I'm learning about the Spiritual battle

I'm learning, I'm learning about the Spiritual battle

Walking with Christ is not easy. I've heard many preachers preach the Gospel of Jesus promising happiness freedom and prosperity that the moment you have Christ life will become easier and your problems will go away but they were wrong.

life with Christ is indeed liberating but liberation is not from this world but from the shackles of sin, bondage and strongholds, I'm learning that being with Christ has a consequence and that is you automatically become the enemy of the devil. When we were sinking in sin the devil knew he already had us but the moment we choose to have Christ and walk in his ways we become the target and the pressure is even more, he makes it his mission to destroy us because we have the truth and is threatened that other will find it too. John 15:19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you. A servant is not greater than his master, if they persecuted me, they will also persecute you, if they kept your word they, they will keep yours also."

Now that we are children of God the attack will be more vicious but this time we have a powerful weapon and that is God himself, he is the one who fights on our behalf he is our great warrior Exodus 15:3 "The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name" the problem with us and as natural as it comes we automatically take matters into our own hands and when we do, we only end up ever hurting ourselves or other people in the process, but once we deal with situation and people though Gods way it is better.

2 Timothy 3:12 "yes all who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" persecution is inevitable the moment we carry the cross we are the target of the devil, it can be physical persecution or even spiritual that is why reading the word of God is important, and not just reading or hearing but doing it, the word of God is our weapon. During my prayers God begins to revel to me things that happens in the spiritual realm. There are times where God calls me into a fast and instructs me to not go on social media and be on house arrest. In the physical there isn't anything happening but in the spiritual there is a battle between the forces of God and the forces of the devil. Staying home meant God was protecting me from what was happening.

There was one incident during the day there was an intense heaviness, every time I tried to read the word of God I would fall asleep, my body would be in so much pain it was as if I was wrestling with someone just from sleeping alone I would be exhausted. During these time of drifting in and out of sleep I would hear my spirit call out "JESUS SAVE ME" and the Holy Spirit would bring scriptures into mind that I would meditate on. As I sought God on what was happening the Lord showed me there was a great battle happening just above the roof of my home between angles and demons my life was the target.

Philippians 1:29 "For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for his sake." There was a time in early 2018 during my prayers in my room that I felt I different presence, a fear took hold of me but I quickly asked God to cover me, as I continued the Lord showed me that there was a witch who was directly at my window looking in, the Holy spirit led me to pray for the salvation of her soul that God almighty will be able to minister and that her eyes will open to see that there is the one true God and his name is Jesus. At the end of the prayer did it really begin to sink in that there was an actual witch hovering just outside my window, I knew she was blonde Caucasian and from a foreign land the Holy spirt showed me that she was on a mission to spy on me.

On another day during a prayer session at the alter with the young ladies of Calvary that there was another intense attack from the enemy this time the presence was the strongest that I have ever felt, my friends and I all felt it manifest in the physical, a terrifying fear began to grip us, but we knew we had a stronger power and that was the Lord Jesus Christ, we began to call out to Jesus to save us in tears and desperations di we call on Jesus to cover us in his blood and rescue us from the attack just as he promised in Romans 10:13 " For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" he was faithful enough to save. The presence was there to kill, us and the Lord showed a witch I believe was the same one that I encounter at my bedroom in the church, for days the Lord had led the ladies and I to intercede for the church, nation and many more things, he began to show us the different spiritual stronghold on places and people so this witch was sent over to stop the work of the prayer.

The more I walk with God living daily by his word and submitting to prayer that God begins to show more and more detail of what is happening in the spiritual realm. More and more I begin to realize that this life is more than the physical, the devil I has so much distraction in the physical that we begin to completely forget what happens in the spiritual, we begin to blame people for things that happen but forget there is a bigger influence that cannot be seen.

We need to focus on the true enemy and that is not man but the forces of darkness Ephesians 6:10- 12 "Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places." Once we realize this and keep it in mind we will begin to look at other people those the lens of Gods eyes with compassion and mercy.

I'm learning that the battle is only done through prayer and the word of God, it is through these tools that the Lord begins to show up, but going to battle with spiritual beings means there must be a spiritual armor. Ephesians 6: 13-18 "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore girded your WAIST with TRUTH, having put on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS and having shod your FEET with the preparation of the gospel of PEACE; above all, taking the SHIELD of FAITH with which you are able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the HELMET of SALVATION, and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF GOD; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saint." I'm learning to always ask the Lord to dress me in the armor of God every time I go into prayer, we need a spiritual cover always even when we sleep.

This spiritual battle will continue till I take my last breath, but more and more I'm learning about how the spiritual affect the physical, once we start looking beyond what we can we understand how thing play out, how people behave and why there is so much filth and sin. It opens our eyes to see the true enemy and that is not man for the forces of darkness.
