I am calling for war!
This morning I posted a quote from an early church saint who encapsulated the role of each of the holy trinity. He stated that as it is said in scripture that if we knock the door shall be opened. After posting this I went into my prayer closet (the living room) and I spoke with God. I felt it heavy on my heart that I make some declarations and some announcements of forgiveness to people of my past. There was not a long list but it was a start, to say their names and to voice that I do not hold them responsible for things they did and said. I said that only God knows what was in their hearts and minds at the time they did what they did and said what they said. There were a couple that in fact I know were tortured souls and they did not live in this life as God intended and so I released my unforgiveness and hurt and I released my feelings of anger and resentment. The more I spoke the more came to my mind and after quite a long while I felt it necessary to release something else. I called upon the heavenly host and I said, it is time for war. Two months ago I called upon the heavenly host and I told them it is time to release the grace of God and grace we have been receiving in the forms of a stripping away of the falsities and the disguises of not only legal government figures but also of figures in the church. Some people see only the crumbling of trusted pillars of faith, hope and truth but not any further. The grace is in that we who have been given eyes to see, we see past the ribbons and fanfare which fame and society has placed upon these people and we see that somewhere, somehow they lost their way in the truth or never had the truth to begin with.
God is granting us grace and His glory which is His love to have all the fakes and falsehoods torn down in front of us because He knows we have either been denied truth (which is Him) or we have been told lies. Lies about who we truly are and who God truly is, we have been make to think that what we see on television is always truth, that when the history channel or PBS does a documentary that we can take it as gospel but funny how it is they never speak about the real truth. About the amazing son of God, they don't like to speak about Jesus the Christ from Nazareth except in a slight historical sense and only then the truth is dissected and "translated" by professors but not by a freshly renewed soul who has been saved by Christ Himself. Never do they give the microphone to a person filled with the Holy Spirit fire who thanks God with one breath and with the next they invite any and all to join in the banquet that Jesus provides.
Today I felt it deep in me that it is time for the battle to begin and this is a war that cannot be fought with guns and bullets. God says in His word, not by my might, not by my strength but by my spirit says the LORD. When the man brought his son to Jesus and asked him to heal his son, the man stated that some disciples had tried but to no avail. The disciples asked Jesus why they could not exercise the demon from the boy and Jesus said to them, this kind of demon can only be cast off by much prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting, what else did Jesus commonly do? He spent time "up on the mountain." Which was their way of saying he spent time in prayer with the Father. Now comes the time in our history where humans have a chance, a calling to join in the battle that John wrote about but what wasn't explained is that it is fought in God's realm not ours. Yes John saw images and saw blood up to the horses bridles but consider this, has God ever in the history of the bible asked for or said that man must offer blood sacrifice? Think hard.
Things happen in the spiritual realm first and then flesh themselves out in the physical. The sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the cross was determined long before the earth was formed. Gospel of John chapter 1, vv 1-5. Nothing came into being without Him and without Him nothing came into being. God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and instead God provided the ram. God states that He does not desire blood sacrifice but rather the humble and contrite heart of a repentant sinner. We should all have to pay for our sins with our life for nothing unclean shall stand before the throne of a holy God but..God in His mercy through the sacrifice of His only begotten son reconciled Himself to the whole world.
2 Corinthians 5:18
No my friends, God intends us to fight not with our fists because that is man's way and only man would attain the glory of the victory, no, this war is being won and will be won by our faith and our perseverance. I know what many tribulation teachers have said and I have heard them too but it doesn't line up with the true character of God. God in my opinion would not have the battle of good vs. evil be fought in man's way because we cannot truly vanquish evil and dispatch it to be gone forever. Only the heavenly host have that job, they are not angels but heavenly beings God created to fight spiritual battles. Got a spiritual battle raging in your house? Your mind? Call upon your heavenly host to fight the fight for you that is what they are created for. First you must repent of your sins to God the Father and ask for His glory and righteousness to be placed upon you and then with authority of heaven call upon your heavenly host to tear down strongholds and to capture and bind up the princes and principalities and cast them back into hell. Tear down spiritually evil strongholds and turn them to shreds and never to be rebuilt and you, you must work hard to cleanse your heart, soul and mind of things that are not of God. Music, movies, articles you read, magazines that speak of evil acts and you let your mind wander. All these things must be driven out of your heart and home by your wanten act of will and to denounce any further interference from such things coming between you and your relationship with your heavenly Father.
I am far from being where I should be but I am striving and it is important that all of us who are believers of God's word and followers of Christ Jesus to also strive. The battle of good vs. evil will not be won with swords but with praying hands. This war that humanity is in will have an outcome and it will be victory for God and His kingdom and His people but we cannot sit back and be spiritually lazy, we are being asked to read God's word and spend more time with it in a day than we do with idle time and thoughts. We are asked to speak with God and let Him speak to us in return. We are asked to put on the armor of God, think about that! We are to wear God's armor, He wants us protected and safe and victorious!!! We are asked to consecrate our home, our food, our cars and all things in our possession to Him that nothing will be touched or used for anything not having to do with God's kingdom.
Lastly my friends give your minds and heart to Him because He will keep them safe and victorious also. Now is the time for war.
LET'S GOOOO!!!
