Air Power

Growing up my dad was in the Air Force Reserves after leaving the regular Air Force. I think that was the reason we watched all of the old movies about World War II with James Cagney, Jimmy Stewart, and many others. There was one point that was made repeatedly and my dad would sometimes mention. The one that had air superiority, that “ruled the sky”, would always win. As I began to write today I realized that applies in spiritual warfare as well. Our enemy is in the air.

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

So our enemy is the prince of the power of the air. If we can rule the air, then we win. Scriptures say that our God is even higher and rules the sky. He rids on it and through it.

Psalms 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.

Deuteronomy 33:26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

Our God rules the air. And when we call out to God, when we humble ourselves and pray, when we sing His praises, we ride with Him. With God, we can rule the air and defeat the prince of power of the air.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy of our praise. Come in the clouds and rule over the earth. Bring Your kingdom amongst us. Help us for we are Your children Father and we need Your help. Forgive us when we do not follow You. Come now in power and heal and deliver Your people. Come in power and send us Your overwhelming provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
