Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” We are not fighting flesh and blood but against spirits and against the very ruler of the darkness of this world. But there is VICTORY! His name is Jesus. God will give the victory to those who are willing to go with Him.
The Devil is already defeated. When Jesus embraced the role of His sacrifice, He declared in a deafening shout on the cross at Calvary, “It is finished.” John 19:30, “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost..” The battle is won because of the power in the blood of His sacrifice. Enough POWER to march into the enemy's domain, the places he has imprisoned the souls of the lost, hopeless, lifeless, bodies of humankind. The power and light of Jesus Christ will reach into these deep dark crevices of life and set the captive free.
However, somebody must deliver the message. Someone has to invade this realm of darkness in the power of Christ and declare freedom to these imprisoned souls. My prayer is that God will ignite His Holy Ghost fire in the Body of Christ, a fresh baptism of fire. Lord send a fresh wind of Your Pentecostal fire, a raging, consuming fire of God so that we burn so hot and so bright that the darkness cannot stay where we go.
There is coming a time in the future when all creation will bow at the feet of Christ. All creation will declare true reverence to Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But I am convinced that Christ Jesus wants to use the Body of Christ in the fulfillment of His miraculous power. The signs of God’s miraculous presence should follow the lives of believers.
Mark 16:17, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” John 14:12, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
I am convinced that the Lord Jesus wants to use the Body of Christ to march into Satan's house, the very seat and throne of his rule and rescue perishing souls. Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
These are the words that Jesus read in the Temple and declared “...This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” Luke 4:21. That was the scope of Jesus' ministry as prophesied by Isaiah. That was the authority of His mantle. He has given that authority to the Church as He commissioned Her to complete His ministry. He passed His mantle of authority to His Body. Let us embrace His command and go in the power and the authority of His Holy Spirit and REAP THIS END TIME HARVEST!
