Spiritual Warfare Skill – Forgiveness

Unforgiveness is like ‘carrying so much load not necessary as a soldier in a battlefield’. How can you march unrestricted and fight the enemy? As a result, one ends up getting injured for carrying too much weight. These injuries are attributed to being overwhelmed in our lives with afflictions and setbacks- these may be related to our spiritual life ; though is 24 hrs in the day one is unable to read their Bible daily, pray or dedicate time to fast; or perhaps you’re not able to do any form of ‘charity’ work as the book of Acts 20:35 directs all children of God , setbacks in your finances relating to debts, health issues , infertility, family breakdown or conflicts, educational problems, suffering trauma from sexual harassment or an assault, setbacks in career and business just to name a few.

If one prays with an unforgiving heart, then basically there is no ‘transmission’ with the Holy Spirit [Ruach ha-Kodesh]; is more or less like talking to yourself . Our heart, is a Spirit- the prayer room [the temple of God] and the contact point with our Sovereign God’ [ADONAI Elohim]. Unforgiveness is therefore a sin which becomes a significant barrier between your heart and our Lord God Elohim. Jesus Christ [Yeshua], gave us the skill on how to win our battles and achieve anything we want in our lives in the book of Mark 11:25 – He said, ”whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing”.

Without a free-spirited heart in prayer, you cannot fight the enemy with the ‘The Word of God [Yeshua] ‘-our weapon in all our battles. Acts 15:8, emphasizes that, ADONIA Elohim knows and screens our heart ‘like an X-ray’ before sending the comforter – the Holy Spirit. If we are unwilling or unable to forgive others, holding grudges, anger, bitterness and pain of the past in our hearts; is like allowing your weapon to get dirty in a battlefield. Ephesians 4:30-32 tells us that ”and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. How could your Prayers be powerful enough to break through all the opposition in the Heavenly places and get to the Throne of God. In the book of Daniel 10:13 , the Angel sent by God to answer Daniels prayers said ”But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia”. If our prayers are not powerful enough there will always be opposition in the heavenly places of darkness capable of stopping answered prayers ; one can not have a powerful prayer with an unforgiving heart.

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult things to do, yet the most powerful of all skills required as a soldier of Jesus Christ [Yeshua]. Our commander in chief said in Matthew 18, that to enter into the kingdom of God we have to be like a child. So, let’s go back to the basics brothers and sisters, during the Lord’s prayer we ask God to forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. In Matthew 6:14-15, Yeshua went on further to say, ”For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Looking at this in a mathematical spectrum, not only is this a covenant with God, but a rule in the heavens [Genesis 1:1]. Jesus Christ also said in John 16:33 that, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” . You can not live in this world and not get offended or get hurt- The people most closest to you will be your worst enemy [Matthew 10:36]. Take note, these are the same people the enemy uses as his secret weapon, so it can become very difficult to forgive.

Unforgiveness is one of the secret weapons used by the enemy to trap us and so able to throw afflictions into our lives. Unforgiveness is a sin and if you live in sin, you’re in darkness and unable to see. As a result it facilitates the enemies attack options and makes it very easy to be afflicted with sorrow. One have to learn the skill to forgive and be able to move into light as quickly as possible. Is very clear here brothers and sisters, the enemy cannot fight you in the light for light overcomes darkness [John 1:5]. The world is full of afflictions and setbacks because of unforgiveness. There are sons and daughters holding grudges against family members for years; I have heard in so many occasions in the United Kingdom ; ‘I don’t talk to my dad , I don’t talk to my mum’ ; ‘ I just can’t stand him or her’ and so on .This vicious cycle of unforgiveness all around us has allowed the enemy to trap so many people. Pick up the Phone if you still reading up to this point brothers and sisters and make that call. Forgive and reconcile, this may be your breakthrough to everything you have been praying for all this time.

When we choose to forgive, we receive peace and freedom, but also turn the person who wronged us over to our commander in chief [Yeshua] to work on them- is like passing over a prisoner of war-’leaving it for God’ -that’s when powerful miracles happen. The Psalmist tells us in 103: 2-2, Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, . Even at the point of death our commander in chief Yeshua, showed us the power of forgiveness -in the Holy Scriptures of Luke 23:34, Jesus Christ said on the cross, …’Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing”… The final ‘ticket’ to purchase before you can enter the kingdom of God is to forgive all the people that have wronged you, even if they are unaware of what they have done to you. Jesus Christ died for us and forgave us of all our transgressions – that’s why we have freedom and salvation.

Remember to watch your tongue for is a powerful weapon as the book of Proverbs 18:21 tells us; it has the power of life and death and you’ll eat it’s fruit. Is the same tongue we use to call on the ‘The WORD’, “be delivered in the name of Jesus Christ” and the kingdom of demons and evil spirits in the heavenly places tremble. Avoid saying ‘you will never forgive’ – this is a ‘dark’ pathway the enemy uses to connect you with afflictions and setbacks in your life. 2 Samuel 6:7 clearly shows our heavenly father also gets angry because HE is a GOD of Justice . Is okay to get angry because God created us in HIS own image; is written in the Scriptures, Genesis 1:27. The Bible went further to warn us in Ephesians 4:26 that, ‘But do not sin, don’t let the sun go down on your anger’. It is not easy to forgive – one have to look at forgiveness as an act of peeling an onion- need to forgive over and over again and often times with tears in the eyes associated with pain. Solution is to fast and Pray if you’re struggling to forgive someone or people that have wronged you ; during that process, Jesus Christ will see your faith and provide you with the grace to completely forgive who ever has wronged you. Remember in Luke 5:20, ”When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

Prayer

“The yoke of unforgiving spirit in my life is broken in Jesus Christ name today! “Give me the Grace ADONAI Elohim to be free from unforgiving evil spirits today ” Amen Amen Amen.

Accepting Yeshua [Jesus Christ] in your heart

There is a Promise in the Holy Scriptures at John 3:16, ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life’ .

Jesus Christ foretold the ‘signs of the end of time’ in Matthew 24, …the Good News of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.

All you have to do now is accept YESHUA– Jesus Christ as your Messiah in your heart; and if you do this willingly this day at this very hour, you will be saved just like the criminal on the cross with Jesus Christ in Luke 23:42-43, ”And he said, “Yeshua, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”Yeshua said to him, “Amen, I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” There is no true loving parent that will lock their door in the middle of the night to a rebellious child. They either wait for them to come back or go out looking for them. So what do expect Our Loving Father HaShem to do? The door to come back into the kingdom of God is open for you. Yeshua is the only way to the Father. Is never too late to be saved and there is no sin ever committed that, God can not forgive, if you willingly come to HIM with repentance.

Now tell someone you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal saviour today; Jesus Christ called everyone to Himself publicly.

Yeshua is the Lion of the tribe of Judah that was slain for all your sins and with HIM you will face no judgement on the last day, no matter your religion, gender, race or believe. The Holy Scriptures of Revelation 5 promises us that, by Yeshua’s blood shed on the cross we are all saved. Just believe…

God bless you, Amen Amen Amen.

Spiritual Warfare Skill -Discipleship

You are now wearing the uniform as a soldier of Jesus Christ of Nazareth [Yeshua], so not only can you be identified by your fellow soldiers [believers] but can easily be spotted by the enemy. Being a disciple of Yeshua is like ‘pouring honey on the floor [your salvation into the kingdom of GOD]. This will attract insects and all other crawling creatures [the enemy- the devil and his angels] to ‘destroy’ and ‘consume’ you, basically to stop you from entering the kingdom of GOD but rather join them in the lake of fire[Hell]. Yeshua reminded us in the Holy Scriptures of Matthew 25:41 that, … the everlasting fire has been prepared for the devil and his angels and not for you nor me. There is a constant spiritual warfare going on to win souls for either the Kingdom of GOD or the kingdom of darkness. Is it people gossiping about your life or a senior or manager at work doing everything to frustrate or stop your career progression or perhaps you have family problems or dealing with infertility? Are you facing bereavement, health problems, financial problems or there has been setbacks in your business or education? Or perhaps you struggling with your faith and believe in God- Spiritual life. What you need to say with full conviction right now brothers and sisters, just like Jesus Christ [Yeshua] said, when He first predicted His death and resurrection to his disciples, in Matthew 16:21-23 is, ‘get behind me satan!’. The devil can use anything to derail you from your destiny. Even the devil used Peter the Apostle , someone very close to Jesus Christ [Yeshua] the Messiah, our Lord of Armies.

In Christianity, disciple primarily refers to a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ. A disciple in the ancient biblical world actively imitated both the life and teaching of the master. It is not the same as being a student in the modern sense. If you’re a follower of Yeshua, then you’re extremely hated by the evil one; he will try all sorts of tricks and schemes to stop you from getting into the Kingdom of God. These are all the setbacks and afflictions you face today, continue in faith brothers and sisters. Lets look at what led to the mixed crowds to believed amid persecution of the disciples in Acts 14. ”Jewish people came from Antioch and Iconium; and after they won the crowd over and stoned Paul, they were dragging him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.But while the disciples surrounded him, he got up and went back into the city. On the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.After proclaiming the Good News to that city and making many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch. They were strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to persevere in faith, and saying, “It is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God.” As a disciple of Yeshua the Messiah, the people around you, build their faith and believe as you continue to face challenges everyday and win .Brothers and sisters, you’re proclaiming the Good News in your afflictions and that of others.

As a soldier going into a battle, there will be times when your strength and endurance is tested to it’s full capabilities. I have been told during my service in the British Army that, ‘I signed up for Queen and Country’ and must be ready to put down my life. Interesting right? This is the Fact, however, is not the truth. Everyone enlists as a soldier willingly with their personal agenda. As a ‘physical soldier’ you affirm to obey the orders of the head of State or President and the orders of the officers appointed to defend your people and it’s territories against all enemies. When you’re ‘born from above’ (known as born a again), believe and accept Jesus Christ the Nazarene- Yeshua HaMashiach [Jesus the Messiah]; you become a spiritual soldier– you have automatically enlisted in Army of ADONAI [GOD], and ‘MUST’ be led willingly, by the Lord of Armies, Jesus Christ- YESHUA. Luke 6:40 tells us that, ”A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher”.Brothers and sisters, the truth is that, you’re now enlisted as soldier, in the Invisible War Army for the kingdom of GOD. When you become a soldier of Yeshua, you abandon everything to be a disciple. Yeshua reminded us of this in Luke 14:26,33 that, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters—and yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.” ”So in the same way, whoever does not renounce all that he has, cannot be My disciple”.

In every warfare there will be casualties and or fatalities. In spiritual warfare these are the afflictions we face 24/7. The Good News is that, we are following a commander who have already won the battle. 1 Corinthians 15:57 reminds us to continue to give thanks to ADONAI-Elohim, who keeps giving us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah! Is this not enough to stop worrying and complaining about our troubles? The invincible battles you’re facing right now with all the troubles in life was won when our commander in chief Yeshua laid down His life for you on the Cross at Golgotha. Brothers and sisters, we have freedom based on Favor. Galatians 5:1 promises us that, ”For freedom, Messiah set us free—so stand firm, and do not be burdened by a yoke of slavery again”. Your ‘troubles should rather be your friend and not an enemy’. Your troubles should highlight the fact that, the enemy has identified you as a disciple of Jesus Christ [”the honey on the floor”] and want’s to do anything to stop you from the Kingdom of God. The enemy strives to use all forms of tricks and deceit to derail you, from staying focus and marching on to the Kingdom of God. Yeshua said in Luke 9:23, “If anyone wants to follow Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross every day, and follow Me”. You can overcome your troubles with ‘Jesus Christ -Yeshua, your Sword and only Weapon in spiritual warfare. Yeshua went further to assure as in in John 16:33 that, ”These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have shalom [Peace] .In the world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world!”. Brothers and sisters, Steadfast in prayer knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance as the book Jacob 1:3 said [also known as book of James]. GOD has commanded us in the book of Joshua 1:9 that, ”…Chazak! Be strong! Do not be terrified or dismayed, for Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”

Prayer

O’ Holy Spirit [Ruach ha-Kodesh] take my fear and give me more of your strength and endurance as I follow ADONAI – till thy kingdom come in Yeshua [Jesus Christ] name I pray. Amen

Spiritual Warfare Skill – Back to Basics

When you go to the market to buy food produce; do you buy everything you see at the first glance? With patience you check and only pick the best ‘fruits’ that are fresh and not rotten, rancid or mouldy. This must be applied in spiritual warfare; for is not everything you see around or hear related to religion are from our True God [ADONAI Elohim]- The enemy is very busy at work- Our Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ of Nazareth [Yeshua] has warned us in the book of Matthew 24:23-24 that, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here’s the Messiah,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and show great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen; HE went further to warn us in Matthew 7:15-20 that, “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes aren’t gathered from thorn bushes or figs from thistles, are they? Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the rotten tree produces bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will recognize them by their fruit [Love].

Paul the Apostle wrote in 1 Corinthians 11: 1 that, ”Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah”. The most important of all values as a soldier, is to be ready to learn from your commander; you can then be able to put into practice skills learnt – all other elements of soldiering is built on the application of basic skills. When you start a new job, School, University, or join any organization, you are given set of rules, guidance or procedures to follow. We all do everything possible to follow these, so we don’t loose our position, be ‘fired’ or get sacked. In physical warfare, often times you need to have easily accessible rules of engagement with the enemy. If you’re not prepared, you could be overwhelmed should you come under heavy artillery. The only standard guidance as soldiers of Yeshua is the Holy Scriptures, Bible– The basic instruction before we all leave this Earth one day. Do you read your bible everyday to be prepared for the spiritual warfare we face 24/7? The basic guidance and procedures for the salvation of your soul are all found in the Holy Scriptures. Some of these basic guidance are- strive to follow the Ten Commandments; have a forgiving heart; Love your neighbor as yourself; accept and believe that, Jesus Christ is the son of God and that, by HIS Blood shed on the cross you’re saved, being ‘Born From Above‘ with the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Repentance. Romans 3:23 tells us that, “for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.”

The Holy Scriptures says that, sin is violating the Ten Commandments—so why has the law been described as irrelevant and old-fashioned by many modern theologians? The simple answer is that the enemy is at work. Don’t be deceived. Most church leaders, Pastors and all the other self-titled leaders are leading so many people astray. The book of Jacob (Known as James) 1:17 tells us that, God, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. Malachi 3:6 also affirmed this, ”“For I am Adonai. I do not change, So you, children of Jacob (Israel), are not consumed and the book of Ecclesiastes 3:14, ‘place the icing on the cake’, this tells us that ”I know that everything that God does will endure forever. There is no adding to it or taking from it. God has made it so, that they will revere Him. Brothers and Sisters, Yeshua of Nazareth, our commander in chief in all our invisible and visible battles, spoke so much about Hell in the Besorah (The Good News) than any other topic. Why? The simple truth is that, Heaven and Hell exist. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is a well-known parable of Jesus appearing in the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31. In the parable, Jesus tells his audience – his disciples and some Pharisees – of the relationship, during life and after death, between an unnamed rich man and a poor beggar named Lazarus. The Good News in Matthew 25:41 is that, the everlasting fire was not created for me nor you, but for the devil and his angels. Who do you want to follow and obey, Jesus Christ of Nazareth or the World?

So, what happened to the sabbath day – which is few minutes before sunset on Friday evening until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night? This has since been observed by the Jews whilst in the dessert heading to the promise land (Israel) till this day; if this Law were to be changed, it would be reasonable to expect God Himself to announce it, and give reasons for its alteration don’t you think? Yeshua said in Matthew 5:17-18 that, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah [The Law of Moses] or the Prophets [Neviim]! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. Amen, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah until all things come to pass”. Yet for more than 2,000 years now, most believers have worshiped on Sunday. Why? The book of Daniel described a “little horn power” in Chapter 7:25-26 that, ”He will speak words against the Most High, and will continually harass the kedoshim [holy ones]of the Most High, and will try to change the appointed times and law. The kedoshim will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. But the court will sit and he will be stripped of his power to be destroyed and abolished for all time” . Apostle Paul made a similar prediction in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 that, “Let no one deceive you in any way, for the Day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one destined to be destroyed. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself that he is God.” Apostle Paul also warned us in the book of Acts 20:28-30 that, “Take care of yourselves and all the flock of which the Ruach ha-Kodesh [Holy Spirit] has made you overseers, to shepherd the community of God —which He obtained with the blood of His own. I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Even from among yourselves will arise men speaking perversions, to draw the disciples away after themselves.

About 100 years before Christianity, Egyptian Mithraists introduced the festival of Sunday, dedicated to worshiping the sun, into the Roman Empire. Later, as Christianity grew, church leaders wished to increase the numbers of the church. In order to make the gospel more attractive to non-Christians, pagan customs were incorporated into the church’s ceremonies. The custom of Sunday worship was welcomed by Christians who desired to differentiate themselves from the Jews, whom they despised because of the Jews’ rejection of Jesus Christ- Yeshua at the time. The Roman Emperor Constantine I, a ‘former sun-worshiper’, professed conversion to Christianity, though his subsequent actions suggest the “conversion” was more of a political move than a genuine heart change. Constantine named himself Bishop of the Church and enacted the first civil law regarding Sunday observance in A.D. 321. This Century, Pope Francis approved changes to words of Lord’s Prayer also known as the ‘Our Father’, Published June 6, 2019 by USA Today. Instead of saying, “Lead us not into temptation,” we will now say, “Do not let us fall into temptation, in his own words, ” this is because “It is not a good translation ,it speaks of a God who induces temptation”. A Loving Father doesn’t do that; a Father helps their child to get up immediately when they fall. It’s the enemy that leads us into temptation, that’s ‘his works’. Brothers and sisters, have you seen this change in your churches or publicly announced on Global News Networks? Did Yeshua -Jesus Christ actually say these words? The Lord’s Prayer comes from the Gospels in which Jesus taught his disciples the prayer. It is among the most sacred prayers in the World. The enemy with full control of ‘the World Order’ has been at work over several centuries, standardizing the way we worship God instead of being directed by the Holy Spirit. The enemy has been interpreting and changing God’s commandments in the Holy Scriptures over and over with different translations so that the truth is lost. Jesus Christ told Peter the disciple in Matthew 16:18 that, ”And I also tell you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My community ; and the gates of Sheol [Hell] will not overpower it.” Yeshua did not say a church, because we are the church [our hearts- GOD’s Temple], don’t be deceived.

Now you know the truth and the significance going back to the basics for your salvation. Don’t be fooled and deceived – seek the truth yourself by reading your the Holy Scriptures daily in Spirit [Heart]. Jesus Christ said in John 8:31-32, “Then Yeshua said to the Judeans who had trusted Him, “If you abide in My word, then you are truly My disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free!”. Follow the ten commandments and observe the sabbath. Make every effort to enter God’s rest and don’t fall through the same pattern of disobedience. Hebrews 4:9-10 say, ‘So there remains a Shabbat rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered God’s rest has also ceased from his own work, just as God did from His. Meditate on the Lord’s prayer daily for is a powerful medium thought by Yeshua. Don’t destroy your soul going around different places striving to learn how to pray and speak in tongues; or perhaps looking for ‘quick solution’ to your afflictions. But rather allow the Holy Spirit that lives in you to guide you to pray, because the devil also speaks in tongues and is ‘destructive’. Remember the promise in 1 Corinthians 3:16, ”Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that the Ruach Elohim [Spirit of God] dwells among you?” Yeshua said the whole commandments is summed up in this sentence in Luke 10:27, …, “You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” If you love God, you will follow HIS commandments.

Prayer Point

Oh, Holy spirit – lead my heart, so that, I don’t fall for things of this world, for when YOU bestow a blessing our Lord God, it is forever; Let Love Lead me in everything I do. Have mercy on me in Jesus Christ [Yeshua] name I pray. Amen

Spiritual Warfare Skill – No Fear

When you read the good old story when David, slays Goliath with sling and stone in the Holy Scriptures of, 1 Samuel 17, one of the first thing you notice is that, the Israelite Army including King Saul were ”dismayed and terrified” of the giant. Goliath started and ended each day with taunts up to forty days. As this continued, it demoralized and diminished the fighting capability of the Israelites. They began to believe in spite of their best efforts, something undesirable was going to happen to them i.e. their defeat. This is basically the definition of fear—the belief that something is out there is going to get you and that, you can’t do anything to stop it. Fear can manifest itself in many different ways— uncontrolled stress which manifests into anxiety then depression. Other ways includes nervousness, worry, dread, hopelessness, panic, insomnia, addiction to drugs ,alcohol and food. Fear which is spiritual can now affect your physical health and bring about problems such as chronic heartburn, unspecified skin rashes, bowel problems to name a few. These can spring up in your life from a variety of sources. Perhaps you experience fear as a result of the environment in which you were raised; you have been maltreated or abused physically or mentally, your family or and friends have made it look normal to be in fear; you feel like you’re left behind in life- all your friends are getting married and having children; the fear of getting old and cant have children; or perhaps you experience fear as a result of trying to conceal mistakes and imperfections in your life; you are ashamed of something you’ve done in the past, and you worry that one day it will be made public and brought to light; you experience fear as a result of trying to control too many things in your life or you realized that most things in your life are out of your control, and this makes you fearful about what will happen in the future.

Fear can get a foothold in your life and begin to dominate you. It can demoralize you and ultimately diminish God’s [ADONAI-Elohim] glory in your life. Fear can chew away your life, erode your sense of confidence, rob you of sleep, blind you and steal your praises to God. Fear is a relentless weapon the enemy uses to trap and connect you to himself. And it is one that must be broken through the power of Jesus Christ [Yeshua] our Commander in Chief. The solution to facing the giant of fear in your life is not by determination, but by faith in Yeshua [Jesus Christ]. It isn’t so much saying, “Fear, go away,” but confessing, “I have confidence that, Jesus Christ is bigger than this giant and has already defeated it.” In Romans 10:17, Paul states, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Messiah” . When you see and hear God in and through his Word, the Word allows you to see and hear that HE is bigger than your Fear. This builds up your faith, and your faith in turn becomes the ‘stone’ that drops the giant of fear in your life. David used the word by faith in 1 Samuel 17:45, ”Then David said to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with a sword, a spear and a javelin, but I am coming to you in the Name of Adonai-Tzva’ot, God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” . The Holy Scriptures tells us in John 1:1-18 that, the word became flesh and dwelt among us as Yeshua [Jesus Christ].

Brothers and sisters, identify the source of your fear and place it in the hands of Yeshua today. Remind yourself that with Adonai all things are possible; put your trust no man but God alone; you will be disappointed if you put your trust in mankind. Jesus Christ will overcome all your Fears; HE made a promise in the book of Matthew 19:26, And looking, Yeshua said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Money will not take away your fear; being content with what God has given you now, will bring Jesus Christ to the scene in times of trouble. Hebrews 13:5 reminds us that, ‘Keep your lifestyle free from the love of money, and be content with what you have. For God Himself has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you,”. Yeshua also gave us a significant advice about the troubles of life in Matthew 6:34, He said that, ”Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Before every battle, there is a briefing or speech by a commander to their troops, however you build courage to follow your leader into a war zone not by their persona but by their capabilities as a leader. Our Commander in Chief Yeshua, told us in the Holy Scriptures of Matthew 7:15-20 that, “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruit [LOVE]. Grapes aren’t gathered from thorn bushes or figs from thistles, are they? Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the rotten tree produces bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will recognize them by their fruit. Brothers and sisters, who do you spend your time listening to? Are they growing your faith or growing your fear? As a disciple of Yeshua, the opposite of fear isn’t courage but Faith in God. Yeshua our commander in chief said in Matthew 21:18-22 that, ‘faith in God can move mountains’- And whatever you ask in prayer, trusting, you shall receive. The Holy Scriptures reminds us in Joshua 1:9 that, ”Have I not commanded you? Chazak! Be strong! Do not be terrified or dismayed, for Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”

Take a moment Brothers and Sisters, and name what is keeping you up at night- grab a pen and write them down, and then offload those cares to the One who has promised to care for you. Cast all your worries on Him, for He cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7. Remember we are not like others- one of our weapons is Praise and Worship; they are so powerful in breaking any chain of fears attached to our lives. Don’t spend so much time listening to songs of this world and watching immoral television programs or be addicted to social media – these are currently the secret weapons the enemy is using to trap you with fear. ‘You no longer become content in life and want to be what you see and hear’. So, grab your sword which is Jesus Christ against ALL your fears and fill your mouth and heart with Praise and Worship to our God. You will begin to see God’s might, recognize his LOVE for you, and know that HE will always come through. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us that, ”Because of the mercies of Adonai we will not be consumed, for His compassion’s never fail. They are new every morning! Great is Your faithfulness”. if you have fear, simply put all your hopes onto our Lord Jesus Christ- YESHUA today and victory will be yours.

Prayer

I relegate fear to its proper place; into the hands of Jesus Christ- Yeshua today; Adonai, my Lord God is bigger than my fears and has overcome. Amen

Spiritual Warfare Skill – Repentance

We ALL sin in our thoughts, hearts [Spirit-God’s Temple], what we look at, what we say, do or continue to fail to do; these could be deliberate or unknown to ourselves. Is it pride, holding grudges, holding pain of the past- unforgiveness ,jealousy, hatred, accepting things of this world – such as ‘immoral relationships’ and ‘immoral wedlock’, watching pornography, indulge in masturbation, committed murder which includes ‘deliberate abortion’. The Holy Scriptures tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that, ”Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, those who practice homosexuality, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God”. May be you ‘talk too much’, have quick temper or anger, tell lies, show no love to people around you; self-declared pastor , evangelist or prophet for selfish reasons; modern day Idol worshiping– such as love for money, sex, Internet/technology addiction ,drug and alcoholism – idolising human, such as manager at work, pastors, priests, prophets, wife’s, husbands and even our children just to name a few. Isaiah 2:22 tells us that, Stop trusting in mere humans [mankind] , who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem? Repent and confess your sins or you will be overwhelmed in your ‘everyday battle’. Cleansing begins with confessing. The Bible also tells us in 1 John 1:8‭-‬10 that, ”If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. Brothers and sisters take a moment and identify your weakness by reflection after reading the Holy Scriptures according to, 1 Timothy 1:3-17.

Repentance is simply striving to stop or stay away from sin. Without repentance by confession, your sins will not be forgiven by ADONAI our Father in Heaven. Where there’s sin, the Holy Spirit is ‘grieved’, is like bad WIFI or internet connection. In a war zone, you need radios, satellite and various system’s to be able to communicate effectively with command and control. Brothers and sisters, how do you communicate [pray] -without connection [Holy Spirit] through our Messiah-Jesus Christ [Yeshua] to the Father ADONAI-Elohim [GOD] who has total Power, Command and Control over your life? Yeshua told us in John 16:7-8 that , … it is for our advantage HE returns to the God, the Holy Spirit [Ruach ha-Kodesh]- The Helper, will not come to us; but if HE goes, HE will send the Holy Spirit to us ; however, when Holy Spirit comes, He will convict the world about sin, righteousness and judgment. In a nutshell with bad connection or no connection to communicate in a battlefield one is in danger! Ephesians 4:30-32 also reminds us that, ”Do not grieve the Ruach ha-Kodesh of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness and rage and anger and quarreling and slander, along with all malice. Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other just as God in Messiah also forgave you.”

Our commander in chief Yeshua connects and communicate with us by the Holy Spirit in all our battles; It is written in John 14:26 that, ”But the Helper, the Ruach ha-Kodesh whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of everything that I said to you” . If your prayers fail to bear ‘fruit’ [answered], it might not only be because of the WILL of GOD; but due to the fact one is still living in sin and not doing anything about it. Matthew 3:8, tells us that, ”Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance”. Jesus Christ knows that we are ALL weak and ready to help if only we turn to HIM willingly with repentance. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that ‘no temptation has taken hold of you except what is common to mankind. But God is faithful; HE will not allow you be tempted beyond what you can handle. But with temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so you will be able to endure it”. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven by our Father Adonia Elohim [remember King David, Moses and others], so why are you listening to the enemy (satan) that, your sin’s can not be forgiven? If you find it difficult to repent of your sins due to association – ‘delete them off your phones right now’, keep these people at a distance and cut ties! – our commander in chief said in Matthew 5:30 that, “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell [Gehenna].

Personally, I struggled for years with the weakness of lust; I have tested repentance by doing all I could to stay away from fleshly desires; Yeshua saw all my efforts and reached out to Help me; by HIS abundant grace, He delivered me from the bondage of lust .With the abundant Love from Jesus Christ, HE ‘turned all my scars in my battles to Stars’. All you need is Trust, Believe and have Faith in our Lord Yeshua to come and rescue you. Repentance is playing our part where forgiveness is GOD’s reaction for our effort. God told Abraham my name is I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14- The God we serve is a God of Now, He Acts Now, He Forgives Now, He Delivers Now- So stay away from sin Now. Are your circumstances like hell right now? The simple answer is repent and stay connected with Jesus Christ- Yeshua the Messiah, for by HIS blood shed on the cross our sins are forgiven. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead we rose together with HIM in Victory. However, don’t be deceived that by HIS blood you have the licence to stay in sin or continue to sin. Judgment awaits one who deliberately continues to sin. You can only be victorious in the battles you face right now by staying connected with Jesus Christ [Yeshua] with the Help of Ruach ha-Kodesh; 1 Corinthians 2:16 tells us that for,“Who has known the mind of the Lord-ADONAI, that he will instruct him?” But we have the mind of Messiah-Our commander in Chief. Jesus Christ said in John 15:5 that, ‘ I am the vine; your are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me.

Prayer

Sin power over your life be broken as your spirit connects with the truth today in Jesus Christ [Yeshua] name I pray. Amen

Spiritual Warfare Skill – Humility

What changed angels into demons? The simple answer is Pride! Angels disobeyed the commands of GOD [ADONAI-Elohim], due to ‘invisible dark spirit of Pride‘. The Holy Scriptures tells us in the book of Revelation 12:7-9 that, ”And war broke out in heaven, Michael and his angels making war against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought, but they were not strong enough, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down—the ancient serpent, called the devil and satan, who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Don’t be deceived in this world and think there is no devil; satan and his demons are still active in this world striving to derail you from God’s Kingdom 24/7. Pride is an evil deed that comes from within and defiles a person. Our commander in chief Jesus Christ [Yeshua] warns us in Mark 7:20-23 that, …, “It is what comes out of the man that makes the man unholy. For from within, out of the heart of men, come evil intentions, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustfulness, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these evil things come from within and make the man unholy. ”Pride is the number one secret weapon the enemy uses to trap us to himself”. The enemy is then able to bring about afflictions and setbacks into our lives; that’s the reason why he was thrown out of heaven at the first place. ‘Anyone with pride is easily used as satan’s agent or ‘his catalyst’ in spiritual warfare.”

During my service as a soldier in the British Army; one of my many vivid experience was that, when a soldier shows disobedience, arrogance or pride, it affects the whole team within- this is sometimes called ‘morale‘. This can be detrimental and affect operational effectiveness on the battlefield. On most occasions, not only do the culprit gets punished after failing to obey commands or instructions but the whole team gets some form of disciplinary action to enforce command and control. My first experience of this was during an inspection of living area [Dormitory] by a superior in winter 2003, everyone’s items from lockers including mattresses and bed linens were thrown outside via windows. The simple reason was that an individual failed to live up to standards or expectations; and as a result, all of us have failed as team, to assist and support the individual. This did not make any sense and came across unfair after all the hard work put in, sometimes overnight or early hours of the morning. These involved ironing , boot polishing, cleaning, precise folding arrangements of personal belongings into wardrobes etc. Will you agree to an extent that, there will be no order or chain of command if this continues? There is order in Heaven Brothers and sisters; your afflictions from pride does not only affect you, but the closest people around- especially your family [take a moment to reflect].

You can never win your battles with pride, because you create a barrier between yourself and our Lord YESHUA- Jesus Christ of Nazareth. If you honestly believe or been told you have pride, repentance is the key to your breakthrough, or you end up talking to yourself when you pray or starve yourself for nothing when you fast. The Holy Scriptures tells us in Proverbs 16:18 that, Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. One of the deep secrets why children of God, find it difficult to ‘navigate’ from afflictions or setbacks, is due to lack direction, because we have rebelled just like the devil and his angels. GOD hates pride, because it reminds HIM of the rebellion in heaven. There is therefore, no Leader, no Power and Authority from Yeshua-Jesus Christ- the weapon for your ‘everyday spiritual warfare’. These may be setbacks in your finances relating to debts, health issues , infertility, family breakdown or conflicts, educational problems, suffering trauma from sexual harassment or an assault, setbacks in career and business just to name a few. Pride is a spiritual entity that connects you with darkness. Proverbs 11:2 tells us that, When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. From our commander in chief YESHUA, He said in Matthew 23:12 that, “Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

Pride will connect you to the devil, but humility will make you an angel and a soldier of Christ [Yeshua].

Prayer

Pray with me brothers and sisters – so Yeshua [Jesus Christ] will give us the grace to be humble, understand HIS commands and be broken away from the power of pride in our lives; in Yeshua [Jesus Christ] name I pray. Amen

The Battle Begins Now

Thanks for joining me!

When I willingly made the decision in my Spirit [Heart], to be ‘born from above’, for the Kingdom of God, as Yeshua [Jesus Christ] told Nicodemus in John 3:3; I thought ADONAI- Ro-eh [The Lord our Shepherd] will make me lie down in green pastures and lead me beside still waters just like the Psalmist highlighted in the book of Psalms 23:2. I had no idea embracing Yeshua as the captain of my salvation meant I was enlisting as a soldier in the army of God of ALL creations [ADONAI Elohim] as is written, in the Holy Scriptures of 2 Timothy 2:3.

I’ve since learnt in Matthew 10:34-36, that believers are soldiers and Jesus Christ did not come to bring peace [Shalom] but a sword. If you follow Yeshua , your father , daughter, mother, daughter-in-law , mother-in-law or anybody close to you can become your enemy and turn against you. HE went further to warn us that , man’s enemies will be the members of his household. I’ve discovered that we’re more than conquerors in Christ, which also tells me ungodly and unseen dark forces are trying to conquer us and stop us from entering God’s Kingdom.

Keep this truth in mind: the Holy Scriptures tells us in John 10:10 that, the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Every demon has the same mission; how they go about it – their strategies and tactics – are different. A spirit of fear attacks your faith, let’s take David and Goliath story as an example; while a spirit of rejection attacks your identity. The enemy is strategic; has a highly organized army, and able to send specific evil spirits against believers to derail them from their kingdom purpose [‘God given Destiny’].

My prayer for you brothers and sisters as you connect with me on this blog, is that, you will gain discernment to identify spirits opposing your life – and the lives of those you love – and develop spiritual battle skills to fight back. Spiritual bondage can manifest in many ways – our Spiritual Life, Health, Relationships, Marriage, Finances, Family, Education, Career and or Business – but the Good News is that victory is ours; by walking in our God-given authority, we can effectively face these challenges and win in spiritual warfare. The Holy Scriptures tells us in 1 John 5:4 [Tree of Life Version] that,” For everyone born of God [ADONAI Elohim] overcomes the world. And the victory that overcomes the world is- our faith”.
