WARFARE WHISPER
 
There was a question asked about the book “The Power of God Unveiled”.
How/Why would a demonic force sit in an empty house for so long after a family is gone?
 
What was mentioned in the book was that it is important to bless a new residence or place where you will dwell. Understand that we are in spiritual warfare. There is nothing natural. Everything has some type of spiritual reasoning, yet we are not always in the spiritual realm of things, but often walk in the natural realm. Because of this we experience time frames. However, Jesus Christ is eternal. These demonic forces, rules, powers, that we wrestle with are not our natural realm of time. The Word says that a day in the Lord is like unto a thousand. So, if an enemy waits in a house for two years knowing that you will be there, it has only been minutes or hours and you’re well worth the wait. Just because you belong to Jesus these demonic forces are waiting to wreak havoc, create chaos, steal, kill, and destroy. You know these things. Remember what warfare is about. The battle is all about winning souls. Step aside and think for a minute about a time you were dealing with anger. I will admit there was a few times I was furious with someone and I drove all night and then sat and waited and waited for them to get off work and get home. I sat for hours just for the opportunity to tell someone off. I mean the hours went by and it was like only a vapor of time. It didn’t phase me one bit. That’s how it is when dealing with differently demonic forces. There is no concept of for them. So, you cleanse yourself as well as cleanse your house with high praise and worship and much prayer as lead by the Holy Spirit. The first time I blessed my home I wasn’t as spiritually sensitive and the Lord led me to put oil on the walls and also read scriptures at the same time to eliminate some of the fear I had subconsciously. Regardless, of the spiritual situation we must keep the flesh under subjection. Maintain spiritual sensitivity so you know what you are dealing with and continue to be watchful and prayerful.

​ TESTIFYING TIME
YIELDING TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD
 
Sometimes we find that we go through things for learning lessons, teaching tools, or sometimes we can find ourselves in jacked up situations because of a failure to yield to the Holy Spirit.
Soon after going forth into ministry the Lord had poured upon me in a way that I couldn’t have fathomed. It was more than a zeal. There was a desperation within my self to share that same experience or encounter. Gifted with the healing, the Lord instructed me to go forth and that I would lay hands on the sick and that they would recover. It was something that couldn’t be explained. I would write letters and the words of the Lord would heal. I would send cards and I would pray for people and they’d recover, even people that were on life support. The Lord would even heal and give extensions of life to those that weren’t “saved” simply because of a prayer of faith. Stay with me. I’m going somewhere. The thing is, I wanted people to be healed and delivered the way that I had been. I wanted them to feel what I felt. I wanted to show the compassion the way Jesus showed the compassion me. He was the very reason why I moved, why I had my being. I can humbly say that I was after the heart of God. Sometimes you can get to a place where you are so saturated with the presence of God that you don’t know where you end and He begins. You’re completely one with the Lord. The flesh is dead. His Spirit is in unity with you. You lose yourself in Jesus. Then He really starts to do a work. Where he says a “greater works” will you do. The thing is, you can have the greatest heart toward Him with the purest of intentions and wind up a wounded warrior on the battlefield for Christ simply because of failure to yield.
We must maintain the spiritual oneness given by the Holy Spirit to be sure we operate in the spiritual timing of the Most High. A prime account of this is Moses when as much as he spoke face to face with the Lord and he was instructed to speak to the rock (see Numbers 20:7) yet in His emotional passion he smote the rock instead and interfering with God receiving the complete glory in that particular test. In another account was King David ushering in the ark of God into the city. The spirit of God was saturating the people so that they lifted up praise unto the Lord. And yet there was a new cart and the Spirit of God began to fall and Uzzah put his fleshly hand and took hold of it and therefore died because of a failure to yield to the Spirit of God. So that example was made in the midst of praise and worship.
So, with these things being mentioned let us be sure that with all of our getting we get an understanding of what the will of God is in each situation. Many times, the Lord showed me favor in my gift because I was learning to do His will. He winked at my ignorance because the work was done in love and as the Word speaks, love covers a multitude of sins.
Many have been gifted by the Lord through His Spirit to do a work. It is important to hold dear the fact that as much as we love the work of the Lord, and we love to bless others, we must love Jesus more and we must be after His heart to know His will for each situation we are involved in. Jesus doesn’t just operate on emotion but with righteous judgment. Some things tat may seem small on the surface have much more meaning than we realize in the spiritual realm. These things are all tied to the fear of the Lord. What’s a healing or a deliverance if it’s something to just behold? If it’s not for a stretch of faith or to be conducive to a manifestation of a relationship with Jesus? We interfere with God’s glory that He said He would absolutely not give to another! This is the time to recognize the seriousness of the hour. Hold dear to the accounts of the Holy prophets that He has sent to demonstrate what to do and what not to do. You are armed and dangerous. The enemy knows it. Use the armor properly according to the will and purpose of Christ. Put the enemy to flight and remember that His sheep hear His voice.

​THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A CHURCH HURT


Think about the time you first received Jesus as your Savior. When you’re in the world you understand it because it was the world so the hurt isn’t as bad. However, when you decide on Jesus and you know His peace and you’re at a place in Him where it seems like you’re on a mountain top. Then some have sais alright I will make an attempt at this thing called church. Then somewhere along the lines you meet the church drama squad and those that want to devour you if they could. You’re getting friendly fire before you even learn the meaning of the phrase. You’ve got haters without cause. You encounter liers in wait. Folks want to pimp your anointing and use your gifts and talents for their own personal propaganda strategies all the while treating you like you’re nothing and that you should be grateful to even be alive and in their presence. They take your ideas and act like that’s the least you could do. Meanwhile you’re pushed into a corner thinking that all you wanted was a healing. All you wanted was a deliverance. All you wanted to grow your personal relationship with Christ and experience true fellowship.

Psalm 55:12-13
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and ever more. He didn’t let church stop him from doing His job and fulfilling His mission. We must not allow ourselves to be intimidated by others who fail to walk in the integrity of Christ. Jesus is real. His Word is real. The warfare associated is real. We must count the cost and decide if we will carry the cross to the finish line. There’s been tares planted in our midst, even as a footstool to propel us into our victory in Christ. We cannot allow the heathen to dictate our decision to walk uprightly before the Lord. Remember everything we encounter goes back to fear of the Lord. When you know Him, you know His Word will stand and will be accomplished in His time. We cannot deny the power of God by not applying what has been taught to our lives, meaning we must walk in the Word with expectation and yield to the Holy Spirit so that He can give the increase of righteous fruits as well as judgment.
Praise the Lord

​Toxic Relationships…Not all are of us


Romans 9:6
Not as though the Word of God hath taken none effect, For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would no doubt ha ve continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

There is a simple Word of encouragement that states to break away from toxic relationships. These relationships that are not going anywhere in Christ and that are not edifying. There is an account of Jehoshaphat that gives this very instruction. As much as he had  his heart set to seek after the Lord, he on numerous occasions had connected himself with people who were ungodly and didn’t have any intent on seeking the true righteousness of the Most High. This is when the Lord broke his work that Jehoshaphat was doing and we heard no more of him other than that he slept with his fathers.
II Chronicles 20:35-37
And after this did Jehoshaphat King of Judah join himself with Ahaziah King of Israel, who did very wickedly:
And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made ships in Ezion-Geber.
The Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

As much as we want people to go with us, they are not all Israel who claim to be. No need to have sorrow when you see what you see or hear what you hear. We all have been given the opportunity to surrender to the Lord and seek after His Spirit.
Some of us may be in a toxic relationship with someone. You know the character of that person. You’re hoping if you stay and keep pushing things will change, you can built them up when in actuality the relationship is tearing you down. They are set in their way and have no intent having a heart change. Be sure you are striving toward an expected end in truth and righteousness. Their fruits will show.

Jehoshaphat is a prime testimony of how someone can have great plan for the Lord and intentions but they keep connecting with the house of Ahab in some kind of way. What good can come of that? There is a way that seems right to a man but the end is destruction. Get rid of ungodly connections so that the Lord can enlarge your territory. Get people out of your circle that do not mean you well. Get rid of hangers on that think that your inheritance is theirs. They must know Jesus for themselves. This is spiritual warfare. Know them that labor among you. Eliminate false brethren out of your communications. Some of you know that the only reason you keep them around is because a part of you wants them to see a little of what the Lord is doing in you and for you. Get over yourself. Guard your heart. Guard your household. Fight that you may obtain. For those who endure to the end shall be saved.

Mary vs. Martha Syndrome

We are going to revisit this scripture that we studied a few months ago…

Luke 10:40-42
But Martha was cumbered about with much serving and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Many of us like the thought of being a servant to the Most High but are not thrilled about the responsibility that comes with that servitude. To some it is a good topic of conversation. However, we must understand the reason behind the service. There is a spirit behind what we do. Whether we operate in the Spirit of God or whether some other force.
The Jesus spoke of what was most necessary, it was the worship. The good part was the supplication and being in the presence of God. If you don’t want to be in his presence while you’re here in your spiritual walk then How can you look forward to life on high with Him? Let not your works be in vain because your heart is not passionate toward the purpose of the work, which is saving that which is lost. When we study much of the book of Revelation the Lord starts by saying I know thy works! We must do a self check to be sure that the reason for our works is for the purpose of maintaining a close relationship with Christ.

Martha mentioned that her sister left her alone. Sometimes it seems like we are all alone in this spiritual battle often called life. Be careful what you ask for. Sometimes we desire for more faith or to go higher in Christ but it requires more from you. Some things must be done alone because those you are attempting to carry with you do not have the same mission or the same anointing, nor are they willing to do what it takes.  Jesus reminded Elijah there were yet 7000 that he still had reserved which had not bowed the knee. Lay aside the weights and cares with praise and worship and Jesus will continue to reveal Himself to you. Be not weary in well doing. Do not go astray. Follow to see the end result. Those who endure to the end will be saved.

Knowing the seriousness of the hour we must be mindful that witchcraft is rapid in the Christian sector. Those who once started with us are no longer with us. During the month of October many celebrate pagan holidays as if it were no big deal, its all in fun, but we know otherwise. Be ever so mindful of the enemy’s intent and oftentimes intents change with knowledge. There is a saying that we cannot have our cake and eat it too. Know that Jesus will not tolerate two opinions. Who is on the Lord’s side? We must overcome. No matter the Lord allows remember that your life has been designed for the Glory of God and to show forth the power of His love. The Word of God shares with us that disobedience is as a sin and a witchcraft. The Lord also considers disbelief to be as sin. If we believe then we show with actions of obedience. He commanded us to seek Him. He commanded us to praise Him. He commanded us to love. There is no time to waver or to doubt. Warfare is not pretty. It is not a time to put on aires and act like everything is fine. Study to show yourself approved. Fast. Turn over the plate until you get answers. Repent. Having done all that you can do stand and see the salvation of the Lord. The Lord gave us a situation with Peter. Peter feared, even though he walked with Jesus. Peter stated to Jesus that he was ready to not only live for Jesus but to die for him. See Luke 22:31-32
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, Behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
We have all been in that type of situation when we feel like we are will do live and die for Jesus but yet when the tests and trials have been allowed we question the Lord’s plan and his will and purpose for our lives. Then we pray for more faith without being willing to do what it takes to obtain that very faith we asked for. Watch and pray. Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage. Fear the Lord knowing that He will perform His will in this earth and in your life. Fret not yourself because of evildoers and those who seem to be prosperous in their ways. As King David, the servant of the Lord said, He looked for his enemies, and they were no more.
