Hello and welcome, my fellow Gods, to another epic article series wherein which we discuss one of the most epic concepts in the scriptures—warfare in the celestial realm. This article series will attempt to be short and sweet so hang on to your Dunamis and let’s dive right in.

SERIES INTRODUCTION

So throughout everything we’ve discussed so far, one might wonder what the scriptures refer to when speaking about our contending against evil spirits and Satan. Cause the scriptures definitely do make it seem that we are at war against Satan and his kingdom so then what are our weapons? How do we use the weapons? How does warfare work within the celestial realm?

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God…”—2 Corinthians 10:4

This portion of scriptures makes it very clear that we are engaged in a warfare and informs us that the weapons we use are not carnal but are spiritual weapons applied through God.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”—Ephesians 6:12

This portion of scriptures shows how that in this warfare that we are engaged in, our foes are not humans, or other physical beings. Rather, they are angelic beings from the kingdom of darkness. We will take a look at how such battles are fought with actual examples and how we can participate to win all the time.

The first thing I would like to mention, as always, is that if you haven’t read some of my earlier articles on who and what a Christian really is then I urge you to do so before proceeding with this otherwise a lot of these concepts might be a bit elusive to you.

Secondly, I would like to mention as well that I do have a planned article series on the celestial hierarchy where I go over the types of spirits and entities that exist in creation from the lowest class in terms of power, angels, to the highest class in terms of everything, i.e., us and God. So, bear with me if I gloss over some seemingly important concepts as we go on along with this article.

So, then let’s begin with how warfare works in the celestial realm.

Let’s take one of my favorite examples from the Old Testament. To set the background of this story, Elisha, the prophet who inherited the mantle from Elijah, was the reigning prophet at the time. At that time, there was a notorious king of Aram who waged war against Israel and always attempted to ambush the king of Israel but was always unable to because each time he would set up an ambush secretly for the king of Israel, Elisha would tell the king of Israel that the king of Aram had laid a trap for him at this exact place and the king of Israel would always avoid ambush that way. This angered the king of Aram so the big guy decided to call all his officers to find out who was whistleblowing to Elisha and selling them out cause clearly their secret information must have been leaking out somewhere for the king of Israel to always one-up them like that. Until one of the officers told him that there’s a legend of a prophet named Elisha who is so legendary that he tells the king of Israel the things that the king of Aram discusses and plans in his bedroom. How epic is that? So, long story short, the king of Aram sent a whole army to capture Elisha who was in some town somewhere with his servant and this is where our reading starts,

“Then he sent horses and chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city.

When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. ‘Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?’ the servant asked.

‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’

And Elisha prayed, ‘Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.’ Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, ‘Strike this army with blindness.’ So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.

Elisha told them, ‘This is not the road and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are looking for.’ And he led them to Samaria.

After they entered the city, Elisha said, ‘Lord, open the eyes of these men so they can see.’ Then the Lord opened their eyes and they looked, and there they were, inside Samaria.

When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, ‘Shall I kill them, my father? Shall I kill them?’

‘Do not kill them,’ he answered. ‘Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink and then go back to their master.’

So he prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. So the bands from Aram stopped raiding Israel’s territory.”—2 Kings 6:15-23 (NIV)

Several striking things in that story excerpt. First, observe how Elisha was always aware of the horses and chariots of fire around them so much so that the first thing he prayed for was for his servant’s eyes to be opened so that he sees what’s up. How epic is that? Second, observe Elisha’s statement when he says,

“Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.“

He didn’t say they that are with us are more than them. He says there are spiritual forces that came together with that army that came to arrest Elisha. But he mentions that the army surrounding Elisha are greater in number than the ones that are with the army from Aram. What kind of battle do you think this is going to be? It’s going to be a spiritual battel. Some angels will be bound, others will be captured and locked up somewhere for who knows how long.

Third, observe how he won against them. He had a whole army around him but instead of calling fire like Elijah once did to consume the bones of his enemies at once, he used an aspect of that spiritual army’s power to simply cast blindness on the army from Aram. Then he led them into being capture, reopened their eyes, fed them, and sent them their way. Anti-climactic as it might seem, you can’t deny that’s a frightening power to have: to strike a whole army with instant blindness and open their eyes at will.

Let’s look at another example from the scriptures before we get defining how celestial warfare operates. I would rather spare you the scripture reading and explain the story in summary but its important to get into the habit of reading the scripture so let’s have a quick read at this story about one of Elijah’s exploits,

“After Ahab’s death, Moab rebelled against Israel.

Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury.”

But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’

Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’” So Elijah went.

When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”

“A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”

The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”

They replied, “He had a garment of hair and had a leather belt around his waist.”

The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”

Then he sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”

Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.

At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”

“If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life and the lives of these fifty men, your servants!

See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!”

The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.”—2 Kings 1:1-15

Look at this flex from Elijah. Let’s break this down quickly before we get to one more example. First, the reason we started with Elisha’s story is to show you how that these prophets always had an army of horses and chariots of fire around them thus, each time they spoke or acted or flexed authority, they had the spiritual backing of these otherworldly entities. When Elijah spoke for fire to come down and consume these men, what caused the fire to rain down were these spiritual entities. Second, to further prove this was how that after the third captain of the army that came to capture Elijah begged for his life, notice how the scriptures record that an angel spoke to Elijah telling him to do so and so which proves that even in the times before and times after, he always had an ear listening in to the advice and voice of angels around him.

Let’s look at one final example before we get explaining. Notice how in the first two examples, we see the exercise of celestial power from the human perspective. In this next example, we’ll look at it from the celestial side so we understand how this really works.

To set the background, King Solomon was a legend prior to this point. God loved this man and God blessed this man insanely with wisdom and everything. This story really breaks my heart. Until this point, there was only ever God as the only true God that Israel worshipped and had within its kingdom… until this point. This is the point that changed everything.

“King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites.”—1 Kings 11:1

Notice Solomon started marrying women from kingdoms that God regarded philistines. The reason God called them so is because these kingdoms and nations were known for their worship of other gods—which were just demons and fallen angels, in reality. Let’s carry on,

“They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love.

He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites.

So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.

On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites.

He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.”—1 Kings 11:2-8

I’m going to stop here for a moment so I can take a few minutes to cry a little. See what this man decides to do. From worshipping the Lord God to worshipping demons and evil spirits all because of his wives. Exactly as God had warned would happen. Solomon turned from worshipping God to worshipping demons and evil spirits—all while in Jerusalem. Now, this might not seem like it had any immediate effect but let me break down what happened before we continue to read on:

Recall how in the previous stories we read, Israel was surrounded by horses and chariots of fire? Those were the spiritual army of Israel sent to them by God himself. An army so huge it was countless. The reason such was able to happen is because God was the “entity”/spirit that was invited into the kingdom of Israel thus, His presence and influence was what surrounded Israel. And the direct consequence of this influence of God was that an army of angels dedicated to the protection of Israel was always guarding the kingdom because God’s influence was constantly manifested within the kingdom. Whenever the Israelites offered sacrifice, God accepted the incense from the sacrifice and responded by manifesting his influence within Israel as often as they sacrificed. That’s how spirits work, and yes, including God Himself. You have to invite the spirit into and/or around you through some form of sacrifice for “it” to manifest in or around you. What made Israel so special was that they sacrificed to God whereas many other nations sacrificed to demons. Thus, the natural consequence was that Israel invited God’s influence constantly whereas the other nations invited the influence of demons constantly.

With this in mind, consider the consequence of Solomon’s actions. This is the troubling this about this story, outwardly, it was just Solomon bringing in idols and statues and alters into the kingdom. But all these idols he invited had demons in them so what Solomon actually did by doing this was bringing demons into Israel. This is exactly what Satan wanted. Once these demons were in Israel, they’re the ones that began to run things.

Always have this in mind, angels, demons, and even God always require man’s invitation and cooperation to function within the earth. That’s the law for spirits—they do not function in this physical dimension without physical bodies so they either use humans in cooperation in the case of angels and God, possession in the case of demon, or trickery in the case of Satan.

For instance, Satan always wanted to destroy Israel and he did try multiple times before. But he had to incite David and Solomon to act first in order to provide the necessary invitation for him to carry out his works.

This is why Christians pray for other people and nations. Because for Satan or evil spirits to act or carry out their works means they are in collusion with someone in authority in that place. So, in each of these cases, you wouldn’t just be dealing with a Satanic power, you need to first prevail against the human covenants established between that entity and whichever human it is that’s in collusion.

With all this in mind, let’s define how warfare works in the celestial realm.

HOW CELESTIAL BEINGS OPERATE IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD

In order to understand how celestial warfare works, we first need to understand how spirits work and the effect that they have on creatures in this physical world. I’ll be honest, I’ve been wanting to get to this topic for such a long time because we finally graduate to a higher level of discussion from everything, we’ve been dealing with so let’s dive right in.

Spirits work in the form of influences. That is to say that spirits manifest in this physical world in the form of what we call or regard as influences. Before we move into a few examples, let’s look at scripture more directly so we have a basis for our claim.

“For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit (Greek: pneuma), have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed”—1 Corinthians 3:5

In this reading, Paul makes mention of how he was present with them in “spirit”. The Greek word used there is the word “pneuma” which directly translates to “wind” or “influence” and is often used to signify “spirits” in the Bible. So, why did Paul qualify his “spirit” to be comparable to the “wind”? Let’s look at one more scripture quickly,

“And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit (Greek: pneuma) which he hath given us.”—1 John 3:24

In this verse, John refers to the Holy Spirit as “pneuma”. So, the question is why did the New Testament authors use the word “wind” to describe spirits whether of God, of man, or of angels or even Satan himself? Why “wind”? The answer is because that’s the characteristic that spirits possess. That characteristic of the wind to fill everywhere in general but can also be condensed to fully manifest in one single place more intensely than in other places—that’s what the authors meant when referring to spirits as “wind”. They weren’t saying every spirit is wind, rather that they bare the characteristic of the wind in this physical realm. The easiest way to understand it is that spirits manifest in this physical world in the form of influences and wind is an influence. Now, I’ll leave this to your imagination on what other influences you can think of other than wind, gravity, and light.

Let’s look at some proof real quick,

In 1 Kings 8, Solomon had finally finished the construction of the temple that he was to build for God and after he did so, he called the priests to bring the ark of the covenant so it could finally rest in its place for the first time. In this procession, the priests performed their priest-y duties but what happened is that God’s presence manifested in such an intense way that it filled the whole temple so much that the priests couldn’t even continue. Observe in verse 10 how the Holy Spirit manifested in the temple for the first time,

“When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord.

And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.”—1 Kings 8:10-11

God manifested in the form of a cloud i.e., an influence of the wind. Let’s take a look at another example.

“We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away.”—2 Corinthians 3:13

To give a background on what Paul was referring to here, Moses when he went to collect the commandments from God, spent 40 days and nights in God’s presence. I don’t know about you, but that seems a little bit to too long to simply listen to 10 commandments and engrave them into stone tablets. So, the question is what was Moses doing there for all that time? He was meditating on them. He was doing what Joshua 1:8 tells where he meditated on these 10 commandments so much so that they formed his consciousness. That’s why when he spoke to Israel about them, he said these words where their life. The man spent that long meditating this in God’s physical presence such that once he descended down from that mountain, there was so much glory shining from his face that the children of Israel couldn’t even look at his face because bro was literally glowing. Who wouldn’t be spooked by that? And from that point onward, Moses had to wear a veil over his face like a very pwetty bride walking down the isle all the time whenever he went out to meet them.

That’s what Paul is referring to here that we have that glory inside of us. This is another influence—light. God’s glory manifested in the form of light.

I could go on to define for you what other ways spirits manifest into the physical world but I’m sure you get it by now. I’ll cover this topic more in the Celestial Hierarchy series soon so bear with me. Just know that spirits manifest in this physical world in the form of influences—wind, light, gravity, magnetism, feelings/emotions, intuitions, anything that could be regarded as an “influence” in this entire reality is the consequence or effect of a spirit having manifested. Good luck seeing your world the same ever again.

With this in mind, consider grace and what we discussed it to be earlier. You have it within you which means you exude grace. You, as a spirit that functions within this world, manifest grace by nature. When you stop repressing the celestial side of your nature and instead embrace it, you will begin to exude all these things that you are until each time you show up, the physical realm responds. Nature responds to you when you arrive anywhere physically. That’s all grace—we talked about it. See how it works?

Similarly with Satan and demons, when they manifest its in the form of influences. And the easiest way to identify them is think of a good influence (e.g., pleasant feelings/emotions, smells/aromas, influences, forces, etc.) and then invert them into their polar opposites. To be more precise, you as a divine entity manifest joy which is an extremely pleasant feeling and emotion, correct? So, when you arrive somewhere, people feel the happiness and gladness and joy you exude as a result of that grace. When Satan manifests, it’s the extreme opposite of joy i.e., misery, depression, etc. So, when you feel either of these emotions, don’t be fooled even in the slightest, they are demons having manifested in your life and you need to kick them out otherwise they will never leave. Repugnant smells are another example of demons having manifested in a physical place. I’m sure you get the idea.

Now that we know how spirits operate in this physical world, we can finally discuss how warfare works.

HOW CELESTIAL POWERS WORK

In the light of casual observation, spirits wouldn’t present as much of a threat if all they do is manifest in the form of influences, right? Wrong! You must have forgotten that light, gravity, magnetism, etc., are all influence which means they are direct manifestations of spiritual beings.

What you call light is the result of the manifestation of a spiritual being. What do you think the name Gabriel means? Gabriel is an angel called the god of light! There are different angels we find in the scriptures named Gabriel, one of them being a messenger angel, and depending on which texts you reference, he’s also an angel in charge of the very concept of light from the sun that lands on earth but that’s a story for another day, trust me. Anyway, throughout the entire scriptures, whenever a divine being manifested, what was always said to have followed was an extremely bright light (like when Jesus manifested to Paul for the first time which resulted in him falling blind), or an intense emotion that paralyzed John in Revelations 1.

That’s how come Elijah was able to send fire down from heaven to consume those first two small armies that came up against him—because both the fire that consumed them (in the form of plasma) and the gravity that caused the fire to rain down are both influences. Because angels were in direct charge of each of these influences as pointed out by Elisha that they had fully manifested around Israel citing that the horses and chariots were of fire.

That’s how Elisha was also able to blind these soldiers that came up against him—because what causes blindness is either extreme brightness or the complete absence of light (it’s obviously more complicated than that from the perspective of anatomy but this isn’t the time for getting into specifics).

That’s how Jesus was able to levitate when he was ascending to heaven—because gravity is an influence.

That’s how Jesus was also able to walk on water—because what keeps atoms together are strong and weak nuclear forces which are influences. So, the more closely they bond, the denser the mass and vice versa.

In each of these cases, spirits had direct control over each of these forces and influences and thus these humans that functioned in this physical world had direct influence over these forces.

YOUR STATE IN THE CELESTIAL REALM

We, as Christians, function very differently from how prophets of the Old Testament functioned. They spoke to angels and God to do something for them whereas we are the ones that do things and cause them to happen. For instance, when Elijah called fire to rain down on those men, he was directing angels to act. Same thing with Elisha; in each of those cases, angels were given direct instructions and they caused things to happen.

Jesus wasn’t like that. Jesus walked on water—there was no angel involved. He deliberately and consciously hardened the water for him to be able to walk on. When he casting out demons, or created blind eyes from nothing, he wasn’t calling angels to do anything. He was the one performing each of these miracles. So, the question is what set Jesus apart?

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me”—John 14:6

Many people speed-read through this portion of the scripture and focus on what it means generally but never take the time to understand the small details of what Jesus was talking about. When he said he was the “truth”, he meant that he was the “reality” because the Greek word translated “truth” is “alhqeia” (pronounced “al-ay-thi-a”) which objectively means “of a truth in reality”. Jesus was saying that he himself was reality. That’s what set him apart from everyone else. Elisha and Elijah and all the prophets of old were manipulating the rules of reality as it exists, Jesus said he was the reality itself. Consider what he says about you,

“For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones”—Ephesians 5:30

What does this mean about us? That we too are the way! We too are the reality! And we too are the life!

Get as many red flags as you want but these aren’t my words. I didn’t say them, the scriptures themselves did. Everything that Jesus said he is, I now am because of him. I didn’t ask for it, He gave me what I am. He said he is the way; thus, I say I too am the way. He said he is the truth; thus, I say I too am the truth. He said he is the life; thus, I too am the life. Why? Because I am a member of his body; of his flesh; and of his bones.

So, the same thing that made Jesus the master over reality is what makes me master over reality too. Jesus was the reality and thus I am the reality too. This makes us influences on par with God himself because remember, Jesus said,

“I and the Father are one.””—John 10:30

Which means I too, and my father are one! This means as God is, so am I in this physical world. You think these are my words?

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.”—1 John 4:17

YOUR BATTLE ARMOR

Why is any of this necessary in talking about our battle armor?

“For we wrestle (Greek: “palh” pronounced “pal’-ay”) not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”—Ephesians 6:12-16

This portion tells us that our fight is not against humans, but against spiritual entities of darkness. The word used for the word “wrestle” is the Greek “palh” which means “to sway you from the prescribed order”. This is the kind of spiritual battle we are engaged. Demons and Satan know they cannot win against the kind of power that we possess because we have God’s power—we are the supreme being Himself. So, their aim isn’t to fight us head on; rather their aim is to keep us from knowing the truth and thus throwing us off so that we act in ways that allow them to control us in the same way they played Solomon. They’re not interested in fighting you power versus power. It’s a game of deception for them.

God, knowing this as their strategy, tells us to put on a type of armor and observe the first things he tells us to have, “truth”. It’s the same Greek word “alhqeia”. He’s saying the first thing we always need to have in mind at every time is that we are the truth—we are the reality—just like Jesus. With this knowledge, you now know the strategy that demons have which gives you an awareness of their tricks. It also shows you how you are an influence and how to operate as an influence yourself. This awakens you more and more each day to your nature as the truth/reality.

This is the reason for putting on “truth”. Paul warns of this twice,

“Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.”—Ephesians 4:14

Here, he says that the reason for everything that we teach—the reason that I, Venancio Gomani Jr., was sent to you was to equip you with truth about who you are, what you are, and the world you truly do live in so that you no longer live in ignorance, and so that you are no longer just accepting any teaching by any “good speaking” minister out of desperation. Because this is the strategy of Satan and his demons. They wish to keep you in darkness so that they can do exactly what they did to Solomon and exactly what they do to other Christians around the world. As long as you remain in the dark, Satan and his demons will use this against you to control you whether you know it or not. Your only defense is knowing truth and being equipped with it. And not just any truth, but Paul tells us there is such a thing as wrong doctrines that we should watch out for.

Another place Paul warns us about this is,

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”—2 Timothy 2:15

Here, he tells us that we should continue to study the word of God and be able to rightly interpret truth. Not just listening to anything and everything but knowing which is truth and which isn’t because don’t forget, what we say is what we get in this kingdom. So, if you say the wrong thing, you get the wrong thing.

CONCLUSION

Everything we have discussed in this article is what constitutes the part of your battle armor called “Truth”. You are aware of your state as an influence in this world as well as how to operate as an influence. You’re also aware now how other spiritual beings function as influences thus whenever anything manifests, you should easily be able to recognize whether it’s a good or bad entity. Due to this knowledge, we have discussed, you have consciously and deliberately put on truth as your armor. In our next article, we will discuss the next portion in our battle armor—the breastplate of righteousness.

If I am to conclude this article then let it be on this note: warfare is an ongoing thing in the spiritual realm. Because of Satan’s nature, he wishes to doom every man to the same fate as him, being hell thus, whether you are conscious of it or not; whether you acknowledge it or not; whether you believe it or not, these devils of darkness are consciously swaying you into doing things that benefit them constantly and that always leads to keeping you at a lower level of life; keeping you in sin; and keeping you away from the truth so that you remain their captive. Don’t fool yourself to think that just because you don’t bother them then they’ll simply leave you alone; these things are called demons and devils for a reason; they have no conscious and will torment and destroy you whether you do something or not. The only way to fight and win against their dictates is to equip yourself and that can only be done by being Christian. These are not things that the natural man can have, only Christians have it because being Christian makes your the way; it makes you the truth; and it makes you the light; just like Jesus. If you are not Christian then this cannot apply to you no matter what you try. And this is not me saying this, Jesus Himself says it,

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”—John 14:6

There is no other way to have this except by becoming Christians. Christianity is not just a religion. Read everything we’ve taken a look at from our very first article series on Who and What a Christian Really is for yourself to know what a Christian is. If you are here and haven’t given your life to God (and therefore aren’t Christian) then I offer you the opportunity to give your life to God.

Simply believing in God and in Jesus DOES NOT make you Christian.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.“—Romans 10:9

Paul tells us exactly how to become Christian. He says you need to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead, and you need to confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. If you have never done this then you have not Christian no matter how often you go to church and no matter how good a person you are. So, right now, if you’re reading this and wish to give your life to God and become a Christian, repeat this prayer below out-loud to yourself wherever you are,

“O Lord, God,

I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God.

I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead.

I believe that He’s alive today.

I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day.

Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I am born again.

Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul!

I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”

Now if you said that prayer for the very first time and gave you life to the Lord today, congratulations: you are now a new creation! You are born again! And you are child of God from this day. Please, please, please reach out to me directly using my contact form or on the numbers given below and I will respond to you immediately: I have amazing gifts lined up just for you and I wish to help you through your Christian walk. Feel free to read my article series on Who and What A Christian Really is to learn more about who you are as a Child of God, what it means to be a child of God, and what you have as a child of God.

Thank you so much for joining me on this amazing journey and I look forward to seeing you in my next article where we discuss the breastplate of righteousness and what that actually means.
