Day 149
Numbers 23:23
“Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and Israel, What hath God wrought!”
During the time when Baalam was asked to curse Israel, the world was full of all kinds of idol worship. Witchcraft and other forms of the occult were common. When the king of Moab asked Baalam to curse the children of Israel, he did not understand that he had not only come against Israel, but also the Almighty God. There was no enchantment against God, who was on their side.
We must stay in fellowship with God and walk in confidence, free from fear of any contrary powers. Jesus said, “ All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” If God has all power, then there is none left for anyone else, including Satan. Any power that Satan or any human being has is null and void in the presence of God. If we ever think someone is attempting to harm us in any way, including using witchcraft, we should boldly declare our protection from all power that is not of God.
Isaiah 54:17 declares that the servants of God have victory over every weapon formed against them. It says they have the right to condemn every word spoken against them. Our enemy has already been conquered for us. We are responsible to enforce that defeat. Just like it happened with Israel, after all the enemy’s attempts, people will be able to look at us and say, “Look at what the Lord has done!”
“No evil can work against me. I am eternally victorious. I stand firm in my freedom from the powers of darkness. God is on my side, and others will look at me and say, “Look what the Lord has done!”
