What is the first thing you think of?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear one of these terms or someone speaking to you about them?

• Spiritual warfare

• This is a spiritual battle

• We are in all a spiritual battle

• In this spiritual battle there is no neutral position - you must choose a side

For many the first (and maybe the only) thing that comes to mind is taking on evil or fighting demons head on. While this is truly a part of spiritual warfare sometimes the greatest and most powerful spiritual battles we will fight are simply living out our daily lives Gods way. For many of us we will never face a demon or pure evil but that does not mean we do not have spiritual battles to fight if we are truly following God and are trying to live for him. Quite the contrary.

What is the true spiritual battle we face?

If for many of us "the greatest and most powerful spiritual battles we will fight are simply living out our daily lives Gods way" is true then what is the spiritual battle all about? To simply fight against evil everywhere we see it? Well, yes and no. As Christians, or true believers in Christ, our ultimate calling is directed in John 3:16 and 17 (King James Version)

16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

God wants to restore His relationship with every man, woman and child alive today or that will be born in the future. The last thing the enemy (lucifer, satan, the devil - what ever you want to call him) wants is for anyone to return to God and restore that relationship. He hates everything that God loves and that means that the enemy hates you and wants you to suffer the same fate he does (eternal separation form God). Every man, woman and child must choose for themselves if they want that relationship with God. That is where the battle lies in helping point others to God so "that whosoever believes in Him [Jesus] shall not parish". You must understand that the enemy will do everything he can to make you choose him and not God. John 10:10 says (King James Version)

10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

We have to choose the follow the enemy who hates us and wants the worst for us or to follow Jesus (God) who came to give us abundant life. It is just that simple. Choose you this day whom you will serve.

Why would so many choose someone who hates them?

Our enemy is a great liar and deceiver. He will do anything he can to make you think choosing him is the right choice. God has given every individual the free will to choose or reject Him. True love is a choice, not a programmed response. I do not love my family because I have to or cannot do anything else. That would not be love. It would be forced servitude.

True spiritual warfare is for us to help others make the correct choice to return to God, to help them not make choices that allows the enemy a foothold in their lives and how to remove the enemy once he has that foothold. Personal spiritual warfare is to identify where then enemy has gotten into our lives and take the proper steps to remove him.

My personal experience in this area

I spent several years studying areas such as:

• UFO/Alien abduction (this is more serious than you think and part of end time deception)

• The Occult and Witchcraft

• Satanism/Luciferianism

• New Age/New World order

• Masons, Illuminate, Agenda 21/2030

• Hollywood, movies, TV, musical ties to the occult

• Watched video/Listened to audio testimonies of former witches, satanist and occultist

I cannot say I am an expert in any of these but I learned enough to know what they are, what to look for in everyday life and in some cases to identify a common thread running through them.

I have been there

I have also had first hand experience with direct spiritual warfare. I was delivered from depression, anger and other things. I learned that the depression and anger were direct result of spiritual influence in my family history. I have prayed over other people who were also been delivered and healed.

I almost died as a result of demonic attachments in my home and have seen demons manifest while praying with others for the salvation of someone. What would most people do if they were praying for someone and a demon manifested during the prayer. Call the pastor or someone else from their church, tell the person to stop acting that way or stop praying with them? Would YOU know what to do?

Disclaimer

I am just an average person like most here with a family and a highly demanding career on my time. I have no college education, no formal Bible or seminary training and I am just trying to get through all the stresses of the matrix like everyone else.

If the kinds of things I have gone through could happen to me I can assure you it can happen to anyone. It maybe happening to many of you today and you may not even aware of it because the enemy’s attacks can be very subtle, hidden and he is no rush to bring you down.

Conclusion

You must understand how the enemy operations and what his schemes and tactics are. If you do not understand that you will never have victory in your own life or help your loved ones who are under serious spiritual attack.

When I opened this posting I stated that for many of us "the greatest and most powerful spiritual battles we will fight are simply living out our daily lives Gods way" and that is true. For some of us, however, God has called and equipped us to take on the enemy on his own turf and be victorious doing it. In the future I will be writing blogs, doing videos and perhaps some pod casts on spiritual warfare to help train some of you to fight the enemy head to head and for others how to fight the enemy in their daily lives.

In most cases I will be speaking more from a perspective of first hand experience with various aspects of spiritual warfare and the things I have learned as a result of going through those battles. For example, I have learned how the enemy can operate in peoples lives and it is not always the way we have been lead to believe.

I want all of this to be about God, his mercy, love and willingness to help everyone. It is not about me. When I write or do interviews I am talking about my personal experiences, the things I have learned and things I have done to help defeat the enemy. I am just the tool being used. It may sound like it is about me but it is about Him and how I was used to point others to Him.

I have been a guest Patriots Soapbox and talked about some of these things. You can find those interviews on my Orbys videos page at https://orbys.net/SpiritWarrior/video/.
