Principalities and Powers
“For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.” Ephesians 6:12 AMPC emphasis added.
Despotisms : same word as principalities in other versions. Greek756 arche –
a commencement or concretely Chief ( in various applications of order, time, place or rank) – beginning, corner, first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule.
Arche : “The term is also used in religious texts, such as the New Testament, where it signifies the origin of creation , the first place or rule, and is applied to Christ as the ultimate source and ruler.” (©Brave)
“For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers 39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 AMPC.
“[God] disarmed the principalities andpowers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]y” Colossians 2:15 AMPC.
“My People need to understand the Power and Authority I have given them to destroy powers and principalities over the areas they have influence.
This Power however, is not to be used in presumption!
I have given ALL Power to My Son, and He has delegated that to all who follow Him.
To follow Him, means to listen to Him and obey Him to the best of your ability, given The Grace that you have received, and are constantly receiving, as you ask for it.
Intimacy is the priority, and out of that intimacy flows direction from Me.
In the midst of your Praises, your Worship, My Glory comes!
As My Glory comes, I can speak to you, can direct you in Prayer and Declarations.
But it is not only in Prayer and Declarations that they are brought down, but in your obedience also to the things I tell you to do.
It is in the ways you follow me in reaching out to those around you because it is part of your armor.
The Shoes of The Gospel of peace are worn by those who testify for Me who reach out and touch others with the good news of The Gospel.
If you are not reaching out, your authority is less than someone who will lay down their pride and self-centeredness to care for another’s soul.
It is in not being intimidated by demons, like fear of death, fear of lash-back etc.
You are called to fruitfulness! Remember how Jesus told the parable of the talents? (Matthew 25:14–30, Luke 19:11–27)
The one who hid his blessing and did nothing with it, was rebuked and chastised — and those who multiplied theirs, were given more!
Some are only called to a small circle, like their family and friends while others are called to change neighborhoods, or cities, or states and nations.
Each person has a unique calling as far as witnessing, and you need to remember, in this hour the meaning of that word “Witness”!”
“And you will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a witness to bear testimony before them and to the Gentiles (the nations).” Matthew 10:18 AMPC emphasis added.
Marturion : G3142 : Something evidential, evidence given or specially, the Decalogue (in the sacred Tabernacle) – testimony, witness.
“From the baptism of John at the outset until the day when He was taken up from among us — one of these men must join with us and become a witness to testify to His resurrection.” Acts 1:22 AMPC emphasis added.
Witness : G3144 : here is the greek martus — a martyr, record, witness
“When the Apostles entered towns and cities, there was a divine confrontation, and it will be so in this hour as well!
For you were called to shake kingdoms and the demons over them.
Some of you have already been enduring the call to witness for Me to others, and have endured much treachery in The Church as well as by the spirits on unbelievers.
This is because, although many of you cannot see them, they — the demons — see you!
They hear you. They see the light in you when you are in the grocery store, or walking around the neighborhood or countryside.
The witches who are in your Churches see your light, and are stirred to pray against you.
Those also on the internet see you, sense your spirit.
They also may launch prayers against you.
So many have been paying the cost for what is coming as the days unfold.
Praise Me in the midst of the suffering and darkness.
Sing , a new song, worship Me for I AM coming like a mighty rushing wind again, and nothing can stop Me!
This is My World. These are My Nations. This is My Creation.
Remember how We destroyed the first Tower of Babel? They are building it again, but their plans are being destroyed!
So build My Kingdom — as spoken of in Daniel.“
“And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of [baked] clay [of the potter], so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle and broken.
And as you saw the iron mixed with miry and earthen clay, so they shall mingle themselves in the seed of men [in marriage bonds]; but they will not hold together [for two such elements or ideologies can never harmonize], even as iron does not mingle itself with clay.
And in the days of these [final ten] kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever.
Just as you saw that the Stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. The dream is certain and the interpretation of it is sure.” Daniel 2:42-45.
“Be unafraid, for I AM with you and will lead you each step you take.
Judgments are in the earth that people will learn righteousness as many have turned far away. But I have promised My Own to be with you until the end of all time.
Believe! For all is at hand!”
The Father of All Mercies, The Father of Lights!
“I AM your Father, the Father of all mercies, the Father of lights,” says The LORD.
“I have birthed you into My Family because of your faith in Me, and the finished work on The Cross for you.
“You are My beloved child. I purposed to redeem you. I purchased you, and I brought you out of the prison of hopelessness, and gave you eternal life.
“Your hope is founded upon your Faith and trust in Me and My infallible word, and it is alive and everlasting, just as I have given you everlasting life,” says The LORD.
“Darkness and defeat are no longer a part of you, because I have translated you into My kingdom of light,” says The LORD.
“Light is in you and surrounds you, and have become light, just as I AM Light. I have given you the Gift of Light that cannot be put out.
“I have planted you into the marvelous light of My Kingdom, and you cannot be uprooted.
“Rejoice and be glad, for you have permanency in Me. I will make you a radiant beam of light in the dark regions of the earth that will draw others onto Me, and they will come alive in Me, and be taken out of dead and unproductive works to serve Me in My Kingdom that is without end,” says The LORD.
Prayer
Thank You LORD, for the hope that I have in You. I have known you to be faithful and true since my youth, and You have never failed me.
You are with me always, and I can put my trust in You, no matter what!
You have brought me through many trials and tests in the past, and provisioned me daily all the days of my life, and I know that you will help me now and always.
Your unimpeachable love and presence comfort me, and in these uncertain times, I have blessed assurance that you are with me always.
