Devotional:
God will always reveal your enemies. Not just because He wants you to know who was against you, but who really has been against Him. Maybe these people (insecurities) smile in your face but throw knives in your back and you don't even know. Maybe you've removed these people from your life but don't understand why. Today, you'll learn God's sole purpose for why He reveals your enemies.
In our scripture meditation below, there were people that stood firm against Jeremiah and his prophecies. They went as far as threatening him to not prophesy in the name of the Lord. They were doing this as a scare tactic to somehow convince Jeremiah he heard wrong and to stop doing the Lord's work. As you can see, Jeremiah knew nothing about this plot, but GOD did.
So why did God reveal Jeremiah's enemies? God was preparing to attack them. So what does that mean for you? When God begins revealing your enemies, that's because your elevation is near. There can't be an elevation without any opposition. But before God smites your enemies, He reveals them to show how He has been protecting you and will vindicate you.
You shall be above the reproach of your enemies!
Scripture(s) Meditation:
“Now the Lord gave me knowledge of it, and I know it; for You showed me their doings. But I was like a docile lamb brought to the slaughter; and I did not know that they had devised schemes against me, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered no more.” But, O Lord of hosts, You who judge righteously, Testing the mind and the heart, Let me see Your vengeance on them, For to You I have revealed my cause.”
Jeremiah 11:18-20 NKJV

The people I was removed from weren’t necessarily enemies, but they didn’t have my best interest at heart. I thought I had a “friend” at my last job (my manager), however I found out real quick where their loyalties were. I had a situation happen on the job that triggered my anxiety and instead of trying to accommodate, they just called it “Aly’s incident” and brushed it aside. My promotion/elevation was when I found another job at the place I wanted to be at, but not everyone at my last job was happy for me. I could feel tension everyday when I clocked in and out of work and no one said NOTHING to me. They didn’t even throw me…
Halleluyah! All praises to The Most High! I needed to hear this today. He has removed so many people and still is. I'm just amazed at disappointed at the same time because these were people I trusted. I have gone above and beyond for them but they seeked to destroy me and wanted me dead. He has been revealing these snakes who I'm not even close to plots on my life. He has done it through dreams and speaking directly to me. I been feeling like they winning but I know they time is coming. It's hard to stay strong and not grow weary but I know I'm right at the door of my breakthrough and so are you. I…
Crazy thing is, I started getting things revealed to me before I knew God was communicating to me so I overlooked who my enemy is. I still think about the dream he showed me. I allowed this person to move in with me and from then on things have been going down hill. I see more and more of this persons true colors everyday and been praying for God to make a way for me to get away from this person. Its sad when people don’t know they’re being used by the enemy. I can’t even hear from God as I use to for numerous of reasons. Im disappointed in myself because I feel I’m stuck in this hole but…
