Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Rev. 12:7-9 "And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
Since the beginning of time Satan has wanted control, and worship; (which he knows belongs to God). Supremely; God is all powerful. Yet, He has given man a choice to serve Him and surrender daily their own fleshly sins so He may lead and be our conquering Lord. All through the Blood of His Son and through the Name above all names: JESUS!
Rev. 12:11 " And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death."
Mark 16:17 "And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;"
In the Name of Jesus, we have been given the AUTHORITY to cast out 'rulers', 'forces' --- Satan; who is the enemy of GOD and His Children! The world today is the darkest it has ever been. I truly believe it is because the majority of the REMNANT is not praying (like it could). Some are exhausted, distracted, maybe uninformed there is a possibility of victories. Irregardless, let me BLOW THIS TRUMPET aloud and let it ring through out the land....WE HAVE THE POWER to tread on serpents and over all the power of the enemy! [Lu. 10:19]
Our children are being sucked into satanic activities due to movies, tv shows and music; right in front of our faces! Thus, we have the authority to attack this through prayer, accompanied by God's Word. Christians are frequenting 'dark environments' and becoming desensitized (numb) to their evil surroundings. God help us! [1 Peter 2:11]
Like the song goes;
"It’s time we, the people, stand up for what is right
It’s time we squared our shoulders back and raised our swords to fight
For the Bible is my weapon and the Spirit is my shield
The Church needs more of its members to be workers in the field." [LINK]
Elderly pastors tell me in earnest that it is harder to pastor today than 30, 40 and even 50 years ago. Let's pray folks, calling out to all spiritual prayer warriors...let's fight with great confidence in our God's power to conquer.
2 Corinthians 10:4
"for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses"
I know I am not alone when I plead: I need a praying army of believers at my side, standing with me as I live for Him and praying with me (as well) as I pray for others. We need the remnant to join as one to pray, and keep praying for great victories. The enemy is fighting harder today than he has in decades. He knows Jesus is coming soon. That God wants all to come to Him so He can welcome them into eternity.
Our family has been reading this book that I want to share a part from the last chapter. A novel all about spiritual warfare, written by a pastor of a small church (at the time).
After experiencing a spiritual victory, the Ashton remnant of believers were rejoicing. Yet, there was still an unresolved battle going on as the evil dark prince of Ashton was fighting against God's General (Tal).
What I loved was this prayer warrior, an elderly widowed saint of God was IN -TUNE to the leading of the Holy Spirit; as she fell to her knees and started weeping and praying. God led her to fight more in prayer, binding the enemy and rebuking him through the Name of above all names: Jesus and His Blood.
Then the remnant of believers joined in as they rebuked 'Rafar' (who brought havoc to this community)..."We rebuke you Rafar!" Edith shouted again. Rafar screamed. Tal's blade had torn him open. ...the angels blade was singing with new resonance." Though he laid wounded Tal could hear the saints were praying!
PRAISE THE LORD! There is Power In The Name of Jesus, and YES; It breaks every chain.
Let's FIGHT in prayer together saints of God. Intercede for one another, for your loved ones, leaders and spiritual leaders. Pray for the church, for missionaries and for the GOSPEL to be preached (and lived) out in the Body of Christ through and through.
AMEN!!!
