18. Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou has received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. 19. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.20. He that is our God is the God of our salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. 21. But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. Psalm 68:18-21 Paul uses this verse in Ephesians 4:8, Paul speaks of Jesus ascension into heaven. Giving gifts of power from the Holy Ghost to His Church. We are constantly receiving gifts from God. Whoever woke up has received life, breath, food, family, friends, and power to be victorious over this world. Salvation is a gift offered freely, but not all receive. Nowhere can any receive the gift of eternal life but through Christ. We who received know that we must maintain a vigilant watch. For many, having strayed away for the cares of this world. Christ has struck Satan with a defeating blow at the Cross. Christ's victory is totally successful. Christ's followers will walk as winners over the field of battle. While the citizens of the world fall. Amen.
