Mat 26:41 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit

Here we see that the body and the soul do not agree on things. This

example is from the betrayal of none other then the very Rock of the

Christian church, Peter. What he wanted to do and what he did were two

different things and this is spiritual warfare at the core.

 

Luk 24:39 "See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me

and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I

have."

 

We can easily make clear distinctions between the desires of the body

and the will of the spirit and it's this very thing that needs to be

addressed.

 

Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face, the hair on my body

stood up. 16 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance.

A form was before my eyes - silence, then a voice I heard,

 

We've all had those moments when the hairs on our body stood up and we

felt spiritual movement but possibly a majority of us didn't recognize

this as such. It's not necessarily our spirit that is moving but in

those moments we can learn to recognize the voice.

 

Eze 3:12 And the Spirit lifted me up, and behind me I heard the sound

of a great rumbling voice, "Blessed be the esteem of ???? from His

place,"

 

Now not all voices are those we should listen too and in fact we need

to discern the messages being given to us. We must use our own

judgment because just as the Elohim speaks many times to his people,

so do those of evil spirits that would lead us away from the truth.

There is such an example in scripture:

 

Eph 6:12 Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but

against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers

of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness

in the heavenlies.

 

This is absolutely not the truth! We do wrestle with flesh and blood

and everyday, it's usually our own. You don't believe me, ask any

pack a day cigarette smoker if he wrestles with his own flesh. The

spirit is telling him to quick and he'll say, "I wish I could, or I

want to quit but I can't.." The spirit is willing but the flesh is

weak. Everyday we wrestle against flesh and blood and it's for this

very reason that the Messiah on many occasions spoke about fasting.

 

Mat 17:20 And ????? said to them, "Because of your unbelief, for

truly, I say to you, if you have belief as a mustard seed, you shall

say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it shall move.

And no matter shall be impossible for you. 21 "But this kind does not

go out except through prayer and fasting."

 

The practice of fasting, is the practice of denial of the flesh and we

strengthen the spirit by this very action. In the realm of spiritual

warfare there is no greater weapon then giving up our fleshly desires

and seeking the desire of our Father by prayer.

 

Rev 9:21 And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their drug

sorceries, nor of their whoring, nor of their thefts.

The issue of drug sorceries enters into the realm of spiritual warfare

and cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol and prescription drugs can all fit

into this category. When we consider these elements of body verses

the spirit we see all to clearly the aspects of spiritual warfare

wrestling against the desires of the body. Nobody wants to be a crack

addict or an alcoholic yet the modern world is filled with people who

suffer from these demons. Maybe you've heard the term, "a monkey on

my back" and it's spiritual warfare at the primal level. So the war

we have is between flesh and blood, the body and spirit.

A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school

for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better. If a man cannot

be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian

anywhere.

Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes wouldn’t be considered as part of the

topic of spiritual warfare normally but I believe they have a high

priority.

 

Mar 14:38 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit

indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”

 

I’ll start with cigarettes because we all know this is the most

controversial idea that I’ve put forward as being part of spiritual

warfare.

 

Cigarettes are legal even if they are considered a filthy habit and

those who suffer from addiction are sent outside like lepers into a

colony. We congregate outside your office doors in the freezing cold,

suffering to have another drag. We can’t run up the stairs without

running out of breath and yet we continue to smoke, it’s our right to

do with our body as we please….

 

1Co 7:23 You were bought with a price, do not become slaves of men.

 

You are a slave to the cigarette and are paying tithes to the

multinational corporations that sell them to you. Life is for living

to the fullest and we sell ourselves short if we smoke.

 

Psa 23:1 יהוה is my shepherd; I do not lack.

 

Can we say this with all honesty if we crave another cigarette in an

hour? We know that cigarettes are one of the strongest demons in the

Christian world. If we truly subscribe to the idea that the bible is

the temple, what are we doing polluting it with garbage? As children

of our Father, we are to set ourselves apart from the practices that

destroy and we all know cigarettes to be one of the worst. Now does

that mean that if Joe Camel is attending the church, we cast him out?

Hardly but we should do everything in our power to help him, encourage

him, pray for him and be his quit partner.

 

Mat 4:23 And יהושע went about all Galil, teaching in their

congregations, and proclaiming the Good News of the reign, and healing

every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

 

Every bodily weakness must be dealt with in the congregation and

twelve step support programs are a good start and even if it’s not

politically acceptable, we must work together and be at peace with

each other.

 

Mat 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, because they shall be called

sons of Elohim.

 

We can’t force people to quit smoking cigarettes and it wouldn’t be

right to do so, period. What I am saying is that we need to encourage

each other by prayers and by spoken word.

 

What are the net results of smoking? Less money for more enjoyable

things in life. Less money for even charitable things. No energy to

do everyday activities. Even climbing stairs becomes a labor of sweat

and panting because your unable to draw enough air.

 

Dependancy. I’ve personally was in a situation where I chose to buy a

pack of cigarettes over food and that speaks to just how strong those

bodily cravings are. So when the first thing you do is wake up to have

a cigarette, ask yourself, who is the master?

 

Mat 6:24 “No one is able to serve two masters, for either he shall

hate the one and love the other, or else he shall cleave to the one

and despise the other. You are not able to serve Elohim and mammon.

 

Filth, dirty ashtrays, constant smelling.. If you’re a smoker, you

don’t smell it anymore but the moment anybody else does come around

you or your home, it’s like a giant catbox.

 

Listen to the spirit in your soul… it’s telling us all to quit! It’s

telling us to prepare for war and your not going to be in it reaching

for souls if your more concerned with getting your next pack.

 

Luk 16:11 “If, therefore, you have not been trustworthy in the

unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?

 

One of the first tactics of the unbelievers is to find fault in you.

 

Luk 16:14 And the Pharisees, who loved silver, also heard all this,

and were sneering at Him,

Luk 16:15 so He said to them, “You are those who declare yourselves

righteous before men, but Elohim knows your hearts, because what is

highly thought of among men is an abomination in the sight of Elohim.

 

Our Father knows are hearts and he wants us to purify ourselves from

the things of this world, he’s calling you personally.

 

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, “Come out

of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of

her plagues.1 Footnote: 1Jer. 51:6 & 45.

Shalom,

He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he

has. Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else

expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
