When the Enemy Defends the Threshold
KATHY—When harassment and affliction and irritations and attacks reach their peak, the enemy is defending the threshold of promise. He fights dirty and he is persistent. He will start fires and battles just to distract us and delay us, hoping we will get exhausted or lose direction or miss God’s timing. May we remember these wars are about character issues even though evil and circumstances seem to be the problems. The key to prevailing is to agree with God and His word. The strategy to prevail is to submit ourselves to God and trust Him. That breaks down to our daily behavior. We cannot ignore godly counsel. We cannot make our decisions based on how we feel instead of what we know to be true. We cannot mouth our discouragements and frustrations and fears, (thereby giving them strength through agreement). We cannot forget His principles and try to survive by our zeal or stubbornness. We dare not exchange the promise of God for a bowl of relief as Esau did.

Distraction Dwarfed
MELISSA—A couple of months ago I asked the Lord to show me if I was missing anything with all that has been happening in our nation. I instantly saw a picture of an octopus with more arms than are natural. On the tip of each arm was either a television, phone, tablet or computer. I knew this was about distraction and brainwashing. As I watched, in slow motion, another arm, that was massive, started coming up from the deep. It did not have any device on the end of it, and it was in motion to land quite a blow on its target. As it rose from the depths it began to shrink. By the time it was in position it was completely dwarfed! This led me to declare, You will not have the impact you planned BUT YOU WILL BRING MORE AWAKENING! Fast Forward to the Roe vs. Wade leak and then it being overturned. Darkness tried its best to keep that from happening but that blow did not land as intended!

Dedication and Distraction
Martin P—By the time we find Samson at the Philistine mill grinding grain, it is a noted fact that the Hebrew strong man has already lost his hair which was an outward sign of an inward devotion to his God. We see now not only lost hair, but lost devotion and its resultant ineffectiveness. His vow, i.e., his degree of dedication, was directly connected to his ability and the outcome of his endeavors. The sign and the reality the hair so blazingly represented, are nonexistent. The Philistine princes did not bribe Delilah to give Samson a new hairdo, they bribed her to toy with him and get him distracted from his mandate. Dedication and distraction will end up in an inevitable head-on collision with damaging results. 1Cor.7:35,ESV–“I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.”
