 The Bible teaches us in scriptures such as Ephesians 6:10-20, that there is a war,... a spiritual battle being waged for the souls of man. From the time of Genesis, chapter 3:1, through to the coming day of the events of Revelation, chapter 21:6, this war has not stopped and will continue until it is ended just as Gods' Word says.
It is on occasion that the invisible side of this war breaks into the visible world, allowing us to become aware of it's effect and existence. Like the wind blowing, which is invisible, when it comes into contact with many physical obstacles, we see the effect of it. It is the same way with the spiritual battle which is constantly, and often brutally occurring all around us.
Because it is spiritual, we too, must be spiritually minded or 'in the spirit' to notice or see the effect of this war.
I Cor 2:13. And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit].
Of course, the opposite is true for the non-believer as we read the very next verse.
14. But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
Using the Bibles references to the spirit realm and the spiritual battle, and those that refer to Gods' plan for mankind, combined with a sensitivity of spiritual things, I have begun to write about this unseen war. I believe that the purpose of this work is ultimately and intimately to confirm in us a fresh look at Gods' love. What does the spiritual war and love have in common?... Hang on, because I am confident the Lord will show us.
For one thing, it is because of such a deep and loving desire for you and I to spend eternity with The One Whom Created us, that there is such a war being waged.
I believe that this is an opportunity to draw closer, our awareness and responsibility in this spiritual battle for the souls of many people around us.
By looking into that which is invisible through the help of the Holy Spirit, combined with that which is made known in the Bible, I am led to writing about this battle from the invisible point of view.
It is a story about the struggle of one angel,... One invisible soldier in the heavenly army of God. We will share in his thoughts and his prayers as he moves from one conflict to another achieving what he was created to do for God.
We will share in his struggle with not only his enemy but ours also. I hope that "Protect's" relationship to his Creator (and ours), his comrades, those he is charged to fight for, and even his enemy will show us what we are suppose to do in this battle. His perspective, based upon what God has told us about angels, will draw us closer... not to angels, but to their... and our "Creator", Himself. Amen?
The Name of this story is called, "WORLD WAR WON"
'Protect' has been a member of a whole company of angels over a large city, heavily occupied by enemy forces. They have been in an intense battle in areas where large groups of humans have congregated under false teachings.
His specialty is in the area of confirming the Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit directly to human beings. While he has much experience at what he does, he has never been in a battle without other soldiers to help him. His time has come. It will be his greatest challenge of all.
CHAPTER ONE, THE ASSIGNMENT
Stop!,... Stop,... right here,... Yes, this is close enough. I've got to assess and prepare as much as is allowed possible. I don't like it, that I am the only one going up against these,... disgusting and vile Tormenters. And too, it seems like the Creator is the only one praying for this woman right now. It's not going to be easy. I've got to make sure my approach is just right, if I'm going to have the edge on these three.
They have been assigned to this woman, called Nancy, for some time now. The Creator heard her first prayer for help more than an earth month ago now and dispatched Artraeo to free her. I know The Creator knows what He is doing, but still,... I wish we had more of us in this region. Only this morning did Artraeo feel he could spare one of us here. He said, "Protect, go, as we discussed and remember, she is not as strong as her Mothers' Mother was, in prayer. If she is going to be of any help to you, you will have to show yourself to the human. Distracting the enemy long enough to approach her will be your greatest test. I know you will come back victorious. If I could spare others, I would send them with you. Go, in love and in the power of Him, Who Leads Us."
There they are, they haven't seen me yet. So disgusting and vile, they are. There is no fear anywhere in me but they make me ashamed to have been created from the same Spoken Word. They use to look like us, but the weight of their sin has taken it's toll. It is the same with humans that have held hands with our enemy for very long.
They have never possessed her, but I can see the toll they have had on this poor human,... Lover of The Creator. Artraeo told me that he has seen The Master weeping and praying for such as this one. They will pay for all of the lying and deception they have set before her.
I see she is clothed for sleeping and has knelt at the place she is used to communing with The Creator. She will sleep soon and in doing so, these Tormentors may leave her long enough for me to approach her.
I can hear from her prayer that she knows much from The Word, but as usual, the deception has left her without the confidence in The Word that is necessary to be strong.
Much of her prayer is to that which has only distracted her in the first place. I am well aware of who's works that is and am well equipped to deal with it. How often I have seen humans praying for the Lord to address issues that the enemy has set up as a stumbling block. When, instead, they should be praying for that which He has told them to pray for,... still, I must listen further.
Yes,... she truly loves The Creator and it is clear that her tears are not just from distress, but of desire for her Lord also. I know that is why it came about, that The Creator heard this one. If they only knew and believed how much He loves them,... even more so than for us. I must pray. Master, Creator of all things, I am here, precisely as you have foreknown. Let it be, that I may speak Your Word to Your child this very night. Let Your Word break through from me to expose the evil deception and lies that torment Your precious servant. Bless Your angel, who excels in strength, who does Your Word, heeding the voice of Your Word. "And Bless all Your hosts, Your ministers, who do Your pleasure. Amen
She is laying down now and the ugliest of them is bent down over her. I have seen this so many times before,... whispering lies and twisting the things of God.
Master, let them be as chaff before the wind: and let Your angel, Protect, of the LORD chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let Your angel of the LORD persecute them,... wait,... what is this?... yes,... they are leaving her as I thought they might. I cannot be sure for how long and I must wake Your servant and let her know of Your Love for her. I must bring Your Encouraging Word to her now.
I will touch her side to wake her. "Nancy,... do not be afraid,... Nancy, I am Protect, who stands in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to you and bring you Gods' Word." The Lord Whom has loved you and heard you has brought me to you. Please, listen to what the Lord has said!
Oh, no! She's about to... Lord, she says and falls to my feet to worship me.
Nancy!,... child of The Most High,... see that you do not do that! Please get up,... I am Protect, your fellow servant, and of your brethren who has the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, not angels! Listen to me, there is not much time! Your love for the Lord is what saved you, but you fell back on your own belief of whom you perceived God to be. Because of this you have been easily deceived by the lies and deception of the enemy. This has created confusion and doubt, leaving you defenseless and beaten down. The enemy wants to sift you like wheat.
Protect, what must I do? How can I make it up to Him?
Precious, do you not know that you are already forgiven? Our God loves you to no end! Go back to your basic understanding of who He is and write that down. Then you must search His word to find out if it is true. Once you find the truth then put it down in your heart so that it can not be taken from you.
Listen to me Precious, you must do this with everything that you believe about Him. Each time you discover the truth from Gods' Word, then stand upon that truth before moving on to the next. You cannot be shaken or knocked down from that which has been laid down in truth. Do this until I come back tomorrow night. And pray when you are not studying and acknowledge the presence of the Lord the whole while. I will not be far and I will pray also until we meet next. Ignore your oppressors until we have made ready their demise and obey the Lord until then. The Lord loves you Nancy and He will never leave you. Sleep now and remember what the Lord has said.
