Good Morning Sunshine! Keep Digging Through the Pressure and the Battle, For You Will Have The Victory!

2 Kings 3:19 (KJV) ~ “And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.”

Today meets you in a place where you as a believer avoid discussing, the place where you must dig while you are under spiritual, emotional, or relational attack. The kings in 2 Kings 3 were not only battling dryness as they were preparing for actual warfare. The Moabites were a real enemy with real strategies, real weapons, and real intent. And God’s instructions through Elisha revealed a profound truth, sometimes the act of digging is not just preparation for blessing, it is preparation for war.

This verse shows you that God was not only planning to send water, but He was planning to send victory. He spoke clearly, “Ye shall smite every fenced city.” Meaning, your obedience to dig will become the foundation of your triumph. This teaches you that spiritual warfare doesn’t begin when the enemy attacks, it begins when you obey God. The attack does not stop the digging; the digging is what prepares you to win the attack. The enemy often strikes hardest when you are in transition, between dryness and water, between instruction and fulfillment, between obedience and manifestation. This is because the valley you are digging in is the same valley God will use to defeat your enemy. The Moabites expected the kings to die of thirst, but God turned the valley into their strategy. What the enemy used as a trap, God used as a triumph. This valley will not kill you; it will give you the advantage.

Elisha’s instructions were all about obedience and that is not just spiritual, but it was strategic. God tells them what to tear down, what to protect, what to uproot, and what to cause to fall. This means, while you’re digging for what God will send, He is also preparing you to confront what the enemy has sent. Warfare and worship often happen side by side. Digging and discerning happen simultaneously. Obedience and observation work together. The water that God promised wasn’t just for refreshing the kings and their soldiers, it was for confusing and defeating their enemies. Later in the chapter, the Moabites would see the water as blood and misinterpret the situation, running straight into defeat. That means the very thing God fills will become the thing that protects you. Your obedience becomes your weapon. When you dig while under attack, you create spaces for God to move in ways the enemy cannot anticipate.

When you feel under attack, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, or financially, your first instinct may be to freeze. But it is to teach you that your movement is your warfare, and your obedience is your resistance. Your digging is your declaration that the enemy cannot stop what God has spoken. You dig because the attack is not an indicator of defeat, but it is an indicator of destiny. Remember, the enemy attacks because you are close to something. Close to water. Close to breakthrough. Close to victory. The kings were attacked after they obeyed, not before. If the attack increases, it means your obedience is working. If the warfare intensified, it means the valley is shifting. If the enemy is rattled, it means your digging is effective.

God promised victory while they were still digging. He promised triumph before the first drop of water. He declared defeat over their enemies before their enemies even arrived. This is the power of prophetic obedience; God speaks the outcome in the middle of the process. And when God says victory is coming, the attack cannot override the assignment. So today, if you feel under attack, just keep pressing. Dig deeper! Stand firmer! Lean harder! God is not just sending water; He is sending victory your way. The enemy will not win this war. The attack will not stop your assignment. You are digging in a valley that God will turn into your testimony. Keep digging, the attack is a sign that breakthrough is close.

Let’s Pray:

Father, today I come to You with every battle I am facing. I bring You the pressure, the fear, the confusion, and the weight of every attack that has tried to silence my obedience. I surrender all of it at Your feet and choose to trust that You are my shield, my strength, and my strong tower. Lord, teach me to dig even when I’m under attack. Give me the courage to obey while arrows are flying. Give me the strength to stand firm when the enemy tries to intimidate me. Let my obedience become a declaration that the enemy has no authority over what You have spoken concerning my life. Father, protect my mind from the warfare that tries to create doubt. Protect my heart from discouragement that tries to drain my faith. Protect my spirit from the heaviness that attempts to steal my expectations. Let Your word be my weapon and Your presence be my refuge. Father, thank You that the valley where I dig is also the valley where You will cause my enemies to fall. Thank You that my obedience creates terrain the enemy cannot maneuver. Thank You that every ditch dug in faith becomes a place You fill with strategies, strength, and supernatural support. Father, help me recognize that the attack is not a sign of Your absence but a sign of my advancement. Strengthen me to see that the enemy would not fight me this hard if nothing were shifting. Let me interpret warfare through the lens of victory, not defeat. Father, sharpen my discernment as I dig. Let me recognize the enemy’s tactics and walk in wisdom, authority, and divine insight. Give me clarity to see what to uproot, what to protect, and what to tear down according to Your instruction. Father, let the water You send become a weapon the enemy cannot counter. Let Your provision confuses the plans of the adversary. Let Your strength dismantle every assignment that rises against me. Let Your Presence surround me like a fortress and when victory manifests, let me give You all the glory. Let me testify boldly that obedience under attack is what ushered in breakthrough. Let me never forget that You fight for me even when I cannot see what You are doing in the valley. Thank You, Father, for being my defender, my deliverer, and my victory. I will keep digging. I will keep trusting. I will keep standing. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Nugget: Every ditch you dig becomes a place where the enemy loses power over your life.

Blessings…
