Christians, are you active in the battle between good and evil?

Question

Do you consider yourself a soldier of God? Do you follow Jesus' example of uncovering evil when you discover it, and use his tools to minimize the effects of the evil on others in your everyday life?

There are several servants of the unholy master who flood this area with his poison. I've challenged one (or rather, God has challenged him through me as his tool) on several of his "questions" this morning, and I doubt I'll have to name him, because I expect he won't be able to resist "replying" to this question.

Do you, Child of God, consider yourself a member of his holy army? Do you allow God to use you as his tool to challenge evil wherever you find it? Are you serving God, as I try to, by patrolling these boards, and protecting the easily mislead from Satan (and his followers) evil influence?

Jim-darling (er, darwin), there's a line between asking a question and doing Satan's work of leading people away from God -- look behind you to see where you crossed it.

Tom -- is that you? My x-husband has again graced me with his presence? When I called you "spawn of Satan" I didn't mean it literally -- I was just angry. When did you decide to take it literally?

Just checking -- the spreader of on-line "doggie-do" hasn't made his appearance yet.

Michael S. -- interesting response and challenge. I actually spend very little time on-line. IRL, I am a minister in my community, and have been active as a volunteer on suicide hotlines, with homes for unwed mothers, and providing services for (and fighting for the legal rights of) the elderly, handicapped, and single mothers.

What do you consider to be service to God, and how do you do your part in the battle between good and evil? What do you suggest that I add to my own life to make my part in the battle more effective (and no, I never tried "to rate the content of the music and video game industry")?

And, finally, why would one Child of God address another with such disrespect and scorn? Aren't we supposed to be "on the same side"?

Answer 1

You bet. Spiritual Warfare, time to be on the offense and no longer the defense. Weapons, Banners, shofar, fasting, praying, praying in the Spirit

Answer 2

To claim that ‘patrolling these boards to protect the easily mislead from Satan’ is spiritual warfare is like comparing watching your favorite pro franchise sports team on TV from your couch and calling it exercise. While to do either may boost your sagging ego, provide you hours of recreational bliss, give you warm emotional ‘fuzzies‘-especially when your team scores or wins, but in both the short term or long run neither has nothing anything to do with reality. Spiritual warfare is waged in the heavenlies, against the dark forces assembled therein, and not against flesh and blood; and certainly not against the straw men arguments posted on Yahoo by the foolish, ignorant, superstitious, anti-everything questioners and respondents. If you really want to be a ‘tool’ in the hands of the Master or a ‘soldier of God‘, as you claim, then consider volunteering for the front lines in the only true ‘Army of One’ and serve Him by fighting on your knees and not just in your mind. As to the answer from another ‘warrior,’ fighting the multitudes of wicked spirits with ‘banners and shofars‘; it may be an effective weapon: The evil spirits are so filled with laughter and jest that they cannot war as effectively as they might. Good strategy, taken, no doubt, from the play books of the foolish, carnal Charismatic Christians around the world. No wonder we not only have the scorn and ridicule of the hosts of demonic powers in the unseen world, but that of our hosts here in the visible world as well. What’s next? Trying to rate the content of the music and video game industry? Oh, I forgot, you’ve been there, done that. Thanks for nothing in your valiant, courageous service to the Kingdom of God. I'm sure Satan is impressed with your zeal and efforts "to challenge evil wherever you find it", even if YHVH is not.

Answer 3

at the start do no longer placed too lots emphasis on the scientific appropriate solutions except you haven't any longer the different selection, because of the fact lots of the those that supply them to you're the two hasty to diagnose you and or are ignorant that those variety of issues exist. the final ingredient you're able to do is pray, and understand those varieties of issues for what they're. God's awareness supply you the fringe of understanding the instruments that those beings use on people additionally. One final ingredient, any variety of comunication with them will purely make it worse, and can furnish them the final to rigidity or carry those varieties of concepts into your head. FYI: as many people say that "demons do no longer exist" this may be a scientific tactic that for the time of certainty has the comparable result as medicine that's to suppress the indications and not manage the muse reason. So in different words a psychological concepts trick which will purely "mask" the concern on an identical time because it roams unfastened unchallenged

Answer 4

I try to be a good soldier for God, but sometimes when you find yourself wrestling with a pig, you discover that the pig likes it. Our jobs as Christians is to lovingly inform people of the good news of Jesus, which I do as much as I can. Some people, knowing or unknowingly, choose to serve Satan, or to not believe in God. That is their decision to make. All we can do is pray for them, and not be baited into anger. God Bless all of the soldiers, because the war is very, very real.

Answer 5

I must be careful to not assign power to a force that doesn't exist. There are only people moving away from God with behavior that contradicts the creative energy that's within them. When we have thoughts that reflect hatred, judgment, and exclusion, we're moving away ourselves. It's imperative for all who seek an inspired life to access the direction of their thoughts and behaviors in terms of going toward, or away from God.

Answer 6

"or rather, God has challenged him through me as his tool" Yer OK. Prove it. I think you are just saying that for every thing so if you make a mistake you can blame it on your precious god. It's time for you to accept responsibility on your own. Say no to jesus.
