Knowing Your Foe!!!
One of the most misunderstood subjects in the whole Christian theology and teaching is the subject of Spiritual Warfare. The first key to victory in spiritual warfare is this: you must believe in the spiritual realm. You must believe that this realm is real and tangible. The spirit realm is not some made up fairy tale that lives only in the minds of children and the superstitious, but it is real.
Spiritual warfare is something that takes place every day. Just because we ignore something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Many people suffer from the sickness of ostrichitus. They think if they act like an ostrich about things like spiritual warfare, then it's not happening. They may stick their heads in the sand and ignore it, but it's still occurring! Are you suffering from ostrichitus?
Satan is desperately fighting to destroy you, Your destiny, Your purpose, and your family. But do not be overcome or dismayed. If your a believer in Jesus, Your a winner!!
Paul declares that there is a world that is not seen (2 Corinthians 4:18). This is a supernatural world, and in this unseen world is where spiritual warfare occurs. From the very beginning of time there has been a blurry line between the natural world and the spiritual world. At the dawn of creation, when Adam and Eve arrived in the Garden of Eden, Satan did too, and spiritual warfare began.
This struggle is called war because Satan and all of hell are in total rebellion to God. Spiritual warfare can manifest in many different ways. When we are tempted to participate in sin and Unrighteous behavior, the fight is on. It occurs when we are wounded, hurt, or disappointed by those we love or have confidence in. It's a spiritual fight not to become bitter, angry, and unforgiving. The enemy will orchestrate situations that are engineered to defeat us, and it can become a struggle to remain victorious, joyful, and even saved!!
Spiritual warfare can take place anywhere, at home, at work, and even at church! Never forget, the devil has been known to go to church. Now it's important that you understand this TRUTH: there is a great spiritual warfare occurring at this very moment. You might be wondering if God is worried, and that answer is a resounding no. God's in total control and is in no danger from Satan at all.
We are engaged in war, the stakes are enormous, and our enemy is Satan. Our enemy is God's enemy, and that enemy is Satan. In order for you to overcome an enemy, it is of utmost importance to know your foe. When you know your for, Your on the path to certain victory!!
You see for years I was taught the Bible very well and God's love and God's grace, but I for some reason was never taught the enemy, and the enemy used it against me for years and the attacks I endured hurt me tremendously because they came from those closest to me to hit me with a blow to the heart in which made me look to those in front of me attacking instead of the devil using them to get to me!! Tonight know the enemy will use those closest to you to hurt you, for you to blame God for bad things happening which are all lies from HELL ITSELF!! The enemy wants all humans dead, destroyed, not just those who believe all of us because all if us have a chance to be redeemed by Jesus Christ, and that makes him mad because he never will!!! To know God and how to protect against these attacks we must know God's word and stand on it!! To know how to defend against the enemy we have to trust God at HIS WORD and lean on it use the authority Jesus gave us and tell the devil to flee with a loud voice in the natural the enemy can't read our mind like God so we must vocally tell him to go in Jesus name!!! God bless you all tonight, Your brother in Christ Jesus, John Caleb
