Indeed, the enemy, is quite aware of the awakening that is being released on the earth, and has tried literally everything he can to hinder, stop or even slow what God is unleashing. Yet, it has been this very action that will only succeed in propelling the kingdom of God's advancement. His actions of evil will bring about the seismic awakening in the minds of men which he's tried to dull with his antics.
In fact, much of what he's done to keep this nation under control will be used against him for the glory of God and the ushering in of the government of heaven. No matter what he tries will work against him, because of the prayers of the saints. God is reacting to the cries of the intercessors all over the world. He will continue until He's reintroduced us to His Kingdom! It is truly the season of the CROSS and we will finally see its true power!
Please understand that evil is evil, but good can seem like evil if it is used to keep us from fighting the darkness that is trying to overtake us. If you will not turn away from the battle in the day of trouble, you will become a part of the greatest move of God the world has ever known. Indeed, you were called to fight with the man of war who is Jesus. (Ex. 15:3)
Heaven is at war and, as we are told in Colossians 3:2, we are to focus on the things of heaven. If heaven is at war, the effects we see in the natural are a symptom of that war. Satan, through rabid jealousy, thought he could take his Creator down and govern himself. What seems utterly delusional to you and I seemed like an actual possibility to him. He really thought he could conquer the Creator and so he waged a war against Him.
As children of God, we all have the elements of heaven living and breathing inside us. We walk around daily carrying the very thing satan is warring against. We are literally made in the image of God to carry His government inside of us. As Christians, we are filled with the glory of HEAVEN, yet surrounded by the war hell is waging on earth. Is it any wonder hell has targeted the church and the children of God? No. The church has been the assignment of darkness from the very beginning, yet much of the church thinks our purpose is peace. Yes, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but He is also the Man of War (Ex. 15:3). He's come to cast a fire on the earth, and we cannot have peace without His war.
What satan started was not God's plan; it was not a war of His making. Our Lord did not start this war, but He finished it on the CROSS. Our victory was accomplished the day He died and rose again. We, as Christ's followers, have been given the responsibility and duty to administrate the conveyance of the government of heaven to the earth. Our great commission has never changed, though we may not always consider it, it is the advancement of God's take over, His conditions for peace (Mt. 28:18-20).
If you study history, you know that the failed treaty of Versailles was man's way of bringing peace, of trying to force evil to be good by the means of man. But God will now show you His way of peace.
All the enemy can do is copy what God does to make it seem that evil is good and good is evil. Do not fear men. The Fear of Man is a snare, but it is God our Father who deserves to be the focus of our pleasure. Do you desire to please God or do you fear the disapproval of men? Those caught in darkness understand that God exists, but they've lost all fear of Him. Not only do they not want to please God, they are at war with Him. That is what God means when He says, "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom," (Pr. 9:10; Pr. 1:7)
Satan has come to kill steal and destroy, but be of good cheer. Our LORD has OVERCOME THE WORLD! (Jn. 10:10; Jn. 16:33) Our heavenly Father has the right to govern mankind, because He first created us and then again sent His Son to save us (Jn. 3:16). He is our true Ruler and we will need to choose who we will serve: God or satan? (Joshua 24:20) Do you want to rebel against the Lordship of God and govern yourself or will you surrender to the King of kings and Lord of lords? Because to the pure, He shows Himself pure, but to the wicked, He is hostile, (Ps. 18:26).
Satan has created a kingdom of his own in which he is attempting to govern the earth. He has created his own rituals of power and worship of evil. Indeed, it is difficult for us, as children of the Light, to even conceive of such dark things, yet we must war against what has been brought to us. It is evil, but good is much greater than evil. Even as we persist in doing good, we are victorious over evil.
Walk boldly in increased vision and trust in Him. He is truly worthy of your trust.
You are a bold, unstoppable, kingdom warrior!
Fear nothing - trust God!
This is only the beginning!
