When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. (Is 59:19)
Within this portion in Isaiah, God’s interest in the world is being revealed. Within church history, it is clear that during times of spiritual decays, God’s children withdraw to pray for God to intercede. In such times, God’s Spirit moves and awaken many to their spiritual state and need for repentance. Indeed it is not through carnal weapons that the Christian does overcome, but through their crying out to God to raise up His standard against all evil. This is a call for Christians to seek God’s face and intercede for others.
