Faith

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12.

The context of the above scripture refers to the life we live, having become an ongoing battle. We constantly have to contend with an opponent striving to throw us down to get their way. This causes within us deep thought, an inner vibration, all for the purpose of overcoming this opposing force or tendency. This force is one that demands certain things or actions regardless of whether they are just. It may not be just but as long as it’s legal we are required to do as we are told. The tendency is one in which our government representatives tend to or refuse to truthfully respond to legitimate questions, involving actions, demands and laws of “the force”. This is what it means to wrestle.

For the wrestling life we live is not against others, [flesh and blood] but against the magistrate, the governor, the military power, against the principle rules given, against our rights, our freedoms, against influences and jurisdictions, against the world ruler, being Epithet of Satan or the shadiness and shadows of this world, against human plots and iniquity, against lawlessness, being the forces and tendencies not subject to the Constitutional law, in high places.

During election times we “wrestle” greater than any other times because our government has no regard for our Constitution and the electoral system is completely broken. How is it broken? A two party system is meaningless when they have become in one accord with the “World Ruler” all for the love of money.

That is another scripture which we will not get into at this time. “For the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some converted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”. 1 Timothy 6:10. For we struggle and wrestle because we have erred from the faith.

The meaning of the word Epithet is a characterizing word or phrase accompanying or occurring in place of the name of a person or thing. The Epithet of Satan, being the thing, is the “world ruler”. Secondly, it is the part of a taxonomic name identifying a subordinate unit within a genus, meaning subordinates to Satan. The world ruler or world ruling party is subordinate to Satan and when others such as our government are in one accord with the world ruler they also become a subordinate to Satan.

Benjamin Franklin stated in 1787, "In whatever country this genus [subordinate] has settled, they have lowered its moral tone; have depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves; have not assimilated themselves; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which this nation is founded and by objecting to its restrictions, they have built up a State within a State and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal."

The main reason this worldly system has abounded within the United States is because the church turned from the rules of God and have allowed our government servants to become a subordinate to the Epithet of Satan. For centuries the church fought the “force’ whose intent was to undermine the Christian religion and suffered dearly, with their lives, to defend the word of God. Today, the church is a non-profit corporation and a subordinate to the world ruler. You think we are free! Well, those who are standing and defending God by proclaiming the truth are free and He will honor His word unto them.

We wrestle not against the individual servants, for we know through God’s LOVE, they have given their lives over to the “World Ruler” being the Epithet of Satan. They must be told to allow them an opportunity to turn from their wicked ways, to repent and to consecrate their lives by standing up and defending God. With such change God will enter, for He says, “The battle is mine”, but He requires loyal and faithful servants defending His purpose thus allowing them to enter into eternity with Him and not to live eternally with Satan.

Neither do we wrestle against ministers. Over a century ago, the deception as to the ruler took place and many of the churches accepted the deception. As years have gone by, the Christian religion which this nation was founded upon has been undermined. Truths have been watered down, causing the questioning of deception, to becoming inconsequential. As a result, seminaries have taught watered down “inconsequential” material thus causing preachers not to be aware of what truly is happening this very day. There are many preachers who have studied history with the Bible and discovered the deception and are now making it known, but, preachers having preached for 25 years can’t accept it, for they would have to admit they did not know. Once knowing the truth and understanding how their teachings have literally destroyed the purpose for anyone to be sure they have faith, they just can’t bring it up. I also read, studied and taught the Bible for years. But, during those years I questioned many beliefs being understood differently by denominations. Well, once you search history and the Bible and understand who is the main subordinate of Satan [the world ruler] everything becomes very clear and the truth must be proclaimed. I cannot for the life of me understand why ministers refuse to take on this disaster and make the truth known except for the years of pride. They state, how can I say that I’ve been wrong for 25 years? I am not putting them down, only asking them to look to God, for He knows they were taught incorrectly. It is time to allow the truth of God to be made known. The ecumenical system of today does not require people to “Live by Faith” only to proclaim they have faith.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall have: (a) Misdirected Love; lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. (b) Empty religion; having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof. (c) Minds open to cults; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of truth. 2 Timothy 3:4-7

Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into heaven. Matthew 18:3. One must trust in God and do as they have been told. As one does this they become as a child, wanting to remain loyal and pleasing to the parent. Once one has learned the deception and understands through God’s love, they will be consecrated within, with such depth, it will be impossible NOT to proclaim this truth. For we have no need to wrestle. One must study to show you are approved. Just learn and proclaim the truth through faith and you will honor God, for God honors faith because faith honors God.
