Deuteronomy 2:24 (MSG) “Here’s Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon and his land. I’m handing it over to you—it’s all yours. Go ahead, take it. Go to war with him. Before the day is out, I’ll make sure that all the people around here are thoroughly terrified.”

John Nelson Hyde was an American missionary who was transformed by the power of prayer. Initially when he began his ministry he was not a very fervent Christian and didn’t deem it necessary to seek the anointing.
In 1892, he was on a ship taking him to serve in India, when he received a letter from a friend highlighting his need to seek for the Anointing. Angry at his friend’s suggestion, John threw the letter away. But later acknowledging that his friend was right, John then humbled himself and prayed to God for help.
When he arrived in India, it soon became obvious that he indeed needed power. He was one of only five missionaries in a territory of nearly one million unbelievers. The spiritual resistance to his mission work was so much that initially despite all his efforts he had no converts for 8 years. In addition, he suffered great persecutions.
By 1899, his prayer life became so intense that he began spending entire nights face down before God until he began to see breakthroughs.
The work began to progress and many men came to Christ in the Punjab region where he served.
However, his enemies and persecutors among the local leaders of the town were not happy. They sent a man to pretend to be a believer and stay with Hyde in the hope of finding something they could use to taint his image. However, John Hyde’s prayers generated so much power, that one day this man ran out of the house screaming and confessing.
The enemies’ plan to smear Hyde had failed woefully. Eventually Hyde’s much prayers resulted in the wave of revival that swept through India bringing many souls into God’s kingdom.
When you begin to generate fire in prayer, the hidden battles against you will be exposed and your enemies will flee.
Therefore to succeed in life, you must be ready to fight. Don’t be complacent about your destiny because life will always answer to valiant spiritual warriors who will battle on their knees.
Truly, without contention, there cannot be possession.
In Deuteronomy 2:24 God told the Israelites to fight Sihon the king of Heshbon in order to possess the land that had been given to them.
While this is our year to break forth on every side, we must contend in prayers to take possession of what belongs to us.
The truth is that what you do not pursue you cannot possess. Your level of welfare is determined by your level of warfare.
We must therefore be aggressive in our faith and actions to see God’s purpose and plan for our life fulfilled.
There are forces that will always try to resist your every move and keep you stagnant. If you don’t engage in spiritual warfare, you may not understand the reason for your lack of progress.
To see breakthroughs, miracles, signs and wonders we must pay the price of accepting spiritual responsibility. Certainly in this season, as we begin to generate much power through a spiritually fervent lifestyle , every opposition will be conquered and we will truly break forth on every side .
PRAYER: Father I thank You for the power You have made available to me through Christ Jesus. I receive the grace to persevere in faith until I overcome every enemy of my destiny and truly break forth on every side in Jesus Name.

God is preparing you for the season He prepared for your breakthrough WORDBITE 222.
