Spiritual warfare 101, Pt. 3

"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation". Matthew 12:43-45.

It is customary for the average person to read the pages of the Holy Bible and not take note of who is speaking, who are they speaking to, what is being said and how what is being said ought to be applied to our daily lives.

The above scripture is providing some very important, but much overlooked knowledge as it relates to the invisible forces that challenges us daily otherwise known as demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits etc. Unclean spirits, or demons are spirits WITHOUT a physical human body . As a result of this, this makes them illegal in the earth. Thus they seek the use of a physical body to legally participate  in earthly matters. This is why Satan, had to use the body of a snake/Serpent to achieve his objective with Eve. The reality is most folks will tell you that the most powerful part of their being is their spirit, however, to the contrary the most powerful part of your being is your "BODY" as long as you're in the earth. Again, this explains why demons/evil spirits are always seeking and fighting for a body to possess. As a quick example, do you recall in scripture when Jesus was delivering a certain man from tormenting evil spirit which had already possess the man? Well, prior to Jesus casting these evil spirits out of the human body they literally beg Jesus to send them into the bodies of the pigs that were near by, amazingly Jesus granted their request, Matthew 8:31. In an effort to prove to you just how powerful your body is and just how much it makes you legal in the earth, that the moment you die your spirit is EVICTED from your body and by extension evicted from the earth. This explains why scripture clearly says that the dead has no more portion in the earth, Ecclesiastes 9:5-10.

With those brief facts said, the above initial scripture clearly says to us, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man". So, this is empirical evidence that evil spirits has the ability to traffic in and out of a person's life. However, they can not do it at will but there must be a legal spiritual reason or cause for it according to Proverbs 26:2. Secondly, we're told that this evil spirit walks into dry places. In order for anything to walk, it would suggest it has legs, so evil spirits have legs. Thirdly, scripture goes on to say that once it's evicted from its human host it goes about seeking rest, therefore it is restless until or unless it inhabits a body in particular a human body. We are further advised that in its quest to obtain rest but is unable to achieve rest. This evil spirit says to itself let him return unto his house, which means his former human host. Now, this the statement of this spirit is very interesting because it's now being revealed that spirits can reason, calculate assess situations and maters, thus, further suggesting that they have a degree of intelligence.

The scripture further informs the reader that when this evil spirit returns to his former host, he discovers that he has no legal grounds to re-enter his human host. However, he does not give up like most of us as Believers of Jesus Christ would do. Instead, he resorts to the spiritual law of unity found in Genesis 11:6 and Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. Amazingly, this evil spirit has concluded that not only would he require team work to achieve his mission, but whomever he chooses they must be of greater power! Well, the scripture concludes by saying that these cleaver and persistent spirits not only achieve their objective by fully possessing this person and that the last state of that man is worse than the first.

The bottom line is this evil spirits are spirits without a body, while we as human beings are spirits with bodies. We are more powerful than they are in the earth because such power has been assigned to us via God the father according to Genesis 1:28 and Psalm 8:4-6. Both scriptures speaks about our dominion over the earth, but Psalms makes it unequivocally clear, when it said, "God has given us dominion over the works of his hands (these works include evil spirits) You have put all things under his feet", again, inclusive of demons being in their rightful position and that is under our feet.

Therefore, If an evil spirits is dominating you in any area of your life, then it is clear based on the above information that you lack such spiritual knowledge. Again, scripture did not say we are being destroyed or failing in life because we are fornicating, lying, stealing, etc. Instead, scripture clearly states that our lack of knowledge will produce the end result of failure and destruction according to Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:18.

Spiritual warfare 101 Pt. 4

Advance spiritual warfare dictates that in order for any spirit to operate in the earth, that spirit must be granted human permission. God gave man and not spirits dominion over the earth, Genesis 1:26 and Psalm 8:4-6.

Therefore, whatever spirit is coming up against you, your first question should be, who gave this spirit legal right to challenge you, or what spiritual laws are you in breech of or ignoring?

All spirits including the spirit of God can only intervene in human affairs if we as human being give that permission. Due to the rules and laws that govern the spirit realm, access to this world in terms of participating in earthly matters. All through out scripture there is a common protocol just prior to God showing up for his people and that would usually be via a fast or a sacrifice. Such acts would be spiritual protocol to summons the help of spirits including that of our creator to intervene into our earthly affairs.

This same spiritual protocol is used when evil spirits are summoned in the earth to advance the evil cause of man. For example, when Balaam who was a prophet, was invited by Balak the king of the Mobities to curse the nation of Israel, the first think he asked the Mobities to do was to set up altars. Altars are where sacrifice are done to provide the legal protocol to allow the assistance of spirits to legally operate in the earth. Once a blood sacrifice is performed on an altar it invokes spirits. Now, depending on the specific altar protocol and what's being sacrificed will determine spirits of God or Satan will show up.

When God wanted to establish a covenant with Abraham concerning his future generations who would be the Hebrew people or otherwise know as the children of Israel God had Abraham setup am altar requesting the following items; a heifer of three years old, a she goat of three years old and a ram of three years old along with a turtle dove and a young pigeon.

Abraham was then asked by God to perform a specific sacrifice and that was to cut in half the heifer, goat and ram then lay them side by side next to each other, but the birds were not to be divided or cut in half as the other animals on the altar. Now, as crazy as this may seem this was God showing Abraham how to summon his assistance  in the earth. Again, the reason for this is because of my opening statement and that is God solely gave man and not even himself who scripture clearly describe as a spirit according to John 4:24 dominion of and in the earth.

Therefore if the spirit of witchcraft is dominating you as a human being you must summon via prayer and fasting the assistance of God. This is why scripture says this kind will only be challenged via prayer and fasting, Matthew 17:21.

Human beings and not spirits were given dominion over the affairs of earth.

Spiritual warfare 101 Pt. 5

The success of any war will be solely predicated on the intelligence gathered concerning  the
Opponents of that war for future use in battle.

For example, before Israel conquering Jericho, spies were sent into Jericho to gather information or intelligence. The purpose of this, as mentioned earlier, was to garner information concerning Jericho for future use against them,  Joshua 2:1. Such was when Moses sent the 12 spies to search out the Promise land, Numbers 13:17.

In the spirit realm, or should we say during spiritual warfare, one of the tools for peering into the spirit realm would be our dreams! Our dreams are our spiritual monitors into the spirit realm. It is this realm that we observe spiritually through our dreams pending events that, if not challenged, will manifest into our natural realm. So even though our physical bodies may be sleeping, our spirit is very much awake, interacting in the unseen world otherwise known as the spirit world. Just to be clear, all things are conceived spiritually and manifested physically via agreements or covenants!

Let's Observe an example of this: "And being warned of God in a "DREAM" that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.  And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a "DREAM," saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him" Matthew 2:12-13.

In the above scripture text, while the physical bodies of the wise men and Joseph lay asleep, their spirits engaged in the spirit world were warned in a dream concerning specific instructions that would cause them to change their course of action in the natural. God warned the wise men in their dream while an angel warned Joseph in his dream. This, my friend, is known as spiritual intelligence, revealing things that you'd never know under normal circumstances!

Therefore, those who dismiss this spiritual warfare tool will automatically fulfill a Biblical prophecy that says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6.

Spiritual warfare 101 Pt. 6

Spiritual ignorance has placed many of us in positions that we would prefer not to be in. It has been my experience that folks would much rather hold on to a tradition that has consistently not worked for them than to follow the principles laid out in scripture by God that will ultimately change their unfavorable circumstances.

Spiritual warfare is just that "SPIRITUAL WARFARE," which ultimately suggests that you're in a war, and just like any war, one must be attired for that war. Unfortunately, Spiritual warfare is an invisible war, which means we do not have the advantage of seeing our opponents. Therefore, we must engage according to the scriptures if we're to make any significant difference. Unfortunately, most Christians wage spiritual warfare with their emotions, feelings, or whatever relates to their five senses. Even though the scriptures clearly said that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal or material, they are mighty through God.

We are commanded by scripture that before engaging in spiritual warfare, we must "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" Ephesians 6:11. To amplify the importance of this, the apostle Paul repeats this same command in Ephesians 6:13, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

Isn't it interesting that the apostle Paul makes these statements to Believers of Jesus Christ and not sinners? In fact, he was addressing the church of Ephesus. I am pointing this out simply because it dispels the erroneous mindset that being a Christian or believer of Jesus Christ automatically protects us from evil or makes the devil leaves us alone.

In fact, during this invisible war that we refer to as spiritual warfare, the absence of our spiritual armor will give the Enemy the upper hand over us and eventually destroy us. Therefore spiritual warfare dictates that we must put on the entire armor of God if it is our desire to successfully stand against the wiles of the devil. I am sure your next question is, how do we get this armor on? We pray the armor of God on us before going to sleep at night and upon waking in the morning. Could it be that you were defeated and bombarded by the devil today or even yesterday simply because you were in warfare without your spiritual armor?

In fact, because you did not see any physical projectiles coming at you, you thought you were in the clear. While totally ignoring that our fight as soldiers of Jesus Christ is spiritual and not physical. In this war, my friend, we must look past those material things and focus on the spirits operating behind the physical because this is where the actual battle is located.

Scripture clearly, reminds us of the following, "No man that warreth entangle himself with the affairs of this life (He's not focused on what is physical) that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier" 2 Timothy 2:4. Scripture further reminds us as it relates to this invisible war of the following, "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" 2 Corinthians 4:18.

Please, cover yourself and your loved ones with the only outfit capable of protecting you from the invisible opponents that are relentless in destroying you.

The mystery of wealth behind pitying the poor

Are you someone that have great compassion for those that are in a worse position than you are? Do you feel defeated when you see others in need and you're not in a position to do anything for them? Are you the type of person that will surrender your last just so that others will have?

Well, if you have met the above mentioned qualifications, Then I am released to tell you that there are folks that are unknowingly gathering wealth just for you. Yes, that's right, the only thing that you are required to do is to continue seeking and meeting the needs of others that are less fortunate, in other words continue to pity the poor. 

The lord said to remind him of his word that dictates the transfer of wealth and favor and it has absolutely zero to do with you sowing some special seed, Passover seed, $1000 seed, $58 seed, prayer cloth, no evil oils or whatever else you've been asked to give for wealth transfer.

The biblical principle of wealth transfer says the following: " He that by usury (charging unfair interest) and unjust gain increaseth his substance,  but he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor" Proverbs 28:8.

Did you read the above scripture carefully? This is why I insist that we study the word for ourselves. The scripture clearly says, that the recipient of wealth transfer will be the one that will pity the poor, that is what you read, right? Now that we have expose this spiritual law; when was the last time if ever you hear a preacher said "Look among your pew and search among your community to find the poor in an effort to activate the law of wealth transfer by investing your financial seed in the lives of the poor"? I am sure you haven't and I am almost certain you won't because unfortunately some of them are more interested in manipulation as opposed to encouraging you to participate in the spiritual laws that would activate wealth in your life.

So, could it be that even though you have been giving these large sums of money to these religious institutions and preachers but because you neglected, ignored and totally dismissed the poor whom God has strategically placed within your path specifically for the purpose of causing wealth to be transferred to you, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO YOU OTHER THAN MORE DEBT FOR YOU AND MONEY FROM YOUR POCKETS TO THEIRS?

Now maybe I may have it all wrong but did you read anywhere in the above scripture that in order for wealth transfer to take place you must sow a $58 seed, $1000 seed, a Passover seed or send for some miracle oil or cloth as a point of contact? No! Instead, we are required via the principle presented in proverbs 28:8 to seek and address as best we can the needs of those that are less fortunate in order to activate and transfer the gain and wealth of the unjust unto us. Do you have the slightest idea the amount of poor folks sitting in the very bench or row that you're seated in, in church that do not know where the next meal is coming from or they haven't eaten in days, while you export and hand out hundreds and probably even thousands of dollars to some of these manipulative wealthy religious folks? Again! Wealth transfer will be as a result of giving to the poor, not the rich, your special preacher or some master manipulators!

Let's take it a step further. Scripture again, clearly says, "That the wealth of the wicked is laid up or in storage for the just" Proverbs 13:22. Now that we know that the wealth of the sinner/wicked is being stored for the just, the question is, HOW DO WE ACCESS THIS MUCH NEEDED WEALTH?

Well, the key to this elusive question is simply pitying the poor as stated in Proverbs 28:8. The word pity is defined as sympathetic or kindly sorrow evoked by the suffering, distress, or misfortune of another, often leading one to give relief or aid or to show mercy........Mighty God!

Have you ever wondered why Jesus made the following statement in Matthew 26:11, "The poor you will have with you always?" Well let's see, if Proverbs 28:8 reveals that it will be those that pity the poor that will receive the wealth, shouldn't we then conclude that there is divine purpose involved when the bum on the street decides to beg you for money? Do you not see it as strange that every time you decide to pray to God to meet a specific need in your life someone out of nowhere seek your assistance to meet their need.

Can't you see that the lord is attempting to meet your need by placing the poor in your path all in an effort that you would activate the law of wealth transfer by you pitying the poor which will activate the principle of wealth transfer to you. Well, more than likely you won't see it that way because you're not being taught that way. Instead these manipulators have and will continue to mislead you from the spiritual laws to their way of having you transfer wealth from your pockets to theirs, while you hold on to the elusive hope that one day the non-sense they've told you would manifest.

My words of wisdom and revelation unto you is simply this, it is always divine purpose and appointment when someone in a less position is placed in your path, what you decide to do with that divine opportunity will determine what will be transferred to you in the future, If you give to them you will increase if you hold on to what you should be giving to them, then poverty indeed will be your portion in life, Proverbs 11:24.

Is This a Spirit or a Mindset that I'm Fighting

One of the most deceptive strategies of the Enemy is to permanently isolate us regarding our various problems and make us feel as if we're the only ones experiencing such challenges.

This way of thinking encourages the victim to feel hopeless and that all possibilities to overcome their circumstances are exhausted. However, the reality is that whatever you're challenged with, millions and probably billions of folks worldwide are experiencing the same events.

According to scripture, "The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad, ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who make promises to God are treated like people who don't" Eccl. 9:2

The subliminal message of the above scripture is; that all things come similar to all humanity; it is not uncommon for us to face challenges throughout our life journey. However, the true purpose of our common destiny is not wondering why we're challenged but, more importantly, how we perform or react towards those challenges!

While our challenges may be typical, our personal backgrounds as to what was instilled in us can be oceans apart. Thus, our foundations individually will expose different behaviors, replies, responses, etc. In fact, Proverbs 22:6 would be the spiritual law that's truly governing our various behaviors as it relates to our handling of situations, and here is what it says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." The word train means to teach, instruct, or to cause to practice a specific format.

Therefore, we have discovered that back and forth with our Spouses, challenges with our bosses or co-workers, confusion with Family members, etc., are all common issues. Still, the reality is we are not fighting or contending with people; instead, we're unknowingly fighting and bucking heads with a cemented learned behavior from ourselves and those that we're opposing. I must add that this learned behavior could be obtained physically or spiritually.

I will give a quick example. I met a lady once that cheated on her husband regularly and felt no weight about it. While she was never sat down and taught how to cheat on her Spouse, she saw and heard rumors about her father having multiple affairs with her mother for years in her younger years. Now, even though she knows right from wrong and she's clearly aware that cheating on her husband is wrong, the reality is her morals are being challenged by the law in Proverbs 22:6. Now, because Proverbs 22:6 is indeed a law, it can be used for one's advantage or disadvantage. Unfortunately, it will be to her detriment because of what was instilled in her as a child; now that she is older, it is difficult for her to depart from it, even though she is quite aware that what she's doing is wrong.

This, my friend, is revelation knowledge; this, my friend, is spiritual understanding. This, my friend, is the deep-rooted background behind the surface of what you're being challenged with. With that said, your prayer should be towards that evil seed planted years ago in that person or yourself. Your attempts to go back and forward with that person will prove fruitless. In the young lady's case, she had to begin the process of prayer and fasting against the evil seeds of infidelity and adultery, asking God to destroy them by fire so that she could have a typical marriage and, by extension, a good life.

Is your place of worship revealing such revelation and knowledge to you so that the process of deliverance can be your portion according to Proverbs 11:9?

The process of promotion

Some folks and things will have to be moved out of the way so that you can begin to make progress in
certain areas of your life!

Do not be surprised when you hear or read of the demise, demotion or removal of individuals from key places or positions in life. The reality is, the removal of such persons will automatically unclog the pipeline of progress for others. This does not necessarily mean that these folks did something wrong to be removed. Instead, this is what is known as the process of progress.

Scripture tells us that Moses in his anger towards the Egyptian soldiers in their mishandling of the Hebrew people, caused him to literally struct and kill one of the Egyptian soldiers and eventually fled Egypt. Scripture further records that after approximately 40 years of being on the run or living in exile, the Lord said unto Moses, "Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are "DEAD" which sought thy life." Exodus 4:19.

After spending such a long time in the wilderness, unknowing to Moses during those 40 years of being on the run, his circumstances were preparing him for the next stage of his life. Interestingly enough, Exodus 4:1-17, a dialog between Moses and God ensued, where God was revealing to Moses what would take place during the next stage of his life. Nevertheless, in spite of all the grand plans, God had for Moses some folks had to be removed that would have usually blocked Moses' progress or should we say delay his destiny.

Okay! So someone died, someone was demoted, someone was fired, someone just up and quit, someone just without notice ended the relationship, well rather than looking at these everyday occurrences from a negative and depressing perspective, your initial thought should be.... Who is about to be advanced? Who is about to be promoted? What change is about to take place? Or Who is about to actually begin living their life after the exit of certain folks?. Better yet! What can you do now that you could not do before because of those blockages that were initially in your way?

I want to say to someone today, that advancement and a new beginning for you will come through some of the most unlikely set of circumstances but fear not because these are the things that God had originally intended to unclog the system of progress just to elevate you!

However, there are three fundamental things that you must make a note of during this transition, and they are:

1) Do not forget where you came from

2) Treat folks the way you would wish to be treated

3) Be fair and just with all that you are given rule over while viewing the past as experience and not a motive to get back at others that were not on your side.

For the day will come when the cycle of removal and promotion will run its course in your life so that others will have the opportunity to be advanced.
