God said to Joshua, 'Point your spear towards Ai, for I will give you the city' (Joshua 8:18). It's amazing how bold you become when you know your back’s covered! When God's behind you, 'no weapon forged against you will prevail' (Isaiah 54:17). Remember as a child how secure you felt in a fight, knowing your big brother or sister was behind you? The problem is that we say all sorts of things without first checking to find out if God's behind us. When Satan says, 'Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?' (Acts 19:15), you'd better be sure of two things: (1) that you're in right standing with God (2) that it's His fight as well as yours! Jesus said, '...whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven' (Matthew 18:18). There must be agreement between both realms. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, '...Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven' (Matthew 6:10), because if it's not happening where He is, it won't be happening where you are either! As 'labourers together with God', we need to fight only what He fights. You don't want to move anything He doesn't want moved, or raise anybody from the dead except the Lazarus He calls forth. You want to do on earth only what He's already declared to be His will in heaven. That way you know your back's covered!
