At War with the Devil

My life wasn't a battle until I became a threat to evil. Now its a full on war. There was a time when I didn't see/feel the war around me. I was numb to it. The veil of culture fooled me into thinking there is no war. This nullified my gifts(weapons) and made me a non-threat to evil. Now that I have been given the eyes to see the ears to hear the truth of how evil runs this world I have no choice but to fight/protect. - Facebook Post

What A Man Wants

continued.. What a man wants is a woman to show him how to love, to show him beauty and to invite him into relationship. He needs freedom, he needs a fight to undertake, he needs a safe place to come back from the battle of life. What he doesn't need is to be controlled or the wildness taken out of him. And this too is how we should raise our sons. That is how to stir a man's heart and get what you want!

Beauty Hunted

My fear grows as my daughter develops into a beautiful young woman that she will be hunted by evil that which drives men to possess/steal Gods beauty in her. Lord protect her. Lord give me the strength to defend her.

Being a good, loving, present father is the best thing you can do for your daughters. A father is a girls first love. I unfortunatly wasnt able to provide that for my daughter until my husband entered our lives when my daughter was 11. Now she knows what a good loving man is. She knows how a man should treat a woman..... be a loving example and she will be alright!!

We should talk. My daughter is 14 and oblivious to boys' attention ... but I see grown men staring at her when we're out and it strikes the deepest fear in me I've ever known!

Prayers for ChildrenDaily pray:1. Father God, I ask that you would send your angels to bind up any and all demons which have rights and grounds to my children and that you do that right now. I command that all demons that have rights and grounds to my children be completely separated from all their functions, now. I command that any demons that have any business to do with my wife/children/husband today that you come through me first. (In other words, if the enemy has a bone to pick, go pick on someone his own size).3. Father God, please place a barrier of protection around each one of my children right now and Lord Jesus, I ask that you would come today, at any time necessary, to deal with any and all spirit beings which might attempt to harass my children/spouse.4. Pray Ephesians 6 over your children.

thanks everyone! Beauty is ok to look at what I am talking about is trying to possess, prey, or take advantage of it! God gave us beauty especially in a woman as a gift like a sunset or beautiful flower. It is hard not to notice beauty or to deny it moves us. It is when men are moved to take it when its not theirs is the probably and where my fear lies. Sometimes women don't know what they invite/stif in men or where to cut it off. Men don't know where to stop the hunt and especially they don't know what damage they do in their pursuit to capture beauty. Fellow men admire, thank, and leave them alone please.

Kids: "We Are At War!"

There is an unseen world that exists around and within us. A world inhabited by God, the author and Father of all creation, His son Jesus the Christ, His Holy Spirit, angels, and demons. There is an order to this unseen world, just like in the seen world we inhabit. There is war in the unseen world, just like in our world. There are times of peace, but where there is free will, there is good and evil, and where there is good and evil, and there will always be war. There is only one created being that can and does exist in both worlds; us. Humans. We are souls who “temporarily have physicality”. Our primary state of existence is not our present physical state, but our future spiritual state. The knowledge of the eternal existence of our souls is a primary instruction for living out our physical existence. If we truly believe that God exists and that we have both physical and spiritual natures, then we will live and love differently than someone who believes in only the physical, being slaves to our appetites and emotions. Differently too from an animal who understands only the physical and reacts in fear and instinct to the world around it.

As Christians we believe in this dual nature of mankind and that God, through His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit seeks out His elect and speaks to us through the scriptures, through His creation, through our hearts and through other people. God speaks to us in joy and pain, life and death, work and play. The gentle wind of His Spirit. The peace which surpasses all understanding. A kind word spoken or written at just the right time. He speaks to us in silence. The silence that requires of us faith, "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."The silence that calms our hearts and minds to sense His presence deep within our own souls.

Now our biggest challenge as parents is not teaching about Jesus, but teaching of this "unseen world" inhabited by a triune God: The creator, the savior and the counselor. But also inhabited by messengers and warriors, princes and dragons all locked in battle for the elusive, eternal souls of man. If a child can believe and understand that this seeming fantasy, this mythology, is true, real and urgent, then all of a sudden the entire landscape of their lives will be transformed and the quest for hearing God's voice changes from an "ought" and "should" to a "need" and "want". Knowing the savior becomes a soul-searching need to find our king rather than a story told for fifteen minutes after crafts on Sunday before brunch. The world fits with this story.

The world can be understood through this story. This story is bigger than us. Bigger than our comprehension. Bigger than science. Bigger than the grandest ideas of history. Unless our kids understand the whole story; the hard parts and easy parts, the logic and paradox, the difficulties of faith and free-will, good and evil, pain and fear they will never be fully committed. They need to know where and how they fit into this TRUE story, and what they will be up against, who they are following and why. They need to be taught how to follow Jesus, how to pursue Him, how to be with him and how hear the Father's voice like He did. Only then will they be prepared to do the will of The Father which is the purpose of all of creation. Only then will they truly, truly believe.

Notes and Ideas:

We have grown so accustom to seeing and hearing evil that we dismiss it as a normal part of life.
This paradox the physical world and its issues are just hard tangible version of what is going in the spiritual realm. However, we must fight the spiritual war much different than how we fight in the physical world. Jesus spent much of his ministry teaching us how he fought the physical world with spiritual weapons of love, forgiveness, truth, repentance, healing, casting out demons, and most importantly asking the Father for instructions our supreme commander.

Hearing God’s voice and will for us is an absolute if we are to be true followers of Christ. My life is now: I HAVE to talk to God. I HAVE to know what my next orders are! I HAVE to be trained. I HAVE to be reprimanded by the LORD. I HAVE to be healed of my battle wounds. I HAVE to follow Jesus for God sent his One and Only SON to teach us reality of being warriors for God and for the SAKE of building/defending his Kingdom.

Thank you to my great friend PH for being a such a source of the light for me helping me write this so clearly.
