Is anyone familiar with being hotly pursued by enemy voices, enemy circumstances, enemy diagnosis’s? You name the enemy, are you familiar with how it feels like they are in hot pursuit of you daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly? Most people are very familiar with the patterns of the enemy as we feel surrounded by them in a variety of ways.

I was praying Psalm 23 this morning and the Lord spoke to me and said, “I am reversing the roles of who pursues my people from this day on.” I literally heard the words, “Reverse the curse!” The curse of being pursued by the enemy is being reversed to be pursued by the goodness and mercy of God.

Psalm 23:6 says, “Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” I paused to look up the word follow. Follow means, “pursue, chase, hunt down, harass.” It’s the Hebrew word radaph.

We have experienced being negatively pursued by voices, memories, words, experiences, reports, etc. but the Holy Spirit said, “Today, I am reversing the curse.” We are now being pursued hotly, chased, hunted down by goodness and lovingkindness.

We are so familiar with being chased by negative enemies, we have learned to stay one step ahead of them in order to not be completely consumed by them. Now we need to let ourselves be caught by the pursuer, because goodness is trying to catch us, lovingkindness is trying to hunt us down. It’s time to be caught by the Lord who is in hot pursuit of us.
