The Unseen Battle

There is an unseen battle going on in a realm that we don’t even understand.

We don’t see it.

We don’t feel it.

But there is a spiritual war in other dimensions between good and evil, between God and Satan, between angels and demons.

And the fact is, you’re caught right in the middle. If you’re a child of God, Satan hates you. And he wants to mess you up.

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

When you send up a prayer, there’s often a battle over how it’s going to be answered. While you’re in the waiting room, Satan starts throwing darts at you

The Battle Is Real!!!!!!

The dart of doubt, the dart of discouragement, the dart of disappointment, the dart of delay, the dart of depression.

The Bible says to be aware that he’s going to try to get you down.

The truth is, the Bible doesn’t tell us much about the spiritual warfare that’s going on behind your prayers.

But we do get a glimpse of it in the book of Daniel.

Daniel had a vision of an angel, who said, (Daniel 10:12-13).

“Daniel, don’t be afraid. God has heard your prayers ever since the first day you decided to humble yourself in order to gain understanding.

I have come in answer to your prayer.

The [evil] angel prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief angels, came to help me, because I had been left there alone in Persia”

Are those the wildest verses you’ve ever seen? It says

That Daniel had a prayer that wasn’t answered for a while, and he was starting to get discouraged.

The angel showed up and said, “I’m here to give you the answer.

We heard it from day one, but we’ve been in a battle over this, and it was such an intense battle that Michael the archangel had to come down and help me with this battle so I could come and tell you that the answer is on its way.”

The same thing is sometimes happening when you are waiting on your answer from God. You can’t know what kind of intense battle is going on over your prayer, but you can remember this: A delay is not a denial. 

When an answer to prayer is delayed, it doesn’t mean it’s not going to be answered. It just means God is fighting for you.

Don’t be discouraged. Keep praying!
