Book Cover & Preview Text
Giving all honor to the unquenchable, free flowing, ever loving "Holy Spirit" of "Christ," our hope of glory. For "He" is! Within the darkness of this sometimes troubled mind.
THE REAL ENEMY
It is very true, that the devil is a true enemy and he attempts to create havoc and chaos for the people of "God." It is important to understand the he is "God's" enemy, for the battle is not ours but whose?
See, we often see the enemy as the only enemy against us, and it is true for the most part, he creates many attacks against us from others. The truth is, he is working to destroy us to try and fix "God" up and we as indiviuals help him.
Maybe unknowing, but we too must understand that we can be ever so smart and realy wise in some areas and truly walking with "God" and yet, miss Heaven. Why?
In the dimension from where you are about to leave from. It is the dimension the devil wants to keep you, (in your mind) and he (the devil) (he knows it but don’t want you to know it.)
The devil knows he is an enemy, the only true enemy of "God" and he is our enemy, but our true enemy is our own selves.
It is almost as the fact that the battle is not ours. We feel and experience the battle in real and devastating proportions. Still the battle is not ours but the "Lord’s." Yet and still we must fight, and fight we must, the good fight of faith.
Just because we fall, or we make a mistake, or we mess up, it does not mean, we have no faith, or we are no good. We just simply repent, get up and dust off, and get to fighting again, but often we do not, for we feel defeated, because we are not facing our real enemy but "God’s" (which is ours) but remember the battle is "God’s" even when we are feeling satans blows. (I mention this because I am learning How important it is to know, I mean really know certain things, for in so knowing it enhances our walking in the victory, we know is there and try hard as we do with our hearts being honest and sincere before "God", we sometimes do not experience the victory walk because we have no knowledge; not because the knowing or the knowledge is not here, its here, but we reject it by not facing the real enemy (the inner me), or not hearing the word, given because of who gives it etc. But the truth of Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:13 is deep because those two scriptures is the divine truth of me, and besides Deep is O. K. simply because "God" says in Luke 5:4, launch out into the deep? Did "God" not leave on record for us to know that if we have "His" spirit, we can know the deep things of "God" (1 Corinthians 2:11-16) so why be deep?
I experience daily freedom in my mind, I am beginning to even experience freedom in my emotions daily, but financial and physical manifestations are delayed. Why? I do not know, but I must keep keeping on, so I do not worry, for I know it is coming, so in the mean time I will pick up my cross as daily as I can, by looking into me, that is how I face my true enemy, and as I do it hurts my "Father’s" true enemy (The devil which is the real outer enemy, but it is the real inner me I must face, which is the real enemy and the "Lord" arises in me and satan and his co-worker are scattered (Psalms 68:1-2)
For even though I am not wicked, I do have some wicked ways, "God" said so, (2 Chronicles 7:14), but "He" also tells me I, even though I am "His" people I must humble myself, I must turn from my wicked ways, but if I will not be humble, and if I am not humble, I cannot turn from my wicked ways, and how can I turn from my wicked ways if I hide from, my own flesh, in other words if I do not face the real enemy, that is in-a me (capiche?) (Isaiah 58:7)
