Enemies Become Footstools

David prophesied in Psalm concerning what God said to Jesus Christ after he conquered death on the cross. “Sit until I make your enemies your footstool.” We know that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the father and he is daily making intercession for us. The greater one in us is greater than he that is in the world. The Prince of the world hates us because we belong to Jesus. The Devil wants so badly to sift us like wheat. But Jesus has prayed for us that our faith will not fail. And after we have overcome, we strengthen other saints around us (Luke 22:31-32).
Our victory is set because the greater one is fighting for us. The battle belongs to God so we do not try to fight in our own strength. Our battle position is prayer and worship while we submit ourselves and trust God to gain victory on our behalf. All things on earth are subject to the lordship of Jesus Christ. “And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church” (Ephesians 1:22).
We are also seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, far above principalities and powers (Ephesians 2:6). Our sitting with Christ means that the enemy is under our feet. Our seating gives us a vantage point and a place of rest. We do not need to fight in our own strength but rest in Jesus. No evil will overcome us when we understand who we are in Christ Jesus.
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows” (Psalm 23:5).

I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession. Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm. I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing. I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.
