   Pray, My child, without ceasing; stand firm in resisting the enemy. Receive the full victory that is yours by praying with persistence, for while I purchased it for you in My flesh, you must receive it from Me by My Spirit.
   When you pray, I hear. And because I hear, My love guarantees an answer. But you must not doubt, for that is the enemy's goal. He cannot prevent My answer, but if he can make you doubt that I have heard and answered, you may give up, turn away, and quit praying.
   Look into the world of the spirit with My eyes, My wavering one. See the agents of the enemy which have been given assignments against you. Watch My anger burst forth and defeat the evil that attacks you, soundly and fully vanquishing each that touches My beloved, bringing you respite. But do not look away – for another minion has been sent to continue the attack.
   If you do not understand this, you may think you have “lost” the victory, that you were too “weak” to walk in the spirit, that “hidden” sin in your life is separating you from Me.
   Do not give up! Do not quit! Do not lay down your sword and shield! Stand against each attack and watch My power vanquish each foe. Remember that the enemy comes in as a flood, and he will send as many underlings to certain defeat as it takes to make you waver in your faith.
   Whatever the attack, it will not overwhelm you. Just as I have no limit to My grace, and endless abundance of compassion for all your needs, so also My arm will not grow weary, nor shall My will ever fail. I am the Captain of the army of the Lord, and I have personally overcome the wickedness of evil that strives against Me.
   Call upon Me as often as needed, speak in My name at every attack, stand on My promise in each situation, for I will always be victorious, time and time again, until the waves of attacks end.
   Remember that I was accosted by Satan more than once, but he eventually departed for a season; so must the repeated attacks which tempt you to give in eventually end as you endure in My name, lifting Me up, and celebrate each victory.

May you love the Lord and call upon Him for as long as you live, for He has turned His ear to you and hears your voice when you cry for mercy. Psalm 116

When you are overcome by trouble and sorrow, tangled in the cords of death and the anguish of the grave, may you call on the name of Lord to save you. Psalm 116
