We have danced to the song, “Satan’s Under My Feet.” We have sung the songs, “I’m A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord,” and “Satan We Declare War.” We have even triumphed over the small trials and obstacles in our life. So now what? Are we so strong that we can take it easy, and let our hair down? Do we lighten up on our praise, and take in some worldly literature and music that does absolutely nothing to build us up in God’s ways?

Well, if you have purposed in your heart that you will live or die for the Jesus Christ, and have done the above, you may be in for a reality check. Don’t you know that satan is just waiting for one little opening in which you take your mind away from God and then WHAM! He hits you with a hard blow that makes you want to pray for death. Do you still want to be God’s warrior? Do you still want to serve him? Do you still want to live or die for him? Prayerfully, YES!

We are in the last times and we can not lose our focus for one moment lest we be defeated. I’m not talking about the war, for the war is already won, but we can lose little battles in the war if we do not watch our position.

Recently I had a blast that hit me hard like a kitchen sink, but thank God for his love, grace and mercy. It seemed as though I walked right into the landmine, but like Daniel in the Lion’s Den, God shielded me from the mouth of the devourer and kept me in perfect peace.

In the blink of an eye, I found myself standing before the judge of man; he believed that he held my fate, yet I knew the power belonged to God. It was a situation that could have been avoided had I not ignored the voice of God that said, “Stand still; let me handle this.” Instead, I let my flesh do the walking right into a trap, and only Jesus kept me from going under. All this happened because I purposed in my heart that for God I will live and for God I will die. I put my life in God’s hands and said, “Use me for your service; here am I Lord.”

Well, praise be to God that “He that abideth in the secret place of the most high shall abide in the shadows of the almighty” (Psalms 91). Before the clock struck midnight God’s love and grace vindicated me, and I emerged without smoke on my clothes, and with a mighty testimony!

So warrior, when satan pulls the ground from under your feet, will you continue to stand on God, His word and His promises and be a WARRIOR still?
