​Delivered From The Enemy | Intimacy With Christ | Richard Wafford

​Daniel 6:21–22: “Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths.”

As a Christian, if the sins of your past do not eat you alive as a newborn believer, the spiritual battles you face as you draw closer to your Lord and Savior will. But the Lord Himself will step in to fight your battles and defeat your foes while you stand back and watch their downfall. Daniel faced an enemy and was thrown into the lion’s den because of jealousy, yet God shut the lions’ mouths.

Psalm 17:12–14, “As a lion is eager to tear his prey, and like a young lion lurking in secret places. Arise, O Lord, confront him, cast him down; Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword, With Your hand from men, O Lord.”

The Lord will always deliver you from the wicked; it’s as simple as asking Him to. It’s so easy anymore to recognize a lion lurking in the tall grasses of life and to immediately say, "Lord, You’re going to have to deal with this lion.” The peace you have knowing that God is more than capable of dealing with anything that comes your way! ~ Richard
