WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME OF GREAT SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Recently I have been preaching in Alice Springs , & Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory over a number of days and the Lord Jesus was so graciously present as I shared with many of God's people. But this is what I am being impressed with ( both in my travels & coming back to Melbourne), there is a great spiritual war for those who have eyes to see & hear, particularly those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.................... If you doubt that ,then you have already been deceived.And please understand that 'spiritual warfare' is not a war against flesh & blood ( other people ), it is as the Bible suggests a sad spiritual reality of the world we live in . If you have a Bible please read EPHESIANS 6:10-18 ( if any reader does not have a Bible please let me know & I will supply one for you).
The truth is that within Australia & beyond there are so many tragic . sad , evil injustices that are occuring every day to men , women & children of all colours , creeds, genders, and age groups.
One just has to read a newpaper or watch the evening news and it is overtly , blatantly obvious that as a society none of us are in a particularly safe environment ( spiritually , physically , emotionally),. Jesus even spoke about this when He was with us in MATTHEW 24( again have a
thoughtful read & reflect), but not all is doom & gloom because despite the climate that we find ourselves in there is HOPE , HELP , FREEDOM, & SALVATION.
The way forward for you ( readers & I ) is through giving our lives fully into the hands of JESUS CHRIST LORD & SAVIOUR , for as the Word of God succintly tells us in ACTS 4 : 12 "SALVATION IS FOUND IN NO ONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN TO MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED."
So today do not be alarmed , do not be paralysed by world events, don't even attempt to misinterpret what I am merely reminding us all of ( that we are in a spiritual war). Let Jesus ' life fill & bless you and you will know His gracious ,loving victoryu.

Praying for you all !
