, fierce, and ferocious battle raging in the realm of the spirit between the forces of God and the forces of evil. Warfare happens every day, all the time. Whether you believe it or not, you are in a battlefield. You are in warfare.”
Luke 2:14 says Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men.” Whenever God is present, miracles happen, beautiful change buds and blooms. His peace fill hearts. His presence can destroy the works of darkness over the Earth.. His myriads of angels work all over the earth. While bad things happen, they are prevented to a great degree because of the work of angels the messengers and warriors of God.
Each person has a guardian angel that protects them: A guardian angel is found in Psalm 91, in verse stating “For God will command HIS angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone”
Danie13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia.
Daniel 12…At that time Michael, the great prince (angel) who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
Psalm 91 talks of our angels protecting us, For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways. … For He will command His angels in regard to you, To protect and defend.
God Himself is our protector. Let us be bold, brave, courageous because the battle belongs to Him…especially when we are close to Him. However, He is merciful to all.
