Are We Really In A War?
In order to claim the victory that has already been provided to us through the sacrifce of Jesus Christ on the cross, we need to acknowledge the reality of spirtual warware and train to use the tools/weapons God has provided for our protection.
Sutherland Springs - Christians Slaghtered
Christians are not helpless
In the wake of the slaughter of dozens Christians in in their church building in Sutherland Springs, TX, we will focus in the coming weeks on Spiritual Warfare.
As the onslaught on Christ and the assault on His followers continues in politics, society, even in traditional churches, God-Waves focuses razor sharp on equipping you to defend yourself against the enemy and claim the victory that is already been given to us through Jesus Christ. We are not victims - we are the victors!
Join me today on God Waves as we prepare and engage in Spiritual Warfare. As Christians, we are not helpless - we are not defenseless - we are born again into the strength of God.

The Armor of God:
Ephesians 6:10–18 (KJV 1900)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
13 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.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Why then Do SO Many Christians Giving Up THEIR GUARANTEED victory?
Because many traditional teachings do not focus on or even acknowledge the existenc of the enemy, Christians are unprepared and defenseless - being slaughtered at will by the powers that should not be.
Note that many modern bible translations even removed the name of Lucifer entirely from their false translations, insinuating that Jesus is satan - or satan is God.
Hebrews 4:12
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
King James Version (KJV)
THE name of Lucifer occurs only once in the Bible in Isaiah 14:12.
This is how we know the name of satan before his fall. Yet, the majority of bible editions shamelessly corrupt the Word of God.
Why?
Because the Word of God is the most potent offensive weapon of a Christian. When the double edged sword is turnd into a butter knife - Christian's are disarmed .

Satan is the father of lies. The deceiver - and even the elect will be deceived.
It is exponentially more difficult to defend against an unidentified enemy. It is impossible to fight an enemy that one doesn't know about. It is self defeating to declare God the enemy.
Philippians 2:9–11 (KJV 1900)
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Matthew 24:24 (KJV 1900)
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Genesis 3:1 (KJV 1900)
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
