Spiritual Warfare (cont. 1)

August 5, 2015 by Larry Jaques Leave a Comment

In any type of warfare, variety of weaponry is essential for victory. To be successful in forcing submission from the enemy there must also be an hierarchy of leadership. Those at the top lead by word and example. Those below them follow their lead. There is also a supreme commander who has a consort of leaders directly below him. In Spiritual Warfare God is the leader of those in the right; Satan directs those who refuse to follow the dictates of God (Eph. 2:2). Those directly under God are His angels who direct those beneath them, called ministers (Rev. 1:20). Those directly under Satan are his demons who direct the activities of those beneath them called false prophets. The first tier human leaders–ministers and false prophets–lead and direct the people below them. This administrative model is not new.

In the Garden of Eden the One Who would become Jesus of Nazareth, serving directly under the One Who would become His Father, directed Their most prized creations–Adam and Eve–in the Way of righteousness. Later, They would direct the Way of Noah, a “preacher of righteousness” (2 Pet. 2:5), who ministered to those under him. Adam, Eve and Noah’s congregation failed, ultimately resulting in the eradication of mankind from the face of the earth except the eight people with whom God repopulated the earth. Though a fresh start was affected through Noah and his sons, Satan would eventually come to dominate the majority of their offspring while God’s obedient people worked to obey Him and set the example for the masses. The war between God’s people and Satan’s people continues at full force.

The Old Testament is rife with the Lord’s admonitions to beware of the bearers of false “light.” His warnings ring just as true today. In the Counterfeit Church these are Satan’s false prophets who engage in open warfare against the Lord’s Word, who prophesy lies in His name out of their own hearts (Jer. 14:14), who preach false “truths,” thereby causing others to err (Jer. 23:32), who, being wise in their own eyes, call evil good, darkness light and bitter sweet (Isa. 5:20,21), who mix the holy with the profane, thereby profaning and despising God (Eze. 22:26/Jer. 23:16,17). They are the leaders of Catholicism and Protestantism. Note that God’s prophets warned the people about such false prophets living and ministering AMONG THEM, who were speaking in His name and claiming to speak for Him. They were enticing them away from Him and into the heathen religions of the people among whom they lived. And they were successful. The hundreds of so-called “Christian” organizations who spread their false light throughout the modern world prove that Satan’s success rate has not waned.

That religious men eagerly embraced Satan’s false prophets and their seductive message is brought out in Jeremiah 5:31. Here God says through His prophet: “The prophets prophesy falsely, AND MY PEOPLE LOVE TO HAVE IT SO.” One thing the false ministers all had in common was their message of self-determination. The one thing all those who followed them had in common was their demand for the same. It was a marriage made in hell. The craving for self-exalting “truth” began in the Garden of Eden. Since then Satan’s version of “truth” (“Have it your way; it’s all good”) has been embraced by the masses craving to have their ears scratched. Their montra is: “Tell me what I want to hear and I’ll follow you anywhere.” The Lord, Who would have all men to be saved, still sends out His messengers with His Words of warning. As were Isaiah, Jeremiah, et. al., they are rejected because the people will hear only those things that confirm their heathen theologies. Like their ancient counterparts, they command that their ministers “See not; prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits, get out of the way, turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us” (Isa. 38:10,11).

By rejecting God’s Word (and therefore the Godhead-Jn. 12:44-50), modern religionists tell Him to get out of their way, to not bother them with His Bible Truths, to not send His prophets to tell them that His Word supercedes their heathen church doctrines and customs. Like Adam and Eve, they want to eat of the forbidden tree in peace. To be continued. L.J.
