I have no military background. But with the little knowledge I have, I know there different divisions and weapons. Some constitute ground arsenal, others are airborne, naval and special divisions. I am thinking of the Navy SEALS in US, MI5 here etc. All serve a very special purpose.
Similarly many countries host shows to display their military capability to others. They show off their most sophisticated tanks, ballistic missiles, jets and other ordinary weaponry
After my family went through a difficult time, recently the Lord inspired me to start bible study sessions for my family on a regular basis. We read scripture, explained what we thought it meant to one another and then prayed together.
Apparently we began to see remarkable change over the issues we were facing.
On the very first day, our scripture reading was Leviticus 26: 8 which says “And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.”
We decided to be very practical and how revealing it was when somebody decided to take the mathematical approach!
They said if we divide 100 people by 5, it means each person in the minority group will chase 20. They then said, suppose an enemy has joined forces with others and they become a large force of 50 trouble makers to fight against 1 member of the minority group of 5 people who can chase 20 people individually, it means these 50 people can easily overcome that 1 person. However when this 1 person is joined by 4 others in prayer, God supernaturally empowers the group to outnumber the enemy 100 to 50!
Similarly when the minority group increases from 5 to 100, the bible says they will chase 10,000. That means each person is now supernaturally empowered to chase 1,000 people through the power of association.
We therefore concluded that if we take God’s word above literally and faithfully, we can overcome the giants in our lives through prayer of agreement.
Spiritually, the prayer of agreement by many believers is akin to the Navy SEALS, the long range ballistic missiles, the fighter bombers, etc.
Friends we need to be wise and well equipped if we are to win the battle with our adversary Satan
