34: War!!

In this episode we look at spiritual war that is being dribbled through our news.  We are in a spiritual battle that's only going to ramp up from here on out and we need to be prepared.

We live in unprecedented times, a time where spiritual attacks are constant but spiritual warfare is far  away from our train of thought.  People see news headlines and say well I guess it’s just going to get worse and dive into their fantasy land of never ending tv shows, podcasts, books, and padded room style life and let the devil push his agenda without ever attempting to wage war against him and his evil plans.  We’ve allowed demonic agendas to take root such as gender dysphoria, sodomism, marxism, social injustice, and any other sort of evil that we look the other way on as a society.  We are more worried about physical wars in other countries then we are the SPIRITUAL WAR going on right inside of our own borders.  Matthew 24:6 spoke of the physical wars straight from Jesus mouth and told us not to be troubled by them because they must come but they aren’t the end of the world; the exact scripture reads as this from the NKJV version:

 

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.  See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Matthew 24:6

 

Jesus goes on further to say that nation will rise against nation, the will be famines, earthquake, and plagues followed by by being delivered into oppression.  He let’s us know there will be spiritual torment in these days and they will be called the great days of sorrow and we are entering into these days as tempers flare on the world stage.  Not only that but now there’s a growing consensus around the globe against white Christians calling them terrorist and trying to find ways to arrest them, try them, and execute them on top of billionaires buying up land and trying to control food supplies and fuel supplies.  Christians in many nations are being murdered in mass for standing up for their faith, there have been reports from Nigeria, Turkey, and many more; this is spiritual warfare and we have to become prepared.  Now many will fall away from the faith due to the persecution of these times so they can survive by the skin of their teeth, they’re more worried about the physical body then the spiritual body.  We are told repeatedly by Paul to focus on the spiritual body because it doesn’t matter what is done to our physical bodies if we haven’t armored up and stood on the foundation that Jesus Christ has given us.  Remember what Paul wrote to Timothy pertaining to focusing on earthly things:

 

No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

2 Timothy 2:4

 

We know Christ has enlisted us in this war and we are to pay attention to what he tells us through the Holy Spirit on how to fight the war.  He will protect you as Psalm 20:1 states we just have to pay attention to His guidance at all times, we must be fervent in prayer and never cease in doing so, we must seek out the truth in the spirit, we must recognize the enemies strategy of anxiety, fear, and worry mixed with temptation, deception, and lies.  So stand firm on the foundation Christ has given us and strap your armor on tight so that we can be prepared in battle for this ongoing spiritual war.
