Ephesians 6:12   ‘For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.’

DAILY READING –1 Corinthians 2; 1 Kings 15:1-32; Joel 2:12-32

Kirk Cameron is one of the best known Christian actors today. He recently was the main actor in the award winning movie, ‘fireproof’. And perhaps he is best known by many Christians for his role as journalist Buck Williams in the “Left Behind” movie series. Cameron is also the co-creator of ‘The Way of the Master ’TV program.

However, though he is a well known Christian today, the surprising thing is that he used to be a staunch atheist who didn’t believe in God. He started acting at a young age in Hollywood and by 17 years, he was already a successful actor that seemed to have it all. But when he was invited to church by a friend’s family he had an encounter with God that led him to give his life to Christ. And ever since he has been serving God without wavering and boldly preaching Christ to the world.

It is indeed amazing how God can suddenly transform a man’s life. Truly there is power in the blood of Jesus, to effect a positive change in anyone’s life. It doesn’t matter how strong the bondage, the blood of Jesus is able to shatter the hold of sin and set a man free to serve God.

The fact is that sin is a force. and to overcome it is a battle. And according to Ephesians 6:12 our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This is why we must engage the weapons of our warfare to overcome. And our sure weapon of victory is the blood of Jesus. The enemy is always seeking for ways to get men to stumble as they run the race of life, his temptations can come in many subtle shapes and forms, that sometimes a man may not even immediately realize that a pit has been dug for his feet. But when we release The Blood of Jesus, it becomes a weapon of mass destruction that locates every satanic devise and trap and destroys them from our path. Yes, the enemy may gather against us, but as they gather, so also shall they surely fall for our sake. Indeed we have the victory by the blood of Jesus.

Revelation 12;11  says ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives to the death.’

By the blood we can overcome any challenge from the regions of darkness. By the blood we have the power to overcome every spiritual gang-up against our destiny. Let us therefore learn to plead the blood against the force of sin or any contrary thing contesting our glorious destiny. Indeed by the blood of the covenant we have been brought out of every water-less pit, including the pit of sin, sickness, poverty, ill favor etc. Truly by the blood we are more than conquerors.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for making me an overcomer in every battle of life.  Indeed by the power in the blood of Jesus I have overcome the force of sin and every contrary thing contesting my glorious destiny. in Jesus Name.
