Deu 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

Transforming Power Statements:
1) It has been the work of God based solely on His promises, which is the reason for the ongoing success of the people whom God has selected for His own from the beginning even up to this very moment; and shall continue until everything spoken / written shall be completed.
2) There is a battle in progress involving every area of life and there is an evil scheme in progress against the spoken / written truth of God, which will consume every unbeliever who does not believe and trust the things God has said in Holy writ.
3) No matter what happens against the ones who trust in Jesus Christ, the battle rages on and gets more and more fierce day by day; but all who stay the course of faith in Jesus Christ shall defeat every plot of the enemy when all is said and done because the end of the book says: We Win! the Battle is the LORD’s!
