The Art of War

 

The art of war is to study ones enemy, if we are serious about winning the battle. We also need to understand the rules of engagement. When playing a game of chess each piece has their specific moves. A pawn can only ever move a certain way and so on. Mankind is incapable of defeating the enemy without the correct assistance. The natural can never conquer the spiritual, it is impossible, and yet the enemy has tricked us into believing that it is imaginable. This is the devil’s greatest achievement. In casual discussion how many people believe, that we will get to heaven if our good deeds out way the bad? This is a trap that millions if not billions have embraced with open arms.

 

Let me squash that in its tracks…

 

And God said; “Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:5-6) 

 

To try and enter the kingdom of God/heaven through the carnal gate is nothing more than a trap skillfully laid by the enemy. Our spiritual activation button has to be initialized in order for us to have any chance of getting into heaven. Without it, we have no chance of arriving. The only question you need to ask and answer, is do you believe the Lord Jesus’ statement to be true or not? If not, you have and are still playing into the hands of the enemy. And you are doomed to his fate, which is the Lake of Fire; “and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Revelation 20:10) 

 

So how do you avoid this trap? You need your spirit to be activated. Think on it like this. After a computer download, although you have the specific program file on your hard drive, it remains ineffective until you initialize it. No differently to every human being who has a soul/spirit housed within themselves, activation is required. If not, it remains ensnared in the enemy’s hands. IT NEEDS INITIALIZING!

 

How is this done? The “Born Again Button” needs triggering, it’s rather simple actually, and I tell you the truth, I am not lying, here is the solution; “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)  - In other words, when simplified, if through repentance, you seek God’s forgiveness for your sin, when you call upon the Lord Jesus with sincerity, acknowledging your sin before God, this is when your spirit is activated and your eyes are opened through the gateway called “faith”; God gifts us with the ability to see into the spiritual world. It is a gift from God. This the narrow gate spoken of in scripture.

 

These are the facts, what you now do with them is entirely up to you…
