Lord, Give Me the Head of My Enemies

⚔️

This one got bloody—on purpose.
From Bashan to the depths of the sea, God promises vengeance.

Today’s seed isn’t a casual prayer for peace. It’s a prophetic cry for full deliverance: “Give me the head of my enemies.”


🌾 The Seed

“Lord, give me the head of my enemies—the one who steals my peace, my joy, my time, Your presence in my life.”

This is about the distractions that break your mental stamina. The subtle attacks on your spirit. The quiet things that come for you in the dark.


📖 The Word

Psalm 68:22–23 says:

“The Lord said, I will bring them back from Bashan, from the depths of the sea, that your foot may shatter them in blood…”

That’s not metaphor. That’s justice.
From Numbers to Jeremiah to Amos—God shows us clearly: He defends what belongs to Him. And that includes you.


🧠 The Shift

Your brain forms defense responses based on perceived threat—but when you rehearse truth (Scripture), your brain rewires to stop replaying trauma and start forming strategy.

The prefrontal cortex (decision-making) begins to dominate over the amygdala (fear + survival) when you declare God’s Word out loud.

🛠 The Build

Today, write out the thing that’s been taking jabs at your joy.
Now, speak this out loud like a war cry:

“I come with the sword of the Word. And I call down the vengeance of God. Lord—give me the head of this enemy.”


🔊 The Speak

“I fight with the Word. I activate the armies of heaven. God is my vindicator, and I will not back down.”
