Standing Strong in a Tug of War
The Holy Spirit is showing me an analogy of people in a tug of war.
For those of you who are not familiar with this, it is a sport where two teams are against each other in a test of strength.
The teams pull on opposite ends of a rope, with the goal being to bring the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team’s pull.
This is what The LORD is showing me. T here is an intense battle happening in the spirit realm right now. It is similar to a tug of war but it is global battle and every life is being affected in this tug of war.
The problem is that some people don’t realize that it’s a spiritual battle and not a battle against flesh and blood.
The enemy is trying to do all that he could to stop the body of Christ from advancing. Everything that is happening in this season is not a coincidence but it is the prelude to a powerful move of God upon this earth. The enemy is pulling out all the stops.
The other day I was driving down a street which had a public school so the speed limit was 15 mph in that particular zone. It was a quiet neighborhood and a beautiful tree lined street.
As I approached a corner for some reason I slowed down to a stop even though I didn’t have a stop sign. A truck came through the cross street about 50 mph and didn’t stop. If I kept going even at the speed of 15 mph that truck would have hit me broadside and I could have been killed.
This may be difficult for some of you to believe but it seemed as if an angel just moved my car slightly to the right.
I had worship music on and I had such peace rather than panic. The truck was black with dark windows and I never saw who was driving.
All I heard was something which sounded like a bunch of boxes falling in the back of the truck as they tried to stop but then they kept going.
We need to remember that we are not fighting against people but against spirits of darkness. When we stay in the presence of The LORD and walk in the Spirit, Jesus will always protect us.
Angels are real and if our eyes were opened to the supernatural realm we would see them. I’ve felt the presence of angels many times.
It’s time for the believers to understand supernatural things. A lukewarm Church with unbelief will never survive in this season.
The Body of Christ must walk in unity rather than division The Holy Spirit is trying to speak to us and get out attention. We need to discern His voice and follow His leading.
The other day I watched a live stream meeting with an evangelist ministering to hundreds of children. Some were laughing, some were crying, some were praying in English and others were praying in tongues.
This is what we are about to experience. It’s time for The Body of Christ to unite so that we could move on and experience a global move of God.
“No kingdom can endure if it is divided against itself, and a fragmented household will not be able to stand, for it is divided. And if Satan fights against himself he will not endure, and his end has come.” Mark 3:24-26 TPT.
“Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 TPT.
“Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour. Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.” 1 Peter 5:8-9 TPT.
Blessings in Christ Jesus,

I STAND with SISTER Elaine…I can’t recalled MANY times I came to near death encountered. The enemy tried HIS hand against me through so many DIFFERENT levels. GOD, yes THE LORD intervened. And, I also AGREE…2day’s CHURCHES SOME with no GLORY of GOD shall not STAND NO WAY during THESE trial pre-tribulation seasons. The AntiChrist is hiding for NOW. 666 is ALREADY ALWAYS circular AROUND globally. in a matter of TIME…the vanishings will take placed according to “LEFT BEHIND SERIES” & MOVIES. This trilogy brought to LIFE FROM the BOOK of Revelation. WAKE UP sleepy LUKEWARM, double minded folks in Christ. Re-DIRECT, resurrect ur relationship with GOD TIME is limited as well precious. Get it 2gether…get RIGHT or get LEFT 2b a tribulation Christian when LEFT BEHIND it will be a Stephen King horror story in a “REAL”-ality. THIS is SERIOUS…THESE events WILL happened
A powerful word Elaine; thank you for sharing it. God’s ways and thoughts are much higher than our own; as we lean on Him and trust Him; His peace will never leave us. Peace remains in us and cannot be moved by the assaults around us. Praise the Lord!
Amen! Unity in Christ, The Body, and The Father. John 17:23.
The Unity of The Spirit is First. Ephesians 4:3. Then, we must have The Offices Christ Gave us to Teach us, Ephesians 4:11-12,
Until we arrive INTO The Unity of The Faith, INTO The Full Knowledge(G1922 epignosis) of The Son of God INTO a Perfect, Mature, Complete Man, INTO the Measure of The Stature of The Fulness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:13
Ephesians 4:14-15: 14 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; 15but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, 16from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
Churches getting along? Spouses arent even getting along!
We are already united if we on individual level and independent on anyone else only hear and obey the Father, because He is the head and we are His body. There is a counterfeir spiritual unity as well which is founded on soulish relationships and conformity because of opinions rather than conformity founded on the individual independent obedience the Father requires.
“when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares (first now the differences were obvious) also Matth.13:.26
“Let both grow together (in the Body of Christ) until the harvest(the final separation between the sheep and the goats) and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares (goats), and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat (sheep) into my barn Matth.13:30
When we read this we think it is a visible happening but it is an ongoing invisible separation and only those who are the true sheep knows what is going on because the goats never knew the Father.
