We war not against flesh and blood

Posted on by asherdc89

There’s an unseen controversy between good and evil. A controversy of conflict and war over the control of our minds to determine our eternal fate. This controversy is often played out in our daily lives, concerning argument, morality and justice. 

We spiritually wrestle against the force and authority of the prince and power of the air who works through the children of disobedience and supernatural phenomena. Not only stirring up strife in the hearts of men to cause misery, pain and suffering. But also working through those who have obtained high positions to rule the world in darkness, practicing spiritual wickedness.

As God works things out for our good, the devil observes and plans for our destruction. God uses situations and circumstances to turn what was meant for evil for our good. God allows us to prosper despite what the devil has planned for us and irrespective of how hard and difficult he tries to make it. God will always be with us to see us through. 

Without faith we will not only be able to spiritually discern what is actually happening, but we won’t be able to see God’s divine purpose and providence to save us. And we won’t be able to see the subtleties of the devil’s plan as he lays snares to destroy us.

Therefore, there’s no such thing as a coincidence. Circumstances with no connection. Nothing that happens by accident or chance. Whenever it be for good or evil.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
