SPIRITUAL WARFARE (9) - The EVIL ARMY is MARCHING FORWARD - 13 November 2017
During the end of apostle Paul's three year ministry in Ephesus - his third missionary trip - he received - through various sources - REPORTS of PROBLEMS in the CORINTHIAN GATHERINGS (worship meetings) of BELIEVERS (church) - inclusive of things like SEXUAL IMMORALITY - JEALOUSY - ENVY - DISTRUST and DISUNITY - also DISPUTES and ARGUMENTS resolving into DISCIPLINE problems.
Corinth was a most important multicultural and diverse city - seaport and also a major trade center in New Testament times. It was the most important city in Achaia (a region of Greece on the north coast of the Peloponnesus Province in New Testament times) - made up of largely Gentiles - and was FILLED WITH IDOLATRY and IMMORALITY.
TODAY in MODERN SOCIETY - the MOST RELENTLESS ONSLAUGHT by the ENEMY is STILL on the BELIEVERS in CHRIST the MESSIAH - HIS BRIDE.
His MOST IMPORTANT PLAYGROUND is the 'CHRISTIAN CHURCH'. With many a Christian unknowingly living in BONDAGE - the ENEMY WILL LEAVE them ALONE with only SPORADICAL UPFLAIRS IN ANGER when BEING RISKED in being EXPOSED.
With LACK of KNOWLEDGE the average Christian have no idea of the ARMY of HELL under the LEADERSHIP and COMMAND of their master - the devil himself - MARCHING in their HORDES - FORWARD - on the SPIRITUAL BATTLEFIELD of LIFE - to CONQUER MAN.
They are marching towards us and their names are:

BAPTIZED by the FRUITS of the EVIL ONE:
These DEMONS are so strong that they could SOW their EVIL SEED INTO MULTITUTES of people - an ENTIRE RACE or CULTURE of people - as they received the "power" from their leader to "BAPTIZE" (saturate) MULTITUTES with the 'fruits of his evil spirit'
The AIM is to DESENSITIZE and OVERPOWER - to WEARY DOWN and to CONQUER - to KILL - STEAL and DESTROY. (John 10:10)
Before the EVIL ARMY HITS - demon SCOUTS are SENT OUT to FIND the OPENING IN OUR SPIRITUAL WALLS - in the SPIRITUAL WALLS of the WORSHIP gatherings (churches) - families and individuals. There is NO MERCY in the KINGDOM of EVILNESS and their biggest triumph is to cause DISCORD - LUST - REJECTION and/or BITTERNESS - CAUSING an OPENING for the HORDES OF EVIL to FLOOD IN.
UN-REPENTED SIN:
The evil army's 'horses' are their victims - covering them with the SLIME of THEIR EVILNESS. When they see an opening - no matter how small - it can also be UNREPENTED SIN of a temporary anger - a swear word that burst from the lips or UNREPENTED GENERATIONAL SIN - they would flood in - trying to convince their victims to belief their lies that the sin was not big enough to repent of or that it is not necessary to repent of generational sin. The moment their victim would agree, they would grow STRONGER AND STRONGER until they HAD BUILT A STRONGHOLD founded on DECEPTION because their POWER LIES in DECEPTION.
WE ARE CONQUERORS IN MESSIAH YAHSHUA:
We as believers in Messiah received all the powers from Him to DEFEAT the ENEMY. When we are hit with lies it is our CHOICE to BELIEF it OR NOT - to AGREE with the ENEMY or DISAGREE. And IF WE SIN to REPENT of IT IMMEDIATELY.
REPENTANCE is the KEY:
With REPENTANCE the evil powers would just fade away and disappear as the Light of MESSIAH HIT them. (Luke 10:19 "Behold! I HAVE GIVEN you AUTHORITY AND POWER to TRAMPLE UPON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS (DEVILS and DEMONS) AND PHYSICAL and MENTAL STRENGTH AND ABILITY] OVER ALL the POWER that the ENEMY POSSESSES]; AND NOTHING shall IN ANY WAY HARM YOU")
YAHSHUA You are our WONDERFUL SAVIOR - our SPIRITUAL ARMOR - our GLORIOUS KING. Thank THEE that IN THEE WE ARE SAFE. Thank THEE for being OUR DOOR - the WAY to LIFE EVERLASTING. Thank THEE that WE CAN COME IN AND GO OUT FREELY into the THRONE ROOM and MEET WITH THEE FACE to face. In YOUR NAME - YAHSHUA HA'MASCHIACH - we pray. Amen.
