Think You’re Exempt From Spiritual Warfare?

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters Around The World,

Sorry, my computer was down the last 2 weeks - Pray with me, the enemy will not get his hands on this computer or stop this blog again - PTL In Jesus Name!
Anyone who is a Christian is automatically hunted by the twerp [satan], because if he can make things bad enough for you, he will.  Not just for you, but also for your family.  He wants you to deny Christ and turn to the world – which is following the twerp instead of Jesus.

Warfare it's not just saying you’re a Christian to others, it's like a soldier saying, to a combatant don’t shoot me, I’m just a soldier like you - following orders.  

A soldier always goes through boot camp first.  He must learn how to accurately fire a rifle, know what an IED looks like and how to avoid it.  They must learn to use a knife, when they cannot use a gun.  It’s not easy for them to learn it all in just 8 weeks, plus protect civilians who are not in the war.

But at least they have a chance after they have training and learn to survive.  And that’s what we Christians must do; not only protect our loved ones, but others who do not realize we are in a war.

It takes preparation, training to know our enemy and what his off switch is, what our amour is [Ephesians 6:10-16] and how to use it.  The practice of spiritual warfare is to be a lifetime.  Never ending our prayers/praises; declaring scriptures over a problem, binding the evil ones and loosing the good ministering angels.   We have the character of God in the “Fruit of the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-24 and the Gifts – His Power Available to Us when needed 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

Spiritual warfare consists in many areas in your life and home such as; loving your spouse, being a good steward of your finances, helping difficult people, forgiving those who hurt you, teaching your children God’s Word, serving and reflecting the love of God daily with His Joy, stop telling God your problems – because He already knows them – just pray and confess the Scriptural answers.  All of the above require your action, your choices in life.

If you have a Bible, read John chapter 14.  Here are just a few of the principals you can start working on.

[John 14:24-27 NASB] 24 “He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me. 25 These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”

Today, it seems human nature is more to be board and seeking thrills, when you decide you want more than you have – this is helped by drugs, alcohol, TV, sexual ads giving lustful thoughts attacking so you don’t have any peace, or you think your being held back in life.  THESE ARE ALL LIES from the twerp!  In your vows, you said “till death do you part” just like I did.  The Holy Spirit will remind you of the covenant you made both with Him and your spouse – “to love and cherish each other in sickness and in health,” and if you ask [pray] for the Holy Spirit’s help – you’ll get it.  Sometimes He may reveal where you need to change and other times, like me, He’ll tell you it’s His child and He’ll deal with the problem – just turn it over to Him.  Just continue reading and learning the Scriptures. – He’ll take care of your spouse.  When you do whatever the Holy Spirit tells you, and when a negative thought comes up from the twerp, you can say, I bind you satan from my mind the Lord says He’ll handle it –in Jesus’ Name. 

Having financial problems?  You will never get out of debt, until you do it God’s ways. Read Malachi 3:8-10, and if you are having problems reading the Old Testament [OT] here’s a New Testament [NT] one for you Luke 6:38. 

Unfortunately many think the OT is filled with Laws – but we’re told Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible and they are the Laws.  Malachi is the last book of the OT.  And I know we cannot rob God and expect Him to bless our finances.  In fact, tithing, which means 10% in Hebrew, protects the 90% balance you get to keep.  If you need MORE, then give an offering and you’ll open a checking account in Heven with an interest rate of some 30-60 and 90%.  God always gives us more than the world.  God made this promise to you, to bless you, not make your life harder.  Try doing it God’s way and see the manifest changes in your finances.

God would not give us a commandment that we couldn’t accomplish, Mark 12:30-31 is the best Scripture for this.  I’ll bet you were not the nicest person on earth, before you accepted Jesus – I know I wasn’t. 

I take care of an Uncle, who I’d like to strangle most days, but on the drive home, the Holy Spirit always calms me down reminding me, he 83, legally blind, and had a leg removed, so he’s permanently in a wheel chair.  Then my heart fills with forgiveness and I repent – I kick he twerp out of my head and bless my Uncle – leaving him in God’s care, confessing “nothing is to BIG for my God to handle.”

How important is it to raise a child that God has given you?  They only way a child learns of God and the Bible while they’re young is through you.  You represent the goodness of God they will remember when, they are offered drugs, alcohol, gangs, killing videos, etc.  It’s your job to train them up in the way of the Lord.  Check out Proverbs 22:6 and Isaiah 44:24. Serve and reflect the love of God in your home daily with His Joy, because that’s YOUR STRENGTH. [Nehemiah 8:10]

Stop telling God your problems – because He already knows them – just pray and confess the Scriptural answers. You also need to stop CONFESSING them; they allow the enemy to do what you say or fear what will happen.  The twerp cannot read your mind, but he can do what you say – that’s equivalent to loosing him to make things worse, instead of binding him!

All of the above require your action, your choices in life.  God will honor your choices when they agree with His Word.  To top that, they ALWAYS WORK!  Because He said it, I believe it and that settles it!

Here’s a main key of Scripture, when you don’t know what to do.  This will keep you on the narrow road with the Lord.

[Philippians 4:8-9 NASB] 8 “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”

Blessings to all who read the blog and keep the Faith being AMAZED at how much more He has for you, as you seek new goals for 2018.  I promise you, there is so much more the Holy Spirit wants to reveal to you thru His Word.  I pray for ALL of you nightly.
