Thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
(Deut. 33:29)
He was in tears and visibly shaken by his circumstances. He was the proprietor of a local doughnut shop and had been doing well until trouble came his way.
An unscrupulous person came into his store and staged a phony accidental fall. Right behind the “injured party” was a person with a camera to take a picture of the “accident.”
Behind that person was another man ready to take down the names of convenient “witnesses.” A lawsuit for an exorbitant sum of money was then filed by the “victim” who had staged the whole scenario.
This dear brother told me, “Dick, I could lose it all. My insurance policy for this type of accident is minimal at best. If this fellow wins this case, I could lose everything I own.”
I stood in agreement with the shopkeeper, praying with him that the Lord would work a miracle of deliverance.
How I appreciate the faithfulness of the Lord in these situations. I was not familiar with Deuteronomy 33:29, but the Holy Spirit quickened it to me: “All your enemies shall be found as liars unto you.”
The next day, in his private chambers, the judge in charge of the case began to read over the records. The trial was to start in one hour.
Suddenly the magistrate was heard to make this statement in disgust: “This is a travesty of justice. The plaintiff is obviously a pathological liar. I refuse to hear this case. I am throwing it out of court.”
An overnight fulfillment of a word from the Lord! Case dismissed! Another enemy found as a liar!
