The
devil can't be everywhere at once, so how does his strategy of assault
advance? Delegation. Get ready for a road-trip of discernment on this
episode of hearingGod...
I really want to sharpen
some spiritual swords in this message and get into the mindset of being
on the offensive instead of the church at large mentality of being only
on the defensive. The problem with this kind of teaching is that it's
got invisible spiritual dynamics that the church has been taught to
reject because 'it's weird' or whatever excuse... instead of testing
everything & retaining that which is good. A spiritually blinded
society tends to see the bad fruit, or the symptoms of the enemy's hand,
in the natural. If there is no one working offensively in a region,
you'll see devastation happen in the natural and any defensive church
constantly putting band-aides on a community. But it gets harder and
harder when the multitudes shout... "That's nice that Jesus loves me...
but why is this stuff happening if He 'loves us' so much?"
So how can we understand
this 'invisible' war waged against us? Since the devil can't be
everywhere at once he has to delegate. Look at history for a
clue...Kings, Nobles, Princes...go on down the line. Look at our
military for a clue...Generals, Captains, Sargents. It works the same
way, but again...not the devil, nor his fallen army can be everywhere at
once so if we can get the offensive hand in a region... in the natural
instead of destruction breaking out, we begin to see revival and the
glory of God open up.
So I was in a big
influential city recently. For those of you that live in one what I'm
about to speak of might start to make sense because of the experiences
you've had. If you live in a small town with not much going on... well,
let's think about this... ask yourself what makes sense. Where do you
suppose you would focus your firepower at if you were in a war? Would
it be a little town or would it be a big one where you could taint the
water supply and poison all the people? Think of the media and the
power to influence for good or power in poisoning. And in a big city
that the world looks to... aren't the decisions that come from them
one's that the world watches and emulate? Spiritually, you are not
going to have the same dynamics in a small town as you will in a big
city... spiritually, you are going to have more of everything...
opposition, more higher heavy hitters, more targeted agendas on the
enemy's front. Let's face it, it's really hard in those territories.
I encourage any person in a
small town to take a trip into an influential city and pray. Pray for
the saints in those areas. As you go from block to block, use the
experience to sharpen your discernment. In one block you might be
getting hit with intimidating thoughts, in another fear of accidents,
suicide... the list goes on and on. Realize that each of those
different spirits you discern is the ruler, the commander, the prince
and power of the air, in the enemies camp that influences that specific
area. In a really small city you might only have one covering the whole
thing. As you move through those areas as a visitor, don't fall into
the trap of taking on everything you discern... do as the Lord leads.
What is most important, as a visitor, is to use the experience to
sharpen your discernment and to intercede for those that God is trying
to raise up in that specific region. Sometimes you might have divine
appointments and meet warriors, so be alert to however the Lord guides.
Sometimes there's just not enough time, but whatever you do pray for
those hidden warriors. The assaults upon them are vicious and
relentless... they need your passing covering.
Pay attention to the
problems that surface in your locale, whether it be big or miniscule. I
originally come from a territory in which a spirit of competition
permeates the entire society. From sports, to the news, to churches and
how they behave, it is all under this spirit. Yes, even the churches!
So understand that when you pass through regions, the importance of
praying and covering others because the local people do not understand
the spiritual realm they succumb to-- the influence of that prince and
power. Jesus wasn't received in His own region... they were all
influenced by the dictate of the enemy in command there. That's why
it's so difficult for native people holding their own ground for the
Lord Jesus Christ. When you are under the dark cloud of the enemy your
entire life, you don't know any better... an infiltrated church attacks
those that try to destroy the evil rule over a city, for the enemy is
closest to his rival and focuses the most pressure and attention on his
adversary. It is satan's greatest pleasure to use those bearing the
banner of Jesus Christ to crucify each other. When a warrior realizes
that it's not the people or the church that is attacking them but the
reigning evil principality, you might hear this: "Forgive them Father,
for they know not what they do..."
As a traveler, (leaving
what you're constantly mentally and spiritually pounded with) you can
really begin to notice what the spirits are in other locales. This will
also help you to begin to overcome what is in your own locale, (if you
haven't discerned it already) as you alertly return. When you can begin
to understand how the dark cloud operates, you can begin to move on the
offensive. You can begin to shield the people you come in contact with
and cover their minds and actually begin to educate them in the
spiritual dynamics.
