1 John 4:4 ‘Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.’

DAILY READING ‘Matthew 20:17-34; Numbers 15-16; Ecclesiastes 9:13-10:20’

Maria Woodworth-Etter was one of the most influential Pentecostal Evangelists of the early 1900s. She was an outstanding preacher who was often used by God to break down resistance to the Gospel and bring thousands of hardened sinners into God’s Kingdom.
One particular meeting she held was in a town called ‘devils den’. No minister had ever been successful there. Some of the best ministers who tried to hold meetings there, left discouraged because of the people’s stiffness and resistance.
When Maria began her meetings, the people only attended to mock her. They believed she would soon be run out of town, shattered and defeated. But they received the surprise of their lives because Mariah knew the key to spiritual warfare, and the fervency of fasting and praying that unlocked Heaven’s power.

As the beginning of the meetings, no one participated or responded to her. And for three days Maria preached and sang alone. Finally, on the fourth night, she exercised her spiritual authority through intercession and tore down the demonic principality that ruled over ‘devils den’.
That night, God’s power swept down on the people in the meeting. Overwhelmed, they trembled in their seats and cried out in repentance before God. Overcome by the Holy Spirit, many gave their lives to Christ as their stiffness and resistance to the Gospel was finally broken. As news of the event spread like fire, ministers from other towns came down to help Maria reap the harvest of souls in ‘devil’s den’. It was indeed the greatest manifestation of Power the town had ever witnessed.

We often have to deal with spiritual resistance when carrying out our God given assignments. However, the power of God is designed to put us in command over such oppositions.
Indeed in every man’s promised land there will always be giants, but through God’s power we can overcome them all.
The truth is that it takes power to possess your possession and there are forces that must be cut down for your destiny to progress. However, thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph.
Therefore no matter how tough the situations that try to resist you, don’t ever get discouraged, because you are born to overcome them, you are wired to win.
Whenever you are confronted, always remember that the Greater One lives in you. And He who is in you will always be greater than anything confronting you.
Through the power of God you can overcome every stronghold, oppositions, limitations and hindrances arrayed against you.
When we take the spiritual responsibility to fast, pray and study God’s Word, we receive the power to break down every limitation and barriers. Through the exercise of power we can subdue the forces fighting against our open doors and silence our mockers.
In this period of waiting upon the Lord, it is an ideal time to deal with the issues confronting your progress and enforce your desired change of story.
Surely as we begin to engage God’s power in this season, we shall overcome every resistance, rule in the midst of our enemies and rise to our glorious next level of destiny.

PRAYER;
Father I thank You for releasing upon me the power to overcome everything that has been resisting my progress. Surely by Your grace I have the victory over every opposition and I am rising to my next level of destiny in Jesus Name.
