The Israelites who saw the miracles for 40 years were crying. They embraced each other and said that they were sure to die by the sword of the Amalekites as they did not have enough strength. They drowned themselves in a sea of sorrow. Like the Israelites even we get depressed when we are not able to bear the problems. We moan by sharing each other’s problems. Finally, unable to bear any more we think that we should ask God to take away our life. But we forget that we have a living God. We do not kneel down and pray to the God who led the Israelites in the wilderness. Instead we blame Satan and entertain doubts. Satan creates all the doubts and causes unbelief. He tells us that God himself has given us the trials. He raises doubts like, if God is present then why do such things happen? He stops us from reading the Word and praying as God is the sole reason. He creates a distance. But we should read the word, kneel down and pray fervently without ceasing. Do not leave the word! We will definitely receive and win over what we have asked for. Among the regular churchgoers, many are against God. We should not forget that Satan is a liar. NUMBERS 14 : 9 says, Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us; their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us; fear them not. Then, Moses and Aaron tell their people not to fear because the Amalekites will surely fall before them. “Nothing on this earth can frighten us.” We will be able to solve every problem. We will not be troubled by any problems but win over them. No kind of problems or disasters can stand before us. The Comforter will deliver and comfort us from all our problems. God will bless us abundantly. When we are strengthened and take authority over everything in our life. We may have prayed in our troubles many times. But we will definitely be blessed at some moment. We do not know how the bones of a baby grow in the womb. In the same manner, with- out our knowledge, we will be blessed. We may pray and forget but God will never forget our prayers. We may compromise according to the situations but our loving God will definitely answer us. For our God of Israel does not sleep nor slumber. Hallelujah! left behind. As these days are called as “The Era of Grace!” We should do things according to God’s ability. All things that are causing us to fear will fall before us. Every victory is in our words. We should confess and prophesy the word of God as a solution to our every problem. This is God’s quality and it is like speaking to with the likeness of his image. That is why a poor man should confess that he is rich, a weak person that he is strong and a sick person that he is healed. We ought to confess in such a manner that we have received them already. Then Victory is ours. Faith speaks only victory. Hallelujah! Even before the war begins, faith declares Victory. This is the characteristic of a believer. Such people will be called as heroes of faith and this shows the ability of God. JOSHUA 14 : 10 - 11 says, And now, behold the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. When we confess in this manner, God will w
