Under Whose Shade? Part One

As Caleb and Joshua rise to encourage their fellow Israelites to trust and obey God, they press the people not to give in to fear of the occupants of the Promised Land.

They tell the people that the Shade (Shelter, Protection) of the Canaanites has retreated from them. What does this mean?

If we examine Daniel 10, we discover that under the absolute sovereignty of God, supernatural creatures oversee the affairs of the nations.

These ruling spirits are very powerful and can hinder even a mighty archangel of God.

Our greatest weapon in this cosmic battle is prayer under the authority of God's Word. As Daniel persevered in prayer, angelic reinforcements were sent: Gabriel was joined by Michael against the Prince of Persia and later the Prince of Greece.
