AS I WRITE THIS, we are on Day 2 of our fasting. Let me remind you of what I talked about Sunday night. In order to get to the “afterward,” we’ve got to press through the “during.” While you are fasting and praying, you have to understand that you are walking into the enemy’s camp. I used the Scripture from Mark 3:27 where Jesus talked about the “strong man.” The only was to go into the strong man’s house and spoil the goods is if you have someone else stronger that can bind the strong man. We’re entering the strong man’s house and he will not just allow us to come in and take our stuff back. He is going to put up a fight. My purpose for telling you is not to frighten you. My purpose is to let you know so that you’ll be PREPARED! Recognize it for what it is when it comes. When people you work with get mean, your lost spouse gets mean, your physical health is attacked, don’t have a pity party. Recognize that the strong man is fighting back. But we are not ignorant concerning his devices.
