Yahweh our God delivered up all before us\u201d (Deut. 2:36).<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">With a shock, you remember past victories. He has already begun a good work in you. You believed and the Lord delivered. A fresh insight is gained over an earlier victory. You didn\u2019t do it, but the Lord did. You claimed the promise and the Lord followed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">What are the possibilities if we trust the Lord more? What is really off limits in our lives? The lesson to remember here: \u201cthere was not one city too high for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Consider the few changes already made since you believed. He has already succeeded where you had failed. Your faith grows. Just a little. Now you see new possibilities that were previously off limits. If overcoming sin in you is what God wants to accomplish, if this is God\u2019s will, then we should be assured of victory when we let Him continue to work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Wait\u2014isn\u2019t that what prayer is for, to do God\u2019s will? Faith and prayer working together topple the enemy. A sure combination. What if you prayed against every enemy of your soul that the Word of truth unearths in you? What if you partnered with God in prayer? Suppose you took the promise at face value, \u201cFor everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened\u201d?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Can prayer help you believe when your faith fails, when the giants in the land seem too much to bear? The Lord had helped David kill a lion and a bear to protect the flock. So he gained confidence that God would defeat this Goliath who stood against the army of Israel, and God.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Wait\u2014are these stories of the Old Testament meant to build up your flagging faith? Perhaps the Word and prayer go together to supercharge your faith?&nbsp; \u201cIs anything too hard for Me?\u201d God prods. With new-found confidence you pick up a stone and sling\u2014the Word and prayer\u2014and run on the wings of faith into battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFrom Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us.
