Because of the revenge attack carried out by Simeon and Levi on the people of Shechem for the rape of their sister Dinah, Jacob and his family faced the real danger of being attacked and wiped out, but God stepped in.
There are essentially three ways God deals with our enemies:
- God turns their heart to make peace with you
- There are others He judges and destroys
- But in this case, He sent His terror upon the cities that were round about Jacob and his family and they were afraid to attack them.
We must not kill in the name of religion because God can fight for Himself.
Those who refuse to make peace with you will die. And those who will not leave you alone will be destroyed by their own mischief.
You must trust God to protect you and your family as He has promised in several Scriptures. Psalm 91:1-16 for example.
PRAY: Dear Lord, protect and deliver me and my loved ones from all evil plots of the enemy; destroy those who will not back off, in Jesus Name.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION: I command the terror of God upon your haters! They will not pursue you anymore! God will secure you in your office, business place and everywhere you are! I hand over all your unrepentant pursuers to God for immediate judgment, in Jesus Name!!!
