Job was a great man who loved God and lived righteously before Him. He had plenty of possessions and a large household all because God blessed him. But unknown to Job, Satan tried many times to attack him but was unsuccessful. One day, Satan came into God’s presence and said of Job: “You have always protected him and his home and his property from all harm. You have prospered everything he does—look how rich he is! No wonder he ‘worships’ you!” (Job 1:10 TLB). That hedge of protection placed by God around Job repelled satan’s attacks every day till Job unknowingly broke it through his wrong words of fear and doubt (Job 1:13-22 and 3:25-26)
Like Job, you’re surrounded with a hedge of God’s protection, including everything that concerns you; that’s why Satan can’t touch you! It’s a spiritual force-field, and it shields you from every attack of the enemy. Don’t use the language of doubt and fear; otherwise, you could break that force-field. Only say what God’s Word says about you. Doing this and praying in other tongues will help strengthen, raise and expand that force-field around you.
Whenever you feel pressure from the enemy, that’s not the time to cry or cower; that’s the time to speak God’s Word and pray in other tongues fervently! At such moments, you don’t just speak in tongues for five minutes and quit; increase your ‘firepower!’ Power up, and strengthen that force-field! And when you do, nothing hatched out of hell will be able to withstand or defeat you.
