For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. (Eph 6:12, AMP)
It is of vital importance that we seek Holy Ghost for a deeper level of discernment in this hour. For the enemy is being exposed and he is outraged and in the attack mode. He desires to bring contention, confusion and destruction wherever he can withi the body of Christ.
Jesus warned His disciples, and that warning is still in full force to those who are His disciples in this hour:
“Constantly be on your guard against phony prophets [teachers]. They come disguised as lambs, appearing to be genuine, but on the inside they are like wild, ravenous wolves! (Matthew 7:15, TPT)
There are some within ministry circles who have been operating under the influence of the demonic realm, much like the sleeper cells of nautral terrorist groups. Though they speak with smooth lips, they are but puppets whose strings are dark entities of the Kingdom of darkness. They themselves are indeed of rescue for they are convinced they are doing the work of the Lord, even as Saul believed he was until the Lord rescued him on the road to Damascus.
We cannot be drawn into hand- to -hand combat (verbal) with these individuals, this is just what the enemy wants us to do. We must remain in the position of REST as peace makers and fight the good fight in the Spirit. In doing such we make room for Holy Ghost to expose the spirits that are controlling these individuals. We must learn to discern which spirits we are dealing with as well. For in such we will be giving the Spiritual insight as to how to pray and war in the Spirit.
Take for example the Jezebel spirit, much like the religious spirit she uses all of her strength to remain hidden, thus when she is exposed, she has no strength to contain herself. She will launch a relentless attack against any anointed person who refuses to bow to her. Challenge her and you will become the target of character assassination. Yet, we must remember it is not the individual, they are a captive to this demonic entity.
We must respond in the Father’s love & grace, howbeit, remember that His love & grace come with Kingdom governmental authority.
Pray that Holy Spirit exposes this spirit to others, that He binds this spirit, that He silences this spirit and ultimately frees the person(s) that it has taken captive. At the same time, we must use wisdom with grace, remove the individual from any leadership position such as teaching or speaking so that we don’t end up with any casualties of war. We must ask Holy Ghost to close the ears of the congregation from the poisonous lies that this spirit and other evil spirits will attempt to inject others with, attempting to build an unholy alliance to give credibility to their calling and influence.
It may even be necessary to remove them from having any contact with the congregation for a period of time which must be done with an urgency however graceful public announcement.
Jesus taught His disciples the Spiritual skills to discern the dark spiritual beings;
By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruit you will recognize them [as false prophets]..” (Matthew 7:16-20, AMP)
We are in a war for the soul of this nation and for the Bride of Christ and the lost. We must stop allowing the enemy to cause distractions and confusion by luring us into hand- to -hand combat with people, for it only causes divisions and chaos, which for decades has prevented the Congregation of the Saints (The Bride) to walk in her true destiny, robbing generation after generation of their identities.
If we will purpose in our hearts to walk in Faith, allowing Holy Ghost to be our Spiritual GPS, we will begin to see the Light of the Lord’s Glory start to not only penetrate the dark realms of Satans rulership that has keep to Bride in divided camps, we will as well begin the see these dark spiritual forces evacuating whole territories of influence they have illegally be occupying for generations.
2020 was a transitional year, a bridge crossing from the Grace age of the Church into the Kingdom age of the Church starting in this year, 2021. Let us begin to battle from a constant stance of Victory winning battle after battle, enforcing the Victory our Lord won on the cross. For as the Apostle Paul stated:
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. (Romans 8:37, AMP)
