The Anti-Archay

Wednesday, October 21, 2020

In warfare, you don't appoint a private to fight a general - you appoint a general. So the Book of Ephesians tells us we're at war with a specific kind of enemy in the spiritual realm. The English reads "principalities," but the Greek word is "archay." An archay is a chief, boss, head, or top ranking power. In a war, an archay is a general. So you have been appointed to fight generals. What does that make you in God? It makes you the equivalent of a general! That means, in the spiritual realm, by the power of God, you are mighty! It means that in the spiritual realm, you're a commander. It means you can't live as one with no or little authority... as one who is ruled over by sin, or fear, or despair. You've been given great authority - And to fail to exercise that authority is a sin. To obey God, we must fully use the authority He has given us. Therefore, start acting like a general. Start using the authority of the Word, of His name, and of His power. For not only are you on the winning side - but you're a general.
