READ: Lamentations 1:1-7
Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, WHEN HER PEOPLE FELL INTO THE HAND OF THE ENEMY, AND NONE DID HELP HER: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
Lamentations 1:7
God is looking for someone who will help those who have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Many people have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Perhaps, through some unfortunate circumstances, a child of God has fallen into the hands of the enemy. The enemy would like to kill the child of God. The enemy will never let the child of God go free. When people fall into the hands of the enemy, they are in the hands of a strong man. “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils” (Luke 11:21-22).
The strong man is the enemy of God. He has captured the people and God is sending you to deliver the people from captivity. You are the one who is stronger than he. God declares you to be stronger than satan! You are anointed to deliver people from the enemy. “No man can enter into a strong man’s house and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man and then he will spoil his house” (Mark 3:27).
“Lord, I know You need somebody to deliver Your people who have fallen into the hands of the enemy and are being guarded in the enemy’s palace.”
