The Wrong Side of History - Spiritual Warfare

[Man on Fire]

The following I may be able to teach to you. It matter for nothing unless you are of the Spirit of God.

Extrinsic vs Intrinsic -

Someone motivated by extrinsic things may be looking for attention. He is looking to please people. Looking for attention. Looking for money. He wants for something. Given the Lord is your shepherd, you shall not WANT. (Psalms 23) Someone motivated intrinsically has God. He is motivated to do things because he has a relationship with God, and he is in The Spirit of God.

Spiritual Warfare

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)

A part of Spiritual Warfare may be a war of words or a War of Thoughts. How do people perceive themselves and how do people perceive God?

I was a teacher at a middle school one day. There were students who were labeled “Bad Kids.” They tended to misbehave and act a certain way. The teachers may have been talking about them in the teachers lounge. The teachers tended to treat them like they were bad. This may be an example, on some level, of a stronghold being put on someone.

I have been a Substitute Teacher, I didn’t really care about my student’s past. I didn’t care about what other teachers said about them. For the next hour or so, they were my students. I have standards. They get a fresh start with me. They need to meet my standards. Some students had issues with self-perception. They believed that had to act a certain way. I adjusted their perception. They would behave…..or else. They do not have to be “Bad Kids.” They may choose to be outstanding and high speed students.

The label "Bad kid" may have been a demonic stronghold over someone. It affects how he perceives himself?

The following is an article on Demonic Strongholds: Identifying Strongholds

Words and how they are used are important.

The Kingdom of God

Where is mankind headed? What is the goal? In 1880, the US may have been driven by Manifest Destiny. Americans believed they had a God given destiny to go from coast to coast. The goal was expansion, and that is what drove America and many Americans. After WWII what was the goal? America had been coast to coast. A Cold War started. The goal was defeating communism. In 2018, after the cold war, what is the goal? Where is America or Germany or Russia or China headed? Where is mankind going? Were we going towards "Back to the Future" and flying cars and skateboards? Are we going towards Space Exploration? Are we going towards WWIII or Terminator AI type scenario? Where is mankind headed?

"The Left," as in politics, was built on Modernism. Modernist philosophy came to be the idea that mankind could triumph and solve the world's problems without God. Various ideologies came out of modernism. There may be aspects of these ideologies that came from Christians, but they were stolen and secularized. The goal of a Secular Humanist may be an atheistic socialist state, with no borders, that denies the Book of Daniel. (Daniel 12) Someone who votes politically with someone working to build an atheistic utopia, that has nothing to do with God, and oppresses Christians, would be misinformed and on the wrong side of history. How do we know? Prophecy is being fulfilled. God keeps his promises.

1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”(Daniel 12:1-4)

This isn't about Republican or Democrat necessarily and all the related politics. The Left is defined in the enlightenment and modernism, and works towards some goal. Someone on The Left tends to be working to build a Secular Atheist State, and works to build some sort of "Imagine" utopia that will never happen. They believe, a man like Barrack Obama, or their ideology is the Light, and they are vindicated by history? Jesus Christ is the light and the Truth. Many such people have been given over to dishonorable passions or do not know or understand what the word honor means? (Romans 1:18-32) Christians are not children of the dark, but children of light. (Ephesians 5:8)

In the video, it shows how words are used in specific ways to frame people's perspectives. Christians working to build The Kingdom of God should be using their words in particular ways to glorify God, and build The Kingdom of God.



God's Rod and Staff

The Lord is a Shepherd. He has a Rod and a Staff. (Psalms 23) The following is more explained through the articles, and looking up the Bible verses given in the articles.

• A staff that leads people to joy and happiness.
  
  
• A rod of Misery.

The Left hand may be about light. Who or what is The Light? Something else or God?

WikiLink: "God's Right Hand."

Article: "God's Left Hand"

Article: Saint Nickolas

Even though I walkthrough the darkest valley,[a]I will fear no evil,for you are with me;your rod and your staff,they comfort me. (Psalms 23)

What does it take to be comfortable between God's Rod and Staff? Man may be a servant to his sorrow or misery and/or fearful and aware of punishment.

Someone growing in Faith with God in a big way, needs to die to the self, die to the world, and be reborn in Christ.

Quora is something that has come to my attention recently. How people frame their questions may be a form of Spiritual Warfare. They are working to frame people's perspectives. Towards what Goal?

Question: Is there something more sinister about The Left and how it uses words?

I was active on /r/religion for awhile. There are Satanists who have posted there.

The following is from a Satanist AMA on /r/religion:

The Order is dedicated to the study and practice of Black Magic, that is the Art of altering or changing one’s Subjective Universe, in order to produce a similar or proportionate change in the Objective Universe, in accordance with one’s Will. Order of the Serpent AMA : religion

The Order of the Serpent acknowledges an Objective Universe. An Objective Universe is Truth or reality. They have subjective wills. They have worked to make changes on the Objective Universe or how people perceive reality.

Joe goes to a job fair. Joe meets Steve. Joe and Steve converse about work. Steve lies. Steve misrepresents himself, and lies about his work history. He states he was a manager at some business when he has really been living in his parent's basement. Given Joe accepts said lie, he may have a false perception of who Steve is. Joe may just be a trust worthy guy who looks for the best in people. Given Joe accepted Steve's lie, he may be in The Dark about whom Steve is. He has a false perception.

Satan has been known as "The Lord of Lies" and "Prince of Darkness." Steve may not have been a horrible guy. His lie misrepresented himself, and it shows a lack of integrity and honor. What the Order of the Serpent is talking about is working to change people's perceptions towards some subjective false reality. How do they do it? Some form of Intersectionality. They state they are Platonic and use plato's The Forms.

"Dark Horse" by Katy Perry may have been an example of Spiritual Warfare. Given The Order of The Serpant, what Form, like Plato's The Forms, are they working to build? The Form seems to be a Lilith type character, and working to lock up the White Horse of male Thumos. This is complicated and there is a learning curve, so if you don't understand with your first read here, it is understandable.

Thumos and Holy Fire

The Forms : Metaspiritual

As Christians we speak The Truth. The Truth hurts? Knowledge brings sorrow? Ignorance is bliss? Speaking Truth may not be popular. It may hurt. People may hate you. They hated Jesus first.

Why don't you just try joining in the other boards and getting to know the people here and become part of the Site.

You are very obviously just here "for a platform" and your own personal studies.
You are just one of many who have tried it. We get bored with 'loners.'
There is a whole Site here to explore...why don't try it!!

Thank you.

I was fired up this morning.
