“For the Lord has
chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. This is My rest for ever: here will I dwell;
for I have desired it.” Psalm 132:13-14
As we begin to worship, we enter into a state
of rest, for we have come to the end of all that relates to ourselves. We are lifted above our thanking the Lord in
praise for all that He has done for us and has given to us; and we ascend into
a high level of worship that flows up to the Throne in an expression of pure
love to the Lord.
The heart of
spiritual warfare is worship. It is not
our pronouncements, casting out, or our trying to command principalities, that
will cleanse the heavens. Rather, it is
our worship that flows up and unites with the harmony of heaven that will
defeat them. When we come together in
union, and enter into this high level of worship, we literally “bring down”
principalities from their place of control.
Judicially, we are
seated with Christ in heavenly places.
However, experientially, we must come up into this place of spiritual
authority, as the enemy is entrenched there.
Therefore, he has to be pushed out.
We can do this because we have the right to be there, not the enemy.
“To the intent that
now to the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the
church the manifold wisdom of God.”
Ephesians 3:10
