Introduction
The Spiritual Warfare Handbook has been written to help each reader move from any form of desolation into a new level of abundance. From the beginning, when God saw the earth in confusion and chaos, He planned for a people who would move from chaos into multiplication. He spoke! Chaos subsided and abundance began. This is the essence of spiritual life. When Yeshua, Jesus of Nazareth, defined why He came or was sent to earth, He said in John 10:10, I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows) ( AMP ). Many Christians, and even those who are seeking to understand their earthly purpose, never realize that the One who was sent to redeem them purposed them to enjoy life. Prior to this portion of the verse, we find Jesus declaring, I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy (verses 910 AMP ). This is meant to help you enter the Door (called Christ) into a new dimension of abundance.
I have come to know the One who paid the price for my freedom. The Father sacrificed the Son to unlock all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. These blessings have amassed through the years of your bloodline dwelling in the earth. Some of your predecessors may have added to these blessings through their obedience. Some may have accessed the blessings that the Father created for them and manifested these blessings on earth. Others may have rejected these blessings and deferred them to your time to be accessed. Whatever the case, He came that you may enjoy the abundance of His blessings!
This compilation is meant to assist you as you become more and more liberated to experience freedom. When we dont sense the life of Christ flowing through us, we need to ask the Lord, What has happened to my passion? In the midst of my circumstance, Lord, did I just get tired and quit withstanding? In truth, we can pray until we are green. We can do all sorts of religious activities. But if we dont resist the enemy in the midst of that trial (the temptation toward passivity and all other temptations), and if we dont let that trial bring the working of the cross into us, then we wont really enter into the passion and fullness of life that the Lord has for each of us. Having Gods passion as we walk in wisdom and revelation is the key to protecting ourselves from becoming outwitted by the enemy.
In Matthew 16, when the Father revealed to Peter who Yeshua was, a prophecy came forth. Unlocked revelation releases prophecy. Jesus released a prophecy for ages to come: Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven (Matthew 16:1719 AMP ).
Yeshua Himself prophesied that this triumphant people, filled with the Fathers revelation, would arise and prevail against hells gates. These people will do exploitstaking resources and multiplying or changing them into a form to be used today. These people are an apostolic people. They are a modern people who very much look like the people who crossed over the Jordan River after 476 years from the time God spoke them into existence to when He communicated to their father, Abraham. The gates of hell will not be able to withstand this people. They are people who will build a new prototype for today and unlock a Kingdom mentality that hell cannot withstand. They will have centers for gatherings that are filled with the fire of His glory!
