Who Do We Worship?
By Rick L King
Jan 18, 2011

Yes, we have an enemy and yes we wrestle not against flesh and blood. I am the first to admit that there are demonic forces out there that as a Christian we often must face. Yet, I have learned something over the years. Who do we focus upon? Who do we give glory too?

Maybe you had not considered this, so I am gonna write it down just in case. God kicked Lucifer out of heaven, correct? He gave him the earth to dwell on, correct? He also says that the battle is not ours. Here is the interesting thing about the Lord. He allowed the enemy to rule on earth. Yet, when warfare is done the enemy loses his hold. Here is the kicker. If we are following the leading of the Holy Spirit, then who is doing the warfare? It is not us, but God. God deals with the enemy through submitted believers. The Lord once told me this. It is NOT a demon unless I tell you that it is. So often we get on this demon hunting kick. We seem to get consumed with talking about what the enemy is doing instead of what the Lord is doing. Which is uplifting? Which glorifies the Lord?

Lu 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

We are to rejoice in Jesus and what He has done for us. This is a focus. We can focus on that God through us deals with evil spirits or we can rejoice that our names are written in Heaven. I see this as we can dwell on the good or on the bad. I think sometimes we get too focussed on what the evil is doing and it takes our joy and excitement in Jesus. It is not that the enemy does not exist or is up to things, but it is we only deal with him as God leads. We must stay aware but yet not focus. I would rather spend my time in praise and worship of the one that set me free from the enemy’s grasp. God is worthy of Praise and glory; the enemy isn’t.
