Spiritual Warfare & Balance!


 
I wanted to talk about achieving balance in
certain parts on Spiritual Warfare.
It is true that we can get over-focussed on
Spiritual Warfare.
We can get so involved in it,
from a certain perspective,
that our focus on Yeshua can become a little fuzzy.
And we can tend to focus on Warfare more than
Praying or Worshiping.
We need the balance of
all of the above.
 
Yeshua
Worship
Prayer
Spiritual Warfare
 
Some books have been written on territorial warfare,
& warfaring while physically present in a place;
known as warfaring “On site”.
There are some good points in these types of writings.
And doing Spiritual Warfare “ON Site”
can be directed by the Holy Spirit.
 
Lots of our troubles are caused by
the evil one & his tactics.
We have been hurt & injured because
we have been ignorant of his tactics.
We should be aware, & NOT ignorant!
2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 
  
The church has forgotten many things,
& amoung these,
she has forgotten Spiritual Warfare.
And how to do it
Properly,
Safely,
& in Balance.
 
We need more training in Spiritual Warfare,
without losing our “balance”,
in order to gain more victories.
And not just personal ones. 
 

 
   

Entire Cities need our prayers & spiritual warfare.
States/Provinces need our prayers & spiritual warfare.
Nations need our prayers & spiritual warfare.
And World_Wide Sweeping Global Situations
need our prayers & spiritual warfare!

+At this point, several Scriptures come to my mind:
 
1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 

 

Romans 8:19
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God.

JOHN 14;
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL HE DO; because I go unto my Father.

 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

 14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

I will only list these Scriptures,

so that there are only a few to focus on.

Sometimes it is easier to remember

the Word of God,

if we only focus on

a few Scriptures at a time.

Somehow,

I feel the Heavenly Father

REALLY WANTS US TO GET THIS!!


I pray this has been informative & spiritually educational.
I would even love to see a lively discussion about this!
Anyone want to “pop in”
& have a say!!?!
Please Do!!
May Yeshua Bless you all!!!

railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.


******************************

*{Word Studies-Commentaries}*

*{For: 2 Peter 2:10-11}*

******************************


{Vincent’s Word Studies}

Despise government
Rev., dominion. Compare Jud_1:8

Dignities (äïîáò)
Lit., glories. Compare Jud_1:8. Probably angelic powers: note

the reference to the angels immediately following, as in Jud_1:9

to Michael. They defy the spiritual powers though knowing their

might.
{END}

******************************

{Jameison, Fausset, & Brown Commentary}

railing accusation–Greek, “blaspheming judgment” (Jud_1:9).

against them–against “dignities,” as for instance, the fallen

angels: once exalted, and still retaining traces of their former

power and glory.

before the Lord–In the presence of the Lord, the Judge, in

reverence, they abstain from judgment [BENGEL]. Judgment

belongs to God, not the angels. How great is the dignity of the

saints who, as Christ’s assessors, shall hereafter judge angels!

Meanwhile, railing judgments, though spoken with truth,

against dignities, as being uttered irreverently, are of the nature

of “blasphemies” (Greek, 1Co_4:4-5). If superior angels dare not,

as being in the presence of God, the Judge, speak evil even of the

bad angels, how awful the presumption of those who speak evil

blasphemously of good “dignities.” 2Sa_16:7-8, Shimei;

Num_16:2-3, Korah, &c., referred to also in Jud_1:11; Num_12:8,

“Were ye (Aaron and Miriam) not afraid to speak evil of My

servant Moses?” The angels who sinned still retain the indelible

impress of majesty. Satan is still “a strong man”: “prince of this

world”; and under him are “principalities, powers, rulers of the

darkness of this world.”
{END}

******************************

{Robertson’s Word Pictures}

They tremble not to rail at dignities (doxas ou tremousin

blasphemountes). “They tremble not blaspheming dignities.”

Tremo is old verb (Mar_5:33), used only in present as here and

imperfect. Here with the complementary participle

blasphemountes rather than the infinitive blasphemein. See

Jud_1:8. Perhaps these dignities (doxas) are angels (evil).
