I love that statement. It shows guts! It says, enough is enough! It states: Enemy, you don't know who you are dealing with! That is not a declaration of a wimp! It is a powerful, yet small, nation of God saying that they will make their enemy beg them to leave them alone! I love it!
As believers, we must acknowledge the complete work of Jesus Christ when He came to earth as a baby in a manger, shed His blood on the cross, defeated the devil and snatched the keys of death, hell, and the grave. Remember that Jesus has been given ALL authority in heaven and earth and that believers have authority to resist, rebuke and withstand the enemy!
The Bible tells us that we struggle not against flesh and blood, but against demonic forces. Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. The enemy of our soul fares far to well - as he plots, plans and promotes our destruction.
Two paragraphs from a study by Bob Deffinbaugh provides vital information.
As Hitler’s appetite for power and territory grew, his army began to march across Europe. In some cases, the fight could hardly be called a battle. The German army advanced, with its tanks and with technologically advanced weapons. In some of the underdeveloped nations, their armies made a futile effort to resist Hitler’s aggression, fighting back with spears and even rocks. It was no contest at all, because these nations were not equipped for the battle.
The same could be said of Satan, and those whom he opposes. Many of his victims do not even know there is a war going on. They make easy prey. Christians should know that we are in the midst of a great spiritual struggle, although many seem not to believe it. And even more distressing is the fact that many who consider themselves “in the war” do not understand the nature of Satan’s schemes, of the weapons which he employs, or of the weapons which God has provided for our defense.
Luke 10:19 Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.
Spiritual warfare is resisting, overcoming and defeating the enemy's lies (in the form of deception, temptations and accusations) that he sends our way.
Yaalon continued:
"Anyone threatening us is risking his life. We will retaliate until they beg us to stop," "They have to realize that the consequences of the rocket fire are not worth it.”
We have a raging enemy and we are sleeping, spiritually. We throw rocks and pebbles made of complaints and criticism - when we should be declaring the Word of God with boldness. By utilizing our authority in Christ, we can bravely shout to the one hurling rockets of abortion, drugs, strife, depression, weariness,and hopeless.... We Will Retaliate Until They Beg Us to Stop.
Take courage: The devil can tolerate only so much Truth. Know that he will flee when resisted!
Instead of falling apart...Instead of wringing your hands...Instead of giving up on your children...Instead of being destroyed over finances...Instead of being an easy prey...
Pick up the Sword of the Spirit and quote it until the enemy begs you to stop!!
Believers, be brave. Put the enemy under your feet! Put your foot on his neck and make him beg!
Arise Church! You are a giant on this earth! Seize the moment! Retaliate in the Spirit Realm with "It is Written"....Make the adversary beg you to S T O P !
