Report Article
I recently had God speak to me that He was getting ready to put me on the frontlines of spiritual warfare. I have been a believer for some time now but I was a believer with not much victory in my life with many strongholds of rejection, fear and insecurity, pride and rebellion. These strongholds produced much ungodly fruit in my life for years. Things like substance abuse, compulsions, unhealthy relationships and the list goes on. I’ve always known that demonic influence was real but to be honest I did not give it much thought in looking at that being a big reason for my defeated life. Then God started His Holy Spirit prompting and leading as only He knows how to do to get your attention. In a very short time period He began a work in me and out of desperation I asked Him to open my spiritual eyes. He was faithful as He always is and my eyes began to open to the unseen battle going on in my own life, my home, my family and my church. It’s funny how Christians, the ones who are supposed to be more aware of the spiritual battle going on in their lives are sometimes the ones most blinded. Our enemy, satan and his fallen angels (the imps) are very crafty at deceiving us. He wants us to forget about him so we do nothing to get him out of our lives. He makes us think that people are the real problem so we fight each other instead of the ones behind it all. In pursuit of my own victory I began studying like never before about the demonic world and the authority we have in Jesus over them. Well let me tell you, demons watch us and know us very well and when they know they have been found out they will intensify their tactics. They know our weaknesses, the roots of where the strongholds began and they will use people and situations to tighten the chains around us. I have begun to understand what God was meaning when He said I am preparing you to put you on the frontlines. You see the frontlines in battle are the most important positions, the most advanced positions. In the frontlines you are dealing directly with the enemy. It is a bordering trouble spot which means two countries that border another where an armed conflict is taking place. In this case the two countries represent this world and the heavenlies. The bible say’s in John 14:30 that satan is the prince of this world. He and his demons are unseen to most by the human eye but the effects of his presence here can be seen clearly if we chose to let God open our spiritual eyes. My victory and freedom is a day by day process and He is freeing me more and more from the enemy’s grips by helping me to recognize him when he is working in my life and around me. I then can take my authority as a frontline officer in this battle. I believe He is calling us all to the frontlines but only some will go. We let the spirit of fear which is not of God to stop us from advancing and taking back the territory that is rightfully ours through Jesus Christ. This battle is not easy but it will be worth it as we see how wimpy the enemy really is and how our confidence in Jesus grows as we take our victory as each battle comes. Choosing to ignore that we have a real enemy and that he is actively working in our lives does not stop him from doing his destruction. It’s time to stop pretending and put on our armor and be the warriors that we are. I don’t know about you but I would much rather be a warrior who has some battle scars than a defeated foe who won’t get back up. So take your stand and get in the war. We have victories to win and prisoners of sin to lead to freedom.
ADVANCE ON MY FELLOW WARRIOR!
