In Matthew 22:15 we're told:
Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk.
Exodus 13:3 says:
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are bewildered (or entangeled) by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.'
Psalm 71:11 - tells us what our enemy would say about US....
Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him."
The enemy of our lives would have us to believe that we are enclosed on every side, that we do not have a Deliverer and that God has forsaken us. The devil is a liar, and the father of them. That's all he knows how to do.
We ahve a GREAT and MIGHTY God that has told us that HE'S our DELIVERER, HE'S our REDEEMER. He can bring us out of - and help us to avoid any trap laid by hell.
He KNOWS the cry of our hearts - He has made provision for us in every situation in our lives for all our lives through the finished work of Jesus.
The Lords hand is not short, nor is his ear deaf. He's just waiting for us to cry out to Him. Every day of our lives...but particularly when the enemy attempts to hem us in.
I thank YOU Father, that You HELP US. Help us to look to You, the author and finisher of our faith. Help us to come boldly before the throne of Grace and make petitions before YOU. Thank You that your ear is not deaf NOR is your arm short. You know what we need even before the words leave our lips, and we WILL allow those words to be spoken to You in the Faith we have in Your Word. I praise YOU, Most High, and continue to abide in Your Secret Place and Abide under Your shadow. I AM led by Your Spirit, in Jesus' Name.

Praise God! Amen! Great post, Sharon, and very timely for me right now. Thanks!
Thank God, Marilyn....timely post for ME too. LOL
Throughout the old testament, we witness the kings of Judah and Israel turning their backs on God. As horrible as some of their acts were, when they turned their faces once again toward God, He came to their rescue and embraced them. He desired them to run to Him then, just as He does us now. We, unlike them, have an advocate, Jesus Christ, as our intercessor. No trap of the enemy can hold us if we keep our hearts and faith pure before Him. Praise God!
Yes Renna!
The finished work of Jesus - the defeat of satan and his minions - is what makes us MORE THAN CONQUORERS. Thank God!!!
