Battles Lost And Won

                                        Jeremiah 4:1
                         "If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith
                                 the Lord, return unto me"

         The battle is won or lost in the secret places of the will before God. The Spirit of God apprehends us and we are obliged to get alone with God and fight the battle out before Him.  Until this is done, We lose every time.  The battle may take a minute, a day, or a year, that will depend on us, not God; but it must be wrestled out alone before God.  Nothing has any power over the man who has fought out the battle before God and won there.
         If we say, "I will wait till I get into the circumstances and than put God to the test,"  we will find we cannot.  We must get the thing settled between ourselves and God in the secret places of our soul where no stranger meddles, and then we can go forth with the certainty that the battle is won.  Lose the battle there, and calamity and disaster and upset are as sure as God's decree.  The reason the battle is not one is because we try to win it in the natural realm first.  Get alone with God, fight it out before Him, settle the matter there once and for all.  Amen!!
