Chapter Four

Never Let Them See You Sweat

he devil is on the limits of retardation! He is so Tspiritually dead that he can only work in the realm of the flesh. His aim is to bind you with fear and keep you sweating with worry all the days of your life.

That's why the devil tries to get you to believe his lies instead of the Word of God. His tactics are old and weak, but your weapons are mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds. All you have to do is put on the armor of God, stand on the Word and never let him see you sweat.

I love to surprise the devil and mess up his plans for my defeat. I can't help it, I'm possessed! I am possessed with a Holy Spirit, so powerful that it keeps me at peace in the midst of strong opposition.

Jonathan, son of King Saul, was the same way.

He was possessed to wage war on the enemies of God.

He didn't care how many were against him or how invincible the enemy appeared to be. He was a man who was totally possessed with victory at any cost.

First Samuel chapter 13 tells us how the army of Israel was greatly outnumbered by the Philistines which were camped at Michmash. The Hebrews were so terrified that they were literally trembling in fear as they scattered in every direction from the army of the Philistines, and hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in cliffs, in cellars and in pits. (Verse 6.) And then 1 Samuel 14:6,7 says, Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few.

And his armour-bearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

Jonathan was possessed with the idea of attacking the Philistines. It didn't make a lick of difference how many were against him or how difficult the path, he never let them see him sweat. He had hope, faith, inspiration and daring effort as he climbed over sharp rocks to the garrison of the Philistines.

When they saw Jonathan and his armor-bearer, they said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armour-bearer, Come up after me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour-bearer slew after him.
