Israel’s promotion was the battle of their lives.
Many times we want promotion, we want the promises, we want the glory and the power of the kingdom but fail to realise these promotions often times do not come without battles.
The greatest of Israel’s promotion required the battle of their lives. In fact 40 years earlier they decided they didn’t want the promised land because they were offended at the battle.
We can be offended at the battles at thresholds to our promises but those battles (as we know) are assigned to displace the enemy and occupy.
If you are to occupy it doesn’t come without displacing an enemy. And don’t be mistaken you will engage warfare. The enemy is not passive in giving up territory. Because territory involves the liberating of souls. And I’m not just talking about natural geographical territory, I’m talking about territory that is ours to possess and inhabit that Jesus bought with His blood.
These territories are healing, deliverance from demonic oppression, deliverance from poverty, torment and dysfunction, (typically anything on earth that is lawless in heaven).
Somehow we humans desire victory without a battle and resent having to believe God (which by the way is the way we fight). We fight with faith. Faith is the exchange rate of heaven. It brings to earth what has already been made available by the blood. 
In this month of Nissan we remember the “way maker” , THE CHIEF INTERCESSOR, the lamb of God who was slain. And we behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah who has triumphed. It’s the month of the Lion and the Lamb.
Oh the VICTORIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS
