The enemy, an advantage!

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.” Psalm 110:1-3 KJV

The presence of the enemy is not your disadvantage; it is your advantage when you are properly seated. Power is released from a seating position. When you are seated with Christ, your environment no longer defines your outcome; your position with Him does. That is why Scripture declares that you will rule in the midst of your enemies. Not after they are gone. In the midst of them.

David proclaimed in Psalms 23:5, “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” Your enemies become spectators of your victory. They watch you eat, increase, and advance. They are powerless to stop you because you carry the anointing of God. The Lord Himself places a boundary around your destiny and declares in Psalms 105:14-15, “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” When you learn to sit with the Lord, the enemy becomes your proof, your platform, and your promotion. Learn from Jesus, who typically spent the early hours of the day in prayer (Mark 1:35) and observe how you can take advantage of your enemy, no matter how strong they are.

Prophetic Word: I declare that every opposition assigned to delay you shall become the stage upon which God displays His power in your life. Your enemies shall witness your elevation, your peace, your overflow, and your dominion. You will not struggle for victory; you will demonstrate it. In Jesus’ mighty name.

Prayer: Father, I thank You that through Christ I am seated in heavenly places. Today I receive fresh strength, divine wisdom, and supernatural boldness. I decree that every enemy becomes a testimony of Your power in my life. Let Your anointing distinguish me, protect me, and elevate me. I rule in the midst of opposition, and I walk in victory, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
