Do you truly understand the power of spirits? Do you know what it means to be in spiritual warfare? Do you know that we are in a war and that war is not against flesh and blood? Do you understand that we have the power to strengthen the power of God in the earth and we also have the power to strengthen the power of the enemy in the earth? It's all in who and what we support and serve.
What spirit are you serving and supporting today? Is it God or is it the spirit of the world? Are you promoting God and holiness or are you promoting the devil, fear, and evil? When people see you today, are they going to see the power of God resting upon you and will they hear the power of His Word flowing from you or are they going to see you looking like the world and doing what the world is doing? Will you be promoting God and holiness or will you be promoting fear and the evil tendencies of the world? You can either be God's billboard in the world or you can be the devils. Remember, you are a living epistle. In other words, your life is an open book that others are reading. They are getting guidance and direction from the actions of your life. What story is your life telling?
Is your life saying that it's okay to do what the world is doing or is it saying to others to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might? Is it saying stand out from among the crowd and go full speed ahead with God? Is it saying don't do that and don't participate in that because it is not of God? What direction are people inclined to go if they are following you? Will you lead them to God or will you lead them into a ditch? The thing about a ditch is that it is sometimes hard to get out of it. You can get out of it but sometimes it is hard to pull yourself out of a ditch. So don't be the guiding force that leads others into positions that it is hard for them to get out of. Be the helper. Be the one who is helping to strengthen others so that they can pull themselves up and out of the ditches that life has pushed them into.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
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.”
