Evangelist Lisa  

• I was awakened about 3:00 am the other morning with a strong urgency to read my bible.  I went into the living room and immediately got my bible and turned to the book of Proverbs.  Because after all, that’s where I can find immediate instructions, and thereby guided to other scripture passages to soothe my soul.

• Afterwards, I went back to my bed, and tried to sleep.  But, I kept hearing the phrase “fight the power”.  I realized then that the conversation was not over.  I said “Lord, what do you mean?”  And as I lay there quietly, he began to speak to me.  Of course, I had to grab my pen and pad; because at 3:00 am, I wouldn’t have remembered a thing…LOL!

• 1.  He explained that we wrestle not against flesh and blood…Ephesians 6:12

The fight for our lives is not about people, places or things.  It is about protecting our position and allegiance as a child of God.  It is satan’s goal to twist our perception and blind us to the fact that we are in a spiritual battle.  When you walk in the flesh you can’t help but to fight in the flesh.  That’s why the Apostle Paul says “walk in the Spirit…Galatians 5:16.

2.  He said, “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal…”II Corinthians 10:4-6

This is an area where many a Christian has taken the plunge.  We are so used to fighting what we see as oppose to fighting what we do not see.  You know why?  Because it’s foreign to many of us; it sounds plan ‘ol crazy.  We have to realize that we are spirit beings living in a physical body in a physical world. 

Remember the movie Ghost?  The character Sam Wheat was killed; he no longer existed in the physical world.  However, he tried to operate or do the things he always did just as if he were still alive; in his own power, what he was used to.  Nothing worked.  Until he realized that he had to change and move in a different direction to get the message to Molly.  When he finally realized what he was (dead to sin), and where he was (in the spirit realm-alive in Christ), he made the shift and things started happening.  He was able to change the course of the evil plots against the lives of others.  Now I may be putting a little much into it but I want you to get the picture.
