* When people are sick they need a doctor. When they are captive they need a warrior.

* Right now our culture needs courageous warriors who are willing to fight.

* But you won’t fight a battle if you don’t know you’re in one.

* ** David is considering the role of mankind in the earth.

* He gives us a glimpse into why we’re in this fight in the first place.

* Vs 3-4 - God the Father cares about us, His image bearers.

* Vs 5a - we are not as strong or strategic as angels!

* Vs 5b-8 - God gave us authority over creation.

* He’s put everything “under our feet.”

* What do you think Satan wanted in heaven? Power and authority.

* God threw Satan to earth, then made a being less powerful than Satan.

* This would be like a man wanting to fight me, then I offer up my 11 year old daughter.

* But I supernaturally give her my Spirit.

* He wouldn’t just be defeated - he’d be humiliated.

* Psalms 110:1 - “The Lord says to my lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

* This is a picture of ultimate humiliation.

* We are in the footstool making business.

* God put creation under our feet so we can be a part of putting Satan under Christ’s feet.
