Determining The Will Of God Pt 3 "Fighting For The Family" Pt 2

In the last blog we talked about the will of God regarding family. We began to discuss some of the ways that we can prevent the destroyer from bringing distance, division, and ultimately death and destruction. Today were gonna continue by bringing a powerful and profound illustration of fighting for the family in the book of beginings called Genesis. Abraham was given a promise by god himself that his name was going to be made great and through him every family on the erath would be BLESSED. We find this challenged by the enemy in the fourteenth chapter. His nephew Lot was kidnapped by FOUR KINGS. The reason I have it capitalized is because eacdh one of them represent a principality and power. Lets look at the book of Ephesians, We wrestle NOT against FLESH & BLOOD, BUT AGAINST PRINIPALITIES AND POWERS, RULERS OF DARKNESS IN THIS WORLD AND SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES(Eph 6:12) Is the devil real? are a third of the angels that became demons real? Its important that we say that at times. There are many that would answer a resounding yes! However when they get into certain situations and scenarios they look to God as if its like Why are you LETTING THIS HAPPEN?!!! Havent you like ever heard somebody talk that way?. We all have, the sad thing is many preachers have preached that way. It was a very real devil that attacked adam and eve in the garden, it was a very real devil that attacked Job, its a very real devil cast into the lake of fire in the book of Revelation! God said through the mouth of peter Hes like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour(1 Peter 5:8) We have in passed blogs talked about how he was able to get the access and authority. Principalities and powers will attempt to attack and assult. Its the reason that we must PUT ON the whole armor of God and know how to use the weapons that are not carnal but mighty through God!!! Abraham defeated each of these four Kings with a physical sword, we use a SPIRITUAL SWORd the word of the LIVING GOD! Jesus himself used this mighty sword in the book of Matthew and Luke when he was attackedf in the wilderness. He SAID IT IS WRITTENJ! Now are we going to have to open up our mouths and SAY some things? god said through the mouth of Joel Let the weak SAY IAM STRONG(Joel 3:10) Theres a time to pray, however theres also a time to stand strong and SAY in the name of Jesus!!! Look Jesus is our exapmle and a servant is not greater than his master, if its the way he operated than we MUST AS WELL! Now these FOUR KINGS!!! The first, ELAM. It represents "BINDING UP" There are family members that are bound up by addiction, depression, wild horse emotions ect..... What is the answer, Jesus said whatever we bind on earth SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN(Matt 16:19, Matt 18:18) when someone is bound up are they going to act all nice and hospitable? NO!!! lol Thats why we must recognize the source is spiritual and we have to keep the war where it can be WON, IN THE SPIRIT! Remember what Jesus said? EVERY DEVIL IS SUBJECT TO US IN THE NAME OF JESUS(Luke 10:17) The book of Ephesians says that all of us have walked according to the coarse of this world fulfilling the desires of the flesh and mind and the prince of the power in the air began to control. As it was broken off are lives, it WILL BE BROKEN OFF THERES AS WELL! however we must having done all to stand, STAND THEREFORE in the name of Jesus and refuse to bend or break until the answer comes powerfully and profoundly! when were in that warfare, lets apply and appropriate the excellant spirit of Danial in STANDING TILL THE PROMISE COMES TO PASS! the second King, SHINAR. Shinar represents being blinded by darkness. God said through nthe mouth of Paul The god of this world HATH BLINDED THE MINDS of those that believe not, less the light of the gospel SHINE UNTO THEM(2 Cor 4:3,4)! when someone is blind what do they need? their eyes opened!!! One of the greatest prayers the Lord gave me for those in the midst of this is found in the book of Ephesians. This is a spirit inspired prayer from God in and through the mouth of Paul. The spirit of WISDOM AND REVEALTION BE UPON YOU, THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BE ENLIGHTENED THAT YOU MAY KNOW.....(Eph 1:17,18) OH GLORY TO GOD!!!! You see on;y the spirit can open up blind eyes! remember what Jesus told peter after he recieved the revealtion that he was the Chist the son of the living God? BLESSED are you Simon Barjona, FLESH AND BLOOD HAS NOT REVEALED THIS TO YOU, but the FATHER IN HEAVEN(Matt 16:17) None of us can make someone see anything! put these spirit inspired prayers in the book of Ephesians to work! Put the peoples name in the blanks! i know by the spirit of God that you will see results! The next King, ELASAR. This word litterally means "Lion Like" In other words the enemy attempts to itimidate. He did this in the life of a young man named David. When Goliath "which represented the devil" was out in the field cursing them out forty days in the row morning and night, Davids like IS THERE NOT A CAUSE? His brothers were like who mending the sheep? They did'nt care about the sheep, the devil was trying to use them to intimidate. Know that usually scared people that wont step out themselves because of insecurity and inferiority will attempt to intimidate you so their weakness wont be exposed. this is exactly what Davids bros tried to do! there is a saying that goes "theres only one way through hell and THATS STRAIGHT THROUGH IT"! after than than David had tro face Saul. Now heres an importany point. The way David reponded to Saul was much different than the way that he replied to the brothers. Why? Its because Saul was in a place and position of authority and all have been ordained by God(Rom 13:1) So are approach should be different because of respect. Than finally there was the biggest one of all, GOLIATH! David simply ran right toward him and flung the stone and the annointing of God guuided and governed it straight to the forhead and goliath fell like an apple from a tree! The final King represents FEAR! satan himself is the spirit of fear and always accompanied with it is TORMENT(1 john 4:18) So lets say it this way, "Fear is a tormenting spirit" its no small subject in the word of God. Its mentioned over 600 times. fear works like faith only in the opposite direction. Job found this out when he said "The thing that I greatly feared hath come upon me" "when fear knocks on our door, SEND FAITH and fear will no longer be there!" In this blog we have dealth with what must be done in the spirit, when it comes to FIGHTING FOR OUR FAMILIES! We have great power and authority in the spirit, lets use it in the name of Jesus!
