BAMN – By Any Means Necessary

One morning in prayer, the Lord gave me this:
“Satan will attack you by any means necessary, so we must praise God by any means necessary.”

A few months later, my husband wrote a song called God BAMN – By Any Means Necessary.

The phrase “by any means necessary” means to achieve a goal using all available methods—even those considered extreme or undesirable. It implies a powerful commitment to overcoming any obstacle. Another way to say it is simply: “Whatever it takes.”

What does that mean for Christian living? How do we praise, serve, obey, believe, and trust God by any means necessary?

We do just that—whatever it takes to grow in faith and stay close to God.
Do I need to wake up at 4 am to strengthen my prayer life before my day begins? By any means necessary. Should I consider letting go of certain people or distractions to deepen my relationship with God? By any means necessary. Will I need to fast and seek God more intentionally to mature spiritually? BY. ANY. MEANS. NECESSARY.

Whatever it takes to be one with God, that’s what it takes. We can’t let anything stand in the way of our spiritual growth.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13

 

This walk of faith isn’t always easy. One of my former pastors used to tell a story about when he was building his spiritual discipline. One day, he grabbed his Bible, sat down, opened to the book of Psalms, and told God:
“I’m going to read every Psalm out loud until I feel Your presence.”

That was his BAMN moment. There are 150 Psalms—and he sat there, reading them out loud until something shifted in his spirit.

We stand on business when it comes to God. No matter what it takes, we’re all in.

 

Final Encouragement

Ask yourself:
What does “God by any means necessary” look like for me?

Take a moment today to reflect. If you feel led, share your heart in the comments. Let this be part of your daily devotion—your intentional step toward trusting God and overcoming spiritual attacks through faith and obedience.

 

As always, remember that I love you, and I want you FREE IN CHRIST.

Peace and blessings.
