Battle Plan...

Years ago, I sought the Lord to break areas of addiction in my life.

“Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle...”
Psalm 144:1

Jesus was calling me to meet with Him every morning and get that day’s battle plan. He was training me to break the enemy’s grip on my life and He never told me something the Holy Spirit wouldn't enable me to do.

Many days when I came to Him I would get the same nudge of the Spirit to repeat what He had spoken to me the day before. The more quickly I obeyed and responded, He would then move me onto the next step. Little did I know...I was learning to hear His voice daily. Little did I know...the devil was being defeated by my every advance. It also taught me how to maintain my freedom when absolute freedom came.

Did I not come some mornings? Sure. Did I come and then not listen? Certainly! Yet through all this failure on my part... He never revoked His invitation to meet with me. He...never failed to come.

What do you need freedom from? There are many facets to experiencing true freedom in Christ, but getting a daily battle plan from the Lord’s heart to yours is probably the sweetest.
