Jehovah the Man of war fights for and heals nations
that obey and honor Him. One of the ways God demonstrates His power is by
taking over the battles of His children and fighting the enemy in His own way
and power in order to give victory to His children. That is why the Bible
refers to Him as Jehovah the Man of war. The Bible is replete with accounts of
how God took over battles from His children and demonstrated His awesome power
to the enemies of His people. Please see Exodus Chapters 14 to 15 for what
happened to Pharaoh and his choice chariots at the crossing of the red sea.
Pharaoh, the finest crop of his army alongside their chariots were drowned in
the red sea by God. In verses 14 to 28 of Exodus Chapter 14, the Egyptians
acknowledged that God was fighting for the Israelites against the Egyptians.
The Bible also records in those verses that God took off the wheels of that
chariots so that the soldiers drove the chariots with difficulty. And because
they drove with difficulty, they lacked speed and could not flee before the
waters of the sea returned to their full depth It is significant to note that
every time God fights for His people, it is total elimination of the enemy, his
power base and everything the enemy boasts about.
Another way God fights for His children is to forgive
their sins so that the enemy has no legal ground over the children of God. Please
see 1st John Chapter 1 verses 7 to 10. God also fights for His
children by chastening them. Please see Hebrews Chapter 12 verses 5 to 13 and
Proverbs Chapter 3 verses 11 to 12.
Yet another way is by removing the scales of ignorance
and satanic blindness. Please see 2nd Corinthians Chapters 3 verses
14 to 17, 4 verses 3 to 4, and Acts Chapters 13 verses 6 to 12 and 8 verses 29
to 39.
God also fights for His children by cancelling and
nullifying every accusation of the devil and his cohorts against the children
of God with the blood of Jesus Christ and His word. Please see Zechariah
Chapter 3 verses 1 to 10 where He rebuked the devil for trying to hinder Joshua
the then high Priest of Israel. Please see also Revelation Chapter 12 verses 10
to 11, Jude 9, John Chapter 8 verses 3 to 11, Isaiah Chapters 54 verses 14 to
17, 8 verses 9 to 10.
