Clear The Toxins

Words or deeds that contradict God’s will infect an atmosphere and become part of the power of the air. The prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2) strives to do damage with pierce atmospherethe creative forces that men release and manifest in the earth. Countering clears the toxins from an atmosphere as surely as the contradictions toxify it. Let’s break this down. You can hear a statement on TV saying, “The polls show Candidate “C” is leading and headed for the White House.” We can feel disgust and gripe and allow that political agenda to be considered as a shoo- in, thereby leaving despair and despondency in the atmosphere that takes the fight out of others or confirms thoughts of not voting or starts a crop of fear that will bear fruit for generations! Or, we can take action and counter with a proclamation, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in this nation, Lord,” or “Lord, let discernment and wisdom paralyze media manipulation in America today.” Our agreement with His will on earth gives God legal access to take action.

Just Pull What God Points Out

I was talking to Melissa on her way to work the morning after the download about the “power of the air.”  Before I could tell her pull your pieceabout it, she said,  “Mom, there is something in the air.  I have been pacing restlessly for the last three days because of what I am sensing.”   I then told her about the insight on Eph. 2:2.  That confirmed the warfare status. She responded,  “We can’t be intimidated by principalities.  The problem is we feel we have to go after the whole thing, but we don’t.”  All we have to do is just pierce the piece God points out.  She said it is like a Jenga game.  Just pull the precise piece that is your part of the tumbling of a principality.  I came away equipped with a solid battle strategy: don’t be overwhelmed by the size or tenure of the enemy, just pull the piece God points out . . . or just  thump the highlighted domino.

The Power Of The Air

Clouds cityThe scripture, Eph 2:2 came to mind as I realized my friends were  battling the  “prince of the power of the air.”  I went to search out that scripture wanting to get a working definition and understand “the power of the air.”   That verse in Ephesians indicates the power of the air to be enemy occupation in an atmosphere.  When the power of the air is infested like that, it can cause the culture to fester and draw flies like the imaginings and thoughts and opinions of men and their unbelief, rebellion, arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.   The power of the air is atmospheric conditions that affect people daily either positively because it is receptive to God or negatively because the power of the air has successfully been contaminated and made toxic.
