Exodus 7:1 “And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.” (KJV)
Victory in spiritual warfare begins with the understanding of your spiritual identity in Christ. You are a son of God, which is the highest and most respected status in the realm of the spirit. Today, many of us have not yet grasped the import of our son-ship. The religious people of Jesus’ day knew better. When Jesus Christ declared before them, that He is the Son of God, they were provoked, and they attempted to stone Him.
When Jesus asked them the reason for their reaction, the Jews answered Him, saying …because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.” In response Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”‘? A son carries the status and enjoys the authority of his father. When we go into the place of warfare as sons of God, we are going with all of heaven’s authority, and we become invincible to the enemy.
When God was sending Moses to Pharaoh, He did not send him as Moses, He sent him as a god. The Lord said to Moses: “See, I have made you as a god to Pharaoh”. In other words, if you must confront and conquer the enemy, you cannot go as a son of man, but as a son of God. I am sending you, not as Moses, because, as Moses you ran away from Pharaoh, but I am sending you as a god.
Our spiritual identity must be exalted above our natural identity, for victory not to elude us in the place of warfare. There are some challenges that you have confronted in your status as a natural man, that you need to go back to and face as a child of God with the authority of your Father. There is a spirit behind every obstacle standing on your path of destiny; it takes you confronting them as a god to overcome. No Pharaoh can withstand you, when you rise up as child of God, in the place of prayer and address them with authority, in the name of Jesus Christ.
