Come on Church!

COME ON CHURCH!
Wednesday, November 5, 2009


Whether or not we want to accept it, we are in right in the middle of a dark battle. The fighting is all around us! There's a battle going on in homes, work-places, CHURCHES, schools, EVERYWHERE - but they are taking place in the Spiritual realms! Through The Holy Spirit, God can make us aware of the battle and know how live in victory, rather than in the defeat of the enemy. First, we must understand the battle, and how we are to fight the enemy. If we want victory, we must allow The Holy Spirit of GOD to lead us through the battle. other hand, if your army had “intelligence” about the enemy, you could plan for their attack and their reply.

The Bible and The Holy Spirit allows us to see our enemy for who he is and become aware of the spiritual war. Without the Holy Scriptures, we would be fighting an invisible unknown enemy, completely blind and ignorant to their weapons and devices, and maybe we wouldn't even understand or know that we were at war at all...the enemy can deceive! And, he will deceive if we are not wise to his ways! Satan can make manure smell like roses (I tell it like it is) to us if we are not led by The Holy Spirit! We have to be aware and awake! The Bible, revealed through Holy Spirit of God, has totally unveiled the invisible world, which surrounds us at all times. In this spirit world, we have an enemy who is alive and is at war with us, and he wants to stop the kingdom of God from advancing! He wants to hurt God through us! He wants to stop GOD's Work in us and through us! His time is short! Satan and his fallen angels are the enemy! They seek out to take us, destroy us, and to make us ineffective against their work they are trying to do. They are fighting any more souls to be saved through Jesus! This is a battle raging all around us, and the tools and weapons of satan are fully engaged and ready to fight against us in every way in this battle.
WE MUST BE AWARE AND READY!

Satan uses our old man/our past against us! He will use our own human nature to fail to war with us in the spiritual realms. The Holy Spirit who is dwelling in us is our weapon and preparation for the spiritual battles. Through scripture and spiritual conviction, God’s Spirit prepares us for what the battle is, why the battle is, and how to win the battle. Paul in Ephesians chapter 6 tells us all about the equipment of a spiritual warrior...and he describes it and explains how to use it!

'Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.' 1 Peter 5:8-9
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).


11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:11-18)

Therefore, as Holy-Spiritual warriors, we need to know and always be aware of the fact that we are in a battle, and since we are in battle, we should put together our own battle plan, so we can live the victorious life, advancing the Kingdom of God!

PRAY IN THE SPIRIT!

"Which he (God) wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.(Ephesians 1:20-23)

THE DEVIL IS ON THE MOVE! HE IS FIGHTING ALL OF US- I STAND IN THE GAP FOR YOU AND OUR CHURCH! The world is a battleground between truth and error or light and darkness and therefore is a place in which we engage in spiritual warfare. Our battle against the devil is a battle against good and evil, the goodness and power of God against the evil and power of the devil. Therefore we are in direct conflict with the god of this world, "the devil." He has power over the world and the flesh and is our ultimate enemy. However, we are promised the victory in Christ! WE NEED TO STAND AND CLAIM IT! IN JESUS' NAME! NOW FOR OURSELVES, OUR CHURCH, OUR FAMILIES, OUR CHILDREN, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, OUR JOBS, EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

EVIL IS IN THE AIR - AND IT IS THICK YESTERDAY AND TODAY MORE SO THAN I HAVE A FELT IN A WHILE....PRAY! FOCUS ON GOD! PRAY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT! SPEAK OUT AND CLAIM SCRIPTURE IN JESUS' NAME! PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS! WE GOTTA GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS THING! PEOPLE ARE DYING AND GOING TO HELL...PEOPLE NEED TO BE DELIVERED, HEALED, SET FREE! IF WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST...LET'S OPEN OUR MOUTH AND SPEAK AGAINST THE ENEMY AND USE OUR HANDS AND FEET FOR JESUS!!!!! BE WILLING AND OPEN VESSELS AND INSTRUMENTS OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP TO OUR GOD, TO JESUS! AND LET HIM USE US IN THIS STAND AGAINST THE ENEMY! WE CANNOT LAY DOWN AND DIE! WE CANNOT JUST TURN OUR HEAD ANY LONGER! FIGHT, IN JESUS' NAME, THROUGH AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD! FIGHT THE ENEMY IN THE SPIRIT! JESUS HAS ALREADY DEFEATED THE DEVIL BUT WE BELIEVE SATAN'S LIES THAT WE HAVE TO FIGHT! JESUS WON THAT BATTLE! WE ARE TO WALK ON HIM! IN JESUS' NAME! THE DEVIL ONLY WINS WHAT WE LET HIM WIN! TAKE A STAND AND DO NOT WAIVER - FIRM AND UNSHAKEN!

I hate the devil and all he is, all he has done, all he stands for, all he means, all of his lies, his deceit, and his thievery! It is time we come together and stand against him! In Jesus' Name!

Pray in the SPIRIT OF GOD! PUT ON AND KEEP ON THAT WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!

"...Christ in you, the hope of glory." Jesus Christ, Who came as a light in the world, a light that the kingdom of darkness tried to extinguish. But through the sacrifice of Christ, the Son of God, God's gift of Holy Spirit is given to every believer in Christ (Christ in you), in which, through the manifold wisdom of God, one Lord and Light, continues to sow a vast Kingdom of Light.


I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.

Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the victory.

Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory.
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of victory.

Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.
