Waging War in the Spiritual Realms
We are the Lord’s Army on earth; we are under our commander the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus has given us authority to wage war in spiritual realms, advancing the Gospel of Christ. Satan understand the battle, he knows when the Gospel advances, he and the fallen angels loose. Therefore, the battle rages for the souls of humanity, Satan seeks to keep souls captive, in darkness, while Christ through His people chooses to free the captives.
When Jesus was in the synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus read from the book of Isaiah, declaring the fulfillment of the following scripture (Luke 4:17-21).
The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, Isaiah 61:1-2a
Jesus came to free the captives, every lost person is a captive of Satan, as the Lord’s army we represent the kingdom of God, in a lost and fallen world.
