Warriors: Watch as well as Pray!
Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the LORD has spoken: “I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand,” Isaiah 1:2-3.
This morning as I prayed before the Lord, I could hear the Holy Spirit saying the word “Guns!” These guns are weapons that can do deadly force, both physically and spiritually.
God is warning His people, the nation and those in the world, to watch out for the enemy because he is angry.
Many times, folk are festering malice and hatred in their hearts and unless you have the gift of discerning of spirits, you will not be able to detect that it is the enemy at work behind the scenes.
It is time for the people of God to put their spiritual ears on and to listen very carefully to what the Spirit is trying to convey unto you. For, I hear the Lord saying, Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, (not drunk; unaware of what is going on around you) be on the alert.
Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking (if you open your vessel up to him he is coming to take advantage of you) someone to devour. But RESIST HIM, FIRM IN YOUR FAITH, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. (Come on somebody; it is just not the church going through suffering but it is the world; as well. The only difference is you are supposed to have a God who will see you through the storm!)
Many times the Lord sends his prophets to give the people of God fare warning to take cover and many of us will go about as we are bullet proof and we don’t need to watch; as well as pray. But, God is warning the people of God to take cover.
Jesus asked the disciples to sit, watch and pray with him for just one hour and they could not do it. What about you?
Some folk can’t push the plate back for ten minutes. Every time you see them, food is in their mouths and then they want you to fast with them and they are eating all day while you travailing and mourning in the spirit trying to get them deliverance; instead of them assisting in the warfare they at home watching television or a sleep like the disciples.
Then saith Jesus unto them, all ye shall be OFFENDED because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Peter answered and said unto him, though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. (People of God get in place the enemy is coming like a roaring lion) Peter said unto him, though I should die with thee, yet will I NOT deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: TARRY YE HERE, AND WATCH WITH ME. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: NEVERTHELESS NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS THOU WILT, (Matthew 26:31-39).
The enemy doesn’t care who he wounds in the midst of battle. It is your responsibility as the people of God to prepare yourself daily for the battle; and not just when you are in it! (Psalms 22:13).
He does not care who he kills in the midst of warfare. He is there to bring confusion. He is there to keep strife and division among God’s people. It is not sister so and so that is doing it, but this is a spirit that we are fighting. He is there to bring temptation and to remove you out of your God-given-destiny in God.
You see, God is a God of peace and he is NEVER THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION.
God is never the cause of you being so filled with anger that you start cussing, fighting and running home to get your shot gun out to kill somebody! The devil is a whole lie! It is the enemy. The flesh is always warring against the spirit. In fact, the scriptures say, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, (we as the people of God must put on the whole armor of God that we might be able to stand against the wiles of the devil; strap up and gird up your lions for THIS FIGHT IS REAL! And the enemy is coming with both barrel of his guns cocked, loaded and ready to kill, (John 10:10).
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are NOT of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations (guessing games, imaginations, delusions) and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
You see, Unlike the world we are NO LONGER fighting with physical guns but the guns we utilize are not carnal, But mighty through God in pulling down the strong holds, (John 10: 10), working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Let NO corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve NOT the Holy Spirit of God, (be careful of the words and dirt that comes out of your mouth, because you will be judged for every word you speak) whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption, (Ephesians 4:26-32).
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, WITH ALL MALICE: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
The Lord is speaking mightily on this morning and He is warning the people of God to get in place, because the enemy is coming.
Those who are seeking the Lord daily will be victorious!
I hear the Holy Spirit saying, “But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. (Psalms 3: 3-4)
No (AND I DID SAY: NO!) weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord,” (Isaiah 54:17).
THIS BATTLE IS REAL!
