Israel, a nation, who because of unbelief was not able to receive the
promises of God, because they lacked faith. Only when they believed,
could they enter, but the faithless generation was kept out. In the
same way today, many “born-again saints” fail to receive the blessings
promised because of disbelief. We do not believe God is strong
enough, to overcome the strongholds in our life. Before Israel was to enter the Promised Land, Moses had the nation of
Israel send out 12 spies, into the land to see what the cities were
like. The twelve spies reported what they saw; the land was too strong
to take, cites were fortified (Strongholds) and large, inhabitants
were giants. You could almost see the struggle, the faithful minority
versus the faithless majority. The people were so beaten and fickle
in God’s ability they would have stoned Moses, if the God did not
arbitrate. God would have destroyed the faithless generation, but
Moses interceded. God instead allowed the generation of faithless
Israel to wander the deserts of Sinai and die there. We must
remember, this rebellion follows the miracles of Israel’s freedom from
Egypt, and their seeing God’s existence leading them in a cloud by day
and a pillar of fire at night. Israel’s plight illustrates a point, when we reject God’s promises
because of unbelief; we end up drifting in a wilderness, because we
refuse to take God at His word. This is the reason we need to put on
the complete armor of God. Thus waging war in the spiritual realms
illustrates events in the material. Ancient part of history, putting
walls around your settlement was a common occurrence throughout the
earth, as humanity spread. The importance of the walled city
diminished as technology became more invasive. These grips can be
called as the stronghold points, which are hard to defeat. This
picture of the physical stronghold is used to represent the spiritual
stronghold. Spiritual strongholds are represented in the same way as
physical ones. They are points of operation, where attacks are waged
on remote areas. They become points of disgusting operations, which
are hard to remove, unless intensive effort is made to remove them. This is exactly what does it mean to wage a war in the spiritual
realms? This might be a hard concept for some to understand. First
waging war is a spiritually mature undertaking, only by understanding
the deeper aspects, learns about the battle raging all around. Only
those who pursue the deeper doctrines of scripture can expect to
really understand and be engaged in the Spiritual War. Secondly,
waging war requires someone to recognize the signs and our position;
we have to be prepared to take His declaration and act. We have to be
willing to clear the stronghold and traps in our way. Satan’s goal is
to prevent the believer from winning in the war against his realm.
Therefore, to reach the point of waging war require someone who
pursues vision, someone who is prepared act on their authority and
position. Here we stand in the midst of a fallen world, while the spiritual
battle rages all around over the souls of humanity, as Satan works to
keep lost humanity from finding rescue, blinding those who are
freezing, prevent the saints from reinstating the realm of god
through a catalog of weapons and tactics. The reality of spiritual
warfare can be a shock. But if you see the books of all religion it
has primed us to anticipate the war and the attacks. This is the
understanding of the present Kali Yug or the end of a era. The
spiritual war is been on for some time now and each of us can be a
part of it as mentioned in my previous articles of this month
