Genesis 14: The War, the Rescue, the Blessing

We are engaged in spiritual warfare, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. We have been given weaponry which are not carnal (fleshly or worldly) but are mighty through God for pulling down strongholds, casting down imaginations, and bringing every though into captivity to the obedience of Christ. In Genesis 14 there are lessons we can learn about faith and divine sovereignty, courageous leadership and decisive actions, preparedness and strategic thinking and how to recognize and lay hold to God’s blessings so we can war strategically, effectively, and intelligently; that we might live victoriously.
