Isaiah 49:24-26
Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives rescued from the fierce ? But this is what the LORD says: "Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
God's enemy nations like Pharoah's always thought that they were invincible. More often, they were proven wrong. If you were to look at that verse carefully, "all mankind" need to know something. That "something" is that, there is a righteous, just and all powerful God above everyone on Earth. All authority belongs to Him. He has the authority to forgive, make things a new and He does this by the power of His Spirit on Earth. If you do not know and understand this truth, then He would need to show it to you practically that He does, just as in the case above. Many of us would think that this passage of scripture applies to the ancient world but if it applies to the ancient world, why are we still behaving ignorant as the ancient world? Why do we not know that the Devil and the demons are long time enemies of God.
God will do the fighting for us. He will show how fierce He is too when the right time comes. He will take the plunder held by the wicked warriors as in Isaiah's times. God will take it away from them. The Devil is still holding on to what rightfully belongs to God's children in Christ. The sinful nature of the Devil in you must be defeated at all costs, only then there will be Christformation in you.
