I was waiting upon the Lord this morning, and as I was waiting, I saw myself walking with the Lord in a forest. We were talking about the Kingdom of God, and as I was having such fellowship with Him, I saw a venomous snake slithering through the grass. Then I remembered the verse in Genesis 3:15, that Jesus would crush the head of the serpent. However, in that experience, the Lord did not do so. Instead, He impressed upon me that I should be the one doing it.
So I stomped on it, but the snake was too strong and was able to resist my attack. However, I saw that its head was being bruised, so I kept on doing it, but it did not seem to affect it anymore. So I looked around and saw a huge stone, and I thought I could use it as a weapon. While picking up the stone, a Scripture came to life - Matthew 21:42: “The stone which the builders rejected, this became the chief cornerstone.” I felt that the stone was the Lord Jesus Himself, and so I smashed the head of the snake, and it was completely destroyed.
After that, the Lord Jesus looked at me, and I felt that He was saying that authority was given to Him, and we are commissioned by Him to use that authority through Him against our enemies in battle - that we have nothing to fear and that we must face the enemy head-on.
I was contemplating that vision and thinking about the battle we had recently and how we should have dealt with it -that the prayers we made was pleading for God to deliver us from the attacks of the enemy instead of rebuking it and dealing with it head-on rather than cowering in fear.
Then I came across a verse in Luke where it says that all you need is faith as small as a mustard seed, and you can command the mulberry tree to be uprooted.
Then it sank into my heart that, as Christians, we often look for a grand encounter or one solid rhema word before we act, and we forget that in battle, God does not always give us the big picture, but just a small hint of what we should do. As we act in accordance with what He has given, that small faith begins to grow.
The battle is the Lord’s, but we have to take action as soldiers of God in this world. People cannot know God unless we first win them in prayer. That is why Jesus said that we have to pray to the Lord of the harvest (Matthew 9:38).
We need to keep on praying and face the enemy head-on instead of cowering in fear of the negative outcome.
We have the tools to win the battle - all we need is faith as small as a mustard seed.
