FEARLESS FAITH            or

 HOW TO OVERCOME THE fATHER OF LIES ( THE gOD OF THIS SYSTEM OF THINGS )

Hi.

I’m John.

I’m a friend of Jesus Christ’s.

Jesus Christ is also my Commander and Chief.

You see, I’m not just a Friend of Jesus Christ’s,

I am also a soldier of his.

He is teaching me what real love and real trust are .

He is teaching me what real courage is.

And he continues to teach  me.

(1) It is imperative in warfare to understand (from balls to bone, if your male), that the enemy wants you destroyed , subdued or under his control.

(2) The enemy wants to be underestimated by you.

(3) A formidable enemy knows your weaknesses, often through infiltration by pretense, or foreknowledge.

(4) The enemy wants to and will sometimes take you by surprise. Keep alert.

(5) An Intelligent enemy will not only want to attack your body but also your mind and spirit.

(6) Divide and Conquer is a principle even understood by those that have taken only Warfare 101.

(7) The enemy does not abide by your “Rules of Conduct in War”.

(8) The most dangerous of all enemies is one that you do not think you have.

If you are a child of Our Heavenly Father, please reread and ponder the above section on warfare for a few moments.-------- If your not a child of God, if your not Born Again, If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Saviour, and you don’t want him to be, Amuse yourself any way you choose but make sure that in no way, shape, or form, you harm the Body, Mind or Spirit, of any child or child of God. The consequences will be dire if you do. If you are just thinking this sounds like a warning, you are sadly mistaken. IT IS A WARNING AND DON‘T YOU EVER FORGET IT. May it be so, I ask in Jesus Christ’s name.

Now to get on with this discourse on warfare. I’ve already identified myself as a soldier of Jesus Christ’s. I’ve asked you to reread the 2nd paragraph on warfare and ponder on it. The 2nd title of this paper is How to overcome the father of lies (the god of this world). So of course, As children of God , You are aware of         

Whom Jesus Christ identified as our enemy, satan and his gang. I am talking about spiritual warfare against one of Our Father’s most brilliant and powerful created beings gone bad and the 1/3 of angelic beings he deceived into joining him. One of the important statements in spiritual warfare or warfare in

general which is often spoken, which can mean the difference between defeat or victory, is “Know thy Enemy”. This does not mean to literally know them , but to understand the enemy’s stategies and techniques of operation. I have some experience in spiritual warfare. More than many, not as much as some. I am still staggered at times by the spirit of timidity and fearfulness that paralyzes many professed Christians from even bringing up Jesus Christ’s name in casual conversation outside the “safety of the Church” , unless of course it is in a conversation with someone they know already loves the Lord . I want to address the adult Christians, about what satan utters concerning the children of God, not just you adult children of God, but about Your Children, you know, the ones forming in the womb,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,and15 plus years of age. If you won’t pray for boldness for yourselves, perhaps you will pray for the boldness and courage to fight for them.

In one Battle against some master spirits of satan, in which I had been given the privilage of participating, after thier apprehension and during thier interrogation they confessed to thier roles in satan's plan and shared just how

deep his hatred of God’s children is before being sent to the place prepared for them. Some of the Quotes were written down ,some I remember exactly, some I remember but probably not exactly , but I think you’ll get the general idea of his hatred and ruthlessness towards us.

satan utters the following statements  to and about the children of God and thier children:

I wish you death and suffering.

I am Cunning, Baffling and Powerful.I am like God.

I have caused suffering and death for millions and millions and millions, and I am pleased.

I love pretending that I am your friend.

I give you great luxury and great comforts to enjoy as millions and millions wallow in despair and you believe me when I tell you that you deserve it all, fools that you are.

I love to make you hurt.

I love to hear you cry in hopelessness.

I love when I can make you so numb you can niether hurt nor cry. When you can’t feel anything at all, I am pleased.

When things go right in your life, and you say you don’t deserve joy, it pleases me to agree with you.

It pleases me when together we destroy all the good things in your life.

It pleases me when you don’t take me seriously.

I hate you ,I hate all of you.

I wish you all death and suffering.

Without me, death ,disease, and suffering would not have been possible. and I am pleased.

I love when you blame your God for my handiwork. it pleases me.

(end of “quotes” from satan).

( these are but a few of which I have heard)

Be of good cheer, Jesus Christ’s Return draws near. It is now 24 hours of time nearer than it was yesterday. Stand up straight. Lift up your heads. Be Bold. Do not be afraid. In the WORD, How many times were the children of God told to not be afraid or to fear not? In the WORD, How many examples are given that show we can trust OUR LOVING SPIRITUAL FATHER? In the WORD, How many ways does it show us the incomparable, limitless, unparalleled, glorious, matchless, righteous, incomprehensable and invincible ways that Our Heavenly Father is working behind the scene for us. And in front of the scene for us.  Jesus Christ promised to be with us even till the end of the age. The Holy Spirit dwells within us. Don’t think that you can battle satan and his gang in the flesh. Just a little comparison for you to contemplate. If you compared satan’s intelligence and capacities to the size of our local solar system, the most brilliant of purely human brains could be then compared to the size of a grain of sand on the beach ( In a creation of well over 50 billion Galaxys ). Our only hope is OUR FATHER(Jahweh), His SON(Jesus Christ), and His SPIRIT( The Holy Spirit). And no one gets to the Father except through his Son.. And he’s coming back.

I started out to write a brilliant treatise, perhaps the most brilliant ever written, on how to have Fearless Faith and overcome the father of lies( the god of this system of things). It was going to be book length almost. People would read it in awe of my wisdom and insight. People would look up to me with honor and respect . 

I was taken by suprise ( #4) to realize that I had given time in my mind to Vain imaginings, or imagining the glorification of self ,a topic which the Word addresses specifically. satan and gang spend considerable time in vain imagingings and Glorification of self. That time that I wasted could have been used in effective spiritual warfare. Holy Spirit led warfare. Oh DEAREST HEAVENLY FATHER ,  By your HOLY SPIRIT Thank you for protecting Your True Children from the waste of time and deceptive lures of vain imagingings and self-glorification. THANK YOU!!

 I,ve come to the realization that it would be ludicrous to write another book on fearless faith and how to overcome the father of lies( the god of this world), even if I could.!! It would be redundant. It’s all there in the Word!!!! Read it!! Study it!! Live it!!!And do these things together!!! The children of God are all a part of the Body of Christ.  All we are asked  to do is our part.  And Our commander and Chief, Jesus Christ , through the Holy Spirit will bring us all together to fit into OUR FATHER'S PERFECT PLAN. Oh, What a Glorious Day awaits those children of God , that will trust and obey.

                                                  Your sometimes Very Ludicrous Brother thru Christ,
