Topic: Exposing The Trap of The Enemy

Text: Psalm 91:3

" Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the
fowler… "

During Jesus’ ministry, the Pharisees and
religious leaders of the day tried many times to trap Him. Mark 14:1 (AMP) says they were using secrecy and deceit to trap him. Yet their repeated attempts to take Him out always failed.
Every attempt was somehow either thwarted or
exposed. Why? It’s because there was an
anointing upon Jesus, making them unable to
touch Him even when Jesus was plainly within
reach. He either knew their intentions or
supernaturally escaped their traps. It wasn’t until
Jesus gave Himself into their hands to be
crucified that they were able to lay hold of Him.
As heirs of Christ, we also need to know that the
Lord is delivering us from the traps of the
enemy. Instead of falling into the subtle traps of
deception, sins, false doctrine, and offenses, the
anointing causes us to see them in advance and
avoid them (see 1 John 2:26-27). The Lord can
show you when a trap has been set for you if you
are willing and open in your heart to the Holy
Spirit. We also need faith to believe that we will
supernaturally avoid and overcome the traps we
don’t see. Trust the Lord today that every trap of
the enemy laid in your path
will be exposed!

PRAYER
Father, I thank You that I am delivered from every
trap of evil set against me. I ask that You would
cause me to see and avoid these traps. I also ask
You to place an anointing upon me that shall
deliver me from every snare. In the Name of
Jesus, amen!
