UV 327/10,000 Amazing principles of the Uni-verse revealed verse by verse Jeremiah 51 v 20 Believers are the battle axe of God Jer 51:20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms We are the battle axe and the weapons of war of the Lord. We are a mighty weapon in the hand of the Lord. A battle axe is a very heavy weapon. It requires strength to wield it and skill and precision in using it. We need to build up our spiritual strength and stamina as well as our skills and precision in aiming our weapons strategically. As the expression goes, we need to go for the jugular. By our constant prayers the kingdoms of darkness, the strongholds of evil will be stormed, shaken and destroyed. Imagine by our prayers the destiny of whole nations are affected! By our prayers, we are striking at the root of mighty trees of evil. By our commands in the authority of the Lord, they are driven into disarray. By claiming the specific promises of God in any given situation on any given day and at any given time, we can overcome every power of darkness. The powers of darkness are behind every human problem whether it is conflict, poverty, crimes, violence, adultery, curses, disbelief, exploitation and oppression. These are the mountains and hills that stand in the way of God’s people reaching the land of promises. We will be used to make the mountains into hills and the hills into chaff. Recently, the Lord told me, “ You are a violent warrior. What you think, you speak and what you speak happens.” We are not warring against flesh and blood but against the spiritual powers of darkness, the principalities and strongholds of the enemy of human souls. There is a hierarchy of forces of darkness that rule over nations. As an evangelist once told me, “ The real world is the spiritual world. If you want any change to happen in the physical world, you must first see it happen in the spiritual world. Zion or the Kingdom of God alone is not shakeable. All other nations and kingdoms are shakeable. The authoritative use of God’s Word in conjunction with targeted faithful prayer can change the course of events of history and expedite the fulfillment of God’s will on earth. The Lord will use us to set free His people from Egyptian bondages and Babylonian captivities. Jesus is the Battle Axe in the battles we fight on earth while are His battle axe in the battles He fights in the heavens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0r1X0Qh38I Prateep V Philip
