I will be sharing one principle about understanding your enemy each day out of my present life. Today I want to deal with this thought. "The enemy will underestimate you because he is not aware of your past victories."
Satan is not everywhere at one time (Omnipresent) and he does not know everything (Omniscient). Those are Godly attributes, satan is limited. Goliath had no idea that the 12 year old boy named David had seen past victories. If he had been acquainted with David's victories he might have rethought the battle. Many times the enemy is unaware of what you have been through to get to this point.
You have to remind yourself of what you have been through to this point and the fact that God has been faithful not 90% of the time but all the time. He shows up not realizing that you have already defeated a lion and a bear before you got to him. And the same faith that took down that prior opponent will cause you to take down this opponent and all you have to do is draw from the same well that got you to this point.
You don't need someone to encourage you, you just need to get somewhere and rehearse the fact that if it had not been for the Lord who was on your side, you would be crawled up in a corner somewhere about to lose your mind! Here is what I know!
Revelation 12:11, says we defeat the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony and they...
A testimony is a declaration of what God has already done. In other words they overcame the next obstacle by testifying to themselves of what God had already done. This is what God has already done and that's why this next battle will be no different. This is how you overcome, you testify of Jesus.
Paul said that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Your testimony is a prophecy to your present battle of its demise. Wow! Your last victory prophecies to your giant of his defeat! It is the testimony of Jesus that unlocks prophetic potential on the inside of you that can bring you into your brand new day!
And when the enemy becomes aware of your past victories, he becomes fearful. God will then go before you and demoralize your enemy before the battle is even started.
To be continued...
Blessings,

Craig,
First let me say, anyone who gets mad about what you write on your blogs would be very insecure and need to do more than just click the box at the top right hand corner -- they need counseling and serious professional help.
Second,this is excellent teaching. Thank you for the reminder of this crucial truth.
I believe the Lord is giving you a vast storehouse of wisdom right now, to be released more than just on this blog. This is a word that is going to go forth to the nations. God has put a word in your mouth and no man can silence it.
God is getting ready to bring you into a spacious place, because He delights in you and Tara. This is simply the price paid for that spacious place (anything large costs) and it is going to give you credibility to the many that you will minister to.
I hear the Lord say this -- a sequel of "A Tale of Three Kings" is coming, only from the pen of a different writer -- you. God has put this word in your spirit, in your mouth and it will be released over the sound of many microphones nation and world wide and in printed form. It will speak to the confused hearts of many and set them free so that they can be launched into their own spacious places.
We're with you guys...as always,
Deanna
Dito to everything Pastor Deanna just said. In fact, it is confirmation to the email I sent to you and Tara earlier. Your spacious place is on it's way.... believe in it. That prophetic word was dropped into both of our spirits just for you! We are praying for you guys daily!
Be Blessed,
Shelisa
