In his book titled ‘With Signs Following,’,  Stanley H. Frodsham, tells the story of a remarkable incident that happened during the war in Manchuria, China. On 18th September 1931, Japanese troops invaded the Chinese town of Manchuria.  Though Japan had a highly developed industry, their land was scarce of natural resources.  Japan therefore decided to invade Manchuria for oil, rubber and lumber in order to make up for their lack of these resources. While invading China, the Japanese troops came to a mission house where there were a number of Christians praying. These Christians had barricaded themselves in  their compound.  The Japanese soldiers shouted at them to open the gates, but these Christians refused and eventually the soldiers forced their way into the house. As these soldiers rushed in, one of them grabbed a  native Chinese evangelist. He was about to kill him, when the evangelist burst into an utterance in tongues by the power of the Spirit. The soldier stopped and after a moment he said: ‘Why did you not tell me there were Japanese here?’ He was told there were no Japanese in the compound, but he insisted that there were Japanese, and said the evangelist had just told him in the Japanese language, that if any harm were done to the compound or its inhabitants the judgment of God would fall upon him and his fellow soldiers. The evangelist of course couldn’t speak Japanese, but rather had spoken by the utterance of The Holy Ghost. As a result of that incident none of the believers in the compound were harmed, and shortly afterward a revival broke out among the Chinese in the district and many were brought to Christ.

Indeed when we speak in tongues we speak mysteries. And whenever we engage this mystery, The Holy Spirit arises for our deliverance.

Isaiah 59:19 says ‘When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.’

The Holy Spirit is indeed our protection. And we need His help greatly now as we draw closer to the end of the age. Jesus already made us understand that the end times will be evil times. And as we draw closer to it, the tempo of spiritual battles on earth is increasing. The battle is ongoing whether you like it or not. The battle is raging in the spirit realm, no matter where you run to in the world. And no matter how nice, docile and quietly you try to live your life, you will be confronted one way or the other. The only way out is to be ready to do warfare.  And our enemies are essentially spiritual entities.

Ephesians 6:12 says ‘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.’

And the way to fight is to pray. Every force of the Spirit is engaged on the altar of prayer. It is the Anointing that breaks the yoke. Therefore, in every area where you are being confronted today, begin to engage the mystery of praying in the Holy Ghost for your deliverance. Do not keep quiet, a closed mouth is a closed destiny. Indeed by the mystery of the Spirit, every misery in our lives will be swallowed up in Jesus Name. 

PRAYER: Lord, by the help of Your Spirit, enable me to escape every trap of the wicked set against me today. Thank You Lord for making me a conqueror in every battle of life in Jesus Name.
