PUT THIS IN YOUR SPIRIT SELAH !!! You’re not being defeated, you’re being developed. Somebody needs to know that the promise comes with resistance to remind you of the price of favor. Put this in your spirit...After the Children of Israel entered into the promise land, God said, “I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the LORD and walk in it as their ancestors did...(he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience)” (Judges 2:21-3:2). There are three reasons why there are enemies in your promised land. God puts our enemies to good use: To prove our faithfulness, to prove his faithfulness to turn your enemies into your footstool and to teach us how to war. Don’t confuse your battle with denial. You aren’t being denied you’re being delivered. You’re not being stopped, God is teaching you how to stomp. If you weren’t in your promise, you wouldn’t feel any pressure. Promise pressure is for destiny development! Declare This : “My oil is not cheap!”
