"Wielding Warriors"

"Wielding Warriors"

"As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world."  (John 17:18)  Jesus was talking about His followers, and my dear friends, that, "now" happens to be you and me.  Christians and Angels have a lot in common; we both fight against evil; we help the helpless; we bring good news to hurting humans; we do the work of Jesus Christ our Lord.  We are being sent out as sheep among wolves, as prey to hungry vultures, as Word bearers to the blind, as armored soldiers rescuing the souls of men, as mortal Heroes defeating devils, as "Wielding Warriors."

"Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was

created, till iniquity was found in thee.  By the multitude of thy merchandise

they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou has sinned: therefore,

I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee,

O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of  fire.  Thine heart was

lifted up because of thy beauty, thou has corrupted thy wisdom by reason

of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground  ... " 

(Ezekiel 28:15-19)

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."  (Ephesians 6:12)  Our war is against the occupants of the second heaven, satan's domain.  Since God cast satan, and 1/3 of the angels with him, out of heaven; satan spends his time tormenting, and seeking to kill, steal and destroy everything and everyone associated with Almighty God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ the Righteous.  That is why we cannot be "weak" Christians; much of our prayers must be binding satan and his imps, rebuking him and his efforts, and applying the authority of the Name of Jesus, the Word of Jesus and the Blood of Jesus to defeat his every ploy.

"For by fire and by his sword will the 

Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the 

Lord shall be many."

(Isaiah 66:16)

The Lord Jesus Christ came to save, not destroy, but the evil and wicked in the end will not survive.  Christians: we have the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and we have the "fire;" the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of the One who reigns with all power and wisdom!  God has given us the authority to rule over the wiles of darkness, subdue them, and put them under our feet.  He has given us the power to rebuke the winds, heal diseases, raise the dead, cast out demons, open blinded eyes and deaf ears, and we need to stand in that authority!  You say, "I've prayed over people and they weren't healed."  These things come not out but by prayer and fasting. 

We need to reach a higher level of belief  ...  He said we would; He told us we could; He admonished us that we should; He expects us to bring forth good; and He sent us out to deliver the "hoods;" So, WE WILL!

"Now is the time for judgment on this

world; now the prince of this world will

be driven out."

(John 12:31)

That word "judgment" in the Greek for this scripture actually means "crisis."  Barnes' Notes says it like this, "It cannot mean that 'then' was to be the time in which the world was to be finally judged, for he says that he did not come then to judge the world, and he has clearly declared that there shall be a future day when he will judge all mankind.  The meaning of it may be thus expressed: Now is approaching the decisive scene, the eventful period - the crisis - when it shall be determined who shall rule this world."  

How will God's Spirit be poured out upon all flesh?  How will the Gospel be preached in all the world for a witness?  How will revival explode in every Nation?  How will the Word of God, the Holy Bible, reign in the hearts of men?  "How" is answered by the Church!  The Warriors of the final hour will wield their swords, march in unity, divide to multiply, corral to conquer, destroy demons to dance in demon blood, subdue satan, power up in the Holy Ghost to punch down the cohorts of evil, and RISE to our proper position as kings and priests, ministers and apostles, and GO into all the world, do our "thing" and then  ... the end shall come!

"You, dear children, have overcome

them, because the one who is in you

is greater than the one who is in the

world."

(I John 4:4)

Oh Yeah!!  The Holy Ghost and fire!  You can't move in God's power if you're not filled with His power.  How do you know if you have been filled with His Spirit?  Ten out of ten people speak with tongues, as His Spirit gives them utterance, when they are filled with the Holy Ghost.  After that, You are a stick of dynamite ready to go off!  What?  Power!  Gifts!  Wisdom!  Knowledge! Counsel! Might!  Understanding!  Spirit of the Lord! and Fear of the Lord!  You're walkin' talkin' Dynamite!

"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so

that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of

Christ, who is the image of God."

(2 Corinthians 4:4)



"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." (2 Corinthians 4:7)  It's all about God.  The power of God, the Holy Ghost and fire, the gifts of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, are to reach the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ  ...  that's the reason for being filled with the power of God  ...  to save us and to go out and save them.  Them, who?  Those who are blind, spiritually blind.  Only the power of Jesus Christ our Lord can reach them and open their eyes  ...  He knows the hearts  ...  He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy  ...  He knows the hearts.

The Saints of God will not go limping through the Gates of Glory!  This is our finest hour; we have lived to see His Spirit being poured out on all flesh!  You say, "What?  I don't see that."  Over 580 million people worldwide have been filled with the Holy Ghost and fire, and still counting  ...  Miracles, signs and wonders are mounting; Nations, kindreds and tongues are stirring; humans are bowing; hearts are crying out; the world is turning its eyes upward; hands are reaching for the hems of our garments  ...  We must step up, stand tall, speak with the authority of God, and gather in the sheaves, because we know who we are  ...  We absolutely know where we are going; we confidently know in whom we have believed  ...  Hey, Let's Roll  ...  We're "Wielding Warriors!"
