How To Be Sure You Are Warring With God, Not Against Him
Whatever you war against in the Spirit will manifest in the natural. If you war alongside, with, God, you will sacrificially love the people God is trying to save. You will spend your strength forgiving, blessing, believing, hoping, enduring. You won't war against flesh and blood, but against Satan and his scheme to get you out of love.
Because Satan presents himself as an angel of light, and has been at this a long time, man is easily drawn into the wrong war. This is one of the main points of Ephesians. The humble take this seriously.
If you war against God, you will protect and empower yourself and fight the people God is trying to save. You will unknowingly be drawn into fighting people thinking you are serving God.John 16:1-3 NKJV — “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. “They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. “And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.
This is what Ephesus is guilty of in Revelation 2.
Revelation 2:1-5 NKJV — “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; “and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. “Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.
If Ephesus refuses to repent, she cannot be saved.
Without love, you are on the wrong side of the Power. Antichrist counterfeits the power of God... Convincing himself he IS God. That is the spirit resisting the church, not the world.
Know the nature of the war. Know your own nature, and you will start to see the schemes of Satan.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 NKJV — Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
