“We are living in a deceptive place, dear ones. What you are seeing and hearing has been altered from reality. This fallen material world we were born into has deceived us. It now is much more apparent that Satan is truly the god of this present world system, as the Bible says.
We see it everywhere. It is now blatant and glaring at us. All kinds of evil is manifesting in our day. The more evil manifests, the more deception manifests. Who and what is the constant enemy to Satan and the world system that he is god over? Jesus and His believers!
Christians (real ones) are the constant enemies that the demons want to get out of their way. We believers are a constant reminder to Satan and the demons that they are defeated! Jesus whipped them all! And, He gave His victory over the devil and his demons to every believer! And, it is Jesus that is in every believer on earth! Unfortunately, most do not realize who they really are in Christ!
Does the devil and the demons hate us? That is a gross understatement! They loath and utterly despise us with a depth of hate we can not comprehend. We are a constant reminder to them of their soon coming eternal destiny. They already are judged by God! They know! They are terrified of it!
We believers have authority over them in the scope of our authority. Remember, in the world there are other people’s wills that are involved also. People can yield to the demons or they can resist them. Yes, even unbelievers do not have to do what demons want. And, some unbelievers cannot be swayed by the demons if they have a strong will.
But, demons are tricky. Sly and calculating. They observe us. Trying to figure a way to deceive us into doing what they want. I know that we are protected by God. All believers should know this. If we did not have the angels around us, we would have to constantly deal with demons often–and be in battle mode all the time. So, the angels keep most of them at bay. I’m so thankful.
Also, dealing with demons personally takes away and distracts us from what we should be doing in the will of God on earth. So, thank God for the angels that keep our area cleared out around us where we are. So that we don’t have to think about the enemy all the time. Thank God for our angels! They are many! They are ours! They are mighty and loyal to us! We have no shortage of angels in our Kingdom. We have plenty for us and our families. They are ministering spirits sent by God to minister for those who are heirs of salvation! That’s us!
Did you notice that they are sent to minister FOR us? For! In our behalf. We can send them on certain missions in the will of God. They will listen to our words if we are speaking in line with God’s Words to do the will of God. They are here for the purpose of assisting us doing God’s will in our lives. So, in all of their functions, they are helping us in the spirit realm AND the natural realm.
But, this is an evil place. We must be aware! We must always endeavor to be led by the Holy Spirit within us where ever we go and what we get involved with. Because, without His leadership, we can be walking into traps set by the enemy completely unaware.
Demons set traps, my friend. So, we cannot take for granted where we go and what we do. We must look to the Lord inside. Listen, this is important: You and I cannot go against the leading of the Lord inside and expect everything to turn out okay. If He is warning us not to do something, we had better take heed and don’t do it. We should look inside for His okay and clearance.
We cannot expect God to protect us when we disobey His leading! There are devils out here and all kinds of calamities to hurt us and our families. Satan is the god of this world system–which means there are things that he can do to set traps for us. The Lord knows this. And He abides within to lead us around the pitfalls and evil plans the demons have set for us in the matrix.
It must be frustrating to the demons. They spend all kinds of time and effort to set up a trap for us, and we hear from the Lord, and just go or do it another way or another time, etc. Foiling their evil plans. And, as we’re following Jesus, we don’t even know that we were in danger. We just go on in His direction not realizing at all those evil plans we by-passed. How amazing Jesus is!
Our angels help also. They are all around our house and street. They are around our car, etc. We are safe because of them. Because we are where we are supposed to be doing the will of God. We have a protective covering around us as we give God our lives to guide and control. He is responsible for us. And, we look to Him for our present and future.
It is He that supplies all of our needs. The people in the world all seek for stuff. Believers learn to seek first the Kingdom and our Lord’s will, and we still get the stuff added to us by God. Remember, believers are not of this world. We’ve been born into another Kingdom not made with human hands. Eternal in the heavens.
The reality is, we are simultaneously in 2 realms. The spirit realm is the real eternal realm. This material realm is the fallen and deceptive place we also are temporarily residing. While we believers abide in the natural fallen realm, (because, our bodies are fallen also), we abide in the Kingdom with God because of Jesus in our spirit.
So, if we are living in reality, we will understand that the spirit realm is the real eternal realm. And, we are here in these fallen bodies now with a new mission to reach people who need Jesus!” KF KenFletcher.org
