Know your enemy: evil rulers and authorities, mighty powers, and evil spirits in the heavenly placesBeloved of Jesus Christ,
Ephesians 6:12 explains the spiritual forces we are constantly fighting against. The Word of God states, For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against EVIL RULERS and AUTHORITIES of the unseen world, against MIGHTY POWERS in this dark world, and against EVIL SPIRITS in the heavenly places. Where are these wicked forces located? They are in the heavenly places. Now, I was reading about King Hezekiah's son, Manasseh. The Bible tells us that he did a lot of evil "for all the powers of the heavens..." Beloved, when you see people doing wicked acts, they are simply working for the evil rulers, authorities, mighty powers, and evil spirits in heavenly places. The Bible reads, "He built pagan altars in the Temple of the Lord , the place where the Lord had said, “My name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” He built these altars for all the powers of the heavens in both courtyards of the Lord ’s Temple. Manasseh also sacrificed his own son in the fire. He practiced sorcery and divination, and he consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was evil in the Lord ’s sight, arousing his anger." (2 Kings 21:4-6 NLT) Now, to deal with these evil forces, put on God's armor and resist the devil by living holy and binding those wicked beings that are up high. They must bow low at the name of Jesus Christ. We are more than conquerors through Jesus, and He has given us power and authority to trample on wickedness! Hallelujah! We resist all evil acts in the mighty name of Jesus Christ (YESHUA Ha-MASHIACH). |
