Your brother/ sister is not your enemy!

[prophetess m. brignac]

It is of great concern to those of us who are watchmen, intercessors, petitioners, beseechers, travailers, lamenters, and such, that we, as believers and "kingdom representatives", quickly assume an aggressive, defensive posture with one another with little provocation. I believe that we often forget that " WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD BUT AGAINST POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES, RULERS OF DARKNESS, AND SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES!" There's no argument that we DO WRESTLE all the day long, but far too much projection, displaced, and misplaced anger, offense and "saltiness" exists amongst the rank of "priests"/believers. Because this world is structured by many tiers of "relationships" and covenants, the need to communicate, "reason", "reckon", interact and fellowship with someone on some level is inevitable, and this phenomenom of assaulting those who're supposed to be "on your team" by "friendly fire" is only strengthening our REAL adversaries position and making it really simple for him to defeat us all ,by only using his weapons of "suggested/ implied, or misplaced, accusation, indignation or offense! If we were actually engaged in a physical, tangible battle WITH THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD AND HIS RANKS OF DEMONS, WE WOULD EXPERIENCE SWIFT DEFEAT and our casualties would be over-whelming without the enemy firing a single bullet, because we are underdeveloped in handling emotional or spiritual assaults, and we seriously fall short in SEPARATING THE MAN/WOMAN FROM THE DEMONIC SPIRIT OR INFLUENCE THAT IS COMPELLING OR DICTATING THEIR BEHAVIOUR!! I've observed that even the most evil, militant groups, and those within the church who entertain the same desire for destruction and chaos, to see someone lose a position, or just to wreak havoc in their local assembly because they're agitated and dissatisfied, share one thing in common" " THEY PUT THEIR DIFFERENCES AND DISLIKES ASIDE TO ACHIEVE A COMMON GOAL!" Acts 7:57-59 "Then they (Stephen's muderers who decided he should die because he boldly declared the truth, as it pertained to Jesus Christ, and for no other reason) cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears , AND RAN UPON HIM WITH ONE ACCORD!, and cast him out of the city, and stoned him and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young ,man's feet, whose name was Saul, AND THEY STONED STEPHEN,as He called upon God, saying"Lord Jesus receive my spirit." Even when we are convicted long enough to remember that we were admonished to come and "reason together" we approach the reasoning table with ungodly "attitudes", already formed opinions, made up minds that we're not giving an inch or changing our position, and often "just hoping they would rub me the wrong way today, ''CAUSE I WANNA CUSS SOMEBODY OUT TODAY!" Well the "they" that you're actually addressing, find joy in provoking your flesh, your misrepresenting Christ, your position, and your own soul salvation! Even in marital relationships, that brother/sister you covenanted to deal with,LOVINGLY, on "heaven" days as well as "hell" days is not your adversary! Get some wisdom and go after those strong-holds of rebellion, laziness, whorishness, alcoholism, violence, depression, oppression, anger,etc...! That son/daughter who's rebelling, challenging your authority, smoking blunts, having sex, bringing home babies, stealing from your wallet or writing checks on your bank account are not your enemy ! Use some of that Holy Ghost power to DISCERN the spirits, call them out by name, and go to war against those generational curses,opportunistic demons, spirits of addiction, promiscuity, anger, lawlessness, pride, etc., and reclaim your territtory, your mates, your off-spring, and relationships with your co-laborers in the Gospel. Make a determination to re-align your concepts and perceptions of "friends", and "enemies", and if you are ignorant in these areas, get yourself educated., because the Bible says ' if any man lack wisdo, let Him ask god, Who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not!" With all of the extremely advanced technology, media access and training materials available to any, and everyone today, you don't have to remain a projectle in the "glock" of the enemy! As we receive knowlege and information, we become accountable for the same and it should bear fruit, so if you know you've wrongfully attacked, disrespectfully responded, reacted in haste and in the flesh, falsely accused, or falsely believed,against aanyone within your personal scope of relationships, take the time to repent, apologize, and "POSSE UP WITH THEM IN THE SAME ARMY AGAINST A MUTUAL ADVERSARY-----S A T A N!!!!!!!! REAL MATURITY will have you taking the "high road", and even taking"wrong" when you've committed no offense for the sake of peace and to maintain a relationship. (NO, NOT TO THE POINT OF ABUSE OR MISUSE).We do all things in moderation, with Christ always on our minds, in our hearts, and governing our spirits!
