Read Psalm 121:1-6 from your Bible
This passage is an eye opener in that it shows us that there are evils in the night and in the day.
In other words, it shows that the sun can smite by day while the moon can smite by night. There are forces that operate with the power of the sun and the moon. These powers perform evil assignments in the lives of their victims.
The fact that evil powers draw and utilise the power of the sun and the moon in order to destroy and attack human beings as well as inanimate objects is further brought out in the book of Judges.
Read Judges 5:20 from your Bible
It is clear that the devil often tries to counterfeit whatever God does. Therefore, the devil has been drawing upon the powers of the heavens and the elements to fight men and women. The stars fought against Sisera at God’s command. The devil is still fighting against people today by manipulating the powers of the heavenlies.
Isaiah 27:3 provides more insight in this direction.
This passage shows us that men and women are prone to danger in the night and in the day.
The Lord has decided to protect His people because He is aware of the fact that there are wicked people who tap the power of the moon and the sun using it to harm people in the day and in the night. That is why He categorically stated that “l will keep it night and day.”
I hope the picture is becoming clearer to you now. So far, we have discovered that God initially created the sun, the moon and the stars to rule over the day and the night (Genesis 1:14-19).
But the devil and its agents have established demonic strongholds which draw their powers from the sun, the moon and the stars. Human beings today are now drawing power from the heavenlies and using it to cause havoc in the community.
The sun and the moon were created by the Almighty to perform some specific functions. However, the devil has succeeded in making use of the power of the sun, the moon and the stars turning it to weapons of destruction or attack.
In my next write-up, I will be revealing The Forces of the Night and The Forces of the Day.
I will give you Prayer points at the end of the series of teaching on this topic.
Shalom!
