“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving...” Psalm 26:7 Vol. 15, No. 5 May 2006 Don’t forget this: Everything that is happening for the called-out saint today has a purpose under heaven. It is for the glory of God. He has forewarned us before anything takes place. He has prepared us before we experience the now. But too often we ignore what He has spoken and warned us about, especially today. He has told us “WARFARE” is happening. You can’t ignore it. You can’t run from it. It is spiritual warfare. We must learn there is much more to this warfare than Ephesians 6. That is our protection in times of trouble. But it does not fully explain how we are to rise up and fight this fight of faith. The Lord is revealing many weapons that can teach us how to be victorious in the fight. But it will take asking for help from the Helper. As I have been learning this over the past nine months, I am amazed how smoothly many of the battles are won because I take up the appropriate weapon for that battle. During the night I was crying out to the Lord for help. He said, “Use the weapon of the ‘sword of the Spirit.’” Well, that one is too easy. I know that is part of my daily weapon store for everyday living. But then He said, “Use it to discern soul from spirit.” Oh! That meant I was being affected by believing something out of my soul instead of by the Spirit. I find that I often am affected when my flesh rules. It is usually because I have misunderstood something from My Lord or ignored Him totally. What I had missed came from a time of doubting His instructions on a current project He has us undertaking. My soul was saying, “This isn’t possible, you have missed God.” That brought anxiety and frustration. But when I began to divide soul and spirit I could hear clearly His instructions for success. He is so good to reward those who diligently seek Him. There is an arsenal of weapons available for the church today. All you have to do is ask and listen for which one to use. It truly is a blessing of victory. In Christ,
