For the lines have been drawn and everything has changed. For the mighty have had their chance so we will see many things take shape. I am taking from the wicked and giving to My people of great honor. For many will fall at this time and we will see it all changed.

#44 A Call to Pastors

Pastors, the Lord has been speaking urgently to me for a couple of days with a message for all of you.  Please read and consider carefully.  For all believers are being called “for such a time as this.” Esther 4:14

In most of my recent posts on my blog inthespiritofthemind.com about the dynamics of spiritual warfare, I have issued an urgent call to the church to rise up together in unity to fight the spiritual battle going on in the heavenlies around us right now.  Well, Pastors, the Lord has been instructing me to speak plainly and directly to you all to heed His word and join the battle.

This word is about the need for the believers to be speaking to the enemy, the principalities and powers, rulers, the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies, the darkness we see advancing around the world and across our nation in growing power and evil.  Ephesians 6: 12, Ephesians 3:10   You are all aware of the scriptures referring to the devil and the demons active in the earth, but it seems most of you are not prepared to join the fight because of your lack of knowledge concerning this most important part of the believer’s marching orders from God.   We must understand that God is spirit just as the enemy is.  The words spoken from the holy realm and the evil realm influence our minds and have an effect.  The fight is a spiritual one.  It is about light which is God and we as believers.  We fight the demons in the spiritual realm.  

God is Spirit.  John 4:24    God’s words created the heavens and the earth.  Genesis 1:1, 3, 6, 11    Jesus said His words were spirit and life.  John 6:63   Jesus did not speak on His own initiative, but speaks the things His Father taught Him. John 8:28, John 12:49, John 14:10   Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Those that love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21    Our words are very important.  

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.   1 John 3:8b   We are to be doing the same works that Jesus did.  John 14:12   Those are the works of the Father.  John 14:10b   This warfare is ours.  2 Corinthians 10:4   The war is not in the flesh.  2 Corinthians 10:3-4, Ephesians 6:12

Pastors, the enemy, or thief, comes to steal, kill, and destroy.  John 10:10   You have heard this before, but have you ever thought about it?  Do you know this is true and real?  Do you understand that this means the believers?  Do you know we are to be doing battle?   I understand this has never been a reality to most of you. Therefore, it has never been a reality to the church because neither you nor the people in your church have been taught the truth.  Well, you need to hear the truth now!  All we have is NOW!  We must wake up to the need to do as God has instructed us to do. It’s not about showing up on Sunday, studying a lesson to be prepared for Sunday School, or coming to meetings and activities.  Spiritual warfare is when spirits fight.  It is not studying or praying.  We are spirit when we are born again.  We are one spirit with God.  We are the spiritual beings fighting the enemy with the Holy Spirit.  Spiritual dynamics are happening every split second all the time. And we need to be involved.

Since the virus and quarantine, most of the church meetings have been cancelled thus causing us to lose the attachment to our groups.  Then there have been so many other horrible and destructive activities which heighten the awareness of darkness running rampant in the country today.  I have seen much on social media talking about the need to do spiritual warfare, that we are in a spiritual battle.  The Lord has made it clear that many simply have no training to fight a battle in the spirit.  Why?  Because the devil, demons, the enemy is never mentioned in church.  Sometimes, neither is the Holy Spirit!  Pastors, the education of the church, the one church, all believers being the church, one in spirit with God, must happen.  You are the ones who must do this.  Don’t just talk about the devil and evil to identify what is happening. Learn the tactics of the enemy. Learn what it means to renew the mind.  Understand what the battleground is.  Otherwise we may lose to the darkness.  

Without the attention to the Holy Spirit which we have been given as a helper and without the power and manifestation of the Holy Spirit, we can do nothing. John 14:16, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 12:7-10   But the Holy Spirit was given and waits to talk with us and talk through us.  He needs us to discern where the devil has introduced unholy thoughts and separate our holy thoughts to shine the light of God on the darkness.   2 Corinthians 10:4-6   We must then speak to the darkness, binding it up and casting it out of our souls (mind, emotions and will).  Matthew 18:18   The weapons are divinely powerful to the puling down of strongholds and every lofty thing elevating itself (demons) against the knowledge of God (truth).  

The devil has blinded the eyes of the believers and deceived us all.  Some of us have been blessed with Pastors who know the truth and have taught us to renew our minds to the truth and the darkness. We have been actively casting demons and their lies out of our souls so that we may hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and do warfare for our country and the world.

The unrenewed mind is on defense.  A renewed mind is on offense.  Demons cannot attack us because we are light in the Lord.  Spiritual warfare is light against darkness. There is no defense in light. Darkness cannot attack light.  Demons influence and deceive us with lies.  We must be renewed in the spirit of the mind.   Ephesians 4:23   These lies originate in the spiritual realm and once believed become strongholds in the minds of our souls hindering us from fighting against the demonic realm. They hide their existence and squelch the knowledge of what they are doing. They have effectively hidden our understanding or desire to know the Holy Spirit and be a vessel for living water to flow.  We don’t even know we have demons and darkness in our souls!! They have separated the church into divisions called denominations where believers are taught what we believe that is different from other believers.  That is not God!  That is doctrines of devils.  That is a trap by the enemy to short circuit the power of the church against their plans and schemes and methods.

Well, Pastors, God has issued the call to you all! Begin to learn what to do for the battle.  Submit your souls to God.  Actively resist the devil and he will flee. But you must submit first.  James 4:7    The first demon to go from everyone of you is pride.  James 4:8   Then there is the spirit of haughty pride which comes with denominations and is actually a spirit which is proud of its pride. Humility is required to admit that you may be wrong in what you believe or teach to the members of your church. Humility is required to submit to God and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to train your church group how to fight the evil threatening our country.  But it must be done.  The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.  The church must rise up and fight the battle!

We will not fail if we enter into the battle with the Holy Spirit inside us.  We are one in spirit with God when born again. But our souls still need to be set free. As the Holy Spirit drives the demons out of our souls when we speak what He says to say to them, He is then the occupier/filler of our souls.  He wants to fill us with His presence.   Ephesians 5:18   We cannot just ask God to do the battle for us. In the Old Covenant the battle was the Lord’s.  Now we get to participate.  In the New Covenant the battle is ours.  According to the instructions to renew the mind in Romans 12:1-2 and Ephesians 4:23, we are to allow the Holy Spirit to help us discern the lies of the enemy in our souls, be revelated to the truth from God, and fight the battle to cast the liars out of our souls.  Then in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 we see that the weapons of our warfare are divinely powerful to the pulling down of strongholds and every lofty thing elevating itself against the knowledge of God.  When the strongholds are torn down and the demons are cast out of our souls, we then are instructed to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.  This is to determine the origin of every thought, be it holy or unholy.  Seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit is the goal.  He has already given us the tools.  Salvation means deliverance from conditions and circumstances.   We have been reconciled to the Father.  2 Corinthians 5:18-19   Our souls need to be free spiritually and be allowing the rivers of living water to flow out to others.  We can be the warriors God meant us to be.  

I am so grateful to God for the Pastor He has given me. He began training me in the dynamics of spiritual warfare in 1980 while we were both attending seminary.  Since that time, he has helped me and countless others to more spiritual freedom than I knew was possible.  His ministry has been to set the captives free through deliverance and warfare.  Through perseverance and compassion toward the children of God as our leader, he has kept watch over us, giving us an account of our souls.  Several years past he shared with us that he asked the Father if he could sing a different tune or change what he preached.  God said no.  He told my pastor that this was the part that was missing from the church today. God likened this to having a car with a flat tire.  He pointed out that to drive the car it was necessary to fix the flat tire.  “My people perish for a lack of knowledge.”  Hosea 4:6 “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.”  1 Corinthians 12:1 “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”  2 Corinthians 2:11

For the church today, the necessity is to begin doing spiritual warfare.  All men are in bondage the world over, but the Christian has the tools to set all men free.  First, help them to be born again.  Then help them to renew their minds to be free from demonic intrusion and be filled with the Holy Spirit.  Then allow the Holy Spirit to flow through the rivers of living water to the world. Do what Jesus did.  Destroy the works of the devil.  1 John 3:8b

Rise up, Pastors!  Help the church to rise up!  Receive the anointing God has for you!  Let His Spirit flow through you!

#35 REVELATION, WORD, 5/2017 YOU ARE JESUS TO THEM

Acts 10:38   You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him.

John 14:12   Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

I believe that we, as Christians, are to be doing the works which Jesus did, including laying on of hands and praying for the sick to be healed.  The two scriptures above are strong indications of this truth.  My heart is so full when I see people struggling with physical infirmities and compassion pulls me to pray for them in their needs. But I find many thoughts enter which may limit my strength to go to them and offer to pray for them.  Fear comes in many forms and hinders the will of the Lord.

I found myself in such a situation in recent months as I was out for my job doing marketing in a doctor’s office. I saw a young man in a wheel chair who was disabled with special needs.  I felt such compassion and wanted to go to him and pray for him for healing. He reminded me of my sister’s son who is similarly challenged.  But I rationalized that I was working and needed to complete my task.  Besides, there were other people there and I was afraid to go over and put my hands on him in front of everyone.   Fear of what people will think is a tool of the enemy to effectively stop us from taking action when God is so obviously pointing out a task He has for us to do.

So I did what I needed to do for work and left the office with regret that I did not go over to the young man. I lifted him up to the Lord as I left and spoke to God about how Jesus would have prayed for him and not walked by.

And then God gave me a most wondrous vision of Jesus, a figure of light in the form of the Man we know, kneeling in front of the wheelchair with a compassion and love shining through His smile. He was touching the young man and doing what I had felt led to do.  And then He said to me, “You are Jesus to them!”  All at once I saw myself kneeling in front of the young man and I was enclosed in that light that was the form, the presence of Jesus, which I had just seen!!! It was like He was superimposed around my body and we were one being!!  Wow, what a precious vision of what is reality in the spiritual realm for us as Christians!  We are one!!!   When we feel led to pray for someone, we are simply the vessel He wants to use to do what He wants to do!  It is the Holy Spirit power doing the work, not us!  

It would have been easy for me to kneel in front of the young man who so needed prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit to flow through me as the Father’s works were to be made manifest.  The enemy stopped me with fear and worry about how I would look.  I am doing spiritual warfare to be free of any method and scheme of the enemy which would keep me from following the leading of the Lord.  Remember “You are Jesus to them.”  “Offer your body a living and holy sacrifice which is your reasonable spiritual service of worship.”  Romans 12:1

WORD FROM THE LORD, 2/3/19, SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF

Theater term – “suspension of disbelief” – seeing a play on a proscenium stage – believing it is a home or street or field.

We accept what is portrayed as temporary reality knowing it is not real.  We agree to believe the lie.

In our souls, unbelief is a spirit, many spirits, a stronghold.  It is also a lie, but we accept it because the demonic has painted another reality which has become more real to us.  It has short circuited the truth.  

The truth that we are holy and righteous. That knowledge that God has given through His Spirit which threatens darkness.  We are worthy.  And clean! Deserving of health and riches.  Deserving of fellowship with God!  A total gift!!

We must suspend (definition – to stop something from being active, either temporarily or permanently) the unbelief permanently!

2 Timothy 3:7 – always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

WORD FROM THE LORD, SPRING2012 - GOD LOVES US

   “It is important that you understand my love for you.  Perceive, know it, believe it, receive it.  Without believing it you will never feel worthy to receive what I’ve given you from the cross.  You must know your value to me.  My precious ones, you are of such great value to me!  Receive that truth.”

    “You are important to me.  You are each of my heart where love began and exists.  You are created of love.  It is your essence.  The light that you and I are in the spiritual realm is made of pure love.  It is my power alive in you.  Sharing it causes it to grow.”

    “It is not for you to receive and hold onto.  It is to flow from you to others that they may know their value to me.  My word says ‘For God so loved the world…’  There are no limitations on My love!  That is why we are talking about it again.”

    “I don’t feel sorry for you, or blame you, or judge you as anything other than righteous and holy as I am holy.  You are part of me and one with Me.  There is no distinction or line separating where I begin and you begin. WE ARE ONE SPIRIT!”

   “ The enemy, with no forgiveness, no life, no love, hates you with as much passion as I love you.  His passion doesn’t mean power, unless you allow him to have power in your own soul.   That is why I have commanded that you renew your minds as you are doing even now. Satan can have no hold without your permission.  Call upon my Spirit to reveal those things from which you must be freed.  And My love, My Spirit will join with you to accomplish that freedom.”

    “ As He is so are we in this world. 1 John4:17b  You are like Me.  You have My nature of love and forgiveness.  Rise up, My daughters, for My love for you is strong and all that you need.”

1 John 4:16-17

Known – to learn to know, come to know, get a knowledge of, perceive, feel, to become known.

Believed – to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in.

Love – agape – affection, good will, love, benevolence, brotherly love.

Boldness – free & fearless confidence.

Gal 5:22-24

“This is you. Anything else isn’t!”

2 Cor 6:16-7:1, 1 John 4:10

Loved – to welcome, to entertain, to be fond of, to love dearly.

[christianandtruesuccesslife]

It's time to wake up!; God truly giving me a final warning to those who are playing with God and to those who are lukewarm. God truly did break me and fear of the Lord is very strong in my spirit.
