Spiritual Warfare
Every war that is fought has opposing sides. In this matter of spiritual warfare there are two sides which are deadly enemies. Their influence is both in the spirit and physical realms of existence. There is no involuntary draft in this war, yet all will be recruited and everyone will choose the side they want to be on; everyone will choose which Commander they will serve. There are recruiters, much like in our physical world, who are very motivated to get as many volunteers as they can. There are rules and guidelines which regulate the recruiter's tactics, yet there are some recruiters who are willing and more enthusiastic than others to employing unlawful, hard handed persuasion techniques and lies. There are recruiters who will take advantage of a person's ignorance and curiosity to get them to come over to their side. They target the many in this world who go through each day blindly, never considering that there is much more to their life than just what meets their eyes; those who totally deny the existence of an ultimate, all powerful Creator: the God who reached down into the dust to form the first body we know as Adam. The unlawful recruiter will use a blend of truth and lies to attract these people's attention and get them to sign-up. The one thing the recruiters cannot do is force you to join their side. That choice, the choice of which side you will be on, of which Commander you will serve is entirely up to you! ( Isaiah 55:4-5 )
War In Heaven In order to understand this spiritual warfare, we need to look at the origin of the conflict. Let's take a look at this war from the Biblical perspective. According to the scriptures and teachings there was a horrible war in heaven, the eternal kingdom of Adonai! Rev.
12:7-9 This war and spiritual conflict came to the earth, threatening the very existence of the earth's inhabitants. This world, our earthly home has become the war's final battleground: this is the fierce battle which is now being fought in the physical and spiritual realms. The mighty spiritual warriors of both sides fought, and are continuing to fight over and for the people which Adonai created, and called to Himself. We know these warriors as "angels"; the servants of their Commanders: Adonai and Satan. Many years ago when Adonai separated a people from the other inhabitants of the earth and called them to serve Him, the old serpent beguiled Adonai's humans, leading them into rebelling against Adonai's Universal Law: that which we commonly call "Nature", or "Natural Instinct." This deception led to a continuous series of cause and effect events which threatened and now threaten to permanently separate the humans from the Presence of their Creator. In order to intercede for His creation and keep this world from being destroyed, Adonai wrote His commandments and His Law on tablets of stone, with His own hand, then gave them to His people. We call the top ten of these Divine Statutes of the Universal Law the Ten Commandments. These Commandments are our guides to how we are to live our lives, and fight in this spiritual war.
Adonai's Temple - Command HQ When Adonai gave His Law to His people Satan was enraged! Satan set out to destroy Adonai's people, attacking them from every side that was physically and spiritually possible. The battle continued to rage, and eventually resulted in the people of Adonai entering into captivity under a brutal pagan Roman government. The priesthood established by Adonai was infiltrated when the Roman rulers assigned Jewish men who were loyal to the Empire to be in authority over the people and priests, subjecting the Levitical Priesthood to their control and influence. Idolatry entered into the Temple of Adonai, and the Temple was defiled. In the following verses the prophet Ezekiel describes an event when he was taken into the spirit realm and shown the defilement of the Temple. Ezekiel
8:3-17 Seeing all these things His people were doing, and knowing the depth of corruption present in His Priesthood and loyal servants greatly grieved Adonai's heart, along with provoking Him to anger. His Law had been turned into a heartless ritual; the spiritual power of His Law had been lost through the priest's disobedience and infiltration. The letter of the Law He had given His people demanded just judgement and punishment, yet Adonai loved His people. Desiring to win back the hearts and minds of His people to His simple truths, Adonai determined to intercede for them Himself. At the appointed time, He entered into time and manifested Himself in the flesh; taking on a body which He would offer as the final, perfect blood sacrifice which was required by His Law. John
1:1-5 John
1:14
Victorious Lord - Our Commander He has become known to the world as Jesus the Christ, but His name in Hebrew is Yeshua: the only begotten Son of Adonai, our God made flesh. As our long awaited for Messiah, Yeshua was obedient to His own Law which required the shedding of blood for the remission of a person's sins. When Yeshua offered Himself up as the final, perfect sacrifice He conquered ALL sin. Thanks to His ultimate self-sacrifice, the victory was won over spiritual death and hell when Yeshua was resurrected from the grave. As believers and servants of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, we also conquer spiritual death and hell through His victory the moment we accept Him as our only Lord. At that moment He becomes our Commander, and we are enlisted in His army. This gift of eternal life for our souls is FREE and is NOT dependent upon ANY religious establishment or organization. His blood washes us clean and sets us free from the spiritual bondage of sin when we confess, repent of, and turn away from our sins. Joel 2:32 Isaiah
25:8 Romans 10:13 When we accept Yeshua, Jesus Christ as our only Lord and Saviour, our Commander, He will save us from the battles that rage in our lives. He assigns His servants, His angels to protect us. He places His Holy Spirit within us to teach and guide our lives, giving us our "marching orders" each day. This is why it is important to have our lines of communication always open. These lines of communication are very simply stated: prayer.
We Are Multi-dimensional Beings Fighting A Multi-dimensional War
Spiritual Warfare is a multi-dimensional conflict involving the physical and spirit realms. A well known physicist has recently began to theorize the existence of over ten separate dimensions in this, our world. Even though he is finally catching up to speed he is still outside the learning curve, stuck in his box of physical existence and proofs. This spiritual conflict is both timeless and contemporary. The affects of this spiritual warfare has influenced our physical existence, our daily lives, and the history of our world; the proof being found in a long historical list of so-called "holy wars," wherein each side fought the other to the death, so they could spread the good news of a Great Creator. Unknown to them, the physical armies were commanded and empowered by unseen forces to annihilate their opponents, and pave the way for the ultimate captivity of God's people. As an example, the Crusades and the Inquisition were tools of murder which were used against anyone who dared to resist the dark power of Roman authority.
Hyper-dimensional Cause and Effect In the Spirit Realm there is no time, or space. When people have visions from God, their souls are forever changed at that moment when their body bound souls are taken by the hand of God to where ever the message is to be delivered from. Their souls are witnesses to the scenes shown to them, while their spirit bodies/souls are renewed by the Source of all life. At the appointed moment they are returned to their limited physical existence and are again subject to time; fully re-energized by the power of God for the purpose they are called to; with a message they are to deliver. Those who experience visions from God have a calling on their lives to do a specific task, accomplish a certain mission. The vision is often a call to the person to make an important choice in their life. Whoever has a near death experience will never be the same person they once were. All the cares of this world come into crystal clear focus and are seen as they really are: trivia in the over all view of the creation. The reason for this is that they experience their true existence as spiritual beings. There is nothing hidden in the spirit realm, it's a come as you are thing. The state of our spiritual existence affects our physical being. Any injury which occurs to our spirits and souls actually has an equal, lateral effect on us in our physical bodies. In spiritual warfare this is manifested as illness, weakness, fatigue, depression, cancer...endless possibilities. Remote Viewing techniques have been used by the Super Power governments of our world to discover their opposition's national secrets; this is a powerful tool in the hand of the experienced practitioner. Remote Viewers are said to gain access to the "Universal mind," what we commonly call the spirit realm. The rigors of Remote Viewing demand strict adherence to their protocols. Because there is no "time" in the spirit realm, these practitioners can view past, current and future events and activities. These practitioners are influenced by their activities and their contact with other spiritual investigators, and run the risk of falling to deception, if they are not firmly established in spiritual truth and the tactics of spiritual warfare. The main difference that separates these Remote Viewers from Adonai's prophets is their intent. If they are not serving in Adonai's will, there is only one other option...
The Essential Elements In every daily battle there are victors and losers. The injuries inflicted in the spirit realm will manifest in the physical realm. Why is this? To consider how spiritual warfare affects our lives, we need to review the essential basic elements of our whole being. We are multi-dimensional beings: Physical and Spiritual. We were created in the image of Adonai, the Creator: Father (spirit); only begotten Son, Yeshua (body, incarnate); Holy Spirit (soul).
These three elements of God's existence: body, soul and spirit, are individual, yet form the whole = One. Each element has it's own mind and consciousness, yet are united as the One God and Creator: 3 in 1. God the Son - Yeshua - Body: Conscious influence God the Holy Spirit - Soul: Subconscious influence God the Father - Spirit: Unconscious influence Our physical beings are also multi-dimensional in that we were created in the image of our Creator: body, soul, and spirit. Each of these elements of our being has it's own mind, or consciousness; energy level and vibratory frequency. As humans with fleshly bodies (some more than others) we are one part physical, and two parts spiritual. This fact must be considered and remembered by all who enter into spiritual warfare for our personal protection; for when we enter active interaction of our souls and spirits through prayerful, spiritual intercession for others, according to Adonai's Law; when we assist in exorcisms or deliverances of the possessed. Let's look at each element of our whole being:
We understand that one third of our lives is that which we can see, yet the greater part is that which cannot be seen: the spirit realm. A reasonable person would conclude that this greater part of our lives deserves much more consideration than we presently give it. The concept that we are multi-dimensional beings is not considered by most people. "What you see is what you get" summarizes their philosophy on life. This limited concept of their existence creates a sort of "dumbing down" of their senses, closes off their conscious understanding, and makes them pawns in the hands of those who not only know the truths of their physical/spiritual existence, but are masters at manipulating the elemental "energies" and associated entities to control the spiritually ignorant. Regrettably, it is the strength of the intentions and wills of these practitioners and recruiters for the opposition, through the powers they serve, that endanger the innocent, and over overwhelm their freewill. These practitioners are those who represent themselves as honored masters: those who put forth the power of force into their rites and ceremonies through the calling forth of the influencial power of their "energies."
Fighting Position: Stand on the Rock This spiritual war we are engaged in, from the Believer's standpoint, is fought from a position of strength and supreme authority: the rock solid foundation that Yeshua Himself established on this earth. In His, our Commander's Name and Authority we have the strength to enter into and win the victory of our daily battles. Joel
3:9-10 The powers of the opposition's Commander, Satan, are limited. He is a defeat foe who hasn't accepted his fate. He continues for a short time to influence those who follow him, but in the end, when it is time, Satan will be judged and be flat on his face before the throne of Adonai. Isaiah
45:23 Romans
14:11 Philip.
2:10 A Word of Caution: For His believers, it is in Yeshua's (Jesus Christ's) name and authority that we enter into spiritual warfare, NEVER our own. Fighting and interceding in any other name will result in ultimate failure and your captivity under another entity. You will be a prisoner of war!
Warfare Tactics Subconscious Mind Control Through mind control techniques designed to capture a person's soul (subconscious mind control: i.e., caging) the opposition's recruiters, false prophets, teachers, and miracle workers will and have gained the acclaim and trust of the world. This is "Psy-Ops": Psychological warfare operations. This is part of the "strong Delusion" spoken of in scripture. 2 Thes.
2:11-12 The main battlefield of this war is in the mind: conscious, subconscious and unconscious. In order to fight a loosing battle, the opposing army must change the way an individual thinks and perceives the reality of their life, in order to make him/her believe their lies and gain their trust. They know that whomever they can get to ally themselves with them, whomever they influence to willfully turn away from, or act against God's truth and commandments, they will gain control over that person's mind, control, and perception of their life. "al.ly 1: to unite or form a connection between 2: to connect or form a relation between; to form or enter into an alliance." (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary) "Become an ally or associate, as by a treaty or marriage." (WordWeb) The importance of alliances is very significant in spiritual warfare and Psy-Ops. It's all about which side you're fighting on, and who you make an alliance with. Whomever you choose to serve, which ever side you're on, that is the power and authority you will have to fight with. The connection formed in an alliance is powerful, even to the extent of making simple truths appear as lies, or visa versa. The connection is onto our entire beings, and in deliverances or exorcisms, must be severed by the freewill use of the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God), and the renouncing of alliances, all in Yeshua, Jesus Christ's name.
Beware The Cult Masters Some people with very strong personalities may not realize the impact, influence and control they hold over people...while others know exactly what they are doing. Following the guidance of their spirit guides, some Cult Masters develop their skills of subconscious mind control at a very early age. The overly attentive, energetic, "gifted" child who is out going and takes a "natural" lead during his early school years quickly realizes the power he holds to influence others. If this child lacks proper guidance and chooses to pursue the path of negative forces, he may become an outlet for the possession of many unwitting souls. It is in the earliest years of childhood that parental love, guidance and discipline is essential in teaching the child every aspect of how his/her choices will affect their life and their future. When children are left to the influences of the world, they will become what the world wants them to be. Our present society encourages the development of mental power and physical force: a survivor mentality. This survivor mentality, when combined with a messianic complex, led by the forces of Satan, creates a type of person who has a powerful, mind controlling influence on his/her followers. This is the type of person who's goal is personal gain at the expense of other's welfare, will use and manipulate others to do their will no matter what it takes. This type of person can be found in cults and regrettably, even our churches today. We can see and study this Cult Master personality in a person like Charles Manson, a well known Satanist who used the forceful power of his presence and spirits to deceive and encage the minds and freewills of his followers. The Manson followers had the added influence of their involvement in the drug culture to dim their perceptions of Charles. When they allied themselves with Manson his powerful, Satanic character and entities subdued them, first gaining control and influence over their subconscious, then eventually their conscious minds. He made them accept his will as their greatest desire: his will became the most important goal in their lives. They gave themselves over to him completely, and became tools of murder in his hands. For a reward for their obedience Manson imparted to them his power, his demons who made them feel like they were in the presence of a god. The rest is history.
Who Is Susceptible To Mind Control? What kind of person is susceptible to this form of mind control? Everyone. If you don't have a moral foundation to build on and stand on during the times you will be tempted and recruited, you will fall. For those who do have a moral foundation built upon the Rock Who is Yeshua, Jesus Christ, and who have strong convictions, the danger is following any false teacher, or accepting ANY false teachings or influences into their lives. Whomever, whatever you ally yourself with, that thing, person, or teaching becomes your master.(See Capturing the Hearts and Minds) James
1:13-15 James
1:8 The moral foundation of your life, along with the guidance of the Holy Spirit will help you as a Christian or Messianic Jew to identify the false prophets and teachers of our age, and eventually that one False Prophet spoken of in the Revelation. Rev.
16:13-15
How Do You Know The Truth From The Lies? Do not give your life away to anyone. Know who your friends are, who you are being taught by, and where they stand in God's Word. Don't allow those who do not have your best interests in mind to deceive you. Learn to test the influences in your life, and the spirits of those influences, to see where and how they measure up to the Lord's teachings. 1 John
4:1 1 John
4:2-3 John
14:6 If you are taught a doctrine that goes against the Word of God, the Bible, then you need to take the time to "go to ground": get on your knees and pray about it. Communication with your Supreme Commander is essential in all these matters of psychological spiritual warfare.
The Affectual Prayer Of The Righteous Availeth Much The power of prayer is not a toy to be played with, not just a "belief" to be mocked. Prayer is one of the most powerful weapons, or tools for good or bad in all of creation. Why? Because the individual is connecting with their higher command, their source of power, whether it be God, or Satan, to accomplish whatever the goal is. Many experiments have been performed to determine if 1 -1,000 + people can affect the physical laws of this earth through prayer and spiritual intention. A quick search of the Internet will reveal the success of several experiments which were promoted by a couple of influential radio talk hosts who intended to change the course of hurricanes, stop droughts, bring rain to drought stricken areas to put out forest fires, and to heal the sick, to name just a few. In these experiments, millions of people were guided to focus their intentions and prayers on whatever the goal was. The results were so successful and powerful that the experiments were stopped out of fear that the natural calamities they were trying to avoid might in fact be diverted and moved to another location; in the case of a massive hurricane, allowing the hurricane to be increased in power and to strike elsewhere with devastating, life threatening force. It was a wise decision to stop dabbling without experience in something that had the potential of creating the very earth changes they feared.
Divine National Intervention The unified prayer of a Nation can and does end droughts, pestilence, and famines. God Himself has told us, 2 Chron.
7:14 On May 14th, 1948 the rebirth of the Nation of Israel was an act of God, in response to the murderous attacks which threatened to destroy His people, and in answer to His people's cry for help. That night the tiny Nation was ruthlessly attacked by five Arab countries intent upon the total destruction of every Jewish life in their way. Israel was immediately embroiled in the first of many wars which would test the faith of, and result in the miraculous deliverance of the Jewish people, against all overwhelming physical odds. This is the greatest example of God's love and provision for His people, all who call upon His Name. This was the second Exodus. We Do Not War After The Flesh Those of us who are involved in spiritual warfare are fighting an ageless battle for our own souls and the souls of others: the innocent. 2 Cor.
10:3-5 Our most powerful weapon given to us is the ability to instantly communicate, commune with and receive commandments and guidance from Adonai, through prayer; either spoken or thought. When a person prays to their deity as we say, "with all of our heart", they are communicating their intentions through their soul/spirit. Whether that person is a follower of Yeshua or Satan doesn't matter, the prayer is still effective, and carries with it the power of the Commander of that person's life. It is the person's freewill choice of deity which determines their captivity or obligation of obedience and service. Everyone will choose their own master, their own Commander for this warfare: Adonai or Satan. That is the simple choice. Proverbs
27:18 This is the ol' by their fruits ye shall know them reference. Isaiah
24:2 We are influenced by those we serve, fellowship, and live with. Matthew
10:24-25 You will take on the characteristics of your master, your warfare commander. Choose wisely whom you give your life to. We will reap the rewards we sow. If we faithfully serve the Victor, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, we reap the blessing of eternal life. If we choose to serve Satan, we reap whatever it is that he, the defeated, fallen angel will heap upon us: temporary pleasure, power and dubious honor at best; in the end eternal death of our souls.
Prepare For Daily Battle Every day, before we enter into intercession, even the moment we wake-up, we need to ask the Lord to place upon our body, soul and spirit; conscious, subconscious and unconscious, His complete protective armor. This is all encompassing and necessary to avoid the darts of the wicked and their influences on our thoughts and dreams. As you become more experienced and involved in spiritual warfare you will see the value of wearing the armor each and every day and night. Ephes.
6:10-18 An example of this principle of "putting on the whole armour of God"can be seen in a prayer group which is interceding for someone, or for some purpose. As they come together in prayer, the Holy Spirit joins with them and guides them in the prayers. At the same time the opposition is doing whatever they can to counter-act the prayers. They will even attack or control a person if they are open to attack. The telephone will ring, babies will start to cry in their strollers or beds...anything that will divert our attention from the purpose the Lord sets before us.
Do All Things In His Will At His Time It is important to remember that our purpose here at this website and in life is to serve the Lord's perfect will and to teach the liberating of captive souls through Yeshua's, Jesus' name and power. For this purpose we are required to be witnesses of God's grace, not advocates for His judgment. To be effective in this purpose we must work and assist others through humility, Adonai's endless love and compassion, and the singleness of our commitment of accomplishing the Lord's purpose and perfect will. We must set the example for others to follow, showing no compromising in our morals and standards; no doubt; no uncontrollable fear; no worry. Worrying is a demonstrated lack of faith in God's provision for us and our needs. In the heat of the battle, we must be able to stand against the wiles of the devils, in the Lord's Name, power, and ultimate victory. Don't allow yourself to be rushed into any exorcism or deliverance. The Process for exorcism and deliverance requires the host to have a good knowledge and understanding of how and why they became possessed, unless they are under-aged or mentally incapable of complex concepts, because they must by their own freewill cast them out. All things have there perfect time in Adonai's perfect will. Study and research will reveal many "doorways" which may otherwise go unclosed, causing greater problems. This preparation time will also strengthen the host' faith and dispel any doubt that is put into their mind. Preparation is extremely important! Do it right the first time so there will not be any opportunity for the entities to return and make the host' life a worse hell. Matthew
12:43-45 In all things give glory and praise to the Lord! Trust and have faith in Him in all things and all situations. There is no other power or authority which is greater than the Creator of all creation! |
