The Battleship
The last couple days have been very full. So much so that instead of writing in the morning I ma writing today in the early evening. As I sat a moment to rest and consider all that is going on and how God is with us, I am reminded of a battleship. Having never served in the Navy, I likely have an unrealistic picture. My vision of a battleship is a sleek powerful cruiser that has within it the explosive power to change somebody’s world. It reminded me of how we are to be in our spiritual warfare.
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.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
In this scripture we not only see that we are to have within us the power to dislodge and destroy the enemy, it makes Jesus happy when we do. He does provide a word of caution to not get puffed up thinking we are something special as a resul. We are to be like this. We are God’s battleships on the sea of mankind.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. Thank You for being our King and Ruler. Send Your kingdom to this earth. Reign, Lord. Send us abundant provision today. Forgive us when we make the dumb mistakes that we know we will. Send Your healing and deliverance, especially from ebola. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
