toy tanks and tiny missiles

Many years ago I heard a teacher talking about the power and authority believers have in Christ, whom God has given authority over every spiritual power and every other name that can be named (Ephesians 1.19-23).  He used the imagery of that great, sometimes hokey movie monster, Godzilla, heading toward the town while the army throws all they've got at him.  In his metaphor, however, we are Godzilla and the enemy is the the army on the ground, armed only with toy tanks and minuscule missiles.

Take a look at the clip I've uploaded in this post.  Let it give you another metaphor and further "open the eyes of your heart" for the power that  is ours in Christ Jesus - the power Paul prays we will know in his opening prayer in Ephesians 1.15-23.  Our enemy the devil wants to stop us, but in Christ we are the ones with the power; we are the ones who cannot be stopped, and the enemy will throw everything he's got at us.  But it has no effect.  We just keep coming!  We are victorious because Christ is victorious.

This week, as you seek to live into and out of that great, incomparable power God has given us today, I pray the vision of Godzilla heading into battle in the week ahead, undaunted by toy tanks and tiny missiles, gives you a sense of who we are in Christ.   Giant.  Unstoppable.  Moving forward into battle.  Live faithfully!  Live fully!  Live Dangerously!
