The King of Glory

"Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty; The LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates; Lift them up, You ancient doors; That the King of Glory may come in. Who is He? This King of Glory? The LORD Almighty--He is the King of Glory. Selah." Psalm 24:7

My goodness. That Psalm BLOWS me AWAY. I mean doesn't it do that to you?? King David had such a way with words. I love how he CAPITALIZED the LORD'S name in those verses. He did that to put emphasis on the answer to the question he had just asked. It is the LORD that is the King of Glory. David wanted us to reflect on this sooo much that he put "Selah" at the end of that verse. That means to pause and reflect on what was just said.

I need to know that the King of Glory is the LORD mighty in battle every moment of every second of every day of my life. I have so many battles, seen and unseen, that it is a great comfort to know who really fights them for me. Yeah, I think we tend to gravitate towards thinking we are such warriors. You kiddin' me? Only through Christ. The last time a demon came around me, if I could've fit under my bed, I would've hid there. But that was not 'bouts ta happen! LOL.

The LORD came upon me and was like, "Excuse me? You are PERFECTED in my love..so that fear is CAST away." WOW. In a flat second, I began to speak in the Holy Ghost and call that evil presence dismissed in the NAME above EVERY NAME..the KING of GLORY, who is the LORD. Those are those battles that are WAY too big for me. Demonic powers are not to be reckoned with, unless one is clothed with the LORD. I am so grateful it is HIS power we call upon, because in and of ourselves we have zero power. Remember those jokers that tried to cast out demons in the bible..using Jesus' name??? They got beat so bad that they were butt-naked by the time the spirits were done with them. But it's what the evil spoke to them, "Jesus we know, and Paul we know, but WHO ARE YOU?????"

OH JESUS! THANK YOU THAT WE KNOW YOU! THANK YOU THAT NO EVIL POWER CAN WITHSTAND THE KING OF GLORY! THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE MIGHTY IN BATTLE!

Sisters, I got a whole bunch going on right now. I am sure you do, too. Physical, emotional, spiritual, kids, house, husband, the dog, the cat, the mouse, the fish...and the Maker's Diet. Yeah, it's all going on. But on days like today, where I wish I could sail away on a clear blue ocean to nowhere, I am rest assured that a FORCE is backing me up in this war far greater than I can ever imagine. The LORD is His Name. He has my back. My front. My left. My right. He IS the KING OF GLORY, and HIS NAME IS JESUS.

Selah.
