“Clothed In Strength”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 93

Ephesians 6:10-18 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”

In Egypt, the then Church (Israel) was told to be clothed in strength.

Exodus 12:11 “And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover.”

Their wrestle in Egypt was not against flesh and blood but spiritual powers in high places. What covered them was the strength of God which was the blood on their doorpost.

The wrestle of the Church today is against the same spiritual powers and principalities. It will take the Blood of Christ on the doorpost of our hearts, and exhibiting the strength of God by standing on His Word, His Truth, His Righteousness, and His Salvation. Led by one Spirit,the Holy Spirit ,Who was the Pillar of fire that led  in the wilderness.

God clothed in strength.

Let’s read:

Psalm 93:1 “The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.”

The Believer is united with God by the Blood of Jesus Christ. The strength of God becomes the strength of the Believer in this unity.
The power and strength of God is displayed in the Blood of Jesus Christ. This is what defeats every power and principality.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 93:2-4 “Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. [3] The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. [4] The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.”

He has set a standard against the flood of the enemy. A flood that cannot overtake the Believer who is in unity with God through the Blood.

Isaiah 59:19 “So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.”

No weapon formed against the Believer in unity with God ,through the Blood, shall prosper.
None!

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 93:5 “Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.”

Today, we are the house of God, indwelled by His Holy Spirit through the work of the BLOOD.

Be clothed in the strength of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Unity through the Blood is our strength of God, in Christ!
