Back in the very beginning of the recorded History of Man's days upon the earth, in the Bible, it is written in Genesis 1, that God created the Heavens and the earth. we are told that at the time, earth was unformed, void and darkness was on the face of the deep. His Spirit hoovered over the surface of the water (like a hen brooding over her eggs).
But then it says, God SAID, "Let there be light!".
God saw that the light was GOOD and God divided the Light from the Darkness! As the creation story continues, we read where the sun and moon were not created until the 4th day. So, what is this "Light" that came when He said Let there be Light?
Looking back to the Hebrew word for this "Light", I find the word in Hebrew to be "OHR", and that word translates to mean, "to bring order out of chaos". By inference then, "darkness' is chaos and 'light' is order.
Jesus is described as "The LIGHT of the world". He is the OHR and the one who brought and brings order out of chaos. This is an amazing clue regarding how to intercede for what we see as chaos and evil controlling our world and where trust, belief, and faith enter the equation and lead to our victory.
Given that we are to co-labor with Yahweh our Creator in the government of His created world and understanding that while the "battle belongs to the Lord", 2 Chronicles 20:15, we have a part to play. What is our part and what are the weapons that we fight with that are not carnal but Divine? 2 Corinthians 10:4
Reading about Creation, God "said", and it was. In the earthly discussion of war and peace, it has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword. The pen is used to write down "words" so in agreement with the God of all creation, we can agree "words" have power to create or destroy. "Life and death are in the power of the tongue". Proverbs 18:21.
Jesus said in Luke 10:19, "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you!" "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal (worldly) but mighty through God to the bringing down of strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4 Our weapons are the truth of God's Word (the sword of the Spirit) against the lies of the enemy.
Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us that our battle is not against flesh and blood humans, but rather against the rulers and authorities that govern the darkness in the world. Darkness is, in reality, the absence of light.
Given this expose of the true enemy and the truth that we have a part to play in the battle between the Kingdom of our God and the kingdom of the enemy, we can and must employ our powerful weapons: our WORDS, declarations, proclamations that serve notice to the enemy that he and his wicked agenda are subject to our authority, as delegated to us by Jesus.
Today and from here on we need to declare over our nation and our world:
LET THERE BE LIGHT !!!
Abba Father, Let the Light of Your Holiness PIERCE the darkness that the evil fallen Elohim governs, exposing what wickedness lies within so necessary accountability and correction can take place. May we take up the sword of the Spirit and use it powerfully for Your glory and our victory here on earth. Please enforce the delegated authority you have given us as we declare our dominion over the power of the enemy and thereby enjoy the peaceful order Your ways and ruling authority brings to our lives. In Yeshua's Name.
The Holy Spirit is calling. Can you hear Him?
