I just watched the trailer of an excellent documentary about the pushback by ordinary citizens, doctors, etc., against the attempted hostile takeover of the globe that resulted in many lockups falsely termed lockdowns. Multiple academic researchers have captured the horrible effects of these mass lockdowns. The documentary was done by talented storytellers and told the truth but only a part of it. The major focus of this and other narratives is what happened naturally and physically with brave physical men and women on our planet. So why do I say that the truth in this documentary and others is only part truth? Well, because such narratives do not focus on the main protagonists and the main heroes who defeated these protagonists—to make the way easier for the ground forces or the natural men to do their part. The storytelling usually focuses on just what the natural men did with physical tools at their disposal.
Apostle Paul differentiates between natural men and spiritual men. Both live on our planet.
1Co 3:1-3 (AMPC)
1 HOWEVER, BRETHREN, I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as to nonspiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ [unable to talk yet!]
2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not yet strong enough [to be ready for it]; but even yet you are not strong enough [to be ready for it],
3 For you are still [unspiritual, having the nature] of the flesh [under the control of ordinary impulses]. For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?
There are changed men or a new creation who behave after a spiritual standard and unchanged men who behave after a human standard. Sadly some Christians fall into both categories though the Apostle wished that all Christians fell into the category of spiritual men.
THE GREAT PUSHBACK
In history, there have been a great many pushbacks, but in the telling of these pushbacks, many storytellers put the focus on what natural men did. Now there is nothing wrong with this because they are, in many cases, natural men themselves. I use men here with reference to both sexes. This is the way it is—in every army, there will always be the airforce (heavenly) and the ground forces (earthy). The airforce paves the way for the ground forces. In other words, there will be the air defence systems and the airforce (eagles or saints of God) who decimate the prince of the power of the air and his spiritual wickedness in high places—and then there will be the ground forces who make documentaries, doctors who fight, citizens who speak truth to power and take this action or that etc. But in the histories of men, not much mention is made of those who stopped the prince of the power of the air. Who is the prince of the power of the air? He is the spirit that constantly works in the sons of disobedience.
Eph 2:2 (AMPC) In which at one time you walked [habitually]. You were following the course and fashion of this world [were under the sway of the tendency of this present age], following the prince of the power of the air. [You were obedient to and under the control of] the [demon] spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience [the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God].
In other words, though many men were used to carry out great injustices against humanity, including during the past three years, they were all inspired by the spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience. No wonder Jesus said of his abusers— “… Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luk 23:34). They are many times being used by spirit beings. Notice it says this spirit is at work inside them.
Back to the battle. The spiritual giants (God’s Ecclesia) clear the way so the ground forces or natural men can fight. But first, the spiritual men “Fight the good fight of faith… (1Ti 6:12, KJV) using weapons that are not physical (2 Cor 10:3-4).
In the retelling of human histories, many usually leave out these heavenly forces (the role of spiritual men and the spiritual weapons they used to clear the way for ground forces to operate), but when God Almighty, who is all-knowing tells His Story (history) in His book, the Bible, He always includes them and even gives them a prominent place. Why?
BECAUSE without His children, there would have been no hope for the earth. And they shall preserve the earth with these spiritual weapons until they are taken out of the way.
2Th 2:7 (AMPC) For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way.
“Taken out of the way” is with reference to the rapture of God’s ecclesia from the earth. The scripture above shows us why we, as God’s children, should not focus first and foremost on physical warfare using physical or natural weapons such as changing policies, picketing, and elections which are, in most cases, selections, etc., but rather where the battle is hottest. We go straight to the root, which is in the spirit realm—where the true protagonists hide. This is far superior warfare. They hide, so all the focus is put on their physical human agents. Take out the human agents, and they will find another mule or puppet. This is why the Apostle teaches us that we do not fight flesh and blood in Eph 6:12-13. The focus must always be in the spiritual realm.
However, a person may be called by God to the physical realm though they are spiritual men. Examples include Daniel, Esther, King David and many others but all these men were first spiritual and won battles first in the spiritual realm before handling the physical. The prayers and fasting of Daniel released two arch angels to fight for Israel. Once when a man inspired by devils decided to exterminate the Jews—like some would like to depopulate the earth today, Queen Esther first dealt with the issue using prayer and fasting before ever using her political advantage with the King.
Est 4:16 (AMPC) Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast for me; and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I also and my maids will fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.
Esther was a true spiritual warrior worthy of emulation by all who seek to fight in the spirit battles of these last days. She did not say because I am in the palace and comfortable, I will not do what is right because it may cause me to perish. She fought the good fight spiritually and then went to the King because of her placement in the palace—all the while supported by the prayers of fasting of the saints.
If called to any of the physical acts and placements, please do your part but the primary function of His Ecclesia is stated clearly in multiple passages—We are His House of Prayer for All Ethnos.
Mar 11:17 (AMPC) And He taught and said to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have turned it into a den of robbers. [Isa 56:7; Jer 7:11]
Why a house of prayer? Because prayer is one of the most powerful spiritual weapons, we have been given by the Father to do our assignment. There are many kinds of prayer, but that is not the subject of this discourse. Prayer works all the time when done well, as stated in scripture.
Mat 21:13 (AMPC) He said to them, The Scripture says, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers. [Isa 56:7; Jer 7:11]
Another weapon is the truth that goes out through preaching and teaching God’s word.
1Ti 3:15 (KJV) But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
What does scripture say about truth? “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (Joh 8:32, KJV). Truth brings freedom and liberty. It’s a most powerful offensive weapon used for tearing down strongholds of darkness, which include: imaginations, arguments, theories, reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God, including any thought and purpose contrary to Christ.
A sample of the weapons at our disposal, therefore, include Prayer, Prophecy, Preaching, and Teaching of the Truth. Why was Prophecy added? Because Apostle Paul said, it’s a weapon. “This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare” (1Ti 1:18, NKJV). Prayer, Prophecy, Preaching, and Teaching of the Truth are non-carnal or non-physical weapons but massively effective—that destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). This is how our spiritual ancestors in Christ, preserved this world and how we, too, will preserve it.
2Co 10:3-5 (AMPC)
3 For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,
5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
IDENTIFYING THE REAL ENEMY
Eph 6:12-13 (KJV)
12 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.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
From the verses above, we see who the real enemy is. They are not human, and so you cannot fight them with human weapons or armor. These are the culprits who inspire their human agents with nefarious thoughts, arguments and theories such as the world is overpopulated and the majority of the global population needs to die by any means necessary. These are the spirit beings that inspire their human agents with thoughts of depopulation, transhumanism and eugenics. To fight these spiritual beings, you need spiritual armor and weapons that are not human or carnal. God gives His armor to His children like any good Father would do in seeking the protection of his beloved children. Eph 6 enumerates the full list of armor. Identify the real enemy and take the fight to them being fully suited up in God's armour, following sound scriptural guidance and the leading of the Holy Spirit—our Commander General (Romans 8:14).
2Co 6:7 (KJV) By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
Rom 13:12 (KJV) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Eph 6:11-13 (KJV)
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 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.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
So back to 2Co 10:5, what do we mean by strongholds being ideas, thoughts, arguments, theories etc.? Spiritual strongholds, like physical ones, are fortifications or structures built out of thoughts, ideas, theories, arguments etc., that these demonical spirit beings hide in as they battle against humanity using other humans. We have already stated some of such thoughts, such as eugenics and depopulation. Another such idea is, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”
DEFEATED ON TWO FRONTS—INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY
God is a faith God and works with faith to deploy His weapons. On the other hand, the Dragon, otherwise known as Satan or the Devil, works with fear. This is why all of their strategies deploy fear—whether it is artificial resource shortages, overpopulation hoax, or the most recent one, carbon emissions and net zero. They are all fear-based, and this fear they generate through fake media, false analysis and pseudo-science is their strength. However, this fear can be easily dismantled through spirit-led and spirit-filled accurate teaching and preaching of the truth—as stated in the Holy Scriptures.
Why Must We Never Entertain Fear Of The Dragon Or His Human Adherents?
2Ki 6:16-17 (KJV)
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
We do not fear because “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Heb 13:8). What God did for our predecessors, he does for us:
- They (the heavenly and angelic forces) that are with us are more than they (the demoniacal forces) that are with them and inspire them to do wickedness. We have the upper hand.
- Secondly, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (1Jn 4:4, KJV)
Pay attention to the tenses in the scriptural verses. It's past tense. We have already overcome them because of the victory of Christ and because of our faith in Christ and his finished work. All we need to do is take our positions in Christ and use the weapons at our disposal and resist the devil. What happens when we resist?
Jas 4:7 (KJV) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
God knows him and says he is a runner. Once you employ the weapons, he gets on the run. This is what happened with our spiritual forefathers, who preserved the earth using their spiritual weapons. The word used by the apostle for “flee” is G5343 | φεύγω | pheugō, and it means: to flee, take to flight, Mat 2:13; Mat 8:33; to shrink, stand fearfully aloof, 1Co 10:14; to make escape etc. This is what transpires with the spirit at work in the children of disobedience when we resist using our divinely empowered weapons. He is a runner. He takes flight.
Both internally and externally, we have them beat.
Never be afraid. We are on the winning side. When we are not taught right, we are weak and become fearful. But the great Apostle Paul said something monumental that should give every believer in Christ solace and confidence:
Rom 1:16 (KJV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
What did the Apostle say the Gospel or message of Christ is? It is the Power of God that produces salvation. Salvation here is sōtēria and it includes preservation and deliverance from the molestation of all enemies, spiritual and physical. The message we teach and preach does not contain the power. It is the power of God, says Apostle Paul. No wonder the scripture says, “And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.” (Joh 8:32, AMPC).
But this reality is only for those who are born again.
