Another plea from a servant of God

The War Rages

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph:6:12

Praise to our everlasting God and His son Jesus, the Christ!

Don't look now but the spiritual war, the REAL war, goes on in earnest out there. In case you haven't noticed, there is hardly a corner of your life that is not under a heavy assault even now. The strongholds of Satan are working overtime. If you are living in and by the Spirit of God, you can well discern the evil that has conquered the blind and lost of this world. You can also discern the oppression that is visited upon the Saints of God. Are we on our knees daily? That is how we stand. Are we focused on the principalities, powers and wickedness in high places or are we just focused on the visible effects of this darkness. Who cares about the New World Order, the price of fuel, taxes or which liar we're going to vote for after we run the last liar out of town! Is Ephesians 6:12 just another interesting line in the scriptures or do we LIVE it's significance? For crying out loud, Saints, let's get focused here!

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Eph:6:13

Ok, sure, in the evil day, you say. Does that mean you leave your armor parked in the closet until you are notified that the evil day is upon you? We're not going to be standing at all if we don't get our hearts and the scriptures wired tight together right now. The War has come to us and the enemy is successfully taking the focus off the root of this "trouble" and placing it instead on the things that are going wrong, or right in our lives. Oh poor "us". Our car, our money, our church, our jobs...too many things to tend to, too many things to fix. DUNG! I hate to clue you folks but the enemy has you hogtied and blindfolded if you are focusing on the "things" around you and not the SPIRITS that are ripping some of us and our families to pieces. And why? Because we have become a pack of defeated children, marked for slaughter. We haven't the will or the guts to stand for the Christ who LIVES IN US and we've slowly become poisoned over time by the lies of the Devil!

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench

all the fiery darts of the wicked. Eph:6:16

If you are not experiencing the fiery darts of oppression because you are sold out to Jesus Christ and living in His righteousness, you have a problem. If "things" couldn't be better for you, then you're serving a dark angel of light (2Co:11:14). Better back up, if you still have an ounce of will to truly seek God , and try to find the place where you slipped off the narrow way. This is serious. This is the essence of deception and the point of the war we are engaged in. 2Co:2:11: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. Are we?

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Eph:6:17

Are you spending any time at all in the Word of God? Or are you just listening to this one and that one or Pastor "Wolf" on Sunday. Do you go off half-cocked and tear up a preacher for something he said even though you know nothing of the subject? Are you wise in your own eyes? Oh, you've got TBN, I forgot. That is another stronghold that needs tearing down. The holy scriptures are the very breath and utterance of God by His Holy Spirit, the gateway to knowledge of His ways, the very incorruptible Truth, the reproof, the edification, the rebuke, the wisdom, the WORKS. And just how often does your busy schedule afford you the time to "browse" the holy book? You perish for lack of knowledge! Ho:4:6: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Do you really want to be forgotten and forsaken?

There is NO "new" World Order!

Satan has many chasing off on this NWO tangent for the same old purpose...to distract, deceive and destroy! There is nothing "new" under the sun: Ec:1:9: The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Satan's propose is the SAME today as it has been since the incident in the Garden of Eden. Only the TIMES have changed. And we are in a life and death conflict. Real war!

Remember, war is first, a condition of the heart and The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jer:17:9: Who has control of your heart? Think about it.

Do you want the knowledge of the World or the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Do you want the knowledge that perishes in Hell or the knowledge that opens the eyes of your spirit and SAVES. Are you looking "over" this dark place and the vile things that are going on or are you looking INTO the realm that is controlling and causing these things to be and fighting in the spirit, at the root of it all. When you battle flesh and blood, you will eventually run into someone just a little better than you and you are finished. When you battle in the spirit, all the power and protection of heaven is behind you and, in Jesus, you cannot lose. Your bodily life may be lost but your spirit shall live forever. The gates of Hell cannot prevail! Try to remember the promises of Jesus Christ instead of those of worthless politicians and your "leaders" who promise you the moon and only deliver you into more bondage in your life while they "fatten" up for the slaughter that is coming to them for selling out to temporal gain and greed.

Get yourself out of that carnal ditch and back to the foot of the Cross now! Put your true life in order now. The Dragon is making war with the saints (Rev13:7) NOW. If the Spirit so moves you, repent, come back to Jesus and follow His way, the only way to Life, the narrow way.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;

but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1Co:1:18
