WARFARE DECLARED

There is a raging warfare going on now that will decide our final destination and where we will spend eternity. It is the most fierce and deadly war ever fought, and we must join one side or the other. We are not allowed to straddle the fence and try to please both sides.



This war will not be fought with carnal weapons made by man, nor by the knowledge of man, which would be totally ineffective in this war. It can only be fought with spiriitual weapons, such as the word of God, and with spiritual understanding and guidance from the Lord himself. We must have both of these together to win this fight.



Knowledge is good, but knowledge with wisdom is better. That is where this modern man has failed so badly, they have book knowledge, but they have little or no wisdom of truth. When we stray from the wisdom or truth our knowledge will fail us in the end.



These have deceived themselves into thinking they are only fighting against those of us who will not bend to the ideas and desires of modern man. They are very wrong though, because whether they realize it or not, they are in fact fighting against the Almighty God himself. This battle will continue to grow more deadly until our Lord Jesus calls his church home to be with him. When you rebel and fight against God's Word, or his children, you are rebelling against him, as you learn sooner or later.



The most dire warning I can give those who oppose the Lord in any ways is: GOD IS OMNIPOTENT [ all powerful and undefeatable], GOD IS THE CREATOR [ he created all things in heaven and earth, including man, and he alone has the right and authority to rule over all, "Hear, of Israel, the Lord thy God is one God, and though shalt worship Him and Him only], GOD IS FAITHFUL [ he will perform his every word, even those of judgment exactly as his word states]. God is not only the God of Israel, but of the entire universe.



A growing number in the church world are being drawn into this war without realizing it or the consequences of their actions in order to have peace with the world. "Divide and conquer has always be the tactice of our true enemy which is Satan himself. Although he cannot deceive all of us, he will deceive enough in the church world to cause the true ones much grief. Remember that Adam and Eve began as children of God.



You can be a professing believer of the Lord, and yet be deceived by the greatest deceiver of all, Satan, who "appears as an angel of Light". These become very effective weapons of Satan and are unaware of what they are doing.



Just as it is with the church, our enemy Satan, cannot destroy us from the outside, but work from the inside. He must infiltrate and pretend to be one of us before he can deceive us. A church does not fall from the inside but by outsiders who have slipped in, or by those who strayed from the truth, who allowed themselves to be deceived like Eve did. Our Lord warned us to "beware of wolves in sheep's clothing".


Our Lord also said "upon this rock [his word] I will build my church and the gates of hell [outsiders] will not prevail against it". Those of us who hold fast to the Lord and His Truth have one great promise though "The battle is not yours but mine saith the Lord". We are not in the fight alone but we have the Almighty God fighting for us.


I am non denominational, but I do not fault those who are. As long as your denomination holds fast the every Word of God then you should contitnue to support it. But remember this, if they began to stray from the truth and you continue to support them you are supporting the enemy.


The apostle Paul told Timothy "study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of God. God will hold each of us responsible for making sure we abide in the truth. You must study the word for yourself and be sure what you are being taught is truth.


The truth is that some of the modern versions of the bible are not completely right. They are easier to understand than the King James Version, but if they in any wise change the true meaning of the King James Version, they are wrong. Just be sure to read and compare them to the only versions confirmed by the Lord Himself.


The finding of the Dead Scrolls I feel sure are God's way of confirming this version. Isn't it amazing that these were found in caves, lying in the open for hundreds of years in this time? I feel sure there will be other things found that will support the truth, as God will confirm his Word, but not yours and mine. He also confirms the true ones by working wit h them.


Mark 16: 19" So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. 20" And they [the diciples] went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them and confirmed the Word with signs following" Where are signs of confirmation today?

I Corinthians 2:4" And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of mans wisdom, but in denonstration of the Spirit and of the power. 5"That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of man, but in the power of God. 6"Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect [believers]. yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world that come to naught. 7"But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world to our glory. 8" WHICH NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD KNEW, FOR HAD THEY KNOWN IT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY".
The so called religious leaders of Jesus time thought they knew the truth. They knew the word.but not the wisdom or true understanding of it. Do you realize that when you deny or change any word of God you are denying or changing Jesus who is the Word. In a way this could even be a way of crucifying him again.
Is there not a clear understanding of why there is so little "demonstration of the Spirit and power of God in the church world today? The Holy Spirit cannot work where it does not have complete control. It is not fleshly and will not become mixed with fleshly inperpretations or theologies of men. Have we become like Samson and do not even realize the Spirit has left us?
Judges 16: 20" And she [Delilah, worldly ones including false church] said, the Philistines [world] be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep [ many in the church world are asleep now], and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. AND HE WIST [KNEW] NOT THAT THE LORD WAS DEPARTED FROM HIM".
Without even be aware of it the false worldly church it joining hands with the world to destroy the truth, just like those did to our Lord Jesus. Doing away with truth takes away our feeling of condemnation.
Acts 4: 26" The kings of this earth stood up and gathered together against his [God's] Christ. 27" For of a truth against thy holy Holy Child Jesus, whom thou has anointed, both Herod [world leaders] and Pontius Pilate [church leaders], with the Gentiles [unbelievers], and the people of Israel [supposed children of God], were gathered together."
We are now nearing the end of this warfare, and this battle will grow more deadly and fierce because the leader of these [Satan] knows his time is short and he only wishes to take as many as he can to hell with him. He has absolutely no regard for youf welfare, but will laugh at you for being so foolish as to be deceived by him as you suffer the same fate he faces.
I am not fighting this warfare to same this already condemned fleshly body, but to save my eternal soul. But thanks be to our Loving and Faithful Father, when it is all over, even this mortal body will be resurrected in a glorious form just like my Lord Jesus Christ did.This is the promise and great hope of all those who fight and win this battle over Satan. You really cannot affored to lose out. God bless and keep you.
