He won’t let enemies succeed against you. Your greatest enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy.

When you are under the curse, you run from your enemies, but under THE BLESSING, they run from you.” You may not see it firsthand, but you can count on Him to carry out what He has promised. They will come against you one way but flee before you seven ways. This is THE BLESSING this belongs to you. Gloria Copeland says, “The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face. Under THE BLESSING, God has promised to deal with our enemies. Romans 12:19 says, “Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord” (ESV). It’s good to want justice in the world, but when you try to get it for yourself, you’ve put yourself in His place. He is the God of justice, and He loves justice.

He will bring everything hidden into the light. Enemies can be sneaky.

The next thing we know, it’s consuming all our thoughts and causing us torment. We can even find ourselves distressed as we try to figure out why they are against us in the first place.

Our natural response to enemies is often to fight back, get even, put them in their place, or demand justice. Enemies are something each of us has to deal with in this life, and they can try us in every possible way. People speak against you for no reason, betray you, or try to keep you from success. “I have many aggressive enemies they hate me without reason. They repay me evil for good and oppose me” (Psalm 38:19-20).
