I totally agree with your assessment.
I am a big guy that looks like a biker/redneck/inbred hillbilly that most people choose to walk on the other side of the street to avoid me. I would give you the shirt off of my back if you needed it. But some people look at me and their knees grow weak
I am thankful that God gave me this understanding concerning how others view me. I mean, I have asked people, "why are you avoiding me?" And some have honestly answered, "you look like you could rip the rear end off of an elephant just because you felt like it."
That gave me a lot of perspective.
And it allowed me to apply it to how some people view the invisible Adversary and his demonic entities and principalities. It all boiled down to Creator vs Creation.
If the CREATOR lives within me, how is it possible to ever fear the CREATION??
Oddly enough, that is what flipped the light switch to on position for me and it seems ever since then many now include me in spiritual warfare. I guess ultimately it allowed me to see things in the correct perspective. I live around bears and mountain lions and why I have these massive Tibetan Mastiffs to protect my property and livestock. But I have encountered twice mountain lions outside the confides where my dogs are capable of getting to. Both occasions I looked at the lion and said, "Get thee behind me in the NAME of Yeshua." I am big enough and strong enough to fend for myself against these animals. But I have notice when I talk to my dogs about Yeshua, they settle down like they understand WHO I AM speaking about and I believe they do know HIM!! So, the mountains lions obviously also know Him and have to obey Him when you put God in control!!
I see the same when facing the Adversary. He knows WHO Yeshua is because he was CREATED by Yeshua. So, when I tell the Adversary to "Get thee behind me in the NAME of Yeshua," the Adversary HAS TO OBEY because he knows who Yeshua is!!
