In All Things

If we are first followers of God and spiritual people, then in all we do we are entering into spiritual matters. That is who we are. If that is true, then spiritual warfare is in everything we do, right? What I mean is we as representatives of God and His kingdom. Therefore we could be in prayer against darkness and that would be spiritual warfare – I think we would all agree about that point. However, wherever we are in whatever we do, if we bring in God’s light we are dispelling the darkness. That means we are pushing the darkness back. Sounds like spiritual warfare, right? It is. Paul addressed this in his first letter to the Corinthians. I will share just one point from that letter.

1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

If we are doing anything to the glory of God, we push back the darkness. How we speak to our children, our spouses, our neighbors – if it is to God’s glory, we push back the darkness. That is very good spiritual warfare.

Today, try to do all you do to God’s glory and watch what happens. It is likely you will see His glory spread out, and darkness pushed back. That is bringing forth God’s kingdom.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High. Please help us to push back against the darkness. Please help us to do everything we do to Your glory. Please show Yourself strong when we do that all may see Your glory. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
