JESUS SPOKE those 3 Words while upon the Cross (Jn. 19:30). The time had come for a change! By and through His “giving up the ghost” (spirit), He opened up THE WAY for eternal salvation for both Jews and Gentiles.
Jesus’ sufferings and the agonies in providing redemption for LOST/FALLEN humanity were finally over. He suffered rejection and hatred by His very own people (Jews), the “religious” being the biggest enemy. He had borne the rejection, punishment, and now, death for the sins of the world…opening THE WAY of salvation for ALL (Matt. 27:50; Lk. 23:46). He voluntarily gave His life over to death, thus going back into the Spirit to His Father in Heaven. Thus began the Militant/Aggressive Army of Believers—Believers filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5; 2:1-4). This army was UNDER COMMAND: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them…I have commanded you” (Mt. 28:19, 20). This army of Spirit-filled Believers were so militant and aggressive that it was reported that, “these that have turned the world upside down are come hither also” (Acts 17:6, to Thessalonica). That was an ALARM put forth by unbelieving Jews (v. 5), nevertheless, it was a true report. This “army” was a “Miracle Army,” not like the religious dumb-dumbs of that day that could not heal or cast out a devil, and certainly could not raise the dead!
The World!
THE WORD “WORLD” simply means “inhabited earth,” and here it also means the whole of the Roman Empire—a hyperbole (like that of Lk. 2:1). The anti-Believers went about, at the prompting of the envious Jews, “and set all the city on an uproar” (Acts 17:5). When was the last time (or first) you saw this happen when a preacher or evangelist came to your town? HA! Never!
2000’s A.D.
HISTORY HAS a record of the ups and downs of Biblical Christianity. I’m not writing about history, but about how the militant/aggressive army of Believers that were commissioned/commanded by the Risen Jesus, is hardly to be found in today’s world. Oh, no, we’ve got all these sissy-la-las (called “men”) and all these Jezebelian “ladies” (so-called) here…too many queer!! What a disgrace to the fallen race who NEED Jesus, and NEED the infilling of the Holy Ghost (or Spirit) and FIRE! They are so FULL of the WORLD, that there is NO ROOM for Christ.
It is Finished!
THE SPIRIT has spoken, “It is finished!” to us lately, meaning that He is finished pleading with the Church that has gone a whoring. They will not hear His Words to REPENT!! HIS ATTENTION WILL NOW BE TURNED TO THOSE WHO WILL HEAR AND REPENT. Out of these He will form-up/troop-up a new breed of Believers—just as He did when ancient Israel refused to repent (Only a tiny minority out of Judaism were redeemed. Those who did TURN were spared, the rest is history)!
Service of Sin
THOSE WHO REFUSE the calling of the Holy Spirit today will remain in the service of sin. Sin is a devouring BEAST intent upon nothing but our RUIN. Today’s backslidden/reprobate people called “Christian” will remain in Satan’s service without a thought of escape. Some think upon “freedom,” but make no attempt to escape, hence falling deeper into perdition.
The black ravens of Hell call out “Cross, Cross, tomorrow, tomorrow.” But the Spirit is calling “Today, today!” Prompt obedience, YES, prompt obedience is the only remedy for sinfulness.
Sign Up!!!
TODAY!!! Leave the sinful civilian life and join God’s militant/aggressive army: “therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (2 Tim. 2:3). Here, Paul does not hesitate to use this military metaphor (a loyal servant of Christ, see also 1 Cor. 9:7, 2 Cor. 10:3; 1 Tim. 1:18; 1 Tim. 4:7; 1 Tim. 6:12). Paul goes on to write, “If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him; if we deny Him, he also will deny us” (2 Tim. 2:12). That word “suffer” in Greek means “endure” (Hupomeno). Those who persevere and remain steadfast in the (Christian) faith to THE END! shall live (v. 11; Matt. 10:22; 24:13) and reign with Christ, our Commander-in-Chief (2 Tim. 4:18; Rev. 20:4).
Stand Down!!!
HUMBLE YOURSELF! Rid yourself of pride and rebellion; rid yourself of vice and embrace virtue. Learn, therefore, to love the difficulties which attend the attainment of all virtues— “no pain, no gain!” In heated (spiritual) combat, let your resolution be to bear your Cross patiently, courageously. How many have I seen fall away during combat. Cowards! Our malignant foe—FEAR, rejoices! Our cowardliness should be our repugnance. To avoid disgrace, resolve to FIGHT manfully and masterfully. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. The cunning adversary knows our weakness…strengthen that weakness! Remember Isaiah 40:28-31.
Fret or Fight?
TOO MANY, and I’ve been guilty, fret after some unattained honor. We see ourselves BIGGER than we really are, hence, we do not attain victory or victories because we wanted the glory. Our pride and vanity causes us to “eat it.” WHILE BATTLE FATIGUE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR FAILINGS, OUR PRIDE AND VANITY ARE THE REAL FOES. Remember, Christ is the Captain of our salvation; we’re merely soldiers under command.
Actually, the “carnal beast” (that part of us that has not fully surrendered to His Headship/Captaincy) is a malicious enemy. Mark him/her. This inner warfare is as real as the outer. The battle-field is just as real. As one in outer-combat entrenches himself in battle, entrench thyself firmly within the bunker of Biblical Truth, and suffer not thyself to be called out till the battle-cry: CHARGE!!! is sounded! Snipers love suckers.
Because…
THE CHURCH (for the most part) has refused to repent of their worldliness (most are under the Fed. gov. 501c3), which is a slap in the face of Christ—who is supposed to be the Head of the body of Christ! Making the pagan U.S. government our “head” not the Way. We all know, at least we ought to, that the U.S. gov. is ruled/controlled by (anti-Christ) Political Correctness. Why should any born-again Believer want to have PCism as their head?
Besides This…
AS ALREADY STATED, God is NOW raising up His militant/aggressive army that will contend against the BEAST that rules this land. The Church can go on and play Church, a new breed of Believers will arise!
The Christians, who were and are supposed to be the “Watchmen,” have stopped watching. The Church has fallen into adultery with the world in the great forbidden LOVE AFFAIR (see 1 John 2:15, 16).
Have You Heard the Battle Cry?
WELL, it’s been sounding loud and clear for years.
So, what are you going to do now? Wait for another “false flag” operation to take place so more of your FREEDOMS will be taken out?
Eyes, But Can’t See
JESUS TOLD the “religious” of His day that they had eyes (natural) but couldn’t see (spiritually). So it is today.
AT WAR Against the BIG 4
WHILE THE CHURCH plays Church, God is raising up His mighty army to deal with the BIG 4, which constitute a vast multitude of demon spirits, and are highly organized into a systematized EMPIRE of PURE EVIL with rank and order. Most believers are sadly ignorant of how Satan and his “demon forces” operate…as we can see by the pathetic state the Church is in!
Ephesians 6:12 uses the word “wrestle,” a Greek word pale, from pallo, meaning to throw, to swing, a contest between two until one hurls the other down, and holds him down. Needless to say, we know who has been thrown down—the untrained believers!!! But all this is about to change.
The world is used to hearing about wars and seeing wars…BUT they are yet to see Spirit-Warfare/Angel-Warfare.
Unless the “Believers” get off their lazy behinds and get to the frontlines, the devil will rule. We’ve got to recognize the historic patterns of DECEPTION that satan uses. As Sun Tzu once said, “All warfare is based on deception.” Get right with God and go to SPIRITUAL WAR!
