I learned something new this morning in my prayer time with Psalm 110, “God honors us in order to humble our enemies.” I never knew this or even thought about this like this before. Here is what the Lord showed me.

Our enemies are not flesh and blood, according to Paul’s statements in Ephesians 6, but our enemies are powers, rulers, principalities. That means our enemies are invisible, but they manifest through flesh and blood. This takes great discernment to separate the invisible from the visible, so we can see who the real enemy is.

Psalm 110:1 says, “The LORD said to my Lord, Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies.” When God honors us it humbles our enemies, because honor reveals to the enemy that we are not who they said we are. (I am shouting right there). God’s honoring of us tells the enemy I have known who they were all along.

Remember Proverbs 15:13 says, humility comes before honor, so what honor says is they have humbled themselves before Me, says the Lord, and your lies about them are no longer valid. This is why honor humbles our enemies. When God honors us, we sit in the honor He gives us and this humbles our enemies.

We are accustomed to street fighting, striving, screaming, and struggling to prove we are not who the enemy says we are and God says, I am going to honor you and this is going to humble the enemies around you. For honor is going to tell the enemy they are not who you think they are.

Psalm 110:2 says, “You will rule over your enemies.” As we sit in the honor God gives us, He humbles our enemies and then we are able to rule over them. Our enemies are the lies spoken about us that try to rule over and tell us who we are not, but honor sits us down and tells us who we are and then our enemies are humbled because we no longer believe they lies they are speaking to us.

God is going to honor you and it is to humble the enemies that are surrounding you and are in you. Get ready to sit in honor and watch your enemies be humbled right before you.
