Spiritual Warfare


Listen Later

One morning I was praying and the Lord gave me a vision. It was a young woman roaming through the streets, lost. She didn’t know who she was. Quite often, men would come and abuse her, and even steal what little bit she had. They would yell insults at her and called her terrible names. This woman was defeated.
 
Then one day she was found by the King and brought to the palace. And love was lavished on her. All the people in the palace told her that she was a princess and she began to learn to live as one.
 
Growing in her confidence, one day she was walking through the streets much like a commoner. Several men recognized her and came from all directions and starting beating her again. They were laughing and overwhelming her.
 
She knelt down in a ball on the ground and cried out to the Lord. In a moment, her eyes opened and she remembered she was a princess of the kingdom. So she rose up and declared, “I am a princess of the land, who are you to come and beat me down?”
 
In a flash, the faces of the men turned to fear. They knew she knew who she was and fled in every direction. The princess knew she had the authority to command anything she wished and she commanded they be captured and put in prison.
 
She now walks throughout the kingdom as a princess, and all her enemies fear her.
 
Moral of the story:
This is spiritual warfare.
The enemy knows who we are and will keep coming back day after day to keep us defeated and down.
If we do not understand who we are and the authority we have as children of the King, we will walk on this earth defeated. He will beat and rob us any chance he gets.
 
Knowing who we are begins with knowing we have been given a gift of righteousness. That way when the enemy comes to taunt you and remind you of all your sins, you can declare, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! I have been forgiven. Now flee enemy!”
 
And when sickness comes to attack, you can declare, “You have no right in my body!”
 
Today know you are royalty. You are children of the Most High God. You have been declared Kings and Priests. The only weapon the enemy has against you is lies. And he wants to deceive you into believing you have no power. But you do!
 
Deuteronomy 28:7 The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
