As the men of Israel were pursuing an harassing the foe, Joshua prayed aloud, "Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and let the moon stand in its place over the valley of Aijalon!" And the sun and the moon didn't move until the Israeli army had finished the destruction of its enemies! This is described in great detail in The Book of Jashar. So the sun stopped in the heavens and stayed there for almost twenty-four hours! Joshua 10:12-13
When you make up your mind to start doing battle for your deliverance, something will happen in the spirit realm. The Lord will stay the hand of time and allow you to recover what you have lost. He will give you time to regain your life. Darkness and the shadow of death is not going to come over you to consume you. The presence of God is going to shine in your situation until you are completely delivered.
You are not going to die in this mess. God is going to hold back the sun, because in order to fight, you need to be able to see clearly. The enemy like to have you in the dark, but God is letting the light of His Word shine in your spirit until you are delivered. When Joshua prayed, that is when the light came. God, then gave him the extra time. Prayer provoked God's hand to move against the elements - to hold back the sun.
There had never been such a day before, and there has never been another since, when the Lord stopped the sun and moon - all because of the prayer of one man. But the Lord was fighting for Israel Joshua 10:14. While you are discouraged and you are feeling like you have messed up, you need to know that the Lord is fighting for you. There is someone fighting for you. THE LORD IS FIGHTING FOR YOU!
