The Bible did not keep us ignorant of the spiritual BATTLE that is fiercely and forcefully WAGED by Satan, Demons and his Human Agents (Witches and Wizards) against each of us in Christ in this World. True! However, I discovered that majority of genuine Christians have knowingly or unknowingly choose to be ignorant to the REALITY and PRACTICALITY of this spiritual BATTLE that is fiercely and forcefully waging against us in Christ in this World. So Sad, so bad!
And FROM the days of John the Baptist UNTIL NOW the Kingdom of Heaven (the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit of Christ) suffers VIOLENCE (satanic, demonic and witchcraft attacks), and the VIOLENT (the ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit of Christ) take it by FORCE. (Matthew 11: 12; 1 John 5:18-21; Ephesians 5:15-18).
Therefore, the Bible reveals to us thus:
We know that whosoever is BORN of GOD sins not; but he that is begotten of God KEEPS himself, and that WICKED one TOUCHES him not. And we know that we are of God, and the WHOLE WORLD lies in WICKEDNESS. And we know that the Son of God is come, and had GIVEN us an UNDERSTANDING, that we may KNOW Him that is TRUE, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, KEEP yourselves from IDOLS (demons). Amen. (1 John 5: 18-21; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Ephesians 5:15-20).
If you truly and genuinely have the KINGDOM of HEAVEN or GOD (the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit of Christ) within you in this World, you are ANOINTED. Yes, you are ANOINTED because you carrying the ANOINTING (the Holy Spirit of Christ) within you. Therefore, as revealed by the above scriptural verse, the Devil, Demons and his human agents (Witches and Wizards) will fiercely and forcefully come against you to KILL, to STEAL and to DESTROY everything (Life and Light) of God in Christ in you and for you in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Luke 17:21-23; Romans 8:1-28; John 10:1-10; 1 Peter 5:6-10; 1 John 2:27).
However, always remember that GREATER is HE (the Holy Spirit of Christ) that is in you than he (Satan) that is in the World that is fiercely and forcefully coming against you to DECEIVE, DEVOUR and DESTRUCT you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 John 4:1-4; 2 Timothy 1:7).
Now, let it be known to you today that one of the primary aim of Jesus Christ coming to this World to pay the price of your sin was to BAPTISED you with His HOLY SPIRIT (Power) and FIRE, so that you can become the SON of GOD who has divine POWER to overcome SIN and every attacks and activities of the DEVIL, DEMONS and DEMONIZED HUMANS (WITCHES and WIZARDS) that will fiercely and forcefully come against you to kill, to steal and to destroy everything (Life and Light) of God in Christ in you and for you in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (John 1:1-12; Matthew 28:18).
Therefore, the Bible reveals to us that Jesus Christ came to baptised us thus:
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that COMES after me is MIGHTIER than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall BAPTIZE you with the HOLY GHOST, and with FIRE: Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (Matthew: 3. 11,12; John 1:12).
Therefore, Jesus Christ after His resurrection told His disciples and us His disciples today thus:
For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be BAPTIZED with the HOLY GHOST not many days hence. When they therefore were come together, they asked of Him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And He said unto them, it is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father had put in his own power. But you shall RECEIVE POWER, after that the HOLY GHOST is come UPON you: and you shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:5-8; Acts 2:1-4; Mark 9:1).
Now, don't be deceived because NO ONE can truly be a genuine WITNESS for Christ in this World without receiving the divine POWER that comes by the HOLY SPIRIT coming UPON him or her in Christ in this World at a particular time and occasionally par situation. No one! True! Take note, take heed!
That is why the Bible counsels us thus to stay away from anyone that is RELIGIOUS in nature, but denying divine POWER:
Having a FORM of GODLINESS, but DENYING the POWER thereof: from such TURN AWAY. (2 Timothy 3:5; Matthew: 22. 29; Daniel 11:38 ; Philippians 3:10,11).
Jesus Christ will never SEND anyone out to REPRESENT Him without FIRST giving them divine POWER over unholy or unclean spirits. This is because Jesus Christ understood the DANGER of sending people out into the World without first giving them divine POWER over the Devil, Demons and his Human Agents (Witches and Wizards). Unfortunately and ignorantly His Church today does that everyday. People are sent out for evangelism and other spiritual activities without checking them out by DISCERNMENT and making sure they have receive the necessary divine POWER to overcome unclean spirits that will be around to oppose them in their mission. I am sorry to say, today leadership positions in the Church are ignorantly given to witches and wizards as it was with the Church in Thyatira recorded in Revelation 2:18-29. I know what I am saying because I have personally being involved and practically dealt with this unfortunate trend in the Body of Christ. So sad, so bad!
Concerning Jesus Christ, the Bible reveals to us thus:
And He called unto Him the twelve, and began to SEND them forth by two and two; and GAVE them POWER over unclean spirits. (Mark 6:7; Luke 9:1).
Also,
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the DEVILS are SUBJECT unto US through your name. And He said unto them, I beheld SATAN as lightning FALL from Heaven. Behold, I GIVE unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the POWER of the ENEMY: and NOTHING shall by any means HURT you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because YOUR NAMES are WRITTEN in Heaven. (Luke 10:17-20).
Likewise, the early Church disciples of Jesus Christ never sent out or appointed people into leadership positions without making sure they are filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and with POWER as revealed thus:
Wherefore, brethren, look you out among you seven men of honest report, FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST and wisdom, whom we may APPOINT over this business. Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. And Stephen, FULL of FAITH and POWER, did great wonders and miracles among the people. (Acts 6:3,6,8).
JESUS CHRIST Himself never operated in this wicked World without divine POWER as revealed thus:
How GOD anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY GHOST and with POWER: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38).
Likewise, the early Church disciples did not operate in Christ in this wicked World without divine POWER as revealed thus:
And with great POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. (Acts 4: 33; Acts 1:8; Acts 2).
Therefore, don't be deceived because you will NOT be able to OPERATE in Christ in this World without you receiving and operating par time with divine POWER in and upon you every now and then when satanic driven situation arises. True! Take note, take heed!
Now, know and note that the early Church disciples of Jesus Christ where able to OVERCOME and TAKE OVER cities for Christ by the divine POWER they possessed par time par the situation at hand. That is why they able to take away a city from the hold of Simon the sorcerer who had been bewitching the people of the city and he was thereafter requesting for their divine POWER by money as revealed thus:
And there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man, called SIMON, which before time in the same city used SORCERY, and BEWITCHED the PEOPLE of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: to whom they ALL gave heed, from the LEAST to the GREATEST, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of LONG TIME he had BEWITCHED them with SORCERIES. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the KINGDOM of GOD, and the NAME of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then SIMON himself BELIEVED also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and WONDERED, beholding the MIRACLES and SIGNS which were done. And when Simon saw that through LAYING on of the APOSTLES' HANDS the HOLY GHOST was GIVEN, he offered them MONEY, saying, GIVE ME also THIS POWER, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, your MONEY PERISH with you, because you had thought that the GIFT of GOD may be PURCHASED with MONEY. You had neither part nor lot in this matter: for your HEART is NOT RIGHT in the SIGHT of GOD. REPENT therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven you. For I perceive that you art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Then answered Simon, and said, Pray you to the Lord for me, that none of these things which you have spoken come upon me. (Acts 8: 8-13,18-24).
Unfortunately today, it is we Christians that are over the local and international news seeking POWER from strange persons and places. What a shame! I weep for my generation's kind of Christianity practice in this World. I weep! Oh Lord, help us and let there be REVIVAL quickly in Jesus name, Amen.
So, don't be deceived because if you DO NOT consciously and consistently SEEK to receive and operate with the divine POWER of the Holy Spirit of Christ, IN and UPON in this World, you will knowingly or unknowingly SEEK strange POWER from strange PERSONS, strange PLACES and strange PRACTICES because of life challenges like many are ignorantly and shameful doing today. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Samuel 2:1-10).
Now, you must know and note that it is:
1. Only the GOSPEL of CHRIST is the POWER of GOD unto any form of SALVATION (freedom) in this World. No other! True! Be it salvation (freedom) from sin, Satan, Demons, Witches and Wizards, oppression, opposition, poverty, sickness, addiction, homosexuality, etc.
This is why Apostle Paul boldly declared thus:
For I am NOT ashamed of the GOSPEL of CHRIST: for it is the POWER of GOD unto SALVATION to every one that BELIEVES; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD revealed from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH. (Romans 1:16,17).
Take note, take heed!
2. Only Jesus Christ can give you POWER to become the SONS and DAUGHTERS of God who supernaturally and naturally overcome ALL obstacles and oppositions to become ALL that God has designed and ordained in Christ for you in this World. No other! True!
This is why the Bible reveals to us thus:
But as MANY as RECEIVED Him, to them GAVE He POWER to become the SONS of GOD, even to them that believe on his name: Which were BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD. (John 1:12).
This is so because the Bible reveals to us thus:
But unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the POWER of God, and the WISDOM of God. Halleluyah! (1 Corinthians 1:24).
3. Only the Holy Spirit of Christ carries the divine POWER of GOD for any form of FREEDOM needed in this World. No other! True! Be it freedom from sin, Satan, Demons, Witches and Wizards, oppression, opposition, poverty, sickness, addiction, homosexuality, etc.
This is why the Bible reveals to us thus:
Now the LORD is that SPIRIT: and where the SPIRIT of the LORD is, there is LIBERTY. (2 Corinthians 3:17).
4. Only when your FAITH is STANDING on the POWER of GOD that your faith can produce divine RESULTS in Christ for you in this World. No other! True!
This is why Apostle Paul said to us thus:
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came NOT with EXCELLENCY of SPEECH or of wisdom, declaring unto you the TESTIMONY of GOD. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And MY SPEECH and MY PREACHING was NOT with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in DEMONSTRATION of the SPIRIT and of POWER: That YOUR FAITH should NOT STAND in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of GOD. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5).
Take note, take heed because we see NO much divine RESULTS in our lives, families, churches and nations today because majority of our FAITH are unfortunately STANDING in the WISDOM of MEN and of EXCELLENCY of SPEECHES of men and not on the POWER of GOD like that of Apostle Paul stated above. So sad, so bad!
5. Only by the WORD of TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS, the POWER of GOD is revealed and released to make one FREE in Christ in this World. No other! True!
This is why Jesus Christ revealed to us thus:
Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on Him, If you CONTINUE in my WORD, then are you my DISCIPLES indeed; And you shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE. If the SON therefore shall MAKE you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed. (John: 8. 31,32,36; John 15).
Also,
By the WORD of TRUTH, by the POWER of GOD, by the ARMOUR of RIGHTEOUSNESSon the right hand and on the left. (2 Corinthians 6:7; Ephesians 6:10-18).
Take note, take heed!
6. Only when we are WEAK before God in HUMILITY, REPENTANCE, HOLINESS, SUBMISSION, OBEDIENCE, PRAYER and FASTING in our time of needs, tests, trials and challenges, will we receive STRENGTH and POWER of Christ to OVERCOME and BECOME all God has designed and ordained in Christ for us par time par our situation in this World. No other! True!
That is why Apostle Paul revealed to us thus:
And LEST I should be EXALTED above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, LEST I should be EXALTED above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, MY GRACE is SUFFICIENT for thee: for MY STRENGTH is made PERFECT in WEAKNESS. Most gladly therefore will I rather GLORY in MY INFIRMITIES, that the POWER of CHRIST may REST upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Luke 4:1-21; 1 Corinthians 1:24-31; James 4:6-10; James 1:2-8).
Also,
For though He was CRUCIFIED through WEAKNESS, yet He LIVES by the POWER of GOD. For we also are WEAK in Him, but we shall LIVE with Him by the POWER of GOD toward you. (2 Corinthians 13:4; Philippians 4:13).
7. And much more....
Finally, you must understand and operate with a consciousness and consistency knowing that the KINGDOM of GOD in Christ in this World is NOT in word, but in POWER as revealed by Apostle Paul below:
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, NOT the speech of them which are PUFFED UP, but the POWER. For the Kingdom of God is NOT in WORD, but in POWER. (1 Corinthians 4:19,20).
This is because we WRESTLE against satanic, demonic and human PRINCIPALITIES, POWERS, RULERS and SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS that DO NOT want us to MANIFEST and FULFILL our individual DIVINE DESTINY (Life Purpose) in Christ in this World and to make heaven at last as revealed thus:
Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the LORD, and in the POWER of His MIGHT. PUT on the WHOLE armour of God, that you may be ABLE to STAND against the wiles of the devil. 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. (Ephesians 6:10-12; Colossians 2:8-15).
Even more importantly is that you should know and always be conscious that you have a TREASURE (Holy Spirit of Christ who is the Presence and Power of God) within you in this World, so that the divine POWER of GOD can manifest IN, UPON and THROUGH you in Christ in this World to produce divine RESULTS and not your own human POWER that cannot defeat the Devil or produce divine results in Christ in this World as revealed thus:
But we have this TREASURE in Earthen Vessels, that the EXCELLENCY of the POWER may be of GOD, and not of us. (2 Corinthians 4:7; 1 Samuel 2:1-10).
And this is why the Bible reveals to us thus:
Now unto Him that is ABLE to do exceeding abundantly ABOVE all that we ASK or THINK, according to the POWER that WORKS in us. (Ephesians 3:20).
This is why Apostle Paul counselled Timothy and us thus:
Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you STIR UP the GIFT of GOD, which is in you by the putting on of my hands. For God has NOT given us the SPIRIT of FEAR; but of POWER, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:6,7).
Therefore, you have to LEARN how to HEAR the Holy Spirit of Christ within you, LEARN to STUDY the Word of God by His inspiration, LEARN to co-operate with God by His help during the period of the trying and testing of your faith, LEARN to PRAY and FAST by His prompting, LEARN to FOLLOW His guidance and leadership and much more to INVOKE (stir up) the POWER of GOD that is WITIN you in Christ in this World and also LEARN to PROVOKE (stir down) the POWER of GOD UOON you in Christ par time par your situation to OVERCOME and get divine RESULTS in Christ par time par your situation in this World. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 John 2:27; James 1:2-8; Romans 8:14,26-28).
So, you don't need to FEAR at any time because of the threats and attacks of the Devil, Demons and his Human Agents (Witches and Wizards) against you. This is because as the Bible reveals to us in 2 Timothy 1:7 above, GOD has given you the SPIRIT of POWER of Christ already by the Holy Spirit of Christ within you in this World, but you need to INVOKE and PROVOKE His activities and actions in your life and situation par time by MEDITATING, CONFESSING (with praying and with fasting as well) and DOING the Word of God in HOLINESS and in FAITH as inspired by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in Christ in this World par time par your situation. (Joshua 1:8).
The truth to be told, Apostle Paul's desire in Philippians 3:10,11 below should be every genuine Christian's DESIRE and PURSUIT in Christ in this World because without the divine POWER IN, UPON and THROUGH us in Christ in this World, each of us is POWERLESS against our spiritual and physical enemies in this World. That is, POWERLESS to OVERCOME the Devil, Demons and his Human Agents (Witches and Wizards) and to BECOME all God has designed and ordained for us to receive and achieve in Christ for Him in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
That I may KNOW Him, and the POWER of His resurrection, and the FELLOWSHIP of His sufferings, being made COMFORMABLE unto his death; If by any means I might ATTAIN unto the RESURRECTION of the dead. (Philippians: 3. 10,11; 1 Samuel 2:1-10; Zachariah 4:5-10; Daniel 11:32).
Therefore, don't be deceived, you need and will always need divine POWER to overcome ALL other powers of the enemy of your SOUL and SUCCESS in Christ in this World. True! You need and will need the divine POWER that comes by knowing, believing and practicing spiritual EXERCISES of God in Christ (Meditating the Word of God, praying and confessing the Word of God, fasting as instructed, living in holiness, etc) to ENCOUNTER (enter) and EXPERIENCE (enjoy) divine REST and BEST in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Matthew 17:14-21; Mark 9:14-29)
You can! Don't always look for others to do it for you. You can also. Yes, you can! If Apostle Paul can boldly declared that he CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENED him then, then you in Christ now can also experience that. True! Take note, take heed! (Philippians 4:13).
May your weekend be full with the manifestations of divine POWER in Christ in Jesus name.
God bless you.
