TOPIC: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 1 July 2023)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 66, Psalms 67, Psalms 68, 2 Corinthians 4, 2 Corinthians 5
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 18:1-19 (KJV)
1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
MEMORY VERSE: “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” – Psalms 18:2

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
The world is used to interpreting a fortress as a place or building of exceptional security, but in God’s Kingdom, a fortress is not just a thing, it is a Person. Every time God is referred to as a fortress in the Bible, these words commonly appear: refuge, rock, strength and trust. In God, we have a well-protected refuge that is difficult for enemies to invade. In God, we find strength for defence and victory. In God, we can put our trust and have nothing to fear or worry about. In God, we are fortified.
So what issues are confronting you? What enemies are hindering your progress? It doesn’t matter how many they are. It doesn’t matter how strong they claim to be. It doesn’t matter it your family and friends have abandoned you. As long as you have God, there is hope for victory. Having challenges doesn’t make you abnormal. Jesus says we shall have tribulations in the world, but we should be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world (John 16:33), and handed over the victory to us. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Is the enemy pursuing you? Are your enemies wicked and unrepentant? Run to Jesus. Make Him your fortress and strong tower. Beloved, whatever your problems may be, take them to God in prayer; He is your mighty fortress; rejoice and trust that no enemy can have the final say over your life. You are more than a conqueror!

EVENING
- The Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one. Therefore, my persecutors shall stumble and not prevail, in the name of Jesus.

- I decree everlasting confusion in the camp of my enemies, in the name of Jesus.
- Only God’s counsel concerning my life shall stand, in the name of Jesus.
