“Spiritual warfare is a deep concern. Stay alert!

Be sober-minded and aware of the schemes of the devil and his operators.

But do not keep concentrating on him. He is a defeated foe.

In the Garden of Eden, he was there but so was I. Before the Fall he had no authority. Adam and Eve did not focus on him because I gave them My Authority.

They focused on their relationship with Me. From that relationship with Me came their task of caring for My Garden.

They did not attend a 10-month course for $2000 on Spiritual Warfare and identifying types of demons. They did not need to.

You now live in a world that is more broken than Eden. You face immense problems; some you caused and some you didn’t.

Too many of the words spoken by you are just angst, complaint, ignorant speculation and chatter without value. It won’t matter next week and will be nothing in Eternity with Me.

Stay focused on Me:

• Through Jesus you are in relationship with Me once more.
• My Presence is in you and on you.
• I have given you The Keys to My Kingdom.
• I give you My Authority again.
• I AM The LORD Almighty.
• I reign forever.
• I made everything.

That’s why it’s called Creation, kids!

I made you in My Image. Nobody made Me! Greater AM I in and on you, than that created and defeated foe in the world.

Stop focusing on problems. Looking too long at evil fuels it.

Focus on the One who solves problems!

I know how weary you are. I long to give you rest.

Wield My weapons. Wage war My Way. I AM guarding you.

Kindness and love bear more fruit than judgement and finger-pointing. Humility and gentleness, trust and openness to receiving from Me is better than self-entitlement, self-righteous anger, fear and worry, which close off your hearts and minds to My Spirit.

“The British and Irish adventurer and presenter Bear Grylls is Christian and a former SAS Trooper.

In his book ‘Soul Fuel‘ he says, “We are part of the only army where the safest place to be is on the front line — standing strong in His love and mercy, and sheltered under His arms.” (^*see note below)

Your best method of defence is to stay close to me. Focus on Me. Spend time with Me, learn from Me, become like Me and walk empowered by Me.

My light shines away all the darkness.

Fighting by My side is the best place to be.”

^*Personal Note: The quote from Bear Grylls seemed odd. I want to be clear that it was not from me, but from The LORD.

I was setting down the Word I had been given. I had most of it down and The LORD had just said to me to “put the last two sentences at the end….”

God then showed me the reference and actually had me pause to go and look it up, and Lo, it was there, just where He said it would be!

God is God in little ways and in big.
