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 (Eph 6:13).<\/p>\nFor 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 (Eph 6:13).<\/p>\n
Some of you will get this and some of you will not.\u00a0 You laugh it off at your own peril. So much of what we see going on around us borders on the unexplainable.<\/p>\n
The absolute madness that the Trump haters display is one of those things.\u00a0 Many of us had a strong dislike for the Obama administration but, we didn\u2019t take it to the streets in order to undermine what we viewed as an anti-American administration.<\/p>\n
We simply swallowed hard and complied.\u00a0 The day Obama left office was a time of great joy for many of us.\u00a0 As things begin to unfold in all of the investigations surrounding President Trump it is becoming obvious that for the previous eight years the American government has bordered on lawlessness.<\/p>\n
There is so much to be revealed I am not sure we will be able to handle it once it is fully exposed.<\/p>\n
How could government of, by, and for the people become so diabolical?\u00a0 Where did America go wrong?\u00a0 Why do so many Americans look the other way at wrong doing simply because their \u201cparty\u201d is in power?\u00a0 How have Americans become so divided?<\/p>\n
Evil spirits in \u201chigh\u201d places is the answer.\u00a0 (Here is where I am going to lose some of you.)\u00a0 The Bible teaches that the natural (non-born again) man does not understand the things of the spirit.\u00a0 Without an understanding of the spiritual world you CANNOT decipher what is happening in the natural world.\u00a0 Let me dig into this a bit.<\/p>\n
A human is a spiritual being that happens to live in a natural world.\u00a0 In fact, although you have a body you are not a body.\u00a0 You are a spirit that LIVES in a body\u2026much as a car transports us around town\u2026your body carries your spirit around in this \u201cmaterial\u201d world.<\/p>\n
Every human being enters the world the same way which is through the womb of a woman.\u00a0\u00a0 The Bible teaches that at the moment of conception a new creation is formed complete with his\/her own DNA which science calls the \u201cblueprint of life\u2019.\u00a0 Everything that makes you, you, is present at the moment conception occurs.<\/p>\n
The Bible teaches that at that same moment a living SOUL is present.\u00a0 The soul is made up of the mind, will, and emotions.\u00a0 The soul is actually YOU.\u00a0 When people communicate with another human it is the soul to which they speak\u2026not the body.\u00a0 The body is merely the encasement in which the soul is housed.<\/p>\n
Hence, you are first and foremost a soul (mind, will and emotions) that is given life by the spirit,(Breathe of God) and you operate in this natural world with a body of flesh.\u00a0 You are a soul\u2026not a body.\u00a0 When you die, the spirit\/life leaves the body (natural world) and the soul leaves this natural world for a place we have been taught to call \u201cheaven.\u201d\u00a0 But heaven is not necessarily the place where \u201cGod\u201d lives but represents a non-material world where human flesh cannot operate.\u00a0 This non-material world is what we commonly call the \u201cspiritual\u201d world.<\/p>\n
This is where the \u201cspirits in high places\u201d live and operate.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have the time to go into it now so do your own research, but suffice it to say that the \u201cspiritual\u201d world is made up of different dimensions.\u00a0 This \u201cspiritual\u201d world, although not a material one like this earthly realm, is very real.\u00a0 There is a gulf (area of separation) between the natural and spiritual dimensions.\u00a0 The only way you can enter the earth realm is by occupying a physical body.<\/p>\n
That is what God did.\u00a0 He was born in human form, Jesus, through the womb of a natural woman, Mary.\u00a0 Possessing a body is the only way to enter this earth (natural) realm.\u00a0 The human soul is currently trapped in this natural world but is able to communicate with the spiritual realm.\u00a0 That is the realm where the \u201cevil spirits in high places\u201d operate.<\/p>\n
The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is the only way that a \u201cnatural man\u201d (human) can ever get victory of \u201cevil\u201d spirits that bombard the natural world continually.<\/p>\n
The evil spirits attack humans through the mind. \u00a0Every evil action begins as a thought.\u00a0 That is why we are taught to \u201ctake captive every thought\u201d, because bad thoughts lead to bad behavior.\u00a0 It is the MIND that the evil spirits try to influence.\u00a0 This influence of the spirit realm comes through our natural senses\u2026taste, touch, sight\u2026and the desire to fulfil the \u201cnatural desires\u201d of the flesh are what causes calamity in the natural world.\u00a0 The Bible calls it sin.<\/p>\n
The Bible teaches that when Satan was vamoosed from heaven he took one third of the angels with him.\u00a0 It is from that fall from God\u2019s presence that all of the evil has entered into the natural realm.\u00a0 From the time Satan entered the garden he and his minions have been trying to oppose everything that is good.\u00a0 Everything that is good comes from God and Satan and his offspring have worked tirelessly to destroy everything that is good.<\/p>\n
That is what we wrestle with\u2026all of us\u2026every human\u2026principality and powers\u2026evil spirits\u2026determined to destroy all that is Godly.\u00a0\u00a0 What occurs in this natural world is a direct result of what has been occurring in the spiritual (high) realm.\u00a0 The Devil and his children fight humanity through thoughts\u2026planting lies that seem true\u2026\u201cdid God really say\u201d\u2026?<\/p>\n
God sent His son into this natural realm by the same method we all got here\u2026through the womb of a woman\u2026so that we might gain access to a Spirit greater than the spirits operating in this world.\u00a0 That is the \u201cwrestling\u201d that we all do.\u00a0 Without the Holy Spirit we are powerless against the forces of darkness IN THIS NATURAL realm.\u00a0 The root cause of ALL of America\u2019s problems is SPIRITUAL.\u00a0<\/strong> Sadly, there is no political answer to a spiritual problem.<\/p>\n The \u201chigh places\u201d (positions of authority) in America are occupied by natural (non born-again) men.\u00a0 Natural men are prisoners to flesh, natural influences and desires.\u00a0 Money, fame, sex, and power are what drive America\u2019s leaders and without the Holy Spirit they are incapable of doing what is right.<\/p>\n That is it in a nut-shell.\u00a0 You can ignore it, or pick at my examples, but we are in the mess we are in because our leaders, and (sadly) our churches have no understanding of what is really going on around them.<\/p>\n The spirits that influence natural men are driving the nation over a cliff.\u00a0 Evil flourishes when good men give yield authority to wickedness.\u00a0 Read Genesis 6 and you will see that the battle has never changed\u2026good versus evil\u2026one will win.<\/p>\n Evil spirits in high places are ruling the world and the average Christian has no idea why.\u00a0 How can we hope to win if we don\u2019t understand the fight?<\/p>\n \u00a9 2018 Dave Daubenmire News With Views<\/a><\/span>\u2013All Rights Reserved<\/p>\n 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 (Eph 6:13).
