THE STRATEGY

We have just begun to understand spiritual warfare and the strategy involved. Evil has been fighting a war for a long time. God tells us evil is a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Satan practices a strategy of doubt, deception and distraction.

Even the very nature of reality is being skewed. Most people live in a virtual world and if they see it on the internet, it is perceived as being real. If officials say something on a social media platform, it is the truth. If people live in the virtual world long enough it is like a drug, or an idol, as they prefer it to the real world. They can't live without it. Imagine a drug addict without his drug. What if all electronic devices ceased to function? Nobody would know what to do. The strategy of giving people something to consume or absorb daily is bad enough, but imagine taking it all away! It would be a power vacuum that satan would quickly fill. Be careful what you immerse yourself in, because it can consume you.

We must keep grounded in reality and know how to spot deception and recognize truth. Our circle around us is real and we can influence it in a positive way. We can touch our world by picking flowers, read God's truth in the Bible, deal with real problems as they arise, smell a pizza cooking, and hear birds singing. God has made a beautiful world that you can embrace. We are filled with the Holy Spirit and God will speak to us and guide us. This is the reality of a holy spiritual realm and we need to learn how to see with eyes that see and hear with ears that hear. It will become natural to see life in another dimension, as God answers prayers and performs great works in and around each one of us!

Electronic devices and data are tools to help us when we need them, but they are not life or real. We should know how to live without "looking it up" on the web. If the enemy manipulates the virtual world, entrapping us at every turn, and then takes it away, it should not paralyze us. We should know how to live. Do you remember your grandmother planting a garden and how to raise vegetables? Do you know how to hunt and provide food for your family if there was no food on the grocery store shelf? Do you know how to purify water if the municipal water fails?

The enemy punishes those who speak of God and of truth. The cancel culture will persecute you for being a Christian. Society wants to erase the conservative, patriot, constitutionalist Christian. We cannot let them win. The evil strategy is the tire us out and wear us down, until we do nothing to fight back. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke. It has proved true.

Understand the strategy of the enemy and have a strategy of your own. Put on the whole armor of God. Be strong.

1 Peter 5:8-11

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 12:7-12

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Ephesians 6:10-17

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

1 John 5:4-5

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

1 John 4:4-6

We are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

John 12:31

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

John 16:33

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

1 Corinthians 16:13

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Matthew 13:16-17

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
