We do not war according to the flesh. We war in the spirit, against wicked principalities and rulers in heavenly places. This war is not fought with human weapons. No we war according to the strategy set forth by the King of King and Lord of Lord's, He who has all dominion, power and authority, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Son of Man. And how did He war and triumph mightily over his adversary; over Satan himself and all of wicked demons??
In HUMILITY and LOVE He defeated them ON THE CROSS. Submission to the will of the Father, in LOVE. Face set like flint to finish the work, the laying down of His life, motivated by LOVE.
All of Hell trembles when they encounter Believers, followers of Christ, those whom have been with Jesus, who LOVE just as He LOVES. These Christ followers love not their own lives, even unto death, expressing their love for God, even if the direct result is death. They love people and lay their own life down, even as Jesus loves people and laid His own life down.
HUMILITY AND LOVE DISARMS ALL THE POWERS OF HELL! What can Hell do with a Christian that's truly dead to self and alive for one reason and one reason, to love God and love others!
Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
1 Corinthians 13:6
"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth."
God commanded us to LOVE, not to be mistaken with being NICE. Love always speaks the truth. Feelings may be hurt, people ay get offended, but ultimately, the goal is truth, and honoring God. We do not side with lies, no matter what the culture says or deems as acceptable; that would not be love. Love is always tethered to the truth, no matter the consequence.
So, let us love as Jesus!
