THEY’RE JUST WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNE TIME
This is just a reminder that what happened this week is not about politics. It’s about defeating spiritual wickedness in high places over this nation. To post about the outcome is not necessarily a commentary on any individual or party, but on overcoming the demonic agendas at work in every sphere of our culture.
That being said…if we truly believe we are in a spiritual war, we may have just won a major battle, but the war is not over. Yes, our victory has already been secured through Christ in the heavenlies, but on the ground, we still have work to do. The spiritual adversary that seeks to finish his plans for our destruction, is not going away easily…
“…and he departed…until an opportune time.”
Luke 4:13 ESV
When the devil wasn’t able to defeat Jesus the first time in the wilderness, it says he just left until another “opportune time.” This is what the enemy does when he loses. He lurks in the shadows and quietly plots another scheme, for another time, thinking to simply change his appearance in hopes of fooling his prey.
Those who have been opposing God’s laws have just experienced a major defeat. They are now lurking in the shadows, looking for an opportune time. Instead of accepting their lot, they are looking for another path on which to continue their destructive plans. Jesus recognized His accuser every time, whether it came through the Pharisees (Matt 23:24-26) or His best friend (Matt 16:23). We must do the same.
We must continue to be on watch for the enemy’s attempts to steal, kill, and destroy God’s purposes for this nation. But just like Jesus did, we can rightly discern the spirit behind any coming accusations, threats, or ultimatums. We can look beyond appearances and detect the source from which the threats come. And with the same confidence and boldness of Jesus, we can resist the demonic forces at work and demand their exit.
We’ve been fooled a lot in past years, unable to recognize the evil spirit behind certain agendas. We should know better now. Let’s be on guard and ready our hearts and minds to stand in faith and remain unmoved in our mission ahead. There is a destiny to be fulfilled and a nation to deliver. And by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, we will overcome.
