Against Principalities, Against Powers…
We are in a constant state of war. Our flesh is battling against the powers of darkness and their strongholds are this world as we walk into this darkness as Ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. As we march in the name of Jesus Christ the powers against us are many. The powers against us never sleep and never stop learning how to attack us. The principalities and rulers of the darkness of this age come from the right, from the left and every angle imaginable. One needs only turn on the TV for a moment to understand the depth of the wickedness.
From the sublime to the over-the-top right up in-your-face evil on an unprecedented scale we walk as Ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven. The mockery of Our God, Jesus Christ, is at every turn. We are to stand up, give a shout of praise and polish the Whole Armor of God as we trod this world. Let the Love of Jesus Christ be felt by those we encounter. Let the Light of the World shine through our eyes and allow the Holy Spirit to radiate through our souls, through our hearts to pierce the hearts of those around us. Let us encourage those around us to drink deeply of the Living Waters and come to realize the branch is dying without the Vinedresser opening the flow of life giving sap.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ~ Ephesians 6:10-13 NKJB

We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
We stand on the Rock with the Whole Armor of God in place. We walk softly and speak with a humble tongue. We follow our King, Jesus Christ, where He leads. We follow no other Voice but His. We listen for His voice to provide direction, then we act immediately with our one and only response to His voice – yes and Amen.
Either the Scripture is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
