Living

Gate 8 –
Horse Gate : Spiritual Warfare
Maayong
Adlaw mga igsuon kang Kristo,
The Lord is
so much good!!! I can’t believe it, it’s been already two months when I left
Batangas City, and went to Davao City, Samal Island to get some advance
training, I have seen God really working everywhere, in any situation, and to
everyone. It is really true what the Lord Jesus has said in John 4:35; it says,
“Do you not say, ‘Four months and then
the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe
for harvest.” What a clear command from our Lord, they are ready, people are
ready, many of them are dying not knowing Christ and also waiting for someone
to tell them about God’s undeserved grace!
If you say “NO”!
He is not Lord, if you say “YES”!! He is Lord! Is he the Lord of your life?
Now I want
to share about what I have learned from one of our topic in AOT, Spiritual Warfare.
What I really like and also helpful to me, is
one of our memory verse in Nehemiah Teams it says’,” For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and
against the spiritual forces or evil in the heavenly realms.” – Ephesians 6:12.
Notice the truth Christians! “NOT against flesh and blood” the people are NOT
the enemy, religions are NOT the enemy, there is something Spiritual Battle
happening in the heavenly realm. There is only one enemy and he is Satan the
Devils. The spiritual warfare study is about; Learning to recognize the
strategy of the enemy, refusing to cooperate with the devil schemes of strategy
and aggressively cutting them off in Jesus name! Every strategy of the enemy
leads to:
·
Deception
·
Bondage
·
Destruction
So I
realized now what’s happening to my family, friends, to my City, to my Country,
and other Country.! They are been deceived by the prince of darkness, and it
opens my eyes to Go! And to pray for other people group from the whole world
and cutting them off in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that also I must do
something, I must pray and I must tell other people(Christians) also to Go and
reach the unreached people groups in my own country or even outside of the
country they must know that there is victory in Christ Jesus. They must also hear about the love and free gift of Salvation
that only through Christ Jesus by faith in Him.
ALL should
Go and Go to ALL. In Matthew 24:14 says
; ”And this gospel of kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” See? It has to be
finished! You will be excited for this if you know to yourself that you’re
already saved, you will also be excited to move and pray for all nations, then
if you’re “not” , you are in a big trouble with your relationship with God. God
has only one method to make His name known to all nations, and it is us,
believers-Christians! Are you “not” one of “us”?
Once
William Carey a missionary in India has said; Attempt great for God, expect
great from God!
