33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
satan has come to steel, kill, and destroy.
His only purpose is to take as many souls to hell as he can and he will do anything he can to do it.
We are not fighting a battle of flesh and blood.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I believe If we could see into the spiritual realm
if we could see into this battle
we would absolutely be caught off guard
What you and I need to realize is that the devil knows and understands that his time short,
And Because he knows; he is on a relentless attack against mankind;
there is a battle that is taken place at this very moment in what we call “the spiritual realm”.
If it were possible to see inside the spiritual realm we would be amazed to see the attack that is come against the church,
Not a battle against flesh and blood.
and the goal in this battle is not your flesh and blood; because your body is gonna return to the ground;
but your soul; because your soul lives forever
Satan and all his demons are roaming around looking for ways to separate us from God.
They’re looking for ways to rob you of the Joys of the Lord
because they know if they can take you joy; then they got your strength.
and if they got your strength; then they know they have a chance to take your soul.
tonight I want to take a moment and preach to you on the subject of:
The battle You Cannot See
The battle You Cannot See
You often hear me talk about this place that is called the spiritual realm.
A place where a battle for your soul is taking place.
You may not be able to see into this realm
However; I have seen and you have seen the results of battles that have been fought in the spiritual realm.
but we see the results everyday.
People living in sin;
Lives destroyed because of sin
People doing whatever they want to do with no regards to what God says
We see families torn apart
People living ungodly lifestyles
The list is endless.
anything or anyone that has turned away from God;
is a result of a battle that was fought in the spiritual realm.
I have often wandered what in what it must look inside the realm.
But back in the early 90’s my pastor at the time had a dream of this place and he shared dream with me.
Tonight I want to take your on a journey
Look at your neighbor and tell them to hang on; we fixing to take a journey.
In my mind I had this vision or image of a huge gate
The first thing in his dream that he saw was a huge gate entrance,
and at that gate, there is what appeared to me to be a demon,
the demon was waving his hands;
motioning me to the direction of this gate,
I made my way over to this gate;
and as I was approaching the gate entrance I could hear people yelling and screaming;
The was the most awful sounds I had ever heard.
As I reached this gates entrance; I could see inside the gate
and I could see this tree.
and standing underneath the tree was another demon and he was pointing up into the tree,
and when I took notice,
I saw that there were ornaments hanging in the tree,
and the demon motioned for me to go over towards the tree
and as I got closer I could see that there was a word wrote on these ornaments that were hanging on this tree.
and as I got a little closer I could see the word.
and the word that was Written on these ornaments was the word “joy”,
and I was puzzled because I didn’t understand what this meant ;
But the demon that guarded this tree was laughing
and then I had realized what these ornament meant and why the word joy was written on them.
These “ornaments” with the word joy; represented what had been stolen from so many Christians.
Because of life’s situations; caused by this battle that is taken place in the spiritual realm.
People have lost their joy in serving the Lord,
Or have lost their joy for life in general.
and the ornaments on this tree in this dream or vision; represented Trophies of victory for the enemy and his demons.
They were on display and they were being guarded.
And at this time I had become very disturbed in my spirit.
The demon that met me at the gates entrance motioned for me to go a little further,
so I did; and it wasn’t long before I noticed another gate,
and as he was walking past the gates entrance, I could hear weeping and screaming,
and it was at this time I realized that the Lord was trying to show me something,
so I continued to move forward and again I saw another tree,
And this tree; just like the first tree, also had ornaments hanging in it and a demon guarding the tree.
the demon motioned me to come closer and I did
it was the same as the first; but the word on these ornaments was different than the first.
The word these ornaments; was the word peace
And this demon underneath the tree was laughing.
He was laughing because this tree contained peace that he had stole from so many Christians.
Those that had once trusted in the Lord;
but again; because of the circumstances of life, their peace had been robbed of them.
again the demon from the gate entrance motioned for him to go further,
So I followed the demon further into the camp,
the weeping and screaming grew louder with ever step.
Again there was another gate, as they entered through this gate,
I noticed another tree,
He noticed another tree,
but this one was a little bit different than the other trees,
instead of one demon underneath the tree, there were three demons guarding this tree,
these demons were laughing and carrying on.
They pointed up in the tree
and as I looked up he noticed that this tree had more ornaments than the previous trees.
On these ornaments were the words un-forgiveness, bitterness, and jealousy.
the weeping and screaming grew louder and louder, it grew to the point where I could understand what was being said.
I could hear the words:
let us out, let us out, let us out, over and over they were saying let us out, let us out.
And as we entered through the next gate,
the demons were laughing and carrying on and pointing their fingers to the tree that stood before them.
They were saying “you see what we caused, you see how we been deceiving Christians,
even the Christians that attend your church”.
The tree was full of ornaments
and unlike the rest of the ornaments; these had more than one word.
Written on these ornaments were the words;
drugs,
alcohol,
pornography,
lust and fornication.
This tree was called the addiction tree.
The demons were carrying on,
they were laughing and mocking Christians that had fallen into the deception of their lies.
By this time I had seen enough and I didn’t want to go any further,
but I knew that I must,
So I continued, still hearing the weeping and crying,
we entered through the next gate.
This next tree was the biggest tree of all the trees in the enemies camp,
it was guarded both day and night by what was known as the top demons of hell,
they were the best of the best, hand picked by satan himself.
They were not allowed to do anything but guard this tree.
This tree was the most important tree in all of the enemies camp.
And when I looked up in this tree;
My heart was broken because of what was hanging there,
I began to weep as I read the words on these ornaments
The words written on these ornaments were in big bold letters to be seen as a trophy all throughout the enemies camp.
The words were
truth,
righteousness,
peace,
faith,
salvation,
prayer,
sanctification,
Holiness
A little confused at first as I was reading these words
As I was reading these words I realized:
and then I realized:
that these words are what represent the character of a true Christian.
These things are what satan himself has stolen from the children of God,
Satan knows that we are not fighting a physical battle,
he knows it’s not a battle of flesh and blood.
Satan has come to still, kill and destroy
This dream or vision is a type of hell if you will
It is a trophy room of satan and all that he has stole and is stealing from God’s people;
and he sits back and laughs in our face.
and he displays the things that he has stole form us.
there are certain characteristics that go hand in hand with calling yourself a christian.
and the enemy knows that if he can rob you of those characteristics
then he can make you powerless.
He can make you ineffective
But I come to tell you tonight, as the blood bought saints of the Living God,
that you and I need to go to the enemies camp and take back what he stole from us.
You say what makes you think we can go into the enemies camp and take back what the devil has stole from us.
I am glad you asked!!!
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God has not failed>>>>>>
He’s the same God……
Dainiel and the lions den
Sharach,meshach, abendego
Abraham on mount miraha
Job- through it all
Joshua cross the Jordan river
Peter walking on water
Women with the issue of blood
That fed the five thousand
Turned the water into wine
Peter at the day of pentacost
Paul and silas
Paul when he was shipwrecked
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
