THE FALL WAS ACTUALLY NOT A FALL AT ALL

RATHER, IT WAS GOD’S OWN CAREFULLY DESIGNED AND CONCEALED PLAN OF REPRODUCTION

Warning, this piece is long

In today’s modern age society New Truth discoveries are still being found. Those discoveries can displace previously accepted truths that in one way or another have limited or stolen better understanding to live by. New truth can mean great change is necessary and that means it is sometimes quickly covered over. In John 8:32 Jesus says, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free”. I believe it’s safe to say, if it’s not true it will in some way bring mental and possibly physical imprisonment.

One example of New Truth is this. A few years back, a person unknown to me was said to have discovered a language use discrepancy. That being, when a logger or some other individual intends to cut down a tree it is improper language to say, “I will fall that tree”. Rather, it is more proper to say, “I will fell that tree”. Even though that new truth sounds kind of off when compared to previously accepted speech, it has been widely accepted and considered by many to be more proper English.

My point. In what way did that language change from fall to fell help or liberate humanity? A change so small seems insignificant. Did that change release anyone from captivity or bo***ge in some natural or spiritual way? No. I must ask? Does any human being now wake up in the morning and say, “I am so glad we now say fell instead of fall; suddenly I feel so free, a huge load is lifted off me, I can now begin to live again”? I highly doubt anyone anywhere has had that kind of life changing experience when saying fell instead of fall.

My greater point. I posted sometime back that many of today’s widely accepted truths (biblical and otherwise) consist of truths, half-truths, assumptions, and even lies that sound good and have been repeated so many times they are now widely accepted and considered gospel truth. We have all heard the saying, “It’s better to hear both sides of the story before passing judgment, less you end up on the wrong side, then when the actual truth does come out you will look foolish". Truly, truth dispels lies as light dispels darkness.

My main point. A few years back God revealed New Biblical Truth to me. It went totally against the flow of traditional church doctrine. In fact, it challenges the very foundation upon which the widely known and accepted “DOCTRINE OF CHOICE AND THE FALL OF MANKIND” is built. Below I list the three-part seed principle that helped lead me to this discovery.

(1) Every seed brings forth after its own kind. Meaning, if you plant a natural seed of any sort, such as corn or potatoes that’s what you get. Further, if you plant a natural seed of flesh and blood you get a human baby. The same with the spiritually spoken word, (the spoken word is the spiritual seed planted) you get a spiritual outcome.
(2) Except a seed fall into the ground and dies, (be that seed natural or spiritual) it abides alone. Also known as, out of death God brings forth life.
(3) THE BEGINNING SEED PRINCIPLE: It is necessary for the beginning seed of any life form (natural or spiritual) to fall into the ground and die otherwise all future generations that exist inside the beginning seed itself are cut off from existence. They are never born and the species after its own kind goes undeveloped.

NOTE: All flesh and blood humanity first existed inside the beginning seed of flesh, the first Adam. All spirit filled and born-again believers first existed inside the beginning spiritual seed, Christ.

JESUS THE BEGINNING SPIRITUAL SEED

John 12:24 Jesus states, "Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat, (a single grain) fall into the ground and die it abides alone, but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit".

Jesus tells us a seed cannot reproduce itself just because it is a seed. Rather, death must first be present and come to the seed. If the seed dies, it brings forth much fruit, after its own kind. In this passage Jesus is about to go to the cross and be crucified/die. It’s obvious that Jesus understands he is the first, the one and only beginning spiritual seed that exists. Again, he relates to us, if I fail to fall into the ground and die the reproduction of my kind (spiritual sons) will not be possible. Further, he compares his death to that of a natural seed (a corn/single grain of wheat) to let us know this "death must come to the beginning seed" principle exists in both the natural and spiritual realms.

Please Note: When in the hands of God, and when in the arena of reproduction, death becomes an invisible reproductive agent.

THE FIRST MAN ADAM, THE BEGINNING NATURAL SEED

If we transfer the statement Jesus made along with the beginning seed principle to the first man and woman (the Adam’s) whom God placed in the garden of Eden, we realize they too were beginning seeds, because they too were the first of their kind, the only existing couple, from which all mankind would become descendants. They were the first and original father and mother of us all.

Below, Apostle Paul relates to us who the two beginning seeds were.

I Corinth. 15:45-47 Paul states, “And so it is written, The first Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam was a quickening spirit. (46) Howbeit, (however he says) that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual. (47) The first man is of the earth, earthy, the second is the Lord (Jesus) from heaven”.

In verse 46 Paul clearly lets us know, the first Adam (the first man and woman) were not spiritual, rather, natural flesh and blood beings. This strengthens the new truth conclusion. The Adam’s were at that time the only existing natural flesh and blood beginning seed couple. When we apply the principle of reproduction that Jesus gave us to the lives of the first man and woman, we find they were without choice. If death fails to come to them, they cannot reproduce after their kind. That means you and I are never born.

ALL MANKIND PLACED UNDER SIN

Gal.3:22 Paul states, "The scripture hath concluded, all under sin that the promise by faith of Christ Jesus might be given to them that believe”.

Concluded-in the Strong's Con. means “to shut up together, to confine”. Paul tells us, the scriptures themselves declare that God has shut up together all mankind under sin that Christ might be preached, and those that believe will receive both the earthly/temporal and eternal promises of salvation. Literally, that means all mankind were by God himself made sinful and shut up together, confined to the condition of sin, starting with the first man and woman. All mankind are born sinful; sin is passed down through the reproductive seed of flesh.

THE FIRST ADAM, SINFUL BY ORIGINAL DESIGN

Gen. 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image"...

Image in the Strong's under the Hebrew section relates to us the words SHADE, fantom, illusion, idol, resemblance, vain show.
The Strong’s states, Adam was formed as a shade of God. Meaning, God added shade/darkness to the mix of clay from which Adam was made. The sin nature represents that darkness. This makes the first Adam sinful by original design.

I Corinth. 1:3 States, "Christ was made in the express image of God". Express means, an exact copy, the very essence of who God was. Again, the first Adam was not an exact copy of God, the addition of sin being the differentiating factor.

Romans 5:14 Paul relates, "The first Adam was a figure of he (Christ) who was to come". Figure means, a shape, a statue, a representative figure. A statue is a figure that stands to represent. However, it does not contain within itself the internal substance of that which it stands for. The first Adam was empty of Christ's holy and sinless nature. He was not spiritual or holy.

Again, in 1 Corinth.15:45-47 Paul says, the first Adam was a living soul, a natural man, an earth man. Genesis tells us Adam could not die until the judgments were passed. Therefore, the first man and woman were first created in the state of immortality as natural flesh and blood people and could not die until the judgments were passed. Yes, they was first created in the state of immortality as natural earthlings with the inclusion of sin.

1 John 1:5 "God is light and in him is no darkness at all". No darkness or sin was added to Christ's makeup. Christ stated, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father”.

Christ was born without sin, even though he was born through the womb of a woman (Mary) who certainly had sin in her body; she too was a descendant of the first and original man of sin, the first Adam. When born, Christ did not take unto himself the nature of flesh. Rather, he took the nature of the seed from which he was born and the seed was Holy. Mary being impregnated by the sinless and eternal seed of the Holy Spirit of God.

THE FORMULA FOR THE REPRODUCTION OF MANKIND

(1) A command was given, “Don’t eat of that tree”. (2) The command was broken/sin occurred. (3) Judgments were passed. The judgment of Death was passed upon the beginning seed couple, the man and the woman. Also, a judgment of pain and sorrow in childbirth was passed upon the woman/her womb was opened. (4) Finally, God forced the Adam’s out the garden and the man knew his wife/had sexual relations and from those relations babies began to be born. Thus, the birth of humanity from one flesh and blood seed couple began. No sexual relations and no babies were born in the garden.

The command, the occurrence of sin, and the judgments were all necessary prerequisites for the reproduction of mankind. The word tells us, “God is a God of Judgment”.

THE NEW DISCOVERY OF TRUTH IS THIS. The first man and woman, did not fall or fail in any way. Rather, they walked into their own destiny and that destiny made it possible for you and me to be born and have a natural life on earth. Their death was predestined as Christ's was also. Which means, the DOCTRINE OF CHOICE AND CONDEMNATION is not correct. Rather, it is built upon the assumption that somehow the first Adam's had the ability to keep the law and resist sin.

Only Christ could fulfill the righteousness contained in the law and the only reason he could do that, he was born without sin in his body. Apostle Paul understood this when he stated, “Mankind cannot keep the law, (not even one law) it is contrary to his nature”.

The first man was made sinful by original design. God intentionally added the sin nature to the mix of clay from which he was made and the woman was taken out of him. If they had not sinned in the matter of the tree, it would have eventually been in some other.

Further, the addition of sin helped give birth to the ministry of reconciliation, in which God and man would work together reconciling mankind “Unto Himself”. Not “Back to Him” as the Choice Doctrine suggest.

Sin gave the first man Adam and all his descendants need of a savior. Sin caused the second Adam (Christ) to have purpose in the lives of the first Man, (it gave him someone to save, someone to rescue). Thereby, aiding in creating the ministry work of God in the earth. Without sin, what is God going to save you from. Without sin you could not be tempted by the devil. Without sin you have no story and no need for a savior. That’s an extreme/drastic revelation that points to a plan and not a fall. Rev. “In the mind of God, Christ was slain before the foundation of the world was laid”.

The commands God gave, "Be fruitful and multiply and Don’t eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil” were strategic commands. Meaning, God knows without his help (the judgments) the Adam’s can do neither.

Again, I say, the God given command, “DON’T EAT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL” was a strategic command. Good being God and evil being the devil. Surly, God intended man to learn the difference. God doesn’t just know they will break that command but certainly has plans for them to do so, and to use the outcome to pass judgments, which opens the door of reproduction.

Why does this new truth matter? It changes the legacy of the first man and woman. Suddenly, all mankind are no longer descendants of two disobedient failures. The Adam's are exonerated from all of histories human judgments, having been falsely accused and condemned due to a lack of understanding. Once more, it was a plan and not a fall/failure, the New Truth Discovery, "Death must come to the beginning seed" points that out.

Finally, I say, was I celebrated for this New Truth discovery? Was i given money, land, many gifts of great price for this liberating truth? No. Was I nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for my life’s work in releasing the Adam’s and humanity from the doctrine of choice and condemnation? No. However, as I continue in this work I am sure God has many natural and spiritual rewards on the way.

I hope you have enjoyed this piece. God's blessings to all.

THE LOST OR LITTLE-KNOWN BEGINNING SEED PRINCIPLE OF REPRODUCTION, FOR BOTH THE NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL SEED

TWO BEGINNING SEEDS

The first Adam’s, the very first man and woman, were the beginning natural seed of flesh and blood humanity. From those two natural beings, all mankind would be born as their descendants. It is a flesh and blood birth.

Jesus Christ was the beginning spiritual seed. From him, all mankind “can” be born again from above (spiritually speaking) and then filled with God’s Holy Spirit.

THE LOST SEED PRINCIPLE--It is necessary for the beginning seed of any life form (natural or spiritual) to fall into the ground and die, otherwise all future generations that exist inside the beginning seed itself are cut off from existence. They are never born and their lives are never lived out. The seed remains as one seed only; the species remains undeveloped. That's why it's absolutely vital death come to the beginning seed.

Therefore, it was not a fall at all. If the first man and woman fail to fall into the ground and die, we are never born. The reproduction of the man of flesh hinged upon death first coming to the beginning natural seed.

If Christ fails to fall into the ground and die, the day of Pentecost never takes place and that means the Holy Spirit doesn’t come to earth to dwell inside the born-again believer.

Therefore, both deaths were predestined and necessary for the reproduction of their kind, one natural and one spiritual. Further, that which has been labeled a grave mistake “THE FALL THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE GARDEN” upon which a church doctrine of condemnation has been established and accepted is incorrect. Rather, it was a well-designed plan, hidden throughout the ages, until the time of better understanding would come.

SATAN DESIRES TO DRAW YOUR SPIRITUAL BATTLE DOWN OUT OF THE HEAVENS INTO THE EARTH REALM

BLESS AND PRAY FOR THOSE THAT PERSECUTE YOU, LESS SATAN GAIN ADVANTAGE OVER YOU

ONE OF SATAN'S MAIN STRATEGIES, TO DE-UNIFY

Eph. 6:11 “We wrestle against the WILES/schemes of the devil”.

EPH. 6:12 “WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.

Eph. 6:16 "Above all, taking the shield of faith, where with ye shall be able to quench every fiery dart of the wicked".

Most believers realize, one of Satan's main strategies is to create conflict and disagreement among all people. Satan does not discriminate, all means all, that includes believers in Christ and those that are not. Those conflicts are designed to create separation and loss of relationships, which in turn causes loss of both spiritual and natural power. One standing alone has less power than two or more standing together.

Once more, certainly, you do not need to be called into leadership or be a believer in Christ for Satan to enact his power stripping schemes against you. Satan simply hates everyone and knows unity makes his job of destruction against churches, families, and nations more difficult. The word tells us, "Satan weakened the nations".

At this current time, Satan's desired separation exists within the church itself, among God’s five-fold leaders. Go to any church and most times you will not find five functioning offices. Rather, it's common to find only one or possibly two five-fold officers present and that number is considered by many to be all that's necessary for a church to fully complete its function, but that is not true. All five are needed. Could it be that believers have gotten used to settling for less than what God intended? I am sure of it.

Satan creates reason for conflict and disagreements between people. Yes, one main weapon Satan uses in achieving his goal of separation is to first create a situation that will produce disagreement that will quickly lead to conflict between two or more people. Within that conflict there will be opposing views about any such matter being used to produce de-unification. Satan does not care which opposing view is correct, he is not looking for truth or justice, only opposing forces. Satan knows conflict can be the first step toward permanent separation. To de-unify is to greatly reduce spiritual power to stand against Satan’s works. That’s one reason he attacks the five-fold and families. Satan desires to create disagreement, a dislike, a hatred so deep that separation becomes permanent, literally eliminating any possible chance of future reconciliation. Further, he guards his work, he rekindles past disagreements to help maintain his evil work. Make no mistake he is good at this.

This next section might be hard for many people to hear and may upset a few, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Please stay with me on this, the most crucial and illuminating part is still to come.

Please Note: Most people (believers included) are mentally unaware of how their own doings effect the lives of those around them. Truly, considering others first is an attractive character trait that's not often found in people.

Satan uses animals to create connflict between people. He will use dogs, cats, snakes, pigs, birds etc. He will use anything he can ride on or enter into. Truly, many people love their pets/animals, but when that love is not coupled with responsibility and consideration of others conflict can occur quickly. Not all people are responsible or considerate of others before they acquire. Just that simple. Human irresponsibility makes Satan's work much easier.

One Example: If your neighbor gets a new dog and that animal constantly barks, it's kind of like you got a new dog too. But you did not, nor did you want one. See where this is going. A dog in your neighbors back yard barking all day while the owner is at work will certainly ruin a peaceful quiet day at home. Honesty, that scenario is no fault of the dog. Rather, an inconsiderate owner.

Please Note: Instead of assuming, sometimes people just want to be asked how they feel about changes that directly or indirectly effect their lives. Sometimes that's all it takes to show honor that will not only win you a friend but also get you what you want.

Satan will use mechanical noise. Maybe your close neighbor got a new Harley or plays loud music that disrupts. I say, nothing wrong at all with owning and enjoying things, but when one fails to consider how it affects others conflict can quickly arise. Further, there are times when uncontrolled noise can lead to irreversible actions, life altering events. Knowing what I just stated to be true, why do we criticize wealthy people when they move away from such? When they buy a large spread of land, build a fence around it and lock the gate.

Many people live and function well enough in a world filled with noise, chaos and confusion. That's where they live, what they know, and where they are comfortable. Remove those and they fall apart. If nothing chaotic, dramatic, emotional or stressful is going on, they will create something, so life feels normal. Others whom Christ has delivered from such seek peace, quiet and tranquility. Satan understands that natural noise can produce a negative effect on one's spiritual life and emotional well-being, causing shortness of patience with the ones you love most.

Some people live in a world so small they seem to think everything is about them. Some are drama queens, seeking attention, yet in the wrong way. Many get up in the morning and immediately set their world on fire, then call everyone they know claiming to be victim of arson, yet they are burning their own house to the ground. They claim to seek help in putting out the fire, but in honesty they don't want it out, they just want to draw you into it. You must protect and guard your own peace and emotional well-being from those that live in and spread chaos and confusion. Ok, that's enough of that.

The word of God states, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places". That relates, we literally enter into a wrestling match against Satan, one that should take place in the heavens. Simply, it's spiritual warfare. We spiritually war against Satan’s works that are sent to steal, kill or destroy us in some manner.

Please Note: If you enter into a physical/natural struggle with a spiritual enemy you lose, immediately. Satan fully understands what I just said to be true. That's why he does not want to do battle with you in the heavenly realm.

Satan wants to draw you and the spiritual battle you are fighting down out of the heavens, out of the spirit realm into the natural earth realm. Don’t let that happen. He wants the spiritual battle to become natural, that way you cannot win. Rather, you will end up fighting a long-term natural war with a spiritual enemy. What would have been a short spiritual battle turns into a long-term natural war that will exhaust you naturally and spiritually, it's to wear you down, to keep you distracted from doing God's work and having peace in your life.

When you do battle in the earth realm against natural people that are driven against you by an evil spirit, in their eyes you become the enemy, even if you are innocent of instigating the conflict.

Please Note: There are evil spirits that encroach and trespass upon your life. These spirits can come at you directly but most times they ride on the doings of people or animals. Their intentions are to invade your personal space through distant noise or actual physical trespass. They harass by stealing your peace, your sleep, even your quiet time in your own home. Over time this can cause emotional trauma, hurts, wounds, and anger toward people. Then very soon after, the desire to migrate away from the presence of all people begins. Self-isolation.

PLEASE NOTE: This next part is very important to know and do.

GOD'S PRINCIPLE OF LOVE

Matthew 5:43-44 Jesus tells us, "You have heard that it has been said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy".

(44) "But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that spitefully use you".

As long as you restrain yourself from verbally and physically attacking your troubling situation and the people Satan is using against you, the fault and guilt remain on the side of the enemy and those being used by him. This approach opens the door for God to help you. Those people knowingly or unknowingly, have joined themselves with Satan against you to persecute you, to do you harm. Speak God's written word and blessings over the afflicting situation and the people Satan is using. Then, give God time to deal with the situation instead of you trying to resolve the problem yourself by natural means. This is your quickest way out. Then you will remain innocent and without blame. But again, as soon as you begin to physically or verbally assault the people Satan is using against you, fault and guilt begin to be transferred from them to you. Because you failed to apply what Christ said, "Love your enemies, bless them that persecute you". (Do this, less Satan go to God and be granted permission to further afflict you).

In closing, once more I say to the believers in Christ, do not allow Satan to draw you down out of the heavens to fight a war you cannot win.

Also, pray God will dispatch the heavenly angels he has assigned to your life. Let them be placed at every corner and all along the borders of your spiritual and natural habitation. Swords drawn, ready to defend against any evil spirits that would encroach or trespass.

I hope this piece is useful. God's blessings to all.

A FEW NIGHTS AGO, I DREAMED THIS THREE-PART DREAM

Most times when I dream a multi part dream I remember the sequence. However, when I woke from this dream, I was not sure of the order. Also, there was a fourth part that I could not recall.

The first part went this way. Suddenly, I was standing beside a very large wood fence post. As most people know, the normal size for a wooden fence post is 4-6 inches, but this one was much larger, even 20 inches or more. The post was brown in color. As I looked at the post, I could see it had already been placed in the ground, but the hole had not yet been backfilled and tamped down tight, the post was loose in the hole. I was standing on the upper side of the post and the terrain sloped downward from where I was standing. Perhaps this was a corner post being set to establish a natural land or spiritual boundary.

Then suddenly, standing beside the post appeared a larger than normal size man, he had both his hands on the post and seemed to be looking straight ahead, (to my left as I faced the post) as if he was lining the post up with a marker or possibly another already set post that was far away in the distance. When I say he was a large man, I mean he was much taller and had far more muscle mass than that of a normal size man. A rugged looking man he was, a he man.

Then, there appeared beside the man a helper. Now I say, this was quite an unusual site even for my dreams. The helper was very small in stature. Maybe 3 feet tall and slightly chubby. He also had both his hands upon the post as if he was helping to hold it steady. But what was unusual is that the helper was transparent. I could easily tell that he was a see-through being. Again, I could see through this little man. Further, the little man was not standing upon the ground but was suspended in midair about halfway up the post. He did not have wings as an angel would. Rather, he was simply a small chubby transparent being.

Then, as I looked at the odd sight in front of me, I either asked the man this question or I had the thought of asking the question, which one I could not tell. The question was, “What are you doing?”
Then the man turned and looked at me and said, “You don’t know what I’m doing”. At this point the dream instantly ended.

While the dream clearly depicts the building of a fence, the words spoken to me by the man lets me know that is not the complete picture. God is doing more than that. It’s something I cannot see or understand at this time. I believe it’s normal for believers to question God concerning what He’s up to in their lives. I think this dream reveals to me that He is working on my behalf, but he isn’t ready to tell me just what He’s working on nor the final outcome. Isn’t that normal life for every believer? It seems, God likes to present his work to us in finished form, so we don’t have the chance to put our hands on his projects and mess them up. I hope you have enjoyed this piece.

I will relate the remaining parts to this dream sometime later.

“MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THE LORD DELIVERETH THEM OUT OF THEM ALL”.

Isaiah 48:10 "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction".

It’s not a matter of will the afflictions come. Rather, it’s when, and how long will they stay? Will they come in multiples/waves? And, does God expect us to deal with more than one at a time?

Should I have asked, how many afflictions can anyone manage/juggle at the same time? How many afflictions can anyone keep spiritually separated while standing against? When the enemy floods in/rains down upon us from multiple directions we can become overwhelmed, spiritually disoriented. During such times our spiritual vision becomes cloudy, dark, and discernment is not what it needs to be.

(There are afflictions solely from the devil, those are meant to harm/destroy us. There are afflictions sent from God for our good, those are meant to help transform us further into Christ's image. However, the latter may be delivered to us by the devil himself. Many afflictions can last 1, 5, even 10 years or more. If the affliction/s are severe enough it will drive the believer, first to God, but if after a while no answer comes, the believer will look on further to man and sometimes any and all other possibilities are considered. Inside the affliction and the process of spiritual growth, in their early stages the believer is almost always driven until the new level of spiritual growth is attained, that new level will allow for the believer to leave off the quest for immediate deliverance as it has produced a more patient and secure faith and trust in God's timing. The believer will now no longer be driven by that which was sent to bring spiritual growth. Again, because the process itself requires time the believer can remain inside the affliction for several years).

Believe me when I say, the enemy certainly wants more than one thing on you at a time. Then, after much time and multiple spiritual attacks, attacks from many different directions that look similar but are not the same, one can feel spiritually lost, uncertain about what to do next. Then you begin to question your own spiritual judgment. What did I do wrong? Where did I turn left when I should have went straight? What decision did I make that somehow opened the door for the enemy to come in? Did I not pray enough? Did I not engage the enemy in battle in the correct way? The list goes on and on, suddenly we begin to doubt ourselves. Yes, every believer goes through times of darkness, confusion and uncertainty.

Again, one morning you wake up and realize, you have been under enemy attack from multiple sources and from multiple directions. However, you have done all you know to do within the situation/s you find yourself in. But still, at any given time during your daily walk, life appears as one big ball of confusion with extremely short pieces of clarity from time to time. There are episodes within our lives wherein God requires believers to walk in darkness for a space of time, then God will flip the light on briefly, then back off it goes.

When Satan sends one of his officers to attack you, but the attack fails to accomplish the goal, which is to steal, kill, or destroy something in your life. The next time he sends two officers to attack. They will now work in tandem against you, to give attempt to accomplish Satan's desired goal. If that fails, he will send as many as necessary, unless God steps in and says, "No we are not going to let that happen". I do not make this statement without the experience of it.

“Once you have done all you know to do, just stand”.

The scripture above is a common quote for believers. Meaning, again, it’s not a matter of if but rather when and how often you as a believer will need to simply stand inside a dark situation/s, looking to God and him only for your healing or deliverance. Obviously, for most believers trusting God to deliver is a learning process. Sadly, it becomes the process of elimination that we/all must go through. Meaning, you/we have already gone down every possible road in quest to find the answer we thought needed; the answer that would bring release from our troubling circumstance. It wasn’t that we failed to include God in our quest. But rather, many times enemy attacks can end up becoming enemy strongholds. In these situations only God knows what to do for our release. Sometimes God must work alone. Sometimes he doesn’t want our help. Some enemies are too strong for us to engage in the battle. When we engage an enemy too strong for us, we can be taken captive and held there within a stronghold until God brings release.

If one thinks about it long enough it becomes disheartening. Meaning, we have an adversary that does his best to keep God's blessings from us. Then after we get the breakthrough and receive the desired blessing, the enemy continues to try to steal it. Quite a troubling situation I say.

Sometimes we as believers try to spiritually man-handle the devil and it doesn’t turn out like we wanted. Within the Old Testament God always gave Israel instructions on how to engage their enemies. Going into battle without God’s guidance was not what God desired, and doing so produced an uncertain/mixed outcome.

Finally, live life and trust God to deliver, to heal you. Many of us may still be in the middle of our own quest for deliverance but that will soon wear us out, then we will be able to turn all control over to God. He will be faithful to deliver us out of all our afflictions and the strongholds of our enemies. I hope you have enjoyed this piece.
