During the reign of Ahab, the husband of Jezebel, the Lord decided to give victory to Israel, the ten tribes, not Judah, in a battle against Ben-Hadad of Aram.
“But Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him…” — 1 Kings 20:1.
It was not just Ben-Hadad. He came with 32 kings. That is a council of kings. It shows us something important. There are times when the assault against a believer is not from a single spirit. There are times it is from a coalition.
If you think it is one source of opposition when it is actually many, you will fight wrongly. You will prepare wrongly. You will engage wrongly. You are not meant to push back against one enemy the same way you push back against thirty-three. If they are kings, they have armies.
As much as we read Scripture, we must remember that we do not wrestle flesh and blood. We are not wrestling Ben-Hadad and 32 kings. We wrestle princes, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, ruling spirits that command demons. They gather and plan in the same way.
You are a city on a hill. You are a source of offense in the spirit. There are coordinated attempts to take parts of your life—your marriage, your children, your peace, your patience, your humility, your purity, your finances, your health, your growth in the fruit of the Spirit.
For example, they do not want you patient. They do not want you humble. They will engineer circumstances to shorten your fuse, to harden your heart, to make you say, “In this life, watch out for yourself.” And if you do not discern that it is coordinated, you may respond casually to something that is strategic.
The reality is this: we are at war. And if you are going to win with God, you must first understand what you are up against.
