like a flood the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

Great message at Metro Newfarm from Sunjay.
Move a comma and get the true understanding of one's powerful position in Jesus.

"When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him." Is.59:19 KJV

Compare the change of authority by the change of position of the comma (supported by translators):

"When the enemy shall come in,
like a flood the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."

.............like a pent-up flood that the breath of the LORD drives along. NIV

even better!!


small section of Metro Church beliefs:

We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues which is the initial evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.

  1. I've looked at the hebrew in that verse, and when it says that the Sp[irit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him, what it means is that the Spirit of the Lord will drive the enemy away. In other words, He will fight our battles for us.
