If the Kingdom of Heaven is within us
and we pray in the Lord’s prayer:
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done In Earth as it is in Heaven,
We know also that there is a dark Abyss,
another Kingdom, a place of Darkness,
where some on Earth choose for their hearts to dwell
And we walk amongst these people
We are never to focus on darkness,
neither are we to elevate Satan and his works
For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven,
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones,
or dominions, or principalities,
or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:
And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
And He is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things He might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:16-18
Jesus is in charge
For us to battle against these people or dominions on our own is futile
We do not have any power at all without Jesus Christ, the Messiah
We also are not to fear them, we are to fear the Lord our God
With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, saying,
Ye shall not fear other gods,
nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
But the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
with great power and a stretched out arm,
Him shall ye fear, and Him shall ye worship, and to Him shall ye do sacrifice.
2 Kings 17:35-36
And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God;
fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell:
but ye have not obeyed My voice. Judges 6:10
What miracles God performs are not by our strength or might or power
or anything we do,
We are only flesh, mere mortals
Then He answered and spake unto me, saying,
This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying,
Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6
Keeping our eyes on Jesus will help us to remember our lowly position,
and how mighty and powerful He is, how He is always in charge,
that nothing gets by Him
Satan has to ask our God and Savior permission for everything he does,
unless there is already an opening, a breech in the armour
or if people have chosen to refuse the shadow of the Most High God
The spiritual realm is real and we walk daily amongst enemies
that do not always seem like enemies, some seem like friends, or are friends
Nevertheless, the spiritual realm is part of our lives here on earth
Keeping our garments clean and not spotted by the flesh
being ready in season and out to preach the gospel
and serve God in whatever He asks of us
There is no greater honor
(A Psalm of David.)
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,
came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident. Psalm 27:1-3
