The Prayer Mantle


            [35] O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the
            God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto
            his people. Blessed be God.

             SCRIPTURE IN FOCUS    Habakkuk 3:19 KJV

            [19] The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my
            feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon
            mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed
            instruments.


             SCRIPTURE EXPOSITION
            The hind or the deer is one of the fastest animals on the
            planet. Living in and around Jerusalem, Habakkuk would
            have seen hinds on the hillsides of that mountainous area.
            Hinds  are  female  red  deer;  they  have  no  antlers  for
            protection and weigh about half as much as a male red
            deer. Therefore the only skill the hind could depend on to
            escape predators was her surefootedness - her feet. When
            chased by a predator, a hind could escape to safety as fast
            as possible up the rocky slopes where other animals would
            slip and stumble. This From the scriptures, the prophet
            Habakkuk likens the speed God will give him to that of one
            of the fastest animals on earth. It is the will of God for us to
            run with speed in life. It is not the will of God for you to be
            delayed  in  your  achievements.  The  promises  in  God's
            word are for us. Claim them for yourself and declare it in
            prayer. God will make your feet like the hind's feet. With
            God behind you, you will outrun your enemies and escape
            into safety. Claim that in Jesus name.
