STOP ASKING PERMISSION

Today's reading: Numbers 21-24

"The Israelites now sent ambassadors to King Sihon of the Amorites with this message: Let us travel through your land...But King Sihon refused to let them cross his land..." Numbers 21:21-23 NLT

I'm scratching my head here.

Over two millions Israelites--and they are asking permission?

Was it a courtesy? Good manners? A polite way of doing business?

I'm afraid too many of us Christians today have taken after the Israelites in that manner.

We ask Satan to leave us alone.

We request that he 'get behind us'.

We get up of the morning seeking ways to 'go around him' so he won't bother us.

We are bigger than he is!

We are stronger than he is!

We are greater in power than He is!

All because we are God's!

Stop using your proper etiquette with the enemy--rebuke him in the name of the Lord!
