What Satan Fears Most
What Satan fears most
Is a man on his knees;
Not vast marching armies
With
great weaponry.
He knows he can stand
Against the power of men;
To engage us in battle
Is
mere sport to him.
But a man on his knees
With his head bowed in prayer
Is something quite different
To
the prince of the air.
For when he sees us in prayer
To our God most high,
He knows we have seen
Through his devilish lies.
That's why Satan fears most
A man on his knees;
And we'll keep him trembling
If
our prayers never cease.

Pray without ceasing. (II Thessalonians 5:17)
We need to realize that there is a war constantly going on
in the spiritual realm. The devil does not want you happy,
blessed and rejoicing in the Lord, but rather depressed, in
debt and blaming God for all the wrong that is going on in
your life. The story in Daniel chapter 10 is evidence of
this because as Daniel fasted and prayed for his answer, God
heard him and sent an angel to deliver the message, but an
evil spirit fought with the angel for 21 days postponing the
answer from coming to Daniel. (Daniel 10:2-14) The good news
is that God's angel won over the evil spirit and they will
win for you as well.
The enemy will try anything he can to separate you from
having a relationship with the Lord and he is very
successful at bringing problems our way in order to keep our
mind on anything and everything except God. That is why it
is all the more important that we have a strong and
committed prayer life. If the devil constantly sees you in
prayer and always asking guidance and wisdom from the Lord
to help in your situation, then the enemy knows his power
has become ineffective against your life.
Maybe you are having problems within your family, marriage
or at your job. You need to recognize that is the enemy
trying to get in and destroy what you have and just as you
would fight to get a burglar out of your home, you need to
fight that spiritual war by praying, fasting, speaking forth
the scriptures of authority and rebuking the enemy in the
name of Jesus Christ. Jesus says in John 10:10 "The thief
cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I
am come that they might have life, and that they might have
it more abundantly."
I encourage you to not sit idly by and let the enemy win,
but rather stand strong and take back what the enemy stole
in the name of Jesus Christ, in whom has all power and
dominion, forever and ever, Amen.
