As a child I always wondered if fairy tales were true, I wanted reassurance that the evil creatures (dragons) were be defeated.
Today, I look at the war I am in as a Christian, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NKJV.
Have you accepted as normal something that is abnormal?
- Sickness (physical or mental)
- Uncontrolled emotions (anxiety, depression, fear, etc)
- Family struggles/disputes
- Generational sicknesses
- Broken relationships/Broken hearts that do not appear to heal
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
I have the full reassurance that evil is defeated. Revelation 20:1-3 says, “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.”
1 Corinthians 15:26 says, “The last enemy that will be abolished is death.”
