Like it or not, every true Believer is in a War against the powers of darkness from the cradle to the grave. We cannot opt out of it. There is only one war, but many battles.
(Ephesians 6:12) “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this present age, and against wicked spirits in high places (heavenly places)”.

Too many Christians are fighting their battles in the flesh and not in the spirit because they don’t correctly identify their enemy.
They assume that their fight is against men and not against (persons without bodies) or wicked spirits.

These spirits are commissioned to destroy every Christian. It’s frightening when at last the eyes of our understanding are opened and we realize that invisible demon spirits are causing our problems.
It is these spirits that are destroying our marriages, our bodies with sickness, our souls with depression, oppression, and sick minds.
READ: SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACES
These spirits are putting one political party against another. They keep stirring up one race against the other. They turn one race against another, and accuse of racism.
Never attempting to forgive, or correct in love, they destroy any and all attempts to bring unity.
IT TAKES PRAYER, REPENTANCE, AND ASKING FORGIVENESS AND ALSO FREELY EXTENDING FORGIVENESS TO OUR WHITE BROTHER AND OUR BLACK BROTHER.
RACISM IS A WORLD RULING SPIRIT, THAT HAS BEEN LOOSED UPON THE WORLD, AND IS TAKING REVENGE AND EXPANDING IT’S TERRITORY.

IT IS CAUSING HATRED TO EXPLODE IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO REFUSE TO HUMBLY SUBMIT TO JESUS CHRIST, LORD, SAVIOR, AND SOON COMING KING.
Hell is going to be hot for those who refuse to turn their lives over to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Jesus told the people, “WHY DO YOU CALL ME LORD IF YOU DO NOT THOSE THINGS THAT I SAY?” (Luke 6:43)

If you call yourself a Christian then God has to be above your politics. If you put your politics above The Lord God, then politics becomes your God and you become an idolater. No idolater will enter heaven.
If someone commits a crime, they must pay for their crime, yet we are not to hate that person or their race.

Jesus said in the prayer He taught his disciples to pray (The Lord’s Prayer), “…Father, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. (Matthew 6:12-14).
When we live by the Word, and trust God with all our hearts, and forgive everyone, and every race, we will start loving one another.
We will help one another, we will embrace one another and we will see our Country, community, and neighborhoods healed. WE WILL CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER, WEEP WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND REJOICE WITH ONE ANOTHER.
You have a neighbor you need to forgive. You have a spouse you need to forgive. you have a parent you need to forgive. Yes, you have a son, you have a daughter you need to forgive.
GOD’S ABOUT TO SEND REVIVAL TO YOUR FAMILY. YOUR CHURCH IS ABOUT TO BREAK OUT WITH REVIVAL.
YOU’RE LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. GOD’S PRESENCE IS ABOUT TO COME UPON YOUR LIFE. PRAISE GOD.

Child of God, the Apostle Paul tells us in (Ephesians 6:13) “Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to ‘WITHSTAND’ (RESIST) IN THE EVIL DAY, …..
READ; REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE
This scripture tells us that we must have on ‘THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, IF WE’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY.
Everyone of us is going to have an EVIL DAY. That’s a day in which we will face a trial so severe that we would not be able to survive it if we didn’t have on the ‘WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD’.
READ; DON’T DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE WITH DARKNESS IN YOU
It’s not enough to have on just a piece or two of the armor, but we need protection over ever part of our ‘SPIRITUAL BODY’.
“…and having done all to stand, stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth…”
We need to be girded with a wide supportive Belt of Truth. Without the truth of God’s Word we have no foundation, and nothing to build upon.
We need the truth of God’s Word so established in our hearts that when the lies of the Devil come, we won’t doubt God’s Word, His faithfulness, His love for us.
“… and having on the breastplate of righteousness…”
Some differ on this, saying this is talking about the imputed righteousness of Christ. I believe we receive that when we first got saved.
I believe that imputed righteousness is intact only so far as we walk in obedience to Him, and unless we repent of our sin or sins we walk out from under the blood covering just as the Israeli’s would have if they left their house the night the death angel passed over.
They would have all died. All who stayed in their house and who had the blood applied to the doorposts and lintels of their house were spared.
(I John 3:7) “Little children let no man deceive you: HE THAT DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS”.

Unless practical righteousness (obedience to God’s Word) is practiced, imputed righteousness becomes null and void.
“…and have your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace…”

We must have a sure footing, or we cannot even stand to fight. So we need to have proper shoes for battle.
“…and ‘ABOVE ALL’ take the shield of faith wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts (arrows) of the wicked…”
READ: WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES WHAT DO YOU SEE?
We must have a strong shield of faith, or we can’t protect ourselves from the fiery arrows of the devil and demons. If our faith is weak our shield is weak because that’s what it is, ‘A SHIELD OF FAITH’.
A weak shield, or a weak faith cannot keep us from being hit and wounded by these spiritual arrows of hurt and harm. Remember, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17).
“…and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God,
“The helmet of salvation is to protect the head. It gives us our assurance of salvation.

If a deadly fiery arrow from the devil hits us in the head it could be fatal. The helmet protects us from false doctrines, from the lies of the devil, from deception.
“…and take the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God…”
We need to keep our swords sharp, and the only way that can happen is through prayer, walking close to God, and meditating upon the Word of God continually.
(Joshua 1:8) “This book of the Law (Word of God) shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do all that is written therein: Then you shall make your way to prosper and then you shall have good success. Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage. neither be afraid, nor be dismayed, for I the Lord your God am with you, where ever you go”.
“…praying with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (in tongues), and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”.
GO TO: “LORD, WHERE SHALL I GIVE, AND THEN YOU PULLED US UP?|
Prayer is ordained of God and is very powerful, especially when it is mixed with faith. This scripture tells us to pray with all kinds of prayer. It tells us to pray in the Spirit (tongues).
When we pray in tongues of the Holy Spirit we always pray the will of God. When we pray in English it may be hit and miss. At times we may be praying in the will of God and at times we don’t know what to pray for or who at the moment needs prayer.
We need to aim our arrows of prayer toward the target, but if we don’t know where the target is we don’t know where to shoot our arrows.
If we don’t know when and where the enemy is attacking, we may shoot our arrows of prayer in the opposite direction of where the enemy is at.
And if we don’t know when he’s going to attack us, we may be sipping soda’s and relaxing on the couch when the devil and his demons are at your door ready to break it down and rush in and attack.
But, praying in tongues (in the Spirit of God) puts you in direct contact with God and He will reveal when and where to shoot your spiritual arrows.
It will be praying in the Holy Ghost (tongues) and the ‘WORD OF GOD’ that will stop the enemy from shooting you with his arrows of doubt, fear, anger, rage, jealousy, sickness, depression, and lukewarmness.
By putting on the whole armor of God you can defeat every enemy spirit that attacks you, and grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord. Your love for God will increase, and you will become mighty in faith.
