Ps. Noe's reminder that we are overcomers has been resonating with me. You see, it's not the first time I've been taught about or reminded of the power of heaven that's been placed in us. The first time was at a woman's conference when Ps. Betsy DeTeirre reminded us of the significance of our "clothing." She pointed out that the Bible tells us that God removes our robes of shame and guilt only to replace them with robes of righteousness and overcoming! And to emphasize this she had us stand, picture the things that weigh us down with guilt and shame as we "removed" that robe, and then remember Christ's resurrection and any time that He has helped us overcome as we "put on" this regal robe. This was a pretty amazing experience and it's not very often that we think about the attitude we're wearing! Not to mention, spiritual clothing is not often talked about, but it's very Biblical.
But, Ps. Noe's marching demonstration really reminded me of an amazing experience at an international conference for leaders. It was at the beginning of this conference that the founder of C3Church sense we needed to battle before we got the week started. So he reminded us that the power and authority that raised Christ from the dead lives within us! Then he had us stand, grab our swords from our scabbards, thrust them in the air, and give our loudest, fiercest battle cry as we pictured the Holy Spirit conquering the demons that were holding us back! Let me tell you, that conference room was loud as hundreds of us cried out with the power of heaven and slayed whatever was in our way! It truly was an overwhelming experience of overcoming!! And, after our voice died down, Ps. Phil proclaimed our victory as he said he could almost smell the blood of the demons that were slain! (A bit graphic, but the Bible tells us it really is a battle.)
