Life’s Challenges versus Spiritual Battles
[Updated: May 2024]
Bear with me whilst I bring you through a little story, a small chapter in my life. My heart’s cry is that it will make the times we are in a reality – the very real spiritual war that humankind is in, whether we are active or inactive in the battles.
There is a significant number of Christians who openly admit that 'other Christians' hype up the subject of spiritual warfare, and "demons". There are indeed two extremes regarding this topic.
There is either ignorance, where a Christian does not believe in having to fight spiritually -- believing that a 'spiritual' war is against a person's spirit within themselves, 'unbelievers' and 'carnal Christians' alike, thereby making it 'battles' in the physical realm. That is not true.
The other extreme is that everything involves a demon. The comedian named Flip Wilson, popular in the late 60s to mid-70s, made a one-liner a famous, household saying, which was, "The devil made me do it!"
Sadly, there are some Christians who say [and believe] the same lie. It can be expected from the unsaved (and beasts), but to hear a Christian say it, makes one ponder their salvation. And that is a very serious matter.
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for that cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie: [2Thes2:10-11]
Every "sin" has a demon attached to it, according to those involved in certain denominations with false teachers and false prophets. The Bible speaks of unclean spirits [Mk 5:8], familiar spirits [1Sam 28:7], foul spirits [Mk 9:25], and others.
But there are some false prophets and false teachers who give demonic spirits fictitious names, and the new converts and undiscerning are deceived. There are those who still parrot an old wisecrack, a one-liner that cleverly mocks those who blame others for their sin (blame the demon >> "the devil made me do it").
That quip was made famous by Flip Wilson, a One self-proclaimed prophet teaches about a "sneaky squid spirit". How is she going to explain that one to Jesus, who called "fishermen" to be part of His ministry?
Laziness, gossip, backbiting, stealing, are random examples of things that some in the deliverance ministry attach to some demon [spirit of laziness, spirit of gossip, spirit of thievery, etc.). Sins of the flesh are often blamed on some demon.
One must be delivered from the demon to stop that sin, according to those who work in this deception. One self-proclaimed prophet (Jennifer LeClaire) speaks of a 'sneaky squid spirit'.
Where in the New Testament do you see Jesus/Yeshua or the apostles naming any such spirits? You will not find any such foolishness. You may think that anyone could see through that façade of so-called spiritual warfare. Test that with the Word of God.
Check the stories where Jesus delivered tortured souls from the grip of demons. There are references in the Old Testament as well, such as a "lying spirit" [1Kings 22:21-23; Job 4:15]
There are many examples, but you will not find any "sneaky squid spirit", and no, it is not a new demon that is for these last days. Do not be deceived, dear friends. Notwithstanding, this is an entire topic on its own, but not for here.
Take heed, dear friends. Do not be deceived. Grab the 'bull' by the horns. When we are submitted to God, we resist the devil and he will flee. It may be immediate or he may rebel (rebellion is part of their nature) and it may take persistence. However, he must and will flee - as it is written.
KEY to locked doors: Submit to God. [Jam 4:7] Satan has no keys, so do not believe any such lies. The last two he had (death and Hades) [Rev 1:18] Jesus/Yeshua took from him. But the Holy Spirit guides us in every situation, as Jesus promised.
Simply put, some do not believe in spiritual warfare, and others dramatize it. Although Satan will tempt us in our weak areas, we overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. [Rev 12:11]
We will know what to do, especially if we need to seek God humbly, confess our sins, and repent. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth.
We live in a physical realm where life itself is full of
disappointments, injustices, challenges, and the weight and consequences of
sin. Yet we also can tap into the spiritual realm, where our Creator as well as
our archenemy live. A spiritual battle rages that God already has claimed
victory over. It is written plainly in the Bible.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us
from the LOVE of God, which is in CHRIST Jesus (Yeshua) our LORD. [Rom 8:37-39]
If this story and my best effort to present evidence helps
someone to pay attention, understand what is happening, hear the Lord’s wisdom,
and proceed to follow the instructions of: Eph 6; 1Pet 5:6-8; 2Cor 10:4, then it
has been worth every frustration, every hindrance, every delay, every tear, and
every struggle.
If I was to convince someone of anything, it is not the ferocious
brutality of the enemies of the cross. I do not think that would take much
convincing. People can be cruel when walking in sin [and flesh aka carnal nature], but the importance is to
confirm that which is already established, which is the mercy and goodness,
faithfulness and steadfastness of Jesus the Messiah.
He will stay by our side through all our hard trials and
tribulations, whether we know it or not. Do not struggle to understand the ‘why’
things happen that happen (as countless others, self included, have many
times). Logic can be overridden by extreme emotions, and logic is not
always accurate.
That does not mean we forsake critical thinking or logic, but there are times that our understanding will fail us, and we must simply TRUST the LORD.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to
your own understanding [logic]. In all your ways
acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths (guide your steps). [Prov
3:5,6]
Abiding in Christ We Have His Power and Authority
Jesus gave us power and authority over serpents and scorpions (demonic). Yet during battle fatigue we soon discover that we have lost power and strength. It is when these things first begin to happen that we begin to learn.
We cry out to the Lord when there is nowhere else to turn. We soon discern His faithfulness in staying with us in the heat of the battle; when the enemy armies become overwhelming.
We learn to trust at deeper levels. For example, trusting
the Lord that you will make it home [on gas fumes, if necessary]
when the car is out of gas is a different level than trusting Him to keep you from
bankruptcy or foreclosure, or from a death sentence from a terminal illness that the
doctor announces.
Yes, we learn – step by step, here a little, there a little,
from glory to glory.
We learn to be grateful (praises with thanksgiving) in
all things, even if we are awkward at times, not always successfully (thanks
to interference from our flesh/carnal nature).
But we do NOT give up! (Do not even consider it an
option!) And yes, it can be bloody hard. That is why we need the prayers of
others. We (most importantly) need to keep close to Jesus. We need Him
every moment of every day. He truly is our everything.
Listen to His children. We all have that respectful, adoring
love for Him. Jesus/Yeshua is so good, and His mercy does endure forever – but our
Saviour is no fool. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Consider
carefully…
As we grow and learn and discipline ourselves, as we put into practice that which we are taught or instructed to do, we finally come into the peace He gives with His loving presence.
Do not try and make sense of
it; it is the peace that passes all understanding or explanation. It is ‘knowing’
Christ is abiding. It is ‘knowing’ Him and Him knowing us – being one in Christ
– the Vine and the branches being one.
Have you not known? Have you not heard that the
everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not,
neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding.
He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no
might He increases strength. [Is 40:28-29]
Do your best not to allow Satan, any demon or any person
tell you that you are too weak to rise back up, or that Christians do not faint
or fall (exhausted, weak, spiritually fatigued/drained, weary). For it
is written:
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young
men shall utterly fall: But they that W-A-I-T upon the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles: they shall run
and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. [Is 40:30-31]
We all get weary but we do not allow it to totally deplete
us; to cause us to quit – although at times we may feel right on the verge. I
know I have at times in past. But Jesus…! Glory to the Lamb of God! Some times we
need to speak to ourselves, encourage ourselves in the Lord (as king David
and Joshua did, when no one else was around to comfort them).
Satan is a liar, the father of lies, a murderer; one who
comes to steal, kill and to destroy, but Jesus offers life abundantly. [Jn
10:10] He also invites us to come to Him whenever we are ‘weary’ [laboured] and
‘burdened’ [heavy laden], and He ‘will’ give us rest for our soul. [see Mat 11:28-30]
When the Lord repeats Himself, it is for our benefit, that
we take notice of what He is repeating and why. We are creatures that need reminding.
People learn through repetition, practice, training. It is for our good, but
for the glory of God.
The counterfeiter Satan can be repetitious in his strategies and tactics, stratagems, techniques, and whom and/or what he specifically targets, but as the idiom states, there is a method to his madness.
He has his organized hierarchy [counterfeiting,
copycatting God], his merciless armies [hardened hearts], and his murderous top commanders
(principalities and powers). His watchers work diligently, reporting in
so that he can scheme and cause things to fall into place quickly.
It grieves me to give Satan (meaning ‘adversary’)
the spotlight for even two seconds, but it is important that I leave no rock
unturned. For the past five years (since October 2018), the Lord has put
it upon my heart to be consistent in warning (and/or reminding) people
of the increase in occult interest (secret activities, dark/black magic),
the uprising of the practitioners ([witches, warlocks/sorcerers, wiccans]
- rituals, spells, and undeniable demonic activity.
Correcting an Error in Wording – An Incorrect Statement
I had begun to write this article somewhere in the last few days of July (2023). Yet not long after I began came the first assault (first stratagem) from the enemy. I did not connect the two at first, but as time has progressed (but mostly because of the Lord’s patience with me and giving me eyes to see and a spirit of understanding), the dots did indeed connect.
A couple of weeks into August, I posted a short article
called ‘Free at Last’, which was directed at my release from the
hospital, even though my stay was not long, having been released on the sixth
day. Not much was given in detail because I was not sure I was hearing from the
Lord. Even still, it took a further six days before the post was made.
Another article followed a couple of days later (18th). The reality of being in a spiritual battle was mentioned, but I do not think that was one of my better articles. One of my subtitles was: Cowards Get Overwhelmed Rather than Overcome.
It is not a spirit of error, but it is an
honest mistake – a gross mistake.
A spirit of error versus a spirit of truth - Jesus the Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one goes to the Father except by Him.
Did I really post that title? Was that my flesh or the work
of the enemy? There was a time that I would just change the title, and then
explain what it meant. I did not see blogging as a ‘published’ work per se, when
I first began as a blogger, rather, just a form of private ‘journaling’ or a diary that I was
sharing publicly.
Wrong! I stand corrected and now know better. My sincerest apologies if that statement
threw anyone off course. I knew what I meant, but the title is completely misleading;
it is wrong. We all get overwhelmed sometimes (read about Moses, Elijah,
Jeremiah, David, Jehoshaphat, Jesus [Father, let this bitter cup pass…] [Mat
26:39]
Life can overwhelm us sometimes. Accidents, financial ruin,
job loss, severed relationships (death, divorce, misunderstandings,
betrayals, etc.), sickness, pain, work overload and pressures, chemical
imbalances, demonic possession or oppression – the list goes on.
Yes, all of us can get overwhelmed at times and most of us do, in life. However, that does not mean we cannot overcome the situation. Being overwhelmed does not make one a coward. Ridiculous…it was a poor grouping of words on my part. My sincere apologies.
It has been quite some time since I have jumped in and corrected writing because I learned more along my journey, along my faith walk, as we
all do. Now if I correct something, I make sure it is stated. As far as saying
cowards get overwhelmed but do not overcome, that is only partially true.
Being overwhelmed does not make one a coward. Even the
mightiest warrior, Jesus/Yeshua, became overwhelmed (heavy burdened with
sorrow) [Mat 26:37-39] in the Garden of Gethsemane because the torture and
cruelties He would have to endure were revealed to Him ( horrific things – as
part of becoming the sacrificial Lamb for mankind).
Yet so great is the Father’s love that after His time of suffering and coming to grips with what must be, El Shaddai (God) sent a holy angel to minister to (comfort) His Son. [Lk 22:43-44] Even our righteous, strong Saviour needed comfort and strengthening whilst in this vessel of flesh and blood.
In that hour, He felt the added pain of aloneness. Jesus knew isolation: He often withdrew alone from the crowds. He knew the emptiness of silence from the Father, even to the point once of asking God where He was.
When we are in the midst of great sorrows and trials, we too feel alone, that
there is no one who understands or even cares, but that is not so. It is just a
‘feeling’, and feelings can deceive us. Jesus the Christ is ever with us.
Upon the rugged tree (cross), Jesus/Yeshua was in
anguish at the savagery, the barbarism, the accusations and outright lies; the
shredded flesh that came from the senseless whipping of the soldiers, as well
as the merciless pounding of sharp spikes being hammered into His tender flesh.
“Father, let this [bitter] cup pass from Me – Howbeit,
not My will but Yours be done.” Then, in a weakened stated, the spirit of
heaviness fell upon the Lord, and He cried out, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?
(My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”) [Mk 15:34 – see the
prophetic statement in Psalm 22:1]
Yeshua was very aware of the separation sin causes, but He
was also grieved by His Father’s silence. He did not sin but he bore the unbearable
weight of all our sins upon Himself. Demonic chaos and sinful flesh (gambling
soldiers, mocking, jeering crowd, Satan ridiculing and laughing) surrounded
Him.
When we are going through great pain, either physical,
mental, emotional or spiritual, we notice the silence of our Lord. We will
notice the negativity around us, whether from our flesh, the world or the demonic
realm.
Yes, Jesus was overwhelmed, as were multitudes found
mentioned throughout scripture. Being overwhelmed does not make one a coward. We
all get overwhelmed sometimes for various reasons. No, it is refusing to face
the difficulties and battles, refusing to face any giant and overcome it. It is
giving up, or worse, blaming God for failure and unfairness.
Jesus/Yeshua willingly sacrificed His life as atonement for
our sins. He overcame His overwhelming anguish and chose to face His accusers
and executors. It is not easy. Not for Jesus, our forerunners, or for us.
Elijah faced Ahab and Jezebel again. David faced Saul again.
Jehoshaphat faced the opposing armies that outnumbered Israel. All of these
people were overwhelmed with certain situations in their life, and the Word of
God records it as an example for us.
Bless the Lord!
I was mortified when I saw the title that I had posted but
it had to be adjusted. The wording was sure to be misconstrued. Ah well, it has
been addressed now, and the understanding made clear. Hopefully I have not missed other such
statements. More importantly, I hope I have not done any harm in any way to
anyone who may not know better, either due to youth, or any other innocent
reason.
May the Lord take care of any souls that those words may
have troubled, and take the incorrect words out of the atmosphere, burning them
up by the fire of the precious and Holy Spirit, where not even an ash remains.
Be glorified in all things, Yeshua – beloved Jesus. Please forgive my
oversight, or haste.
There is typically great care taken before posting, but I am
not infallible. Admittedly, there are times that I have noticed certain
articles needed editing, and I have tried to correct that. Yet, there is
something else I have noticed and I am sure it is either Google’s bots, or it
is Google staff trying to ruin certain work through tampering and sabotage.
I have seen the colour of text changed, where it is absurd
colours and hard on the eyes to read. I have seen font too large or too small, dates messed up (I try and
keep hard copies in empty books that I have purchased from dollar stores, or
other stores.)
There has been manipulation of text and words where none of
the sentences make sense. I have been flabbergasted when I discover it (It has
been discovered as I copy and paste articles to be printed and put in a
binder.) At any rate, there are errors that I know are not mine, but how does
one prove that. Sigh… one does not, not unless you are a computer whiz.
At any rate, for the recent error, which IS my error, I
apologize to readers, but with sincere gratitude, I thank the Holy Spirit for
drawing my eyes to the title. Bless the Lord!
What is a Coward?
Let us first define coward according to the dictionary.
coward: [noun] a person who lacks courage in
facing danger, difficulty, opposition, pain.; a timid or easily intimidated
person
[adjective] lacking courage; very fearful or timid;
proceeding from or expressive of fear or timidity SOURCE:
dictionary.com
Sometimes I wondered if I was a coward because I have had to
deal with pain since 2018, since my leg was burned by a DEW (direct energy
weapon – another story, howbeit, a true story, yet for another time). Five
years of daily pain has slowly increased.
It began a downhill spiral when I left Kelowna BC (where I
lived) on March 27, 2021, to drive to Calgary, Alberta to visit my two
daughters, my son-in-law, and my three grandchildren (two boys and a girl). I
visited for two months, departing about June 26, 2022.
I thought I would arrive in Ontario before Canada Day,
Canada’s biggest holiday of the year, July 1st – Canada’s
Confederation birthday, akin to America’s July 4 holiday. It turned into a
six-day journey (which is extremely long for crossing Canada when one is not
touring).
However, the traffic was surreal due to the upcoming
holiday, and hotel/motel or bed-n-breakfasts were all booked solid. If one did
manage to find a room, it was a cockroach motel with the highway robbery price
tag of $180 and up (for filthy, used rooms). I slept sitting up for nearly six days
at gas stations, or truck stops, wherever I could grab a few winks and be safe.
Now the osteoarthritis in the knees (both) is bone on bone. Bionic braces (custom-made) are supposedly the answer (transhumanism), but the braces are very expensive. The degenerative discs in the back have caused lower back pain, including the sciatic nerve.
I would rather be a testimony to the glory of Jesus than a testimony to man, stating the bionic braces work to the point where I do not have to take the painkillers. That is what AI promises – with transhumanism, it is said we would be a person with super-abilities and no pain. We would be ‘as gods’… (deception).
Thanks be to God, I am no coward. Yes, I weep when the pain is
extreme, but I still face it. The Lord is my anchor, so I choose to wait upon
Him. I continue to learn. Yes, I can only do it with His strength, but that
means, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. [Phil
4:13] KJV
It is no option to quit; the Lord has brought me so far, and done so much work. He deserves the fruit of His labour. But yes, there are times that I just do not think that I can take any more.
I do my best to
refocus away from the pain – the Lord helps, but I am awkward at times. Thank
You Lord for all You do for all of us, even things we are not even aware of. You are
exalted on high, holy, and majestic King of kings.
The sharing of these things is certainly not for sympathy, but to show you how merciful and gracious Jesus (Yeshua) is in helping us. He will help anyone through any situation. Just call out to Him.
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear. [Is 59:1]
Jesus bore our sins; He paid the price. Speak to Him from your own heart, not with someone else's words. The Lord sees the heart anyway, and He is very patient when we feel awkward.
Speak to Him as you would a trusted friend that you respect and honour. Remember, He is God. Let godly sorrow fill your heart, understanding the nature and evil of sin.
That true sorrow washes over your heart, and guilt and condemnation will disintegrate, as Jesus' grace and mercy replaces it with forgiveness and restoration.
For godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. [2Cor 7:10]
When Trials and Tribulations Try Us
I began pain medication with Tylenol 2’s with codeine ([OTC]
over-the-counter medication because the codeine was not at a prescription
strength). After a year of taking the T2s daily, the pharmaceutical
company discontinued making them, and they were no longer available across
Canada.
(Excerpt below from Government Federal Registry) - (Pharmaceutical
Drugs)
Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list TYLENOL
WITH CODEINE (acetaminophen with codeine phosphate) oral tablets, 325
mg/7.5 mg, 325 mg/15 mg, 325 mg/30 mg, and 325 mg/60 mg, in the “Discontinued
Drug Product List” section of the Orange Book. The “Discontinued Drug
Product List” delineates, among other items, drug products that have been
discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or effectiveness. 2015/2016
[emphasis mine - BP]
(End excerpt) SOURCE:
Federalregister.gov
I had to go up to T3s. The T3s [available by prescription
only] used to address the pain just fine, but not now, not four years later
[the first year was the T2s, no prescription necessary]. I am not in the
USA, but apparently, Tylenol 3 with Codeine [McNeil Ortho Pharmaceuticals, Inc. –
July 9, 1976] has been discontinued as of January 2023, which may mean Canada may
follow suit.
Only one link was found for antibiotic shortages and that
pertains to Australia. I cannot find the news article I saw yesterday that
spoke of shortages in Canada and the United States. Neither can I now find the
link that spoke of Tylenol 3s being phased out and discontinued in the United
States, as we head into 2024 [it is now October 2023).
This article is not about that – it is about Jesus, the ‘witching’ season we are in, and other things the Lord has led me to speak of. However, despite what the Word of Faith (WOF - WolF) teach, taking medicine does not mean we lack faith in Jesus.
Other denominations are against blood transfusions, necessary operations, or other medical procedures. In the Bible, Luke was a Greek physician from Antioch, Syria. The apostle Paul told Timothy to take a little wine for his upset stomach, even though he could have laid hands on him to be healed. [1Tim 5:23]
Scholars have speculated that water was the issue which is why Paul recommended wine. They also suggest that since Paul had to instruct Timothy to 'take a little wine' for his stomach and other infirmities that Timothy was not one who normally drank wine.
It should be said that the devil (Satan) can put illness upon people as well, and there are witches who 'pray' for such. In fact, the last church I went to in BC, the Lord had me confront the male and female pastors (church founders) after a 31 day fast.
As I walked up the sidewalk toward the church (about 40 minutes before it would start), I had no clue what I would say, but the Lord told me that He would give me the words at the time I needed to speak them.
They were both standing by the coffee maker when I came in. "Jesus loves both of you," I stated as I approached them. Huge smiles lit up their faces. After a pause, "He wants you to repent."
Smiles disappeared as fast as a dog with a meaty bone. "Repent for what?" the woman asked. I mentioned so-called 'prayers' that they had prayed against people, and literally praying something negative happen, either for revenge or to manipulate a situation. This was many times involving various people over several occasions.
The conversation went on for a brief five or so minutes. One man who was there when I arrived wanted to know by what authority I spoke to the two pastors. I said, "By the authority given to me by Christ. By what authority do you speak?" and I could hardly believe it when he pointed to the husband and wife pastors.
Of course, I was rejected from the church, never to return. Sadly, the church doors closed one last time approximately six months later (give or take), and was sold. They were apparently starting another church.
I thought perhaps they repented and the Lord was giving them another chance. Only He knows and sees all things. His desire is that none should perish but that all should repent at some point. [2Pet 3:9]
A man was investing money into building them another church, but something went wrong, and he reneged on his offer. At that time it seems as though the Lord was keeping the door closed. I have no idea what became of the couple after that...only hearsay.
That being said, the love of Jesus has always been spoken of whenever I speak on this gruesome, yet necessary discussion of spiritual warfare and witchcraft. I have touched on several topics to show you how every person on this planet can receive salvation, no matter what they have done.
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the one, unforgiveable sin. Howbeit, there will be those who will fall away - a great apostasy will take place, as it is written.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [2Thess 2:3] NKJV
However, His love does not turn a blind eye to wrongdoing – sinning. Some would have you think His love excuses us in many areas, but that too is a lie.
If we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins. [Heb 10:26] ESV
Even Satan and the world are counterfeiting. How many times do you see people do the heart symbol with their hands, or place their hand over their heart. The world's love is superficial. Satan is incapable of love. God's love is agape.
The folks who know they are head-over-heels steeped in sin, doing things privately that only they know about (yet if a sin involves someone else, then they may or may not stand by you). They believe God’s love for them covers their sins. [1Pet 4:8]
It is true that it is written that love covers a multitude
of sins, but read all of chapter four to keep things in context. There are only 19 verses.
That is how you 'test the spirit', but context is crucial. (paraphrased so you will desire to read it for yourself – and so you should. We are to try EVERY spirit to see if it is of God, and that includes me.) [1Jn 4:1]
Just a heads-up. The majority of false prophets and false teachers believe that you 'wholly' trust and love them, so you do not NEED to check them out with the Word. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you, not emotions or feelings. Trust Jesus. The false prophets and false teachers have a massive following.
That is not something I envy whatsoever. It breaks my heart the number of people that follow a popular influencer on social media who are leading them astray. They know a lot of 'big names' in social circles, and determine that they are so popular because they are so 'righteous'.
Read how the one who walks close to the Good Shepherd can expect to be treated as He was. He was persecuted, despised, rejected, mocked, abused, slandered, lied about, criticized, falsely accused, finally crucified.
Yet if anyone rises up to question their doctrines, they say they are being persecuted just like Jesus when in reality it is nowhere near what Christ suffered. Barabbas was notorious for starting insurrections against Roman power and for murder, yet he was released rather than Jesus, the only begotten Son of God.
We will not be perfectly sinless in this carnal nature. Sinless perfection is a false doctrine. As we grow and mature in our walk with the Lord, and come to know Him deeper and more intimately, we will find that we do not want to sin or displease our Father, nor do we want to be separated from Him.
He truly does become our ALL in all. Yet, these bodies of flesh and blood are at enmity with God. It is our fleshly desires, appetites, and urges that we must crucify daily. There are times we all need the help of the Holy Spirit.
Only Jesus walked through this life perfectly without sin;
no other person has. Yet, we cannot say we love Jesus and choose to keep on
sinning. It is not my intention to go into this deeply here, but we need to get grounded in the Word as much as possible, so that we will not be deceived.
We need to keep fresh oil in our lamps (filled with the Holy Spirit). The Word must be written on the doorposts and beams of our heart, washed in the pure blood of the Lamb. I do not believe it means we can sin all we want and “God understands”, and will turn a blind eye to it.
His l-o-v-e
will cover all sin. That is serpent
sweet-talk – lies. Satan has always taken the pure Word of God, twisted it just
enough to change its meaning, and deceive the people so they will continue sinning.
It is important that we allow Jesus to continue His work in
us as we see all that is happening around us. If you are serious about your
walk and your love in and for Jesus (Yeshua), no matter what, we must
press in and endure. He has been calling for decades, but the calls are
frequent and more urgent (intense).
The hour we are in is often referred to as ‘witching season’.
The wicked season, evil times are sprinkled throughout the generations, but evil
is at an all time high. As in the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, we have
genetic manipulation, gender lines not just blurred now, but barely seen as the
lines go from blurring to obliteration. This is the one of the schemes of Satan
and his cohorts.
The shortage of antibiotics and now the threat of removing Tylenol
3s from circulation also reveal a dark agenda. Food, water, medicine, finances,
every area being hit and struck down. Global fires, cataclysmic earthquakes,
cyclones, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanoes – global evacuations.
Are the fires being deliberately set? Is the war to wipe out
certain kingdoms and shift the people to one of the 10 kingdoms Daniel spoke of
in the latter times? Are reports about opiates true? Some reports suggested
that it has all begun as a way to crack down on opiate abuse, such as Fentanyl.
If that is the case, one would have to interfere with Communist
China since Fentanyl originates from there, and then is shipped overseas, with
much coming over the Mexican border illegally (with some hinting at CIAs help).
With all the deception swirling the globe, it is hard to know what is truth –
except the Lord lead.
I would suggest that the real reason lies within the pages of the Bible. The Lawless one will come in the midst of chaos and deception, bringing in peace and truth (whose truth?)
It also has to do with private
meetings between the WHO [World Health Organization], NIH [National
Institutes of Health], WEF, [World Economic Forum], and a handful of
global elites, who have a ‘plan’ in place to control the world and its ‘depopulated’
people, but I would likely hear feedback that I was a conspiracy theorist (rather
than a realist).
I know there is a push to break me down in every arena,
physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. These last two days have
been surreal. I battle saying I have had enough, and then to where I praise God
for seeing me through. I cannot quit, but it is so hard to keep on.
The distractions in the last two days have been astronomical,
as has been the pain levels. Everything from an uncanny number of phone calls
to credit card fraud (thank God my limits on the card is low) but $100 to me is
a lot of money. Praise God I caught it when I did. Now I have to wait
investigation…
I will post this for now, but this is barely the tip of the
iceberg – there are over 67 pages I have here. Pictures and more will be posted
in upcoming time (tomorrow) – Lord willing. Yes, I had to be sure the Lord
wanted me writing. Was He stopping my writing … because I will not interfere in
the Lord’s will.
However, He is so close – it is genuinely like ping-pong. The
battle rages, but that peace is here – indescribable. I will keep posting as led,
but right now I have to lay down.
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. [1Pet4:19]
To be continued…
In His presence
