The crown of God’s Glory has always and will forever be the creation of mankind. We were created in His image and after His likeness. Psalm 8:4-5 says, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou has made him a little lower than the angels, And has crowned him with glory and honor.” Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
When God created man, He gave us the “gift of choice.” This is what made mankind unique and a step above the other creations. We were created to reign over the earth, as we align ourselves with God’s voice. God wanted family, and mankind is the 4th part of the Godhead positioned in the earth realm. Satan hates mankind because we took his place, and the position of elevation that once was his, now belongs to us. Satan’s MO is to get mankind to use their “gift of choice” separately from what God said. Like Adam, God spoke to Him, but Eve offered another suggestion to the equation, which now presents the choice. The enemy wages war against God’s WORD. If he can get us to defile God’s word, then he robs us from walking in our inheritance,
which makes him a thief. Darkness filled the earth by way of the choices mankind made. The battle the church must engage in, is the battle against darkness.
God uses man to do His bidding and fulfill His agenda on the earth. However, if we are independently operating separate from God, then we are interrupting His agenda. Light and dark devises in the heart of man, where choices are made. Our fight and all that is taking place on the earth is not about people, the government, or the systems; but it is the war against darkness. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers (Eph 6).
The war over darkness, is to war over the internal conversations that keeps you in defeat, stuck, in pain, and bound. The enemy sits in the unhealed hurts and unresolved issues in our lives. Jesus Christ paid the price and died on Calvary for every issue that we would ever face, and when we learn how to appropriate the freedom, He purchased for us; then we can let go of old conversations that opposes God’s truth.
Finally beloved, know that the enemies' control over our lives is to focus on what we see, instead of facing the real enemy which is the one we don’t see. Perfect (mature) love cast out fear.
