As believers, we will be involved in spiritual conflict, but we have been given the necessary power and authority to overcome the wicked one.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1-2:
1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
The Holy Spirit is our Source of Wisdom, revelation, and knowledge. Each of us has been given skills to develop by Our Heavenly Father as we were being formed in the womb. We will gravitate toward these skills throughout our life. Coupled with The Holy Spirit, we will develop those skills to further the Kingdom of GOD.
The artisans who made the Sacred elements for the Tabernacle in the time of Moses are a perfect example of this Truth.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT what FATHER said to him in Exodus chapter 35:
10 “All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded”
Paul continues:
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
As each of us become enlightened, we will pursue the hope of His calling for righteous purposes which in turn leads to the riches associated with His glory. The Truth was preexisting, we simply needed to see it.
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
There is none greater than Christ Who is now seated at the Right Hand of GOD The Father. All created beings are subject to His Dominion and will answer for their actions.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church,
23 which is His Body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all.
You and I are to serve the King of Kings in all areas of our life, without exception. We have been given the power and authority to do so if the eyes of our understanding are enlightened by the Light of The Word.
2:1 And His fullness fills you, even though you were once like corpses, dead in your sins and offenses.
2 It wasn’t that long ago that you lived in the religion, customs, and values of this world, obeying the dark ruler of the earthly realm who fills the atmosphere with his authority, and works diligently in the hearts of those who are disobedient to the Truth of God.
3 The corruption that was in us from birth was expressed through the deeds and desires of our self-life. We lived by whatever natural cravings and thoughts our minds dictated, living as rebellious children subject to God’s wrath like everyone else.
All of us once served the dark ruler of the worldly realm. When the True Light entered in, we became aware of our need to repent and accept Christ into our hearts. As we have allowed The Holy Spirit to enter in as well, our empowerment is now resident within us.
Our Holy Oil has been enlightening us within, little by little so that at some point, it will radiate outward and be a testimony to those living in darkness. The internal development must occur before the external achievement comes forth. Though the world powers would attempt to eliminate out our light, we will by Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, navigate and overcome the darkness. Let our lights shine brighter!
