Don’t Fade Away
Growing up my earthly father taught me a saying. Might is not always right, but right is might. I have thought on that statement in life many times when I have been faced with challenging situations. As believers this statement is encouraging to me because our God is the Almighty One, and He is also the source of all that is righteous. The result is, the One backing us up has both might and right on His side. I do not say this so that we could boast. Our Messiah warned against that in speaking to the seventy (notice it was more than His twelve disciples).
Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
It would be easy for us to become caught up in the moment of victory. For many of us this would represent some of the few victories we believe we have experienced. However, if we will walk in God’s ways, that need not be the case. If we walk in God’s ways we will in fact experience victory on a regular basis, victory in many shapes and sizes. God created us to lead. He created us to lead creation. He will continue to empower us to lead creation in His ways. We need only follow Him.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy of all honor and praise. Let Your kingdom come to earth today Father. Let Your kingdom guide our hearts and minds, ruling the air. Let Your royal decrees awaken within us, inscribed on our hearts and minds, that we might have the power to say and do them. Give us Your overwhelming provision today. Forgive us when we fail You. We need Your grace and love, more than ever perhaps. Send Your healing and deliverance. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
