December 21, 2021 What is on your mind today… are troubling issues of our uncertain times causing you to be anxious and weary? Let me encourage you with these important Biblical truths... Paul instructed the Ephesians how to face the calamities that troubled them… and, that the calamities were supernatural, not “flesh and blood” powers; although they use human host to do their evil deeds. “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 the heavenly places.” eph 6:11-12 nkjv Their battle was not unlike the spiritual attacks humanity is facing today… Paul tells them to stand in divinely prepared covering provided by Yahweh's promise… “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.” eph 6:13 nkjv I think we live in an “evil day;” it is my opinion we face expertly designed psychological bombardments along with cleverly devised “manipulative methods” from media, institutional educational programs, government, financial and industrialist corporate entities, that I call the cabal of evil globalists [world wide]… all complicit players in “high places” that are just getting started in their totalitarian takeover of humanity. I think this is the rise of the Biblical “beast system” described in the writings of the Apostle John in his “Revelations.” These things are NOT just driven by men’s typical lust for wealth, power, and narcissism. These are “End of Days” prophecies [events] and clearly visible to persons who believe the Bible's teachings. Paul also tells the Corinthians… “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” 2 cor 10:3-6 nkjv The antidote for fear driven stress and anxiety is faith in Yahweh’s faithfulness to His people… consider these therapeutic words that Paul says to the Philippians: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil 4:8 kjv Consider Yeshua’s words: “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12:4-5 kjv ”For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2tim 1:7 nkjv Therefore, let us choose wisely what we allow to tarry in our minds, and what we give space to, especially we must resist the manipulative efforts of the demonic system that tries to press us into its ways. Shalom... John |
