Sounds like Eph 6:12!

Comment by DAVID SERVING JESUS on January 25, 2010 at 1:59pm

A voice in the wilderness:

We all know that we are not praying against human beings. We are praying against evil spirits that are in them.

Love your neighbor as yourself. Pray for your enemies. As you do so the Lord that lives sin heaven will reward you in a special way I have the experience this.

Serving Jesus,
Prophet David P. Chinedu

What do I do if I have committed sexual sin?
Christians are not exempt from sexual sin. If you are such a person who has fallen into fornication, adultery, pornography, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, or any other sexual deviation, then you need to stop. You need to confess your sins to the Lord and break off your relationships that lead you or tempt you into further sin. This may be hard to hear, but it is what is necessary.
The sexual drive is a very powerful one. It is so strong that it can alter a person's thinking and emotions. It can harden the heart and move us to irrational and sinful decisions. God has created sex for the marriage bed and for there alone. He wants you to be pure in mind and body, reserving the sexual union for the proper context of marriage so that you might properly honor God and your spouse. Failure to do this is to commit grievous sin. But all is not lost.
There is forgiveness in Christ
All of your sexual sins can be forgiven. The blood of Christ is too great to be defeated by your sin. Jesus paid a great price on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). He shed His blood and gave His life and if you are a Christian, then you have been bought with a great price. You are not your own and the Lord always longs to fellowship with you (1 Cor. 1:9). All you need to know is that you must confess your sin to God and repent of it. This means you stop doing it. You are called by God to purity, not to sexual immorality.
• 1 Cor. 6:18, "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body."
• Eph. 5:3, "But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints."
• Col. 3:5, "Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry."
• 1 Thess. 4:2, "For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God."
The Greek word for "immorality" is porneia which means illicit sexual intercourse, i.e., fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, etc. The English word "pornography" is derived from this Greek word. So, you can see that God desires your holiness. After all, this is why you are a Christian, to honor God, glorify Him, and live for Him.
To repeat, if you are in sexual sin, stop it, confess it, break off tempting relationships and situations, and seek the Lord. If you fall again, then go to the cross again. Never give up going to Jesus and receiving the forgiveness that you need. Never think that the Lord Jesus will stop loving you. Never doubt Him. He loves you and knows your struggle.
Then, after you have repented, see if you can find someone to whom you can be accountable. Find someone trustworthy and have them pray with you regularly. It is so true that sometimes beating sexual sin cannot be done alone. Sometimes we need the strength of the body of Christ.
What if I don't repent of my sin?
If you are a Christian involved in sexual sin then you know that the Holy Spirit has been convicting you. If you feel no conviction, then you are either not really saved or are so hardened by the sin you've been committing that you are close to God taking your life. This is the case in 1 Cor. 5:5 where a man was having sex with his father's wife and he would not repent. Paul said, "I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." Rest assured that God takes this seriously. He will take your life to save your soul. This is a loving move on God's part.
If you are reading this, then the Lord has directed you here because He wants you to know about this issue. If you are in such sin, you know what the Lord requires of you. If you are not in this sin, then thank the Lord for His mercy and continue to seek the Holiness of the Lord.

What unforgiveness actually is

Unforgiveness is actually a form of hate against another person. If a person hates somebody, it is a sign that the person is lacking love in their heart. Why? They are not firmly rooted and grounded in the love of Christ, and Christ's love is not flowing through them. As simple as that sounds, that's how it works.

What somebody may have done against us is one thing, but if you take Satan's bait of unforgiveness to heart, it will do much more harm than they did. Do you want to continue to allow their mess to trouble you even more? Have they not done enough damage? Allowing yourself to hang onto hard feelings and become bitter is only causing your wound to become even more infected spiritually. Honestly tell yourself, what good is it doing you to hold onto the hurt and bitterness that the enemy has tried to plant within you? It is doing nothing but harm, and is holding you in bondage spiritually. The only reason you are holding onto those feelings is because it feels good inside. Don't let this fool you, bitterness is known in the Bible as spiritual poison:

Acts 8:23, "For I perceive that thou art in the gall (poison) of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity."

The reason Satan wants you to hold onto that bitterness is because it is poison to your soul. Jesus said that the devil came to steal, kill and destroy. Satan wants to do just that to you. Know wonder Satan makes unforgiveness 'feel good'... he wants your soul to be poisoned!

Don't let him do this to you... stop him dead in his tracks! Release yourself from those hurt feelings, and let them go... stop holding onto those feelings, and let that poison out of your soul!

Be Strong In The Lord

Ephesians 6:10 -11
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."

When I consider the majesty of Almighty God, and the power of which He is, I am overwhelmed. He created the heavens and the earth and the majesty of the stars, mountains, valleys and all of nature. He is truly God. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, He leads us step by step on a narrow path. We learn to understand His love for us, and how He willingly teaches and protects us.

As we grow in faith and trust in Him we are often challenged to the depths of our spirit, and are called to stand firm in that faith and trust. We are told to "be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."
But, what does that mean to be strong in the Lord? Many times we fall because we really haven't learned that to be strong means to be aware of how weak we are. That the battles that are fought are battles that we in ourselves cannot fight, but rather, by clinging to the Word of God, and resting in Him, we know that the battle is already won. His Word has so many promises, and we know God will never break a promise.

We must learn to trust Him completely, because He knows and understands all that will befall us. He has promised to be our refuge and we are not to be afraid, no matter the circumstances or those involved.

Nahum 1:7
The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him."

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

2 Timothy 4:18
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
God deals with the spiritual battles that rage around us. Nothing that we say or do, in ourselves, will remedy what takes place. It must come from Him. Often the circumstances of the day can overwhelm us, because we may momentarily take our eyes and trust off Him. He is faithful, and will never abandon us. He allows us to struggle at times so that we may learn to lean on Him with complete trust and acceptance of what He is allowing in our lives.

Ephesians 3:16-21
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint."

2 Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place."

2 Corinthians 3:4,5
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;"

2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Psalm 138:3
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul."

Our dependence and trust in Him must be strengthened as we see the wickedness of the world around us. We must learn to Stand! and stand firm--not being swayed--but trusting Him and being obedient to Him, without hesitation or doubt. Our rest in Him will allow our witness to reflect through; we will not be confounded or confused, but will learn to rest in the shelter of the wing of the Almighty. What safer place is there?

Psalm 71:16
I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only."

Psalm 71:1-5
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth."

Psalm 31:1-3
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me."
It doesn't matter how strong the adversary appears, or how many there may be, our God is so much more. There is nothing, nor any person, who can defeat us when our trust is in Him. He is truly all-powerful and our strength lies in our dependence in Him.

Psalm 46:1-3
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Se-lah."

Psalm 27:14
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."

Absolutely, Minister Buffaloe, Civil ceremonies require a "license," which requires one to marry with the State's permission. When we obtain this 'permision' we should ask ourselves; What are the 'Spiritual' implications? Gen.2:18:24
Everyone in "Christian" circles and some outside, will confirm by scripture that 'Marriage' is ordained by God and is a God given right according to scripture.
With God, Marriage is a three fold cord, not a 'four-fold' cord. So we see that
the "License" has far reaching implications, as it refers to "Jurisdiction."
As an aside, one of our early Presidents was said to have been Married without a Marriage License. According to Scripture, marriage is to be governed by 'family.'
The state has jurisdiction in certain cases such as; divorce or crime, again, the implications are 'far reaching.' All couples should decide before hand if they wish to form a union under God, or under man. Thus the confusion about who can, is, or is not! Un-Holy Matrimony may be the word as it applies to God governing or someone else. There are many "Christians who may already have 'Married' under these conditions as mentioned, who weren't enlightened concerning the Word. Every situation is different, but God is the only constant.
Agreements are made in Marriage and where there is confusion,one or the other is breaking those agreements.
Once entered in prayerfully and "Spiritually" Gods Divine plan and purpose should be met. Ephes.5:28:-30. What we see is a lot of people in 'Marriages' hating their own flesh, malourished and unloved, unbonded, desiring "strange flesh. Matt. 19:6 Unequally yoked individuals Heb. 13:4 Righteousness can not have fellowship with unrighteousness. It is called "darkness." 2 Cor. 6;14,15
PRAYER
Lord, we repent of wrong thinking, actions and speaking concerning marriage and ask that you renew a right spirit within your people. We ask in Jesus name that you move by your Holy Spirit at this hour to reveal your truth to those contemplating marriage and concerning marriage. Open spiritual eyes, and impart understanding, bring exposure, light and healing in those areas. Bind up hurts and heal wounds that have been brought about by lack of knowledge and have caused your people to perish. Minister health and healing to the broken hearted. Your Word is your will in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth we bind the spirit of division, separation and divorce and loose it from your people, your church now in the name of Jesus Christ, by the authority given us in Jesus name. Luke 9:1, 2 Psalms 91:13
We are overcomers through the blood of Jesus, and the word of our testimony. We speak life, health, healing and restoration by the power of Holy Spirit, in Jesus name. The gates of hell shall not prevail against Gods Church, it is written. Matt.16:18 Praises be to Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I've come to understand that the sanctity of marriage has been usurped by the government. A great many marriages are performed in civil ceremonies. There is no counseling with a pastor, often the couple are engaged in sexual activity prior to the civil ceremony. I don't believe that this can be defined as "Holy Matrimony". God was given little if any consideration in the process. The government strives so hard to strike a balance keeping church and state separate that people are confused about the divinity of Holy Matrimony. So what do you do when you become saved? What do you do when you discover that you are unevenly yoked with a mate who is caught up in this world (such as Lot's wife). You try to get the marriage on the right track, but how long do you try without much success? Then you may question the relationship from its inception. We are all born in sin and shape by iniquity, can you "fix" what was never in God's will? It seems we spend a lot of time trying to fix what never should have been in the first place. Many pastors and counselors will advise a couple to work to save their marriage, and the troubles continue to mount. Though they may be sincere the prayer should not be to save the marriage, the prayer should be that God's will be done. What's been joined by God, let no one put asunder. What's been joined by the state is a whole different matter.
