Bless Francis Myles for God revealing restraining orders to him. There is a defensive aspect to restraints. It gives the believer protection, and the concept of restraints protects our authority. 

At some point, most people ask themselves why there was a tree in the garden that God had forbidden. God’s restraint allows us to have authority in the earth when we honor it with our obedience. For years we studied this concept in the form of forbidden areas but found it much more understandable when it is as simple as “restraints give us protection!”

Are you reviling the enemy or taking authority over the enemy? They are two very different things. One is done out of the flesh and one is done with the power of God’s Spirit. 

Does God defend the promise He speaks over our lives? Does God ensure what He speaks comes about regardless of what the enemy does? Can God's Word be twisted or invalidated even? There is a part we play in hearing and protecting the Word of God.  

The blessing of the fear of the Lord: fear of the Lord creates a boundary between those who belong to the Lord and the wicked. God's presence is love to those that love Him but terror to those who are His enemies. Download fear of the Lord Scriptures at www.crosslines.net

The story of George Washington having the resolve to face impossible odds as America was being founded. 

The story of George Washington and his troops facing impossible odds in the dead of winter.

The lessons the Lord teaches you when a witch is trying to make your life considerably shorter.

We want God to speak to us, but it is easy to move or be pressured into making decisions before He speaks. How many of us are willing to struggle and contend until we hear from God? Do we truly value what He has to say above all other voices in our lives?
