SPIRITUAL ALLY!

Leviticus 26:7-8 TLB

You will chase your enemies; they will die beneath your swords. [8] Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you, ten thousand! You will defeat all of your enemies.

 

An ally is a person or organization that cooperates with or helps another in a particular activity and actively supports the rights of a minority or marginalized group without being a member of it.

It is the unity or connection formed based on a common interest or goal. An alliance is a form of helper, it could be a person or group that aids and supports an ongoing effort, activity, or struggle in politics, medical, emotional, and spiritual settings.

A spiritual ally is someone who supports you in your spiritual journey. This person encourages, guides, and prays with you as you grow in your faith and deepen your relationship with God. A spiritual ally can be a friend, mentor, pastor, or fellow believer who: Listens to your struggles and victories without judgment, offers wisdom and biblical guidance, prays for and with you regularly, encourages you to stay faithful and strong in your walk with God and holds you accountable in love and truth.

We see the first alliance formed in Genesis 14 when the five kings came together to join Chedorlaomer king of Elam in battle.

Everyone needs such connections in life, wherever we find ourselves, there will be a need for someone to ally with us in certain situations as stated in the Message translation of Ecclesiastes 4:12 “By yourself, you're unprotected. With a friend, you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped”.

Absolute truth! It’s not good to be alone, it’s best to have someone who cares for you besides you. We must value the companionship and friendship provided by those around us.

There is value in numbers!

Why choose to struggle to do things that may take you longer to achieve when you can rely on the help of the allies around you?

Having a spiritual ally helps us stay grounded, motivated, and connected in our spiritual life. They walk alongside us, providing support when our faith feels weak and celebrating with us when we experience breakthroughs.

You certainly can chase and defeat your enemies by the mercies of God but if you join hands with people of like mind, it says five of you will chase a hundred enemies and a hundred of you will chase a thousand. More hands make lighter work!

Unfortunately, our alliance must be a Godly, wise, and compassionate connection, as 2 Corinthians 6:14 puts it, we must not partner with the wrong people. We must not ally with the unscrupulous, adulterous, wicked, immoral, and even religious people, we must not as Proverbs 24:21 states, join those who are rebellious.

When we gather in unity to fellowship, no matter the number, our voices and hearts create a force multiplied in hundreds and thousands if we go by our text, because we harness the power in a cooperative agreement to bind, loose and tear down according to Matthew 18:18-19.

The foundation of life and earth is shaken by a spiritual alliance in prayer as happened in Acts 2:1-6, thousands got saved by the spiritual alliance of prayer.

Nehemiah had contentions in rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, but because they had good, resolute, and strong allies in chapter 4, even at great discomfort to them seen in Vs 23 the work of God went on.

God allies and partners with us in everything we do (godly prescribed things), as He did with the tribe of Reuben in 1 Chronicles 5 who were going to war with a much bigger army, verses 18-22 state that they cried to God and He helped them, they defeated their enemies because the battle was God’s.

God wants to ally with you against the enemy, but He wants you to need and cry out to Him. Everyone experiences problems and challenges but according to Psalm 34:15, the Lord’s eye is on the righteous and He hears their cry. Are you the Lorde’s righteous? Have you allied with Him and cried out to Him?

Make godly and wise connections that will provide you with a strong spiritual alliance.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of fellowship and community. I ask that you guide me to the right person to walk with in faith, or help me to be a source of encouragement and strength for someone else. Grant us wisdom, understanding, and a spirit of love as we support one another. May our relationship draw us closer to You and help us grow in grace, faith, and obedience. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
