I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” –Mathew 16:19, NIV 2010
A pastor once explained me that after God came to this Earth, there is a window of escape open to those who want to run fast to Jesus. In that window, God awaits such fellow escapees, clothing them with garments of righteousness, a shield, an immersion of water and Spirit, and a covering of authority. Every one of these things are given as soon as we believe in Him.
The Enemy is trying to ravage our crops, destroy our families, and drive us off the blanco. He doesn’t want us destroyed only; he wants us dead. And that is hard to say, but it’s true! We have the God-given right as sons and daughters to ask but maintain that authority against the forces of evil (and we’re not the Powerpuff Girls), for we fight against the unseen.
But take heart, my friends: they have been defeated even before the Earth was created! Even though they may try to crush our head, we already know that God stroke his heel! And you know the best part: we have already replaced Lucifer as worship director of the celestial choirs. Why don’t we practice right now?
So if you see someone stomping on their right foot, you’ll know why.
The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. –Deuteronomy 28:13, NIV 2010
