THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU CRY TO THE LORD

Read Psalm 56

Psalms 56:9, KJV

"When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me."

It is because you have not cried. Don't argue with God or regard His servant a liar. I say once more, "the reason for your smallness and continuity in this negative cycle is because of one thing and that is 'your having not cried to God.' You have to scare your enemy. You have to roar and until then, they won't be terrified and destabilized. Until you show your determination for change by crying, don't expect a new beginning. You must know action births reaction. Today's word from God says, "when you cry unto God, then will your enemies turn back." It stands to reason if you don't cry to the Lord, your enemies will keep pursuing. They will keep harassing, seeking your downfall etc. However, if your enemies could be so relaxed as to make the mistake of giving you the opportunity to cry to God in prayer, I don't care how much they are, they'll all flee. If they're witches, they'll stop working on your cases. If they're spirits, they'll immediately cease. That's what you reap when you CRY unto the Lord. Even if your enemy is a president of a nation, he must turn back. He must turn back doesn't mean he'll die. It means he'll give up on you. Who are those that needs to give up on you? I say, "give up today!" God with you or God that is called into your matter or called to take over your matter is what the enemy detests and can't withstand. That's the key to winning. Don't fight in your strength or wisdom. Call unto God. His presence can't be refuted but yours can still be taken for granted and debated. 

Look, there's a change of season in the spirit. In this season, God is making your winning over your enemy (devil, your arch enemy and his cohorts) and any stubborn human being that has vowed to see to your end easier by leaning what you'll do to just one thing. Now, what's that thing? Just to cry unto Him. You must know where your deliverance will come from. It is by crying to God. It is from Him. When the Bible says when you cry to the Lord, your enemies shall turn back, the imagery being painted is that of two armies fighting in battle. When one is stronger for the other to handle, what happens to that weak one? It runs. It turns its back (change position from fighting its opponent face to face) to fleeing. There and then, they'll throw down their weapons of war, do away with encumbrances and flee as much as possible for escape. This is where as much as my legs could carry me is implemented. They won't even look back because the terror of you will be on them really well. The only thought in their mind would be safety - to the hills, to the caves, to the rocks, to the holes. Crying to God literally has to do with praying but it means fervent prayer. It is a hot boiling prayer. A prayer birthed from the revelation of, "you've done enough. I also want rest and want to be in full possession and control of what is mine." That's the kind that can turn anything. 

James 5:16-17, KJV

"...The EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER of a righteous man AVAILETH MUCH.  5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he PRAYED EARNESTLY that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months."

Mind you, it is "when I CRY unto the Lord and not when I PRAY unto the Lord." "Crying" to the Lord is also praying to the Lord but crying to the Lord is much more with zeal, demand for change, focus, faith and a laying hold for a turn around. Here, you know why you're praying and that reason is propelling you to pray really hard. Here, they don't need to dictate prayer points to you before you bend the knee. Realization of the fact that your enemies must turn their back is enough. Your goal is to stop all the men or spirits at work in your life and put the stop sign to their faces. Road closed! Door slammed! Entry blocked. Symbolically and generally, "crying or praying" there means taking the needed action where it's needed. When you cry to the Lord, your enemy will turn their back and flee. When you study, you'll pass as well. When you apply labour and hard work, you'll come back with profit as well because in all labour, there's profit. Did you see how God has made simple how He'll make you victorious easy to do? Just do an act and reap the consequential outcome. It is those that cries that will turn their enemies away. Those that keep quiet can't have that result. That is why, you must pray differently this morning. Where, what or whom do you need to cry to God for? Raise prayers as inspired and triggered by this teaching and the Holy Spirit and see the result. I hear, "the result will be immediate." 

PRAYER: [Cry to the Lord in prayer that your enemy turns back].

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Haggai 1:1-2:23, Revelation 11:1-19, Psalm 139:1-24, Proverbs 30:15-16
