Don’t be afraid to fight the spiritual battle first

So many times people are so keen to fight.  Especially in the US were there are fewer people smashed in an area.  Over the last 11 months I have heard Pastors in the US talking about the things that go on when people drive.  Lots of jokes about gestures.  God has something higher.

As believers we must remember that there is more to the spiritual side than there is the physical.  People do things not only because of their culture or family upbringing,  many do things because of what is going on in the spiritual background.

Don’t be easily suckered into physical fights (that includes disagreements, arguments) but focus more on the spiritual during your daily time with the Lord.  Don’t be afraid to fight the spiritual battle as you know.

Ephesians 6:12

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.

 

How To Know Your Dealing With Demons

It is really easy to tell when you are dealing with someone who is demonically controlled.  Here it is

1 Cor. 12:3

3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

Injecting Thoughts

Read a great book called “Every Increasing Faith” by Smith Wigglesworth.  Powerful.  I was stopped by Wigglesworth description of how hell operates. Page 9 says

The devil knows that is he can capture your thought life, he has won a mighty victory over you.  His great business is injecting thoughts, but if you are pure and holy you will instantly shrink from them.  God wants us to let the mind that was in Christ Jesus, that pure, holy, humble mind of Christ, be in us.

Man of God, that he was.  Let’s protect our thought life.

Praying

A praying church knows how to Worship. If a church can’t worship then they need to get time in His presence.

A person of faith

A person of faith who is committed to the Messiah will shrink to anything that is impure and run to Jesus.
