Summary

Are you facing tough times? Maybe you're struggling with a difficult financial situation, dealing with a broken relationship, or battling an illness that feels overwhelming. In moments like these, it’s easy to focus solely on your plans—what you need to do next, how you’ll fix the problem, or what you can change. But there’s something we often forget: the enemy also has a plan.

📖 Key Scripture: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." – 1 Peter 5:8

In strategic warfare, we don't just think about our own moves—we anticipate what the enemy might do. The same goes for spiritual battles. While you're planning for a breakthrough in your career, the enemy might be working to plant seeds of doubt and fear. As you’re rebuilding a relationship, the enemy could be whispering lies of insecurity or mistrust. When you’re trying to recover from illness, he might attack your faith, making you question if God is truly with you.

But here’s the truth: God’s strategy is greater than the enemy’s. The enemy may have a plan, but it’s no match for what God has already planned for your life. That’s why you must stay vigilant, pray for God’s will, and shout in faith before the walls come down. Trust that God is working, even when you can’t see it.

🔥 Takeaway: In every tough time, don’t just focus on your own plans—stay aware that the enemy is also strategizing. But know this: God’s plan always prevails. Your victory is already won.

👉 If you're feeling overwhelmed, this message is for you. Press play and be encouraged. #Faith #TrustGod #Victory
