Lord of Mars Hill

Wednesday, April 27, 2022

The Jewish people considered Mars Hill, in the Greek world, as pagan, a place to avoid. But, Paul was grieved when he saw the idols, because the place really belonged to God. He spoke to the people on Mars Hill as if they were made in the image of God and belonged to God, calling them to be accountable; to repent. We need to do the same. We concede sinful people to the enemy, and by doing so, we grant the enemy full ownership. We stay away, not trying to win them over. That devilish person doesn't belong to the devil; that satanic place doesn't belong to Satan. That sinful person doesn't belong to sin, but to the Lord. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. That means you can't concede or relinquish them or accept them as lost or as enemies. You have every right to intervene, challenge them, call them, lift them out of the pit, confront the enemy's false ownership; bring them to the Lord alone. Fight the good fight. Go to Mars Hill, my friend, win them over. For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.
