Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the Power, these are Yours by right, but the GLORY is what we give You as the answer comes and You receive the Glory from us!’ I felt confident at that moment that without question I would receive from Him exactly what I was asking, so that then I could give Him all the Glory!
‘When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises up a standard against Him!’ (Isaiah 59:19). The expression ‘raising the standard’ means, in military terms, going to war. So that, when the devil attacks, then God goes into action and you see miracles, which are the evidence of this. When you don’t see the devil, you don’t see any miracles either. If you sit in comfort with no problems in your life, you won’t need any miracles! Do you want to see miracles? Do you want to live on the edge, in the danger zone and see the God of power in action?
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
The Relationship Between Faith, Trials, and Miracles
Many believers ask how to experience the power of God in their daily lives. The relationship between spiritual warfare and divine intervention is often found in the moments of greatest trial.
1. The Cycle of Glory and Answered Prayer
True prayer is not just a request; it is an act of returning authority to the Creator. When we acknowledge that the Kingdom and Power belong to God by right, we position ourselves to receive.
The Exchange: We present our needs, God provides the answer, and we return the Glory to Him.
Confidence in Faith: Total confidence in receiving a petition often stems from the intent to use the breakthrough as a testimony to God's character.
2. Understanding Isaiah 59:19: The Standard Against the Enemy
The Scripture states: "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises up a standard against him."
In a military context, raising a standard signifies going to war. This reveals a spiritual paradox:
Opposition as a Catalyst: God’s "action" (miracles) is often a direct response to the devil’s "attack."
The Danger Zone: Miracles are rarely found in the "comfort zone." They are manifestations of God’s power designed to overcome "impossible" situations.
3. Why Miracles Require Challenges
If there are no problems, there is no necessity for a supernatural solution. To see the God of power in action, one must often be willing to "live on the edge."
What is impossible for man serves as the canvas for what is possible with God.
