Matthew 4:3-‬4 KJV-And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

To enforce means to compel obedience to a law, regulation, or command. It involves making something compulsory, imposing it by force, or insisting on it with emphasis. In the context of prayer, we can enforce and compel obedience to our heart desires. The reality however is that the devil will not simply back down from his attempts to harass or interfere in your life because you wish it so; you must actively enforce your victory over him consistently, using the Word of God.

To effectively enforce compliance in the spiritual realm, you need to be intentional and consistent in your prayers and just as Jesus did, you too must declare, “It is written.” The devil does not respect individuals; he only bows to the authority of the Word of God when it is spoken with revelation, understanding and faith. This means that we must approach our prayers with confidence, knowing that we have the power to declare God’s promises over our lives and situations.

Today, choose to stand firm on the Word of God, reminding the enemy of his defeat and the authority you possess as a believer. Your words, rooted in Scripture and spoken with conviction, can compel the enemy to retreat and affirm your position of victory in Christ. Start right now! Hallelujah!

START-UP PRAYER:

Oh Lord, I ask for the boldness and understanding to enforce my victory over the enemy through Your Word. Help me to speak with authority and faith, compelling compliance over every aspect of my life in Jesus Name.
