Spiritual Warfare At Such A Time As This…

Spiritual Warfare at such a time as this! There is a BEAST system that is out to kill, steal and destroy all of God’s creation. We can’t see all the minions (evil spirits) behind the scenes making its strategies and appointments, but we know the name of its master who is Satan. This is what we are dealing with. We are not dealing with flesh and blood, but with principalities and powers in dark places.

This war requires different weapons, different strategies, and the Holy Spirit of God leading the way, and God’s Heavenly Host protecting and battling for us in the realm we cannot see. We are to have faith and fear not for God has already won the war.

In this battle, we don’t always see the measure of our efforts in growth as man sees growth, for man says, “Don’t let them get away with that! Fight back!” And the Holy Spirit says, “Hold the line, be still, have faith, and fear not, for God is with you.” Spiritual Warfare battle preparation is so different than the battle preparation in the flesh. It’s a whole different style. It requires following the way of the Lord.

Growth in following the way of the Lord comes through building one’s own personal relationship with God through the voice and teachings of His Son, and the Holy Spirit who dwell in all of those who believe. To grow in one’s own patience, faith, love, forgiveness of others, understanding, discernment, wisdom and truth.

For example, he/she who is able to rejoice in his heart for a sinner who repents and turns from his wicked ways with desire to serve the Lord is blessed. He/she who is angry at this because they desired the end of their own witch hunt to be done and see them get punished… is in need of repentance themselves. But, God always has a way of taking care of his children in all of that. God always sees to the matter. Which brings us to Saul who the Lord turned around and he believed. The Lord renamed him Paul and he served the Lord. We never know who will turn around and serve God.

We are to rejoice when a sinner repents and chooses the way of the Lord, the same as God and the angels of heaven all rejoice.

The question of the day is this… “Who did the Lord anoint as a team of people to point fingers and shout punish this one and hand them a stone to throw? Just how did he instruct us to go about doing this? What were the guidelines for throwing the stones and organizing such a team in these last days? I’ll wait for the scriptures where the Lord said to do that.

Who did he tell to get angry and lead a team to persecute others who think differently than we do? When did he tell us to throw modern day verbal stones? Where did we get that from? Jesus’s example was that he who is without sin, let him accuse and cast the first stone. And Jesus who was without sin did not cast a stone on the woman who the others accused and were ready to stone.

John 8:5-11, “5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”

I often thought of what it was that Jesus wrote on the ground? What do you think it was?

The example Jesus showed the people is twofold. One part is that we all have sinned and none of us are to condemn another for their sins. We are not to throw a stone at someone else’s sins, when we have plenty of our own. Jesus taught that no sin is greater than another, and we all have sinned. If we were even capable of living a sinless life, he would not have had to die in our place.

 If we believe that what the Lord said is true then we are to help one another and do unto others as we would have them do unto us. We are to give our burdens to God our Father and let Him avenge us.

We often lay our burden down for the Lord to take up for us and then get impatient and take it back to deal with it ourselves, only to make a mess of it. When we learn to trust God and develop patience to wait upon the Lord… we begin to see things change in ways that we never could have imagined.

The Lord told us to judge not or we will be judged by the same measure. Scriptures tell us that God judges the heart. We don’t have that ability, nor the right, nor the knowledge, nor access to anyone’s heart felt trials in their life history to even know their struggles and or their own mind-controlled issues. God knows all things. We do not.

 There is a fine line in exposing lies to warn others and demanding punishments be dished out. We are to boldly take a stand for what is truth and do it with discernment. Not with the zeal of a witch hunt.

Why didn’t Stephen shout all sorts of evil against those who stoned him? Why didn’t the apostles gather to go after all those who did that to Stephen? Why didn’t the followers of the way get together and plot to take out Saul?  Why didn’t they go after him for being so evil and siding with those who crucified Jesus? It was because that was not what they were taught by Jesus to do.

Everything has an order. God provides for all of His children. He sends others to stand in the gap, and others also include His angels to guard over us, but most of all God has given to all who believe the gift of the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and teach us all things the Lord has said.

Ponder it all… and ask for the gift and wisdom to wield the full armor of God and shod our feet with peace and teach the message that the Lord has risen. What will happen when the remnant does that?

The message to those who go beyond exposing false prophets and shepherds and get themselves into forging their own vigilante brigades to bring them down… where are they getting that desire to do such things from?  And at what point will taking the matter into their own hands will they be satisfied? What will it take for some to surrender their idea of a right to vengeance back to God to do, as God commanded? How far will anyone get on their own will power? I’m watching all of this and learning.  What are you learning?

Let’s take a self test. Be honest with your answers. Fill in the blanks mentally, or write them out on a piece of paper.

The world is a mess all because of __________ and _______. And it can be fixed by _________ and _______. I’ll be happy when I finally see ________________.  

There are no right or wrong answers, it is what you presently think, feel, and believe.

That being said… Instead of blaming our leaders, maybe it is time to look within our own selves. Our own “perfect selves”, so perfect we can blame everyone else in leadership for our own sad state of affairs, and that of our nation.

Let’s look at Deuteronomy and Leviticus.

There are curses for disobedience. Deuteronomy in Chapter 27 symbolize the fact that all are unrighteous and live under the curse of original sin.  In Deuteronomy chapter 28, there are 40 curses that are identified for a nation or individuals if they choose a carnal lifestyle over the protections of God’s Commandments. The specific ways that God may apply chastisement to correct a carnal and sinful nation and or individual are listed. We can see all of these in play right now throughout our nation and the world this very day.  Chapter 28 symbolizes the testing that God will allow each nation or believer to experience until they correct their sinful behavior.  Read: Deuteronomy 28 KJV – And it shall come to pass, if thou – Bible Gateway

Leviticus 26:3-12,  “3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.11 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

Now that all sounds great and most everyone is on board for that. Smile.

Leviticus also tells us what God said he would do to a nation called by his name if we do not follow his commands.

Leviticus 26:14-17,  “14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.”

Have we not seen this? Who’s to blame? Is it not a nation of people and not just a few elected officials, and or false shepherds? This is a chastisement of the people and the nation! But, not only that… God said if after that you do not hearken to Him… he will punish His people 7 times more.

Leviticus 26:18-20, “18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.”

And that’s not all in Leviticus 26:21-24 it says, “²¹ And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. ²² I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate. ²³ And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; ²⁴ Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

And yet, in all of that, God said Lev. 26: 41-42, “41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: 42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

We seem to find it easy to blame others for our lives in this world not being calm and perfected? Even though the Lord told us that in this world we will have tribulation and be hated, for the world hated him. If we were of the world, the world would love us, but we are not of the world.

We are watching President Trump take charge of a wayward nation under chastisement and standing up against Babylon the not-so-Great Technocratic Totalitarian global goals. We are watching every step he takes and shouting what we want him to do based on what we believe we know. Some are angry that he isn’t mad enough at those they are mad at. They want more arrests, and some want public executions. Others what to see Trump disgrace, shame and punish their favorite villains. Be it whatever category in the world system they fall in.

President Trump is acting legally with law and order and going by the constitution. He is keeping the sins separate from the sinner. How so? We are listening to him say things like, “I like him personally, but don’t like his leadership.” And or, “I don’t trust him, he’s not trustworthy”.  But he’s not shouting for MAGA to go get them in the streets, like the left are doing. He is telling us, “They caught them all and they have everything”. They are going by the law. Not by abuse of power.

Even Zelensky gets a level and fair slate. Trump has said, personally he likes the guy, but as a leader he is not smart. I think he even said stupid, maybe it was incompetent. Because it is incompetent (and stupid) to pick a fight with a superpower like Russia and expect the world to fight for him because he doesn’t have missiles, nor the military, nor the money to battle on his own and he doesn’t want to make a peace deal. Now that is incompetent and (stupid) allegedly.

That being said, Zelensky is a good example of an incompetent in charge of a nation that is being controlled by NAZI Technocracy oriented oligarchs, because Babylon the not so Great appointed him and successfully led him by his panty hose. President Trump has been very patient with the little war monger. Probably, and or allegedly, only because of the innocent people of Ukraine and throughout Europe who are victims of the fall out of his rogue appointed political position. Which that position appears to be the guardian of the laundromat for evil purposes of the Western Globalist WEF, EU, and the Clinton/Bush/Obama/Biden regimes, i.e. Babylon the not so Great. The writing is on the wall and every nation can read it clearly.

So, how does one deal with liars, and wolves in sheeps clothes? In the book of Acts when Simon Magnus wanted to buy the Holy Spirit. He was rebuked and called out right on the spot. It was done quickly and in a very orderly manner. Peter and the apostles did not get together to do a campaign against Magnus to drive out and destroy the sorcerer. They did not let Simon’s actions, nor his reputation distract them or interfere with the mission of their own ministry.

The scripture gives us a clear example of how to set a matter straight, rebuke it, and be done with it. It does not show us the example of following Magnus around and being consumed with pointing their fingers at him and put the Lord’s message aside in order to teach all about the bad things Magnus did… until he was punished publicly, and or drug through the streets and stopped?

Simon Magnus is a sorcerer and made money off of his own type of ministry. He followed Phillip for a while and believed and was baptized. He then saw the healings done with the Holy Spirit and wanted to have that power also.

Acts 8:18-25,  “18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. 25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

The story of Simon Magnus is short and brief in the book of Acts. But, a lot was written on him historically concerning his following and sorcery.

Are we teaching others the love of Christ and forgiveness… are we teaching repentance? Or are we teaching how to point out who is in need of repentance and is a false shepherd and going beyond warning and getting into defaming and condemning? Expressing desires of bringing them down ourselves? If so, how is that any different than what the Pharisees and Priests did to Jesus and His followers? Those of the Sanhedrin who followed the way of the Temple felt they were right and set out to persecute and kill all the followers of the way. We were not told to do such things at all. Jesus never said to do that.

Coming out from Egypt in a gathered bunch, doesn’t make everyone gathered equally yoked. But, it does give all the same free will to choose who they shall follow. Follow the way of the Lord, or the way of the world. Each will have to choose.

Those who believe they will defeat evil by doing the same evil to those they don’t agree with… and mocking them pointing fingers and judging with anger condemning them to hell and throwing their modern day defamation stones… well, that’s not going to always turn out the way they believe it will, so why are they always so surprised?

When a person has been given the insight to foresee what is taking place, they can serve to warn others. Yet, when they mock and point, and condemn the sinner and not the sin … they lose their own credibility and their message falls on deaf ears. There is a clean and better way to expose false shepherds with the truth. Warn of false teachers and what they say, rather than poke the eyes out of them during a mocking session where the average person pities the false shepherd and or politician.

Each must let the Holy Spirit guide their words to be wise so they are heard. But without the positive message of the way of the Lord and his Kingdom that is within you, the whole thing is nothing but a bag of woes and discord.

Exposing the world system and forewarning others of the dangers to come is what the Lord and the apostles did. That was the example we were given to follow. They were not shown how to stone others who say they believe and spoke a different message. They rebuked the devil not the person.

We are watching a separation of the sheep from the goats. God will take down the false shepherds, not man. The same as He took down Jezebel. Elijah knew he didn’t have that power and only God had that power. In fact, Elijah feared the threat Jezebel put out that he would be killed in the same manner that her priests of Baal were killed and prayed out for God to take him out of the world. He was done now…and ready to die, just not by the hand of Jezebel. God spoke to Elijah and set him straight and let him know he already had a plan in motion… and Jezebel would be eaten by dogs by morning. Because Elijah did not know of God’s full plan, nor could he see that plan in motion… he was fearful.

Not only did all that God tell Elijah about Jezebel come to pass, just as he said that it would… Elijah never died an earthly death, but was taken up into the heavens in what scripture calls a chariot of fire. Thereby defeating Jezebel even more and the devil behind her… by never having Elijah die an earthly death. God took him up, showing His power over the devil’s world.

We do best to stay focused on God and God’s will for us in our life and not what man says. Rely on the Holy Spirit for all things and ask the Lord to dwell within you and listen to what he says for you to do. All things work together for good to those who love the Lord.

Remember, in the day of the Lord, Isaiah chapter 47 tells us that Babylon the Great falls. The same as it states in the Book of Revelation. 

This is referring to the day of the Lord and God’s judgement. Today, we see it as the global totalitarian technocratic empire that is out to rule the entire world and rid it of all the little people of the earth. The useless eaters such as the Christians, Jews, and all who resist their enslavement society. Today, this technocratic KM Oligarchy is falling, is falling as we speak.

We don’t have to punish those we disagree with. God does that, not us. We must use the word of God for building up our faith, and the faith of others. We must not fall into temptation to use the scriptures as a weapon to beat up others as the enemy does daily. That is what the devil does and even did to our Lord who our Lord rebuked him in the desert. That was and is our example of how to use the full armor of God. Amen.

KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!
