"When the sun was setting, a deep sleep overcame Abram, and a horror (a terror, a shuddering fear) of great darkness assailed and oppressed him." Gen 15:12 God's Word tells us that there is a war going on all around us in the spiritual realm. If you are not a believer..the war is for your soul. If you are a believer the war is an effort to detain you from doing work for God's Kingdom. For the believer this darkness could come in the form of an oppression. If you read the scripture above you will note that an oppression fell over Abram. The scripture also reminds us to be "ready" for these attacks...to begin each day with the "armour of God". Are you ready for this fight today? The question is not "if" it is "when" will the attack come. I can tell you that the "oppression" of fear in my life has been and is many times STILL very real and causes me to "shudder"! I'm sure this post is not one that you will read as uplifting...but God asked us to be bold. Get your armour on my friend...the battle is raging! Claim the victory of Christ over Satan and put on your full armour every new morning! Cover yourself with His Word and fight the fight with boldness! When you come against the enemy with faith...the "shuddering" will cease! Praise God!!
