“Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies…. So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.”
Joshua 10:12-13 KJV
This is the most amazing miracle recorded in Israel’s history. By the decree of a mortal, the entire cosmos paused as Yahweh Himself fought for His people! God is the Engineer of the universe and holds its controls in His Hands. He can accelerate or slow down the created order He set in place. As Joshua spoke with authority, the sun and moon stood still and the enemy was conquered. This was in the old covenant. In the new covenant when Jesus was resurrected, He said all authority is with Him which He gives to all who believe Him. Jesus stripped the devil of authority and transferred it to His Church. We are seated with Christ far above all principalities and powers, might and dominion and these are under Christ’s Feet. Because we are in Christ, even the newest believer has this authority. Soon, the God of peace will swiftly pound Satan to a pulp under our feet! Let’s not make the devil bigger than he is! Hallelujah!
