An Invitation to a Lost fight

An Invitation to a Lost Fight
People often fight lost battles because they do not know that the fight was lost spiritually. The invitation to fight comes in the form of thoughts / a person inviting you to do things that would lead to sin and spiritual dejection from God. Addicts mostly suffer from this phenomenon as they crave and take substances. Where does the power of craving come from, if each time you indulge your spirit dampens and you regret whatever transpires thereafter. If the results are negative and the beholder will know that, then these must be evil spirits. Spirits can either take the form of a human to influence you or thought (pure telepathic transmission) to get to someone. Now, how does one fight back? Lost fights are not worth taking. Turning down the invitation is a victory. How does one identify a lost fight and how can one turn down the invitations to a lost fight are questions to answer. Turning down an identified lost fight is victory in itself. Since everything there is, is drawn from the spiritual it is imperative to understand the balance of power in the spiritual world. There is in fact no balance of power in the spiritual world if you know the God of Israel. On knowing/accepting his powers it will then be your will to seek guidance from Him. But blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed as Jesus said to Thomas of Didymus in the passage from the Holy Bible below.
John 20:24-30 (New International Version)
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28 Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
WHO IS THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND WHAT IS THE SPIRITUAL WORLD LIKE?
For all things to be there there has to be a force out of nowhere, everywhere and always there at all times. No other possibility exists (Try to juggle and you will return to square one if you are lucky otherwise you will be susceptible to demon manipulation). It was always there because it is the beginning and from the beginning being becomes and that is creation. The Lord God of Israel say's I am the beginning and the end. It is the Spirit of God that I am talking about here. For we live in two dimensions the body/soul and the spirit and we are born into this world from somewhere. It is logical that one gets somewhere only because they are from elsewhere. We come from the spiritual world and we existed in spirit before assuming our body. Perhaps the memories of the spirit before assuming the body are what, later in life, gives us dejevu.
The spiritual world is the spiritual dimension of our existence. It is our spiritual interaction which is then manifested in the physical life (the everyday life we live). The two worlds are intertwined, but since before assuming the physical form we are spirits, spirits dominate over the physical world. All actions come from executing thoughts, which the mind/soul receives from the spirit. I say thoughts come from the spirit as the primary source of thought as opposed to secondary influence which is mainly driven by experience. Conquering one's spirit the devious way is coercing them. The visible should obviously be influenced by the invisible. Remember the movie of the invisible man, he manipulated things. The spiritual world can be thought of in that manner. If the spirits are fighting it can be thought of as two invisibles fighting but now these two invisibles are an analogy of the spiritual world, the spirits in the real-world are connected to bodies thus a movement in the spiritual is mirrored in the physical. But there is a two direction influence of the two realms. Things done physically are manufactured in the spirit and in turn actions influence the spiritual (such as the performance of rituals). Then one might ask as to where the action really begins. The cycle's source is God. Other spirits/from the devil, the demons that were cast down on earth short circuited the cycle and commotion (sin) was planted, demons were planted if they did not meet resistance from the Power of the Holy Spirit which Jesus Christ left us with.
How does one identify lost fights-the spiritual DNA? It is through zealous prayer to the Lord that we and then the searching for signs. Consulting man of God also helps. The world is infested with demons and constant prayer is important so that one cannot be blinded by evil spirits spiritual leading to the failure to interpret Gods word and know your blessings. Talking back to the invitation of the evil spirit (human or thought) in the name of Jesus Christ arrests evil spirits and one can see clearly spiritually. When one's soul and spirit is being devoured by evil spirit Gods purpose is not fulfilled and since Gods purpose is good for us hindering Gods purpose makes us suffer.
By extension a country can seek its destination from the Lord of Heavens Armies for in a country are a people, a nation. There can be no country without a nation, a people, and a country is a spiritual entity before God, for a people are chosen, for He chose Israel as a nation, though in some instances a nation can personify a person. God declares on individuals and nations and all else. When God declares on something it will come to pass, the promises He made on Israel one by one are being fulfilled showing the might of His word. He said to Ezekiel: Ezekiel 37
The Valley of Dry Bones
1 The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"
I said, "Sovereign LORD, you alone know."
4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.'"
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.'" 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feeta vast army.
11 Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.'"
Israel was indeed declared a state in 48 hours on 14 May 1948.
Nations and people heed the word of God and live by His Declaration for it is Holy and Filled with Blessings and any other way is doomed. The devil can fake success but true sustainability of success, stress free success is in God. The devil's success is never success as it is built on lies from the beginning, there are plenty examples in real life e.g the collapse of rogue regimes as a result of the Arab Spring. Only God's Declaration on nation and individuals will make them live; like the rudder that lives on Gods declaration of continuously singing and worry not about the next meal-Luke 12:22.
