NATURAL PARALLELS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Here are the natural principles of warfare that are parallels of spiritual battle:

THE DEFINITION OF WAR:
A simple definition of war in the natural world is “an act of force intended to compel our opponent to fulfill our will.” This definition is applicable also in the spiritual world. Satan is constantly using the forces of evil to compel you to fulfill his will.

A WARTIME LIFESTYLE:
When a nation is at war, the life-style of that nation is affected. Men give up their jobs to fight for their nation. They spend hours in preparation and training. Funds are drawn from the economy to aid in the battle. Residents are alert to invasion and extra guards are posted at national borders.
In the spiritual world many believers are totally unaware of the warfare raging around them and have not adopted a wartime lifestyle. Church fellowships plan programs and parties but they do not have a battle plan.

THE OBJECTIVE OF WAR:
The main objective of warfare in the natural world is victory over the enemy. This is also the main objective in the spiritual world. To achieve victory in natural warfare, there are many short-range objectives that must be met. Individual battles must be won and separate territories claimed. Each of these individual battles contribute to the final goal of victory.

BASIC TRAINING:
Knowing the objectives for war is not enough. A soldier must receive basic training on how to achieve these objectives. In the natural world this training includes learning about the enemy, his tactics, how to use the weapons of warfare, and the battle plan.
In the spiritual world believers often enter the battlefield without this basic training. They do not understand the tactics of the enemy. They are not aware of their spiritual weapons and how to use them and they have not studied the battle plan (God’s written Word).

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. (II Timothy 2:3-4)

PROPAGANDA:
Enemy nations always spread false propaganda (information) about each other. Satan also injects false propaganda into your mind if you allow it. You will learn more about this when you study “The Battle In The Mind” in Chapter Fifteen.

DIPLOMATIC PROPOSALS:
One of the strategies of nations at war is to weaken the enemy by diplomatic proposals. These are suggestions of compromise. Through such proposals each nation tries to gain advantage over the other. In spiritual warfare, Satan attempts to make believers compromise with sin. He knows such “diplomacy” will result in spiritual weakness.

INTELLIGENCE:
When nations are at war, there is always an intricate organization of intelligence. Each side has intelligence forces dedicated to gathering information about the other. The intelligence forces collect and analyze all available information on the enemy. They communicate what they have learned to the soldiers engaged in combat.
In spiritual warfare your knowledge of the enemy and his tactics are vital to victory.

OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE WARFARE:
Armies in the natural world use both offensive and defensive strategies. As you have learned, offensive warfare is an aggressive advance against an enemy. Defensive warfare is when the enemy attacks and you must defend your territory.

WEAPONS:
In every war there are weapons which are used. They may be simple weapons such as a spear or bow and arrow, or they may be complex weapons such as a missile system. The soldier must know what weapons are available for use and how to use them. Some weapons are specifically designed for defensive warfare while others are for offensive warfare.
This is also true in the spiritual world. 

SURPRISE ATTACKS:
Terrorism, sabotage, and ambush are all surprise attacks and are methods used by natural armies at war. These methods have two things in common: First, they are violent offensive methods. Second, they all have an element of surprise. The target at which such assaults are directed is caught unawares and is unprepared. Confusion and defeat usually result.

DECISIVE BATTLES:
In every war there are “decisive battles.” These are battles which determine the outcome of the entire war. Decisive battles are important because of the territory involved in the fight. If an army wins control of a certain strategic territory he can gain control of surrounding territories. In spiritual warfare there are also decisive battles. For example, if you fail in the battle of the mind and tongue it will affect your soul, spirit, heart, and possibly your entire body.

COMMUNICATION:
Communication is very important in natural warfare. The troops must be able to communicate with their commander to receive instructions and encouragement. The enemy will try to sever communication between the front line troops and their leader, knowing this will result in failure on the battlefield.
In spiritual warfare, Satan wants to destroy your lines of communication.

TARGETS:
In warfare in the natural world there are two kinds of targets: Moving targets (such as a boat, airplane, tank, or troops) and stationary targets (such as a weapons depository, troop headquarters, etc.). The moving targets are the greatest threat in natural warfare because they are offensive. They are on the move to conquer territory.

ATTACKS AND COUNTERATTACKS:
In natural warfare when one side attacks, the other side counterattacks. A counterattack is an attempt to stop enemy forces from advancing and to regain lost territory. Satan counterattacks every offensive move made by believers. When you decide to pray more, read the Word of God, or enter a ministry, he will immediately stage a counterattack to prevent you from advancing. If you are aware of this strategy of counterattack you will be prepared and not caught off guard.

MOBILITY:
In order to be effective in natural warfare, an army must be mobile. The forces must be able to move to the place where offensive action is to be taken. If they are trapped and held immobile by the enemy, they are ineffective.
Mobility is a requirement in the spiritual world if you are to carry out the orders to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel.”

COOPERATION:
War is a team effort. Soldiers must cooperate with one another in their effort to defeat the enemy. They must come under the direction of one commander. They move forward as a united front. They do not fight in their own name, but on behalf and in the name of their country.
Believers must learn to cooperate in the arena of spiritual warfare. Instead of fighting each other, we need to concentrate our attack against the enemy.

OBEDIENCE:
A soldier on the battlefield in the natural world does not do as he pleases. He follows orders from the commander. Total obedience is required. There is nothing in war of greater importance than obedience.

COURAGE:
A great general in the natural world once said, “If you are afraid of being shot at, you are whipped before you start…Fear kills more people than death.” Do not fear failure in spiritual warfare. If you are afraid of being shot at by the enemy, you are defeated before you start.

CONQUERING THE LEADERSHIP:
One important general frequently expressed his personal wish that he could fight the highest enemy leader and the victor of the personal fight would settle the war. This has already been done in the spiritual realm by our Commander.

COMMITMENT:

In speaking about commitment, a famous general said: “We are lucky people. We are at war! We have a chance to fight and die for something. Many people never get that chance. Think of all those poor people you know that have lived and died for nothing…Total lives spent doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and going to work…”

Is the Day of the Lord approaching for America?

Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck

Revelation 8:8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 

Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck


Revelation 8:10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

The Pacific Ocean accounts for one third of the seas; are we witnessing the fulfillment of The Revelation? Watch the latest update.

Folks we may be closer than you think, be ready and seek the Lord!

Are You at Your Wits' End? Broken and Derelict in All Your Ways? Beyond Hope and Recovery? Think Again!

Remember your first home? It had to be portable because you moved around a lot and occasionally received unwelcome visitors.

Your second home was beautiful when you finished building it so what happened in the last twenty years for it to wind up in this state. Is repair an option or should we just discard and burn it?

How did it get this way? Did you neglect something or someone? It's falling down, trash has collected all around it, even the temporary patches have big holes in them.

Ah you didn't take care of it, made no real repairs and just added a band-aid in attempts to stop the leaks.

You probably spent more time chasing dreams than you did building a good foundation under your second home. You also got distracted to greener pastures when minor repairs were needed so they just didn't get done. 

I would say you lost sight of your first and second love but you haven't quite gone down for the third time as they say for those who are drowning.

These two homes remind me of many people I have known over the years; I see myself in these pictures as well, in fact we have probably all been there at some point in our lives.

Have you done anything to change it? Have you given up and reached the point of going under for the third time? 

Many homes and many lives look like the second home pictured above, some fall down and are burned while others get transformed. Those that rely only on their own abilities need to stop for a moment and realize that those human abilities got you to the point of falling down and being burned.

So how have some been transformed?  

Psalm 107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29 He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.

The transformation comes through the Lord when they have repented of their sin and cried out to Him. 

In an instant He can transform home number two into home number three below. 

Find that peace and safety, cry out to Him now and be transformed! He loves you and desires that none should perish but that all would be saved.

Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Call on Him right now. Accept His invitation while there is still time.

A Word from The Lord - It Has Begun! California Women Developing Brain Aneurysms - 3 DEAD 1 Paralyzed

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

Matthew 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Pestilences

• FUKUSHIMA RADIATION POISONING 
• THE GULF COAST OIL SPILL

Are people being impacted by these two pestilences? YES, but the news media won't report it.

• Birth defects
• Brain Aneurysms
• Cesium 137 caused heart attacks
• Food chain poisoned - seafood - dairy - beef and poultry

The list goes on and those who choose to ignore it and the ramifications on life itself do so at their own peril. For example look at 'Atomic Surfing'.

Is surfing safe?

The question of safety was raised and answered by Oregon State University Extension Service.

Post-Fukushima Atomic Surfing? Will I Gulp and Glow?

Q:
I surf regularly along the northern Oregon coast. In light of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, has any recent / regular testing been completed to see if the water is safe to surf in? Some of us are out there for extended periods of time and may even accidentally gulp down some seawater during wipeouts. A lot of conversation and articles I have read seem to focus on bio-accumulation issues for seafood consumers. It would be good to get information out to the surfing community. 
- Tillamook County, Oregon
A:

There has been so much conflicting information about radiation; it makes sense to wonder if the radiation from Fukushima is problem in our ocean waters or seafood here in Oregon. At this time, you should not be concerned surfing or eating tuna. Radiation breaks down in the water and is diluted, so while the waters directly near Fukushima are of concern, radiation experts are not worried about the West Coast.

I find this answer amazing when you have reports of starfish melting and dead fish and mammals washing up on the beaches.

Steve Quayle Alerts received the following report and word from the Lord yesterday. 

California women developing brain aneurysms-3 DEAD IN LAST 2 MONTHS ONE PARALYZED

Steve, my wife and I attended the WSR conference and she was baptized by you and Pastor Lankford. On July 4 she collapsed with multiple ruptured brain aneurysms, followed by a massive stroke. She is only 33 with no medical history or prior symptoms. She is alive but severely disabled now, we have two small children. The reason I'm telling you all this is that since my wife's incident, 3 other women that we are friends with have had the same thing and died. In the last two months. Their ages are 22-40. None with pre existing conditions or symptoms. We all live in the bay area of California and I'm wondering if this is being caused by fukishima radiation or chemtrails??? Have you heard of any other incidents like this? Until my wife, I had never met anyone with a brain aneurysm, now 3 of our close friends are dead and my wife is struggling to survive. Coincidence? I don't think so.
John---- FROM ROMY--STEVE,IT IS NO COINCIDENCE,...AS I READ THIS THIS THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE TO ME AND SAID THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND IT IS A DIRECT RESULT OF FUKUSHIMA AND NUCLEAR WASTE THAT HAVE REACHED THE WEST COAST! HIS WIFE AND THEIR THREE FRIENDS WHO DIED FROM THE SAME CONDITION HAVE BEEN QUIETLY POISONED BY WHAT HAS COME UPON THEM, BUT THE DOCTORS HAVE BEEN WARNED NEVER TO SHARE OR TIE THESE INCIDENCES TOGETHER OR IT WILL COST THEM THEIR JOBS AND REPUTATIONS! I GOT THIS IMMEDIATELY FROM THE LORD AS I READ JOHN'S EMAIL! 

THE VERY AIR IS POISONED AS IS THE OCEAN AND ALL SEA LIFE. THEY MUST ALL BEGIN TO LEAVE THOSE AREAS AND FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS. IT HAS BEGUN TO SHOW UP AND PEOPLE WILL
PUT IT TOGETHER EVEN AS JOHN DID! THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE, THE DAYS HAVE ARRIVED. CHILDREN ARE BEING BORN WITH CANCERS AND DEFORMITIES AND STILLBORN, W/O THYROIDS AND BRAINS! I JUST WOKE FROM A DREAM/VISION THAT TOOK PLACE WITH STILL ASLEEP FRIENDS WHO ACTUALLY DO LIVE ALONG THE COAST IN PACIFIC PALISADES AND WE WERE THERE TO HELP PLOT OUT ON A MAP WHERE IT WOULD BE SAFEST TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE HIGHEST AREAS OF RADIATION!!!! 


THIS MAN HAS HEARD CLEARLY FROM THE LORD ABOUT THE EXACT THING THAT HAS FELLED HIS YOUNG WIFE AND KILLED THREE OF THEIR FRIENDS! This is "NO COINCIDENCE"!!!! (Read More)

As for me and my household I will believe the Lord whom I serve!

If you live along the coastlines of America you really need to hear from the Lord regarding staying in place or fleeing to the mountains. Are you sure you are where the Lord wants you?
