"When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him". (Isa 59:19).
One marvellous ministry of the glorious Holy Spirit is stated here. When the enemy comes to attack like a flood, in multitudes, it is normal for one to reinforce one's own army to confront the enemy forces. It would be ridiculous to raise the standard (flag) then.
The flag is normally hoisted only after the victory. But spiritually, if the Holy Spirit is rulling and reigning in our lives, we do not have to fight when the devil's forces come against us, for, the battle belongs to the Lord who is enthroned in our hearts.
Let us join the Lord in raising the flag against the enemy by standing firm in faith. If God be for us, who can be against us? Just as the people of Israel shouted praises of victory before the wall of Jericho fell down, we can, through faith, shout praises even before we see the victory.
The devil is not almighty, but our God is.
Let us live in the power of the spirit so that the banner of victory may be raised when the enemy comes like a flood.
