Is there a spiritual war

Answer 1

The War of Ages

Synopsis: Without faith, it is impossible to understand or defend

The War of Ages is the greatest war, and it is happening in the spiritual realm. We are in the midst of the late stages of a long, drawn out, and gruesome war against the human heart.

Objectives:

To fight and win the war against all enemies of the human heart

To take darkness into captivity by the power of the light element

To restore one nation in truth, justice, peace, and honor to the one true king

To establish Zion as a capital city of the chosen elect, the blood legion, who were made pure to enter the kingdom of the sons God loved

Mission:

Set your eyes toward Zion, Jerusalem, where the restoration of Israel is with those who are in Absolute Truth; do not be alarmed when the truth of this war is revealed, but be strong and courageous in the face of all evil. Learn to wage war until there is war no more, when the New Jerusalem is firm and established at Mt. Zion.

New Recruits: Many are called; few are chosen.

If you ever felt the "call" to be something "special" or to do something outstanding, this is the chance of a lifetime, and maybe the only chance you'll ever get to be a real "Hero."

Many men are called to discover the "blindingly obvious" yet hard to see -- spiritual war. These men must learn to fight and become warriors; not all survive. This is not as easy as it may seem. There are more aspects to the role you will play in this spiritual war, but whether you believe it or not, this war is not fantasy; it is the scary truth. If you choose to accept this, then by default you now understand there is a war, and you are obligated to take action. If you turn around now in disbelief, it will be your own demise, and no one will be there crying; it's your funeral, you decide. By turning your back, by your own admission you are saying no, I will not, and you are rejecting even the possibility of this being true. Nevertheless, you will be subject to this war.

Don't fear, because your mission will not be too much for you to handle, yet it is critical to the success of the war for peace. Fear and doubt are not acceptable, and those who doubt there is a "spiritual war" will not qualify to fight in the war, but will become injured victims and bloody casualties of it. You are responsible to keep yourself alive, to recover from battle, and continue the fight; if you bail out, you will suffer repercussions. You have been warned more than once; do not be surprised when "things" start to happen. (this is not one of those magical curses seen in chain-mailing; this is something profound, and the battle will go on with or without your help.

Scenario: Location - Earth.

All Heaven is concerned about is the condition of mankind's heart while all Hell is worried about is convincing all of mankind that there is no battle to fight for "righteousness." Here's the difference, suspended between the two is the earth, inhabited by man, who for the most part have no clue what is happening around them. Heaven and Hell know what is happening, but mankind is the only element that has to rely on faith to understand the truth. Everyone in creation knows that God is who he is, but man struggles with this notion, seeking answers to difficult questions. For this reason, judges, prophets, kings, and warriors have been sent out to establish the truth about God -- giving light to the future, and paving a path for the age to come.

Whether you want to fight or be a coward, the war will still continue to the end. This war is very real, even more real than what happens in the physical world. The spiritual and invisible influences the physical, for this war leads to a very real physical turmoil and always captures victims to put to death. Much will be learned about this on your journey.

Weapons:

First, know that all the attacks of the enemy are aimed at "proving God is not to be trusted" and that "the one true God is not to be associated with." It may seem dumb, but this is critical to understand. The deception of religions, the divisions and wars against "spiritual laws," the fight against "spiritual oneness," and the war against truth -- all come to show how well this strategy has misled humankind away from the knowledge of the truth.

You must use weapons of "the light element" to fight darkness; learn the works of light and in a sense, "Use the force." There are physical elements that will come to play, but this first requires proof of faith and "membership," because not all who are called are chosen to survive or win. If you want "super-human" powers, think again -- this spiritual war does not call for wanna-be sorcerers, but will-power, nobility, strength, and honor. People die in war, but to lose one's soul is lose everything.

Background: Lucifer, the Archangel fell -- renamed Satan (Greek: Accuser)

Objective: his was to show God that man would not remain truly loyal by freewill, and that his dominion would reign against God's; that men would choose his illusion over God's invisible yet evident truth. He is called "The Master of Confusion" and "The Prince of the Darkness" of this world. Understand his position, his reason (or lack thereof), and his purpose in trying to deceive. His objective is an objection against the Most High, and those who passively ignore this war, join him in that attack.

God allows the Destroyer to run rampant, yet his dominion has been shattered already at the cross; at one time the darkness ruled the earth; this is no longer in effect, yet we allow it to override truth by our own volition. Most new recruits want to know why God lets this war go on. The answer to this question is that God is going to prove to all free will creatures that he will do justice, he will perform in all truth, and will prove faithful to the end no matter what we choose with our own will. Our faith in the invisible realm is what sets us apart from any other creature. We must choose who we will serve and believe, either one side or the other. Ignoring it will not make it go away. So, what is happening in our age is the last fight in what will be the most destructive torrent of attacks against the truth. How long will it last? Until the very end, whenever the appointed time arrives.

While the enemy's attacks are well-aimed at the human heart, we often let the war rage in our homes, churches, universities, and schools. There is a way to fight back, to become courageous, and to become so fierce in the war that Satan, the adversary, will tuck tail and run away from the power that resides in the light of the "made righteous" human heart. He is a fallen angel, and those who know, angels were created as servants of the Most High God, and lesser than man who is made in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, the might we could wield against the spiritual adversary, is more powerful than we may have thought. Certain spiritual laws are in effect, and even the enemy is subject to them.

This war has been waged generation to generation, many casualties have been reported both physically and figuratively -- when people are killed or persecuted for their faith or those who lose hope in faith and give up.

Few men through history have been chosen to act against the devices of darkness, and some of those men were killed for their great efforts in truth. Prophets and kings often spoke of this war, and even waged physical wars to establish peace. Today, the devices are still the same, but the strategy has changed since the cross dethroned the principalities and powers of this world. No longer are humans subject to the same terrors that existed in times past. However, the seriousness of the war is not to be taken lightly.

The End of the War:

The end will be announced after a 1,000 year reign of peace in Zion; Satan will be released back into the earth, will deceive the nations surrounding Zion, and will lead them to a worldwide attack against the chosen elect who reside in the city of righteousness, and against the Most High (see the book Revelation). Their end will be with fire, and the judgment will begin. This war proves that the world, even when given a second chance, will be misled by temptation and their own will. God, who at that time resides on earth, will be known by all -- but not all who lived outside that city would have permission to enter -- hence angels guarding the twelve pearl gates. These people will more than likely resent this when Satan comes back, and at that time, wage war against the city. This may seem too abstract to understand, which is why faith is required to know it; in order to have a sure defense, you must know what all this drama means in real life: people are dying, and many more are hurting; something must be done. Prophecy is accurate, yet at times preventable, that is, if everyone would willingly accept the truth and put the enemy away for good.

Answer:

Yes.

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
