Gen. 15:7-11
God had made a glorious covenant promise with Abraham and, to seal it, God instructed him to take a female heifer and a female goat and cut them in two; a turtledove and a pigeon and lay them on the ground, head to head. Abraham did as he was instructed, and as these creatures of his sacrifice lay bleeding, vultures began to descend on the carcasses.
vs.11
And when THE FOWLS CAME DOWN upon the carcasses, [VULTURES - birds of prey]
Abram DROVE THEM AWAY. [as he stood by his sacrifice waiting for the manifestation of God, Who had ordered him to prepare for the confirmation of His covenant promise – he had to CHASE AWAY THE VULTURES, that they would not corrupt and eat away what had been set apart for God]

Pray the Word:
Lord, when Satan sees our firm resolve to go all the way with You as we lay down our lives for the promises You have given to us - there is only one way for him to react - all of HELL GOES INTO A PANIC! So, Satan, LIKE THE VULTURE, who lies in wait for the chance to exploit us when we’re the most vulnerable goes into a jealous rage to corrupt us by throwing out accusations that cause doubt and fear; and he eats away at us through condemnation that brings a sense of rejection - all which leads to self-destruction. In the name of Jesus! we stand firm in our faith and chase away the VULTURES.
