The Ultimate Weapon In Spiritual Warfare

Today around the world many celebrate the birth of Jesus. Many do not. Among those that do not are those that do not believe He was the Messiah. And some are believers that believe He was born on a different day, perhaps in the fall. While when He was born is important to all, there is something more important. It is that He was born to save us.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Some say that the death and resurrection is the source of our power over darkness. That is true. But if He had never been born, then His death and resurrection could never have been. For me, His birth on this earth is not only a miracle, it is a testimony to God’s unfailing love for us as His children, and the gift He has given us to defeat darkness.

Today, let us celebrate that for those of us that believe, we have a Defender King!

Prayer
Father, we love You and praise You as the Most High King. We ask today that You give us the ability to remember why You sent Your Son. We ask that You lead us to deliver the poor, the fatherless, and the afflicted, from the evil one. May You receive all glory, honor, and praise. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
