The Holy Spirit spoke to me about the reasons why we should always do the things to ensure He is not against us. It does not matter who is against us if He the Lord is for us but we never want to find ourselves in a position where the Lord is against us.That is a dangerous place to be.

Pride is the fastest way to make God fight against us because the Lord has to resist pride and bring it down. Leaning on our own understanding and acting out our way forces the Lord to fight against us because we are in opposition to His will. So avoid any such behavior because it brings death. We cannot afford that even for a second.

You say how can that be possible? The Holy Spirit says so and He is the Spirit of Truth and in the book of Revelation:2 we see Jesus reveal that He is against His people on various occasions and makes it clear to them that reality.

Revelation:2.4 But I have this against you: you have lost the love you had at first. What you have lost you need to find back, the Holy Spirit says. Revelation:2.14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: you have some people who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to set a trap for the people of Israel, so that they would eat food that had been sacrificed to idols and commit sexual sin.

Well you need to stop eating the food sacrificed to idols that family or friends offer you and stop committing sexual sin being offered you.Revelation:2.20 But I have this against you: you continue to tolerate that Izevel woman, the one who claims to be a prophet, but is teaching and deceiving my servants to commit sexual sin and eat food that has been sacrificed to idols.

You need to stop tolerating sin and the teaching of that person who claims a prophetic gift but permits servants of God to commit sexualsin and eat food sacrificed to idols. Now Jesus was revealing to John what things He Jesus was against that His people were doing in order to cause them to repent of, correct them and get back in line with Him so the Lord could fight for them and not against them.

Now that got my attention because there are times I have felt the Lord fighting against me when I was trying to reach people who obviously He was not.

I tolerated what I should not have in the name of an excuse of carnal Christians and a work in progress when Jesus was saying time is up for the person and judgment will be released on them just as Jesus did to the Church in Thyatira in Revelation:2.20-23. I encourage you to look at it and meditate on it as you will see an area of Jesus that we don’t want to look at because we don’t believe love can do that but the reality is love does correct and make wrongs right through justice and remember that the foundations of God’s throne are Righteousness and Justice.

I learnt this from the Holy Spirit that righteousness cannot be established unless there is a system of Justice to curb offenders and breakers of the law. As the Holy Spirit continued He said I should always evaluate my daily walk with the Lord to ensure that I am not working against the Lord in what I am doing so the Lord does not fight against me.

I need Him most definitely fighting for me and defeating my enemies that rise against me, not Him resisting me.

Remember Joshua when fighting against Ai and they were defeated , God said I am not for you so sort out with me your sin when Joshua had cried out to the Lord for help.

Now most occasions this happens is when I am extending stupid love, blind loyalty as the Holy Spirit calls it and ignoring the real facts and seeking a way to absolve the individual of responsibility for their actions, big mistake because as Jesus said it will cost me His protection which I cannot afford to lose.

We need to agree with the Lord as we see in these passages in Revelation and change our perspective and align with His truth to continue enjoying the benefits of His shielding of our lives.

The Holy Spirit will always point out these truths to us but we have to choose to agree with Him for them to benefit us. We cannot refuse to climb the ladder provided for us to climb out with and expect we will be safe in the dungeon with evil surrounding us and say no weapon formed against me shall prosper. The weapon is already prospering. I need to climb out to be free not remain there a minute longer suffering unjustly because I won’t take the way out the Lord provides.

Well today as I have shared these truths from the Holy Spirit with you lay hold of the grace they provide you and come out from every agreement you have made that has caused Jesus to be against you and find the way out this word is opening to you to regain Jesus’ support and protection back in your life and His power working for you to defeat your enemies once again and give you a testimony of triumph over the works of the enemy that have sought to swallow you up and ruin your life.

May the good hand of the Lord be restored to you today and may you see triumph beyond measure overshadowing your life again in Jesus Name as you align back to completely trusting the Lord and resting in His wisdom and path for your life in Jesus name. Amen.
