After Joshua and the Israelites defeated the Amorite armies, Joshua had the five kings removed from the cave. Joshua asked his military captains to put their feet on the necks of the five kings. This is what the Holy Spirit is saying to each of us: "I have given you the victory over these spirits that have come against you and tried to bring you into a place of decrease. It's time to put your feet on the neck of the enemy and enforce your victory!"
Jesus is waiting until all enemies are made His footstool. Let your faith arise to realize--the enemies that have been holding you back have been exposed! You have the victory in Christ over all these spirits. Put your feet on their necks!

The forth king we want to look at is Japhia, king of Lachish. He represents a spirit of blindness. This spirit will try to get you to shine the light on yourself and demand your rights, so that you take God's glory for yourself and lose the ability to receive revelation from God. It can darken your spiritual understanding, bringing a lack of joy and a feeling of bondage.
A woman named Rose Crawford had been blind for 50 years. "I just can't believe it!" she gasped as the doctor lifted the bandages from her eyes after her recovery from delicate surgery in an Ontario hospital. She wept for joy when for the first time in her life a dazzling and beautiful world of form and color greeted eyes that now were able to see. The amazing thing about the story, however, is that 20 years of her blindness had been unnecessary. She didn't know that surgical techniques had been developed, and that an operation could have restored her vision at the age of 30. The doctor said, "She just figured there was nothing that could be done about her condition. Much of her life could have been different."
We do not have to be blind spiritually. This spirit has been destroyed. However, like all spirits they are law breakers. Know the benefits of what Christ has done for you. Refuse to be blinded to selfishness, ego and pride. Give all the glory for all things, at all times to God.
Check yourself. Do you have joy? Do you feel as though you are in bondage? If so call upon the name of the Lord and ask Him to heal you. Show gratitude for what He has already done for you through Christ. We may have once been blind but now we can see. Amazing Grace still saves, delivers and sets free.
