WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL WARFARE?

Spiritual Warfare is a subject that no one wants to hear about, seems to be a scary subject for some, well I suppose most. It is real, and it is a battle that happens to everyone everyday. My opinion is this, with faith in the Lord is a sure way of fighting the demons that Satan sends after us, and when he can't do it, he will send 7 more in there place, the Bible states that clearly.

My opinion is that if we don't have some wisdom on what we are fighting how are we to know what we up against. Wisdom is the way to the Lord our Father.

If God didn't want us to have the knowledge of the beast that thought he could take God's place then he would not have informed us of him in the Bible.

Wisdom gives us strength.

Knowledge of the evil that surrounds us daily, drives us; well, it should drive you closer to God.

Fear of Satan is something we need to have, otherwise we would all be running a muck, hatred filling our hearts instead of love, revenge instead of forgiveness, immoral acts instead of self respect for our selves and others, trust in each other. How would we be able to even know love without understanding evil.

God does give us freewill, to live for him and to fully understand him. He wants us to know the truth the whole truth, so we can walk in faith with him.
Satan fools us into thinking things that are not the truth, he doesn't want us to understand, that is why we need to know. Satan is tricky and sneaky, so therefore it isn't hard to fall from grace and live in sin, and yet he still makes us think that it's alright. Satan doesn't even want us to know the truth about him, for if we do he knows that he will loose a lot.

Read through the other post, I hope it helps you understand and gives you strength.

This is why it is important to understand Spiritual Warfare.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6

CAN SOMEONE BE POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL?

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Satan is sneaky he can put thoughts into your head and convince you that it is God talking to you, he can cause you to have anger issues,self esteem trouble, issues of not letting go, blame issues, trust issues, the list just keeps going on and on.

God gave us free will to serve him, so that means he want us to choose to love and serve him. He gives a choice, to have peace inside ourselves or havoc inside our selves. The sad thing is, is that a lot of people know about God and Christianity and faith, yet they don't know God personally. That is a BIG statement, unless you really know you can't even begin to imagine the inner peace and love you feel all the time. Your thinking changes, your views on life is different, and there are so many more experience you get when you live for God.

Satan already has his hooks in sinners, non-believers of Christ, they are lost souls, so he has no need to continue to attack them their lives are already sad,their souls are hardened, by unforgiving of themselves and of God. Worry,Stress fills their lives. So Satan lets them on their pathway to hell,What he wants is the people who turn themselves over to Christ. He wants them to loose their salvation, have their place in heaven removed, and the only way he can do this is by fighting with us everyday. Trying to get us to doubt our faith in God, make us feel that we are not worthy of his love, because of our past transgressions, but we have to remind ourselves that God forgave us of our past sins when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Saviour. We know that as long as we keep our relationship with God everyday, asking for strength,forgiveness, we will never loose our place in heaven.

Rebuking the Satan is a way of running him away, however he will return,so in order for us to be strong in our battle with him we have to keep our relationship with God strong.

Can Someone Be Possessed by the Devil?

There are many stories in the old Testament about Demon Possession, that was before Jesus Died on the cross for us.
The Bible does not lie, so my answer would be yes. If you are saved (reborn) then my answer would be no.
My reason for this answer would be because, God gifts us the holy spirit to dwell within us when we get or turn our lives over to him, and because the Holy Spirit is the trinity, meaning God, why would God allow the Holy Spirit to live in us and share a space with the devil, he wouldn't. Now that is not to say that he can't put thoughts into our heads, because he can.
If you are not saved by Christ, then your soul (spirit) does not belong to God, because you live in the sight of Satan, then gives the devil open invitation to dwell in you. If you backslide and allow the devil to guide you in life by living in sin and loosing your salvation then it could happen.

Exorcism audio tapes of Annelese

These videos are reportedly true.... this is so scary...... this gives me nightmares.... for the mere fact that it can happen......... my soul belongs to our Lord God gives me comfort......... however, it still horrifies me that this happens to people and so much of it is not recorded........ or talked about for fear of being called crazy.... but if we believe in God then we must believe in the devil and his powers too.........
In research, I found that not all possessions are not as severe as the videos above.......
they walk around us as normal people, mean, hateful, unforgiven, sexually immoral,etc.....

Please I hope after viewing this that you find enough belief to find God, and turn yourself over to him. This would be the only way to truly fight Satan.

DOES THE ILLUMINATI WORSHIP THE DEVIL?

2012-09-26T13:55:00.002-07:00

I have read on many sites that the Illuminati, is the work of Satan. They are the follower's of Satan and worship him. They are slowly without our even being aware that we are falling to sin through everyday life leading us to him through our actions and acceptances of sinful behaviour. Morals here in the world are shot, and no-one thinks twice about the actions of life anymore, because it has become so common and normal. But the fact remains is that we all need to re-educate ourselves on living as Christians and apply them to our lives. Go against the grain, and live for God and not in the flesh or because everyone else is doing it. There are more churches falling due to this it's must be OK because they are Christians so we will accept it, WRONG! God even says it in the Bible that these churches will fall and will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Now whether you believe the Illuminati are in fact real and these rumors are true,we still live in this society, and these actions will eventually happen the bible says so. Now I am no bible scholar, but I do know what the Bible says. It may not be to extent to what people are saying about the Illuminati, but it will and is going to happen, so we need to be prepared.

Satan leads us in many directions, and can fool us like tomorrow even devoted Christians face this battle everyday. As Christians we should know the difference, as ask would God do this? and if the answer is no then neither should we.
I know that sounds a lot easier said than done, and I can vouch for that I consider myself to be a devoted christian, however I am no perfect and God knows that, that is why he sent his son here for us so that we may be forgiven for our sins. He loves us and will forgive us,if we ask him too and really truly mean it from our hearts and God knows if we really do mean it, after all he knows us better than we know our own selves.

We do know for sure with evidence that this group has been here since 1776. We know that for a fact that they were involved with the Freemason, which everyone knows played a huge role in our government, money the buildings our government have and the politics that goes on. Do they still have that much control over our government.

The Bible states that in end times there will be many Antichrist, this being said we know of several in leadership that could have very well been one, for example Adolph Hitler. Being said that a group or secret society could count as many.

Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

If rumors are correct this group of people could have high influence on the people as a whole, gradually pulling our morals away from God, The Bible does mention something about being fooled by this, and a Christians we should know the difference. This is why also many Christians get ridiculed in today's time.

Could the Illuminati have something to do with taking prayer away from us in public places, openly worshiping God, taking away our freedom of religion, which is in the constitution which was based on Christianity, not atheism, or whatever the retarded belief is, the one not believing in god, heaven or hell.

Satan does have a way to pull our minds away from God our heavenly Father,the creator of all men.
It is our place as Christians to take a stand, and fight back.

Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

Revelation 16:14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.

Ephesians 6 :12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

Is this what we are doing when we spread, tell, inform everyone about this secret society, and there history. In hopes that you find your way back to God and live for him instead of the flesh, getting away from the immoral behaviour that is all around us today.

Grab your Bible, open the pages and read the word, pray to God, to give us strength and forgiveness.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life

SPIRITUAL WARFARE FIGHTING THE BATTLE

SPIRITUAL WARFARE FIGHTING THE BATTLE

Satan is a strong force, but isn't as strong as God. He can come to you unsuspected, much like a snake in the night.

This will be my one of my many attempts to post this, seems every time I do, the little pink banner at the top keeps saying an error has occurred while trying to save my post, then suddenly it goes blank loosing my writing, but that's OK, I will continue with it anyway.

Satan is sneaky he can put thoughts into your head and convince you that it is God talking to you, he can cause you to have anger issues. The devil can also cause you to get angry quick with others that haven't really done anything.

He can try to hold you back and when you find yourself still running towards God, he fights even stronger to keep you at his wimb.

For us Christians fighting the war against Satan is a everyday battle, because he doesn't want us to be with God. He wants us to hurt God just as he has done.

When you find yourself in a situation, stop and pray to God, He hates that. He will leave but rest assure he will be back. Pray and ask God to give you strength to fight him. He will not win the battle.

It's Sunday morning and my battle this morning is finding myself very irritated with everything, my husband is one and he hasn't even done anything, he is still asleep. Funny to most I am sure, but is true. Irritated with trying to write, and every time I type in anything to do with God and rejoicing the Lord it seems when I hit the enter key my work is gone. Where does it go?

I have just started writing on faith in God and have several different blogs going and am finding myself getting irritated. My work seems to disappear, I have some articles on Bukisa and what happens can't log into my account and my articles that have been there for several month have just disappeared. LOST!!!! I thought maybe I could earn a little money, by spreading God's word and do it full time. I still need to pay my bills, and doing it by spreading God's word at the same time, it's perfect, there is nothing better than help people find God and to help those who have learn. Taking the most of the money and giving it to churches who reach out to the lost, drug addicts, homeless people etc.... thought this would be a GREAT way to get the money for the outreach programs in our area.

Seems as though Satan has a different plan.

I will not stop writing about the Son, God and the Holy Spirit, whether I make money or not. If just one person reads my blogs and it helps them, either spiritually, or finding their way to God, then I have done exactly what God wanted in the first place.

So as for Satan Who is fighting me, on my work for God, The battle will never be over, Because God will win every time.

Take the time to pray to God, he will give you the strength you need, to stand upright for his way.

John 3 :16 for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, and whoever believes shall not perish but have everlasting life. AMEN!!

Another paragraph just disappeared, WoW!

I will win this morning, I will make it to church, and rejoice in the LORD, and I will be HAPPY doing it, and I will WIN the battle.

4 Levels of Spiritual Warfare Against Demonic Spirits

This article is a great read, for anyone who wants to learn more about Spiritual Warfare. Satan and his dark angels have a lot more control over us than we think. He can really have tons of control over those who have not turned themselves over to Christ.

Satan can and does put thoughts into our minds, and confuses us that it is indeed God. Turning yourself over to God and repenting your sins, is the only defense we have. God gives us the tools to do that.

Spiritual Warfare is real, and it happens to us everyday. We need the tools to fight him and his dark angels.

We need to learn what the devil can really do to us so that we can fight him and know the difference.

The Day Is Fast Approaching
by Gertrude Jefferies

There's a rumbling in the distance,
But growing closer every day,
And from all the signs around me,
I'd say the Lord is on his way!

For he tells us in the Scripture,
That like a thief at night he'll come
Catching many people off guard
And the countdown has begun.

All the efforts of the media
Seem to be of one accord:
You can have your cake and eat it,
Your own pleasure is your reward.

No one seems to care that one day,
Mankind will stand before the Lord,
Giving an account of their lives,
And their reaction to his Word.

For each day the rumbling's nearer,
Than it was the day before,
Please, won't someone heed this warning
His return is at the door!

While this period of his grace,
Means the door is open wide,
Won't you do yourself a favor,
Take his hand, and step inside.

Spiritual Warfare: Is Satan Fighting For Your Soul

　

Spiritual Warfare is a reality in Christian lives, and it goes on more than you think. Sometimes it may be small things and sometimes it maybe big. God teaches us how to deal with it. My testimony of spiritual warfare.

Is Satan fighting for your Soul

Spiritual warfare goes on a lot more than people think. Some may know what it is, and some may not. One thing is for sure it does happen. I can give examples of myself. The first time I think it happened to me was right after I turned myself over to God and accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, I knew and accepted that God Sent his son to die for our sins. (John 3:16) This verse is the reason why we are able to go to heaven and be forgiven for our sins. God is a Great and Poweful God. The day of my baptism, a sudden rage flew through me like I have never felt before, nothing seemed to be right from the clothes I wanted to wear to really nothing at it seems now, but I had never felt so out of control with my emotions. I carried on because, I was going to get Baptised in the name of my Father. After the Baptism, I felt like I was free. I had no idea that was only the begining of the fight Satan had for my soul. The more I studied the Bible the more I understood. Needless to say, I backslid from God just as Satan had wanted, He seemed to have just backed off away from me. That was because he had me where he wanted me. I rededicated my life back to God. I have fought the aweful fight with the Devil, only this time I have made myself stronger against him. God has given me the strength,and all I did was ask. I still battle this only it's not as strong as was before and I know when he is sneeking inside to give me doubt in God's word, I pray to god to give me strength and to remove him from my prenses

Another example, my son who was 17 years turned his life over to the lord. What a wonderful day in my life. He was doing so good, he had truly devoted his life and every minute of the day to being re-born to Christ. When one morning you would have thought Hell was living in my house. The war was on... unsure to what was going on with him, swearing curse words, yelling at everyone, ripped his shirt that he wanted to wear to church. I was shocked at his behavior. Then I thought oh-no, I walked into his room and asked to only listen to what I was about to tell him. I didn't want a response just to hear me. I wasn't sure what he was battling, but I told him of my experiense, and was to tell him that I didn't know if that was what he was feeling, but if was he should go to church in whatever he had on and fight the fight. We left for church and sure enough he was late but walked in, when services were over and we were back at home. He began crying, he didn't know why he had acted that way, that he couldn't control it. He said, that he felt much better and that he would be able to better handle it next time. He read the bible all night and found scriptures in the bible about it.He still fights the battle and is stiving to conquer it, only now he knows just a talk with God will get him back on the road to the Lord.

To be a christian is a hard battle against the Devil, but with the power of God all things are possible. God even tells us about the war we will fight against the powers of darkness.

In Ephesians 6:12

"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."

We must stand our ground against the darkness as God tells us in Ephesians 6:14-18

"Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit..."

Spiritual Warefare is a real reality in the christian life. The Devil has already lost so what does he have to lose now by fighting for your soul? NOTHING.

He will fight harder for you, he wants you break your trust in the Lord, doubt his powers, and everything God can do for you. Satan will promise you everything, wordly goods,and lots of others things, but what he can't give you is salvation, forgiveness, and a place in Heaven.

He will try to take over your thoughts, make you think they are yours or even God's, he is a sneeky character. He knows your weakness and he will use them against you. If you are a worrier of money he will make it real hard for you finacially, however stand close to God he will make sure everything will be fine. God will give you the strentgh you need all you have to do is ask him to help you though it and to rebuke Satan's thoughts from you. Satan will every defense he has on you, but you stand strong for God and put on your breast plate of righteousness and your helmet of salvation. God will show you the way. Peace outweighs anything that the Devil can throw at you.

Now, I am not saying that it is going to be easy fighting Satan, for God wants us to fight for him, our faith and trust we have, the more we stand up to the Devil the easierbattles will less and easier to fight.

There are many verses in the Bible about Satan fighting for you, and many scriptures that help you to fight him. If you are having trouble fighting the darkness pray and if you need more guidness go your pastor for help and he will help you get through it. God loves his children and knows that we are of flesh and that we makes mistakes.That is why he sent his son to die for us, so that we may be forgiven for our sins. God truly loves us and wants us to be with him in heaven.

The Devil is a strong spirit, so don't doubt what he can do. Our God is most powerful, after all he made the heavens and the earth and you. He has power over all even the Devil.
