Let God Arise

Devotions:

      “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        God created us for freedom, freedom from those things that would hurt us and destroy us.  In the original creation in Eden, there was no pain, sighing, crying or dying.  There was no lack or want.  It was at the introduction of sin that all that is harmful and destructive entered into the creation. The master mind behind all of this was Satan. God's will is complete harmony and bliss.  That is what He sent Jesus to do, to restore the bliss and harmony of heaven.  There are still people to reach here on earth who knowingly or unknowingly yield to Satan and his evil. 

        But God defeated Satan on the cross of Jesus and paid the full price for alll of our sins.  He made us righteousness with His righteousness so that we could boldly come into His presence to receive help in the time of need.  As His presence is manifest then the bondage of Satan will flee.  The more that we not only come into the presence of our Father but that we host His presence in our day to day life.

        Originally this phrase we find here in Psalm 68:1 was spoken by Moses everytime that the children of Israel would break camp to move to another place in their 40 years in the desert.  Moses spoke this after he received the promise from God that God would go with them in their journeys.  How much more for us that we have not only God with us but also in us.  So we acknowledge His presence as we go in our day to day lives and expect His presence to help, protect, keep and liberate us.  When we gather with other believers there should be a synergy of His presence which is greater than the individual accumulative parts.  This greater anointing then brings a greater liberation of the wounds and scars of Satan and brings us more into the love of the Father.
