Win Win

2 Corinthians 6:17

Jesus Speaking: The battle rages and the fight is on. Of course you can try to ignore it or pretend that it’s just some physical thing. Like when you hear the madness outside, the weird noises from the supposed “church” or the ruckus at the bar across the street, you can just think to yourself that it’s just some really foolish people making a lot of noise. But you have been told that it’s a part of the war. Those demons are manifesting themselves in the physical. They have taken a hold of those who have yielded to them, and they are laughing and showing their power. The war is real; those that fight you are real. Of course, if it was My will, you have enough key power to blow those demons off the face of the earth, but it isn’t time for that now. I allow them to remain, for one, as a test of your faith and two, as a constant reminder of the war. And for now, the world has been given over to Satan. According to the rules of this engagement, he is allowed to inhabit those who give themselves to him. Right now, that is a large share of mankind. Even many Christians who believe in Me have been deceived and willingly bought into the system. So for now, it’s more like containment. I contain you safely. I feed you in the presence of your enemies. I could obliterate your enemies, but it’s not time yet. The time will come when “The wicked will not be and you will diligently consider his place and it shall not be” but for now it’s more like “Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear” and “A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee”

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”

So when you hear the noise, you know that it’s the enemy sitting cackling in their tents right outside your encampment. In their foolishness, they feel triumphant because they are allowed to sit there, pestering and making noise. But it’s a bit hollow, because that’s about all they can do. Of course, he tries in other ways too. He sends in waves of hopelessness, discouragement, negativity, boredom, lethargy and many others. But if you recognize where it is coming from and put up your shield of key power, then you defeat him on that score as well. Even when the blows do get through and you go down, you can use it to learn to fight better next time. Or just the sheer determination of getting up over and over turns you into a tough soldier that is determined to use those weapons no matter how many blows he takes. So you really are in a “win-win” situation. The cards are stacked in your favor; you have all the advantage. You have the weapons, and they are strong and powerful: but if, because of your pride, he manages to land a blow on you and you go down, you are actually strengthened because it reminds of you where your real strength lies and you fall back more heavily on Me and less on your own strength. See? Like I said, –win win.
