It’s The Law

Too often, we try to fight spiritual battles with natural weapons.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV)

If you drop something, anything, what happens? It falls. Every time. Whether it’s a bowling ball or a feather, gravity takes over. The only difference is how quickly it falls.

That’s because gravity is a law. You don’t have to believe in it, understand it, or feel it for it to work, it simply is. But here’s the thing: even a law like gravity can be overridden by another law, the Law of Lift. Every time a plane takes off, the Law of Lift supersedes the Law of Gravity. Let’s say an airplane needs to reach 250 mph to take off. Once it hits that speed, the wings adjust, and the plane rises, not because gravity stopped working, but because a higher law kicked in.

In the same way, the enemy tries to apply his own laws to your life: laws of fear, lack, depression, defeat. He whispers that you’re too weighed down, too broken, that your runway is too short. But every one of his attempts can be overridden by a spiritual law from the Word of God.

This is why Paul reminds us that our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. We’re not wrestling with natural issues, we’re confronting spiritual forces. And the laws that govern the spiritual realm override the natural realm every time.

Too often, we try to fight spiritual battles with natural weapons. We use worry, logic, anger, and control, then wonder why we’re still stuck on the runway. But you can’t fight with flesh what must be conquered in faith. You need to know what law is in effect, and then apply God’s higher law to it.

Take your finances, for example. In Malachi 3:10, God says: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse… Test me in this… and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven…”

On paper, it may not make sense. Your calculator may say it’s impossible. But God’s law overrides your spreadsheet. He’s not bound by your numbers, He’s bound by His Word.

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2 (NKJV)

Some of us are racing down the runway at 249 mph, wondering why we’re not airborne, flaps still up, never applying the Law of Lift.

So ask yourself: What law is governing your life right now? The law of fear or the law of faith? The law of defeat or the law of victory?

God’s law is higher and has authority to override worldly laws. Apply it, and take off.

TODAY’S BATTLE ORDERS

Identify one “enemy law” currently pulling you down, fear, lack, defeat, shame. Then find the “higher law” in Scripture that overrides it. Write that verse down and label it “MY FLIGHT PLAN.” Every time the enemy whispers that you’re grounded, say out loud: “The Law of the Spirit has made me free. I am not stuck, I am lifting off.”

WEAPON CHECK

The Weapon of the Higher Law

In the natural, laws are fixed. In the Spirit, laws are hierarchical. Romans 8:2 says, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” This weapon is your override switch. You don’t argue with the weight of your circumstances, you simply engage the Law of the Spirit. This weapon destroys the feeling of being stuck. When you realize that God’s Word isn’t a suggestion but a law that the universe must obey, you stop looking at the ground and start looking at the horizon.

CHECKPOINT

What law is governing your life right now? Are you living by the law of fear or the law of faith? The law of defeat or the law of victory?

Faith is the throttle that gets you to the speed of lift. Don’t let the enemy convince you that what you’re carrying is heavier than the wind beneath God’s wings. Push through the resistance. Apply the Word, adjust your flaps through prayer, and watch the natural laws lose their grip.

Are you ready to stop wrestling with the ground and start trusting the air?
