Summary: Learning the right way to use the name of the Lord in our every day life.
I want to help you see that and know that and know what to do about that because you are so important to the kingdom, to advance the kingdom of Light and drive back darkness.
We will never win the war in this region until we first win the war within, and we stop settling for mediocrity and fire escape religion and we become warriors, grown up, men and women of God who know skillfully how to use the weapons of our warfare and we win victories in our life and we begin to lay hands on other people who are hurting.
If we drink anything deadly by mistake it’s not going to hurt us. We can take up serpents meaning whatever demonic forces are at hand, we can deal with it. Then we can help bring healing to other hurting people. It’s so important.
Jesus promises us victory by not reminding us that he was just some nice Jewish carpenter’s son, that became a nice man and a good teacher, He’s God, always has, always will be.
He was in heaven when Lucifer the most beautiful angel in heaven sinned and was immediately evicted. Here is where He was, and what He saw, and why He reminds us of it, in Luke 10:18…
“And He said to them, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven(now this is a 30 year old saying, “I saw something that happened 4,000 years ago or before, could have been eons before. So would you read the rest with me…). Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:18-19 NKJV)
Would you circle the word “all”? How much of the power of the enemy has he given you power to tread upon? All of it. Now it doesn’t mean you’re doing it, he could still be tearing you up but it’s not because you don’t have the power it’s because you’re not using it. You have that power in vain. That power comes from his authority which is his name. Jesus saw it by the way because Michael was strong enough and he just delegated it to Colonel Michael. General Jesus didn’t even have to lift a finger.
In other words, Jesus has more than enough power in reserve to destroy anything that’s come against you but you’ve got to learn to use that name and that authority.
This is a real world. You can’t live spiritually with your head in the sand and pretend it doesn’t exist because in the meantime it is destroying you.
God has called you to a life beyond mediocrity, beyond the status quo. The question is: will you answer that call and say, ‘whatever it takes Lord. I surrender all and I will answer the call’?
We need to continue to learn the proper use of God’s name. Let’s bow…
