 “…who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle.” 
Zachariah 10:5a.

Christians have victory in soft and difficult situations. As followers of Christ, we have victory in the mire of the streets. On the streets of this world, the Holy Spirit is confused with soft emotions, “being all wet,” filled with “leakage” etc. Routinely, when I was working as a janitor, I’ve had to clean up spills after displaying qualities of the Holy Spirit to people throughout the day. They figured they could bog me down with the mire of repetitive and unpleasant tasks of mopping up after constant overflowing of waste filled toilets. The toilets were purposely being clogged to cause them to overflow at just the “right” time. Not to mention many other mysteriously well-timed spills.

Somehow, the thought was that with me constantly mopping up spills it would somehow “dry up” the Holy Spirit in me. They want t0 use what they perceive as “wetness” to turn it into mire, which is to corrupt the Holy Spirit within a person. They want to turn the soul into a swamp instead of beautiful spiritual territory. They want to bog us down in mire to prohibit the freedom in the Spirit. Even so, as Christians, we don’t live by corrupted moisture, we live in Jesus Christ, we have victory in the mire of the streets.

The word “angel” conjures up images of beings with halos and two wings, but there are no angels in the Bible with that description. It’s the same misconception people have of the Holy Spirit being soft, moist, and wet emotional qualities. They have no idea what a Biblical angel is. When someone is asked what an angel is, they describe the attributes of humanism with all the soft, moist, tender, and wet qualities they can think of. That watery description of God’s angels is very far from understanding their Holiness. In fact, the Holy Spirit warns us not to serve angels, as quoted below,

Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Colossians 2:18

Those of this world love to use the words, love, support, dignity, kindness, family, democratic, etc. to promote their global culture of the beast. That is mire they try to bog decent individuals down with. For example, today there is a lot of churchy and humanitarian sounding words to promote the killing of the unborn, and to promote the LGBQT+ lifestyles etc. They are trying to bog the Holy Spirit down in mire. That mire is seen when calling abortion “Reproductive Rights” and associating the LGBQT+ agenda with the “Respect for Marriage Act.” etc.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we have victory in the streets of mire because Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit, not corruptible emotions that get bogged down in the quagmire.

When people show qualities of the Holy Spirit, they are often called “gay” or harassed, insulted, and ridiculed in other ways. They want to turn the Spirit into mire. They use soft and tender emotions to shape and mold people into something corrupted and not of Jesus Christ. Even so, as followers of Jesus Christ, we live in the Holy Spirit not in the corruptible mire of soft and tender emotional qualities. We live in the steadfastness of Holiness through Christ, not in emotional qualities as changeable as the worldly flow of water. We have victory in the mire of the streets through the Lord Jesus Christ.

The thing which forms what people think, feel, do and say thrives on shaping pleasant emotions into something corruptible. In other words, it corrupts innocence. Its purpose is to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through people which only happens when the decency of the human spirit is bogged down in mire. It wants to sever people from the Holiness given through Jesus Christ. As people allow it to live and speak through them, they are plunged into mire as they deny the existence of God, discard the need for the remission of sin through Jesus, and are hostile towards the Holy Spirit. They are conformed to their place within the anti-Christian society as they are groomed to the mark of the beast. Even so, praise God that we have victory in the streets of mire through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 “They shall fight because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.”
Zachariah 10:5b.

We fight in the Holiness of the Lord to defeat worldly attacks. Very simply, we fight the battle against the quagmire of spiritual wickedness because God is with us through Jesus Christ who gives us the Holy Spirit. On the Day of the Lord, the masses of people who live for the global culture of the beast will be put to shame. Jesus Christ returns in victory as King of kings and Lord of lords.
