Equipped for the Fight - Part I
Psalm 91:15 - He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. (KJV)
Did you know that there are times that you must stay in the fight?Or the GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH? The word "deliver" in Psalm 91:15 means to equip for the fight. God will equip you for the battle. There are situations in your life in which He is simply not going to move you anywhere; He is not going to lift you up and carry you off anywhere; but He is going to give you the equipment to slug it out right where you are and WIN or HEAL. That is why you must get before God to find out how He wants to deliver you in a particular situation. His will is to deliver you. You just need to ascertain from the Spirit how God wants to do it.
Many times we get tired of the people we work with, or tired of the job, or tired of the house we live in, and we get tired of battling ANXIETY/PANIC. Then we make decisions based on what we feel we should do. It very well may be that God wants you to stand right where you are. He wants to equip you to slug it out and win right there. But He will not leave you to do it alone.
He said clearly that He would be with you in trouble. God will be there with supernatural anointing: the anointing that removes whatever is a burden to you, and destroys whatever is a yoke to you. With that you have the ability to stay there and slug it out until the devil high tails it and runs.
A good example of this kind of deliverance is found in Deuteronomy 28. It says your enemies will come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. Picture it. If your enemies are coming against you, and then fleeing in seven different directions, what are you doing? You are standing. Not running, but standing. You're not being removed. You are standing. You are so equipped because you have a covenant with God, and you whipped that situation so bad in the Holy Ghost that the enemy is going in every direction trying to get away from you. That is why you need to find out if this is the time to stay and fight. It is not an anti-Christian act to stay and fight. It depends on what the Lord said to do.
So, find out in your prayer time before God what His direction is for you whenever you face a difficult situation. You can be confident in God that when He says to stay, that means He will equip you with all you need to win the battle. In God, you are the triumphant church. That means that you win every time.

Equipped for the Fight,HEALING,PEACE - Part 2
Psalms 50:15 - And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (KJV)
God has many ways to deliver His children. Sometimes, He will provide divine intervention for an immediate deliverance from danger. Other times, He may simply snatch you out of a situation preventing you from making a big mistake. Then, there are times that you must stay in the fight. But, when that time comes, God is there to equip you to win.
David understood this. Since he had to fight wars all the time, he stopped asking God to take him away from problems. David started asking God to give him the victory in it. His attitude was, "I don't want to go anywhere. I am staying right here where the heat is. And I'm going to win."
Let's win it right here, glory to God. There are situations you face in which you have to be like David. Instead of praying to be removed, ask God how to win. Ask God to show you what to do and what adjustments you need to make. Then stay there until you win. We serve a mighty God, not a weak God. He is mighty to deliver you in anything you face.
In Psalm 140:1, David says, "...deliver me, O Lord..." He is asking God to equip him for the fight. He is not saying, "get me out of here." He is saying, "load me up and give me deliverance..." and he will surely give God glory because of his victory.
In Psalm 50:15, God is saying that He will equip you for battle here on earth and He is going to get glory here, because He is going to cause you to win. Of course, after you win, you and everybody else will be glorifying God. So it is time to stop all the crying and saying, "...well Lord why don't you take me out of this.
The Bible says you are the salt of the earth. You are supposed to rub off on them who need preservation. They need you because they do not have any salt. If God moves you, there will be nothing left but destruction. That is why He put you there. He said that He would be with you in trouble. While He is with you, He has provided for you the wherewithal to win. Pick up your armor. Use the Word of God as your double-edged sword, in the Name of Jesus. Use the blood that Jesus shed for you and win, because you are a winner and HEALED in Jesus, the Anointed One.
