Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name. 🔥 🕊 🙌
1 Samuel 17:46-47 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.” 🔥 🕊 🙌
🕊 ⚔️ 📖 As we’ve been traveling across the United States, the spiritual warfare is more tangible than ever before. Whereas years ago, it was done in secret…. open and public occult demonic activity is increasing in numerous places.We are facing principalities and powers in heavenly places and here on Earth, and we must fight as the saints of old, with the spiritual weapons of FAITH, and the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.
And ultimately it IS His battle. 🔥 🕊 🙌
🕊 ⚔️ 📖 This great war, being fought on the battleground of humanity itself, has, from the Lord’s perspective, ALREADY been won. Jesus Christ’s victory at the cross resounds through history in every direction of time and space.In this sense, the battle is not ours, but the Lord’s, whose triumph over sin, death, the grave and evil was perfectly accomplished there. And since God exists beyond time and space, it’s already OVER in His world. The very grammar of prophetic utterances, particularly in the OT, we call the “prophetic past”, is written as though the events described have been COMPLETED. (Praise God!!) 🔥 🕊 🙌
🕊 ⚔️ 📖 As such, in these developing prophetic days, we live in a paradox, “the already, but not yet”. Even as evils increase all around, we’re participating in both… a present war, and a present victory. And so, we carry both… responsibility and confidence. ⚔️
🕊 ⚔️ 📖 Our confidence stands firmly in the resurrection and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ as He sits at the right hand of the Father. And since we’re not fighting in our own strength we can declare, “O Lord this is your battle!
🕊 ⚔️ 📖 Our responsibility is firmly rooted in our confidence; not in flesh, chariots, horses, armies, weapons, technologies, noble human intentions, economic power or prosperity, political agendas, constitutions, presidents, nor anything else of this world. Our responsibility lies in our re-presentation of the One we love and serve who lives within us and empowers everything we do of any true value. In the power of the Spirit, with bold confidence, we can declare His eternal truth, the most powerful weapon that has ever or will ever exist.
The enemy may attack with lies, deceptions and threats of every kind, and he will.…your defense is the Lord, what He has spoken, who He is, what He has done, and what He is doing in and through you. ⚔️
🕊 ⚔️ 📖 Your defense, and your offense, Jesus’s victory and His Word, and this present battle truly is the Lord’s. Take it to heart, “The battle is the Lord’s.” You simply stand declaring His victory and His truth to a sea of humanity desperate for forgiveness, hope, love and peace.
