Read: 2 Corinthians 2:5-6:13
Paul explains why we are seeing the opposition to God’s kingdom coming down to earth right now in America. Second Corinthians 2:15 says that we are a sweet savour of Christ to God and those who are in Christ, but we are the savour of death to those who aren’t. We are friends of God but enemies to the world. Our new president is a new believer who is like David who had to fight many battles to come into his kingdom. It finally came down to the fact that Saul and his sons had to die. Even Jonathan had to die to give the kingdom to David. I am not predicting anyone’s death in the natural but I am in the spiritual. Our job of intercession and spiritual battle is not going to be over until Jesus comes back. We need to be on our faces now as much or more than before the election. The devil is not going to give up without a fight.
Like Paul said, our sufficiency is of God who made us able ministers of the new covenant that brings life. God is wanting to birth his kingdom on earth and it is a travailing and painful birthing time we are in. It reminds me of the birthing of our nation the first time. It came through pain, suffering, bloodshed, and much prayer. Ours is going to come through the same. The early colonists fought their own people, the British, to gain a new land of freedom and liberty for all. We are at that same battleground, fighting our own people but this time, lets realize who our enemy really is, the devil, and lets defeat him in the heavenlies. In the Spirit of the Lord there is liberty, so lets look through God’s eyes and see the promised land that lies before us and be very strong and courageous.
Lord, we renounce all the hidden things of dishonesty, sin and deceit and pray that You would manifest your truth to every man’s conscience. Open the eyes of the unbeliever and the believer to see the things that eternal and long for righteousness. Bring a harvest of souls and raise up an army of believers who will march boldly against the enemy and win!
