Be The Battle

This morning I had quite a drive through a snow storm. It gave me time to think about the many ways we can become involved in spiritual warfare. One way that came to me that was quite different from anything I had considered before. Our existence is itself the evidence of not only the battle but that God has already won, which has to be tough on the enemy. Here is what I mean.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Here God created us in His image and likeness. Then He gave us dominion over everything on the earth and the earth. So first, every time the enemy looks at us, he sees something that looks like God. Then, he also sees that we have the power over this planet and everything in it. Another reminder. What are his choices? He has to try to deceive and persuade us to follow his ways instead of God. The goal is to get us to look like the enemy instead of looking like God.

So you want to fight the spiritual battle and win? Just show up. You look like God, and when you try to walk in God’s ways, you act like God. Game over, and the enemy loses!

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You! You alone are King. We long to serve You and walk in Your image and likeness. Please help us find Your way. Please send today our deliverance, our healing, and our provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
