Our  Father has given us a good purpose, to become the very  enemy of the very nature that born us! Become born again of the Spirit. Become filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking in other tongues unto our Father, God. Having the Power of God to overcome the forces of the heavenlies that tries to hinder our walk with  the Lord, and our brother's and sisters walks with the Lord.

We  have  a  grand task, to have a part to play in  the  Body  of Christ, to destroy the works of the devil in people's lives!   We are  called to be supernatural witnesses of God's great LOVE  for everyone,  that all are able to enter into the Kingdom of God  if they  will only believe!  We are to show such love that  everyone will see the Father's desire that none would perish, but all have the free gift of everlasting life with the Father God!

And with the Power of the Holy Spirit being present in our lives, we  go and stand against the forces of evil, against the  rulers, against  the authorities, against the principalities and  against the wickedness in the heavenly realms, destroying their works and setting the people free from their controls and influences.

Our  battle  ground is not against the people.  It  lies  in  our "prayer  closet"!  This is where the battle takes place.   It  is not  like  the battles fought in this world.  It takes  place in secret places,  where the people do not see or  hear  what  is taking place.  They are only changed in their ways and  thoughts, not understanding why they have changed. 

The highest form of prayer is praying in the Spirit.  The highest form  of  praise and worship is praising and  worshiping  in  the Spirit.  This form of prayer and praise brings the Believer into the "inner circle".  For the Believer has a closer walk with  the Lord,  and  can  hear the voice of the Spirit of  the  Lord  much clearer than before. So, the Believer is able to follow  instructions in the war zone, or battlefield, where there is  sometimes great confusion and distraction.

In the battle lines, the Believer needs to hear the  instructions of  the Lord clearly, so as to know what to pray for and when to pray for it.

We  know  we are our brother's keeper, helping each  other  reach their high calling, keeping them from falling in their struggles.  It is only in the spirit realm does this take place.  We have to be  sensitive  to the Spirit speaking to us concerning  not  only ourselves, but one another as well. The Believer's walk is a very serious walk with the Lord.  And it is only by the Power of  God, the Holy Spirit, can the Believer walk that pathway that leads to that  narrow door of eternal life, bringing as many with them  as will follow.

It is through many hours of praying in the spirit can the Believer obtain the measure of faith to perform the work of the  Lord! And, remember, the work of the Lord is destroying the work of the devil.   The  Believer's task from the beginning is  against  the devil.  When  the Believer becomes "born again",  the  forces  of darkness sees and watches with caution.  Then, when they see  the Believer  enters  into the spiritual realm without the  power  of God,  they rest and do not concern themselves with  that  person. But,  when they see one seeks the gifts of God, and receives  the "Power from on High", they tremble and shudder for they know this person is able to stand against, and destroy their works!

Receiving the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, is quite different than the normal "non-spirit filled Christian". The  Believer who  is  baptized in the Holy Spirit is a person the powers of darkness  has  to contend with and lose!  It is for  this  reason that the powers of darkness has entered many churches to discourage the gifts and the receiving of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  It is these Believers that have the Power of God to destroy the works of darkness, to heal the sick, to cast out the  devils, and to raise the dead!

Settle  it in your hearts today! Make up your  minds!  Enter  into the  realm  of Christianity with the Power of God from  on  High, receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Ask, and you shall receive!  Seek, and you shall find! Knock, and it shall be opened unto you! Come, Believer, today is your day to receive  the Power from on High.  Be Baptized in the Holy  Spirit in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord!

If  you have not received Jesus Christ as your  personal  Savior, and you are sure God has raised Him from the dead, and your desire to  make  Him Lord of your life, you can do so by the measure  of faith that is given unto you right now.  For the Word of the Lord says  when  one believes that Jesus is raised from the  dead,  in their heart, and confess  that Jesus is Lord, they become born of the  spirit of God. 

It is by the confession of His  Lordship  of their  life and the belief in their heart of the faith that proclaims  God raised Jesus from the dead, that the  person  becomes born again.

If you want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, come, the Lord  Jesus awaits  you!   Simply,  ask Jesus to come into  your  life,  take charge of your life and lead you from today. Admit that you are a sinner,  "One  apart from God"; and that it is only  through  the Blood  of Jesus redeeming your life, that you realize you can  be saved;  and  that you surrender your entire life from  today onwards, under His rule and Kingship. By this one can be saved and become a Believer.  Then...ask for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and receive the Power of God!

In Jesus's Name,
