“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
When a request involves dealing
with a strongman , wrestling is needed. If the person involved is not willing to
wrestle, he may not see answers to his prayers despite the fact that God has
answered them. This is one of the reasons why you should never give up in
prayers. The moment you have established
that your request is the will of God for your life, you must not take no for an
answer. This is because you may be dealing with an hindering force or
personality.
“Then said he unto me, Fear not,
Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand,
and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for
thy words. But the prince of the kingdom
of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief
princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.”
Daniel 10:12-13
Daniel had an answer from God the
first day he prayed but the Angel bringing his answer was arrested and detained
by the forces of darkness. Daniel continued to wrestle in prayers until the
Angel was released. He got the answer
only after twenty one days. If he had stopped praying he would have forfeited
the answer and concluded that God did
not answer.
May the request you have been
waiting for be released to you in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: I break the power of
the devil over my blessings in Jesus name.
