How To Win Your Personal
Batttle
By Peter James from:

This is the reality of the
battle, in which ALL True Believers
are engaged. Very few understand
how it operates.
My intention is to make it
as clear as possible,
in order to enable
Believers, to be more effective warriors.
Our spiritual adversaries,
which are mentioned as being in the world,
are of a very highest
calibre.
When we are under attack we have to see beyond the person
in front of us. They are just pawns in a much
bigger game.
It is for this reason,
that we are told that our
battle is not against flesh and blood.
To get angry, and to rant
and rave is utterly pointless.
If you say ‘Go Away, I am
fed up with you’, Leave me alone,
there is no reason
whatsoever, why any evil spirit should pay
you any attention. Who are you to
order them about?
Don’t you
understand their great rank?
You have to be dealing with them, with the power and
authority
of a higher power, not a lesser power.
Because it is not normal to
see spirits, either good or bad,
it does not mean, that they
do not exist.
They are very real indeed.
It is for this reason that
regardless of where you go,
you will come across certain
people, who somehow or the
other, manage to do the very
things, which upset you the most.
How
would they know your weakness?
They do not, but the evil
spirits, who are watching you know.
You can take it, as a guaranteed fact, that evil spirits will
never
attack you on your strengths.
It will always be the things, which totally upset you the
most.
Furthermore, you will be
quite unable to understand,
how the outburst
materialised out of nowhere, and nothing,
but none the less it
happened.
Moving location, even to
another country, will never change
the type of evil spirits,
which harass you.
They cannot be omini
present, which means everywhere at once,
but they can travel from one
country to another,
in the blink of an eye.
Neither does it mean, that
they have no interest in you,
because they most defintely
do.
These are not low level, run
of the mill spirit beings.
This is why you are quite
unable to get, what you consider to be
common sense into the heads
of your rebellious families, friends,
and acquaintances.
There is a spiritual element involved.
It makes no difference what
you say.
They will always have a contrary answer, which is usually diabolical,
to put it bluntly.
We are told
that there are:
‘Principalities’,
which are the source, or
origin, the actual active cause,
and the very foundation of
all evil.
We are then told, that they
are powerful, to the extent,
that they are defined as ‘Powers’.
We are told that these powers,
are The
Rulers Of All
The Darkness, Which Is In The World.
So the darkness is not by
chance.
It has an origin, and it
also has powerful rulers controlling it.
This means that all of our
leaders in every walk of life,
are under their control. You had better believe it.
As a result we see
governments, businesses etc, making the
most unbelievable decisions,
which defy common sense,
and logic. Of course
individuals do the very same thing.
To find someone, who listens
to good advice is very rare indeed.
We are told that it is in the High Places
of the world,
that we will find all of
this Great
Spiritual Wickedness.
Ephesians
6:12 For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood,
(1) but
against principalities,
(2) against
powers,
(3) against
the rulers of the darkness of this world,
(4) against
spiritual wickedness in high places.
When we understand the
above, it means that we cannot
treat our battles as trivial. We have to realise the very great
power of our Adversary,
Satan, and all his co-workers.
Does this
mean that we should cower in fear?
Absolutely
not.
To be fearful means, that
one has more respect for Satan,
than for the Eternal God,
who is looking after our interests.
It is for this reason, that
the fearful appear before murderers, etc.,
in the following list
Revelation
21:8 But the fearful,
and unbelieving, (atheists)
and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burneth
with fire
and brimstone: which is the
second death.
It is interesting to me, how
many ‘Christians’, that I know off,
who are married to atheists.
They are not only married,
but they accept and suffer a
life of abuse, with beatings,
and they believe, that it is
normal.
Fear of their abusive partner, who just uses
and abuses,
and impoverishes them, in every possible
way,stops them from leaving
this awful
relationship.
They should not have put
themselves in that position, in the first place.
Fear of their
partner, stops them from leaving the beatings.
They should not have put themselves in that position
in the first place.
Now, it should be clear to
everyone that we have not got
either the physical, or
spiritual strength to do battle,
with the above mighty spirit
beings.
There is a
solution.
Philippians
4:13 I can do all things
through
Christ which strengtheneth me.
So, can we
just sit back, and say, ‘Well Christ will sort it all out’.
Absolutely
not.
We should make a great
effort to condition ourselves,
with positive thoughts, like
the above scripture.
My next document quotes the
related verses in Philippians.
Instead of thinking of
negative things, think of the positive things,
and the many blessing which
you have, and additionally always be
giving thanks for all these
things.
Philippians
4:8 Finally, brethren,
whatsoever
things are true,
whatsoever
things are honest,
whatsoever
things are just,
whatsoever
things are pure,
whatsoever
things are lovely,
whatsoever
things are of good report;
if there
be any virtue,
and if
there be any praise,
think on these things.
There are
two things, which we have to do,
in order
to cause Satan to flee from us.
(1) The first and very critical thing, is to submit ourselves
to the Eternal God.
In reality
few want to do this, as they feel that they know a better way.
Therefore
they will do, what they deem to be right, in their own eyes.
The guaranteed result will be failure, and a disaster.
Judges
21:25 In those
days there was no king in Israel:
every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
If the Eternal God tells you
something directly,
or through a genuine servant
of His, and these are very, very rare,
you should obey, what you
have been told.
If you see something in the
Bible, which you think you understand,
which is affecting your
life, wisdom decrees that you should seek counsel ,
as it is possible for you to
be mistaken, and you are apportioning blame
to yourself, when this
should not be the case at all.
It is
critical, that by testing the spirit of your chosen ‘Servant of God,
that you know by not just their words, but by their deeds,
that they are genuine, and
not evil spirit driven, False Ministers,
masquerading as servants of
God. There are countless thousands
of such people.
This applies to all
relationships as well.
If a
person says one thing and does another, be exceedingly careful.
Never
make any decisions by your emotions.
It is the surest way to have a disaster.
This
applies to any type of relationship, whether it is family, friends,
or a
partner.
There is a false minister, and/or a false church
already in place, to deceive every type of person on the planet.
This person or group, will always appear as an angel of light.
Believe me, I have met many
of them.
You would
believe that butter would not melt in their mouths.
The
reality is that they have been vindictive and exceedingly vicious.
I am quite
sure that some would like me dead, if it only was in their power,
to
eliminate me.
2
Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel;
for Satan
himself is transformed
into an angel of light.
2
Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is
no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according
to their works.
(2) We have to resist
the Devil.
This
means, that we have to actively reject all of the thoughts
and
ideas, which Satan puts into our minds.
James 4:7 (1) Submit
yourselves therefore to God.
(2) Resist the devil,
(The Result)
and he will flee from you.
Having laid the ground work,
we will now look at the application.
I will now introduce you to
a tree, of which you might not have heard.
It is a tree from the
tropical forests. It is called Tabonoco.
These forest giants often reach a height of 100 feet (30 m)
and have a diameter of 40 inches (1 m)
During a hurricane, they can lose their leaves and their
branches,
but in spite their great size, they very
rarely get blown down,
even by the most severe hurricanes.
This is the root system
above the ground.
This shows the massive size of the roots above ground.
There are many below ground as well.
I
have been advising everyone to reject all negative and accusative thoughts,
because
they are not from the Eternal God.
By
definition they are from Satan, though of course you do not see him.
Revelation
12:10 And I heard a loud voice
saying in heaven,
Now is come salvation, and
strength, and the kingdom of our God,
and the power of his Christ:
for (Satan)
the
accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before
our God day and night.
Christ said that at His first coming, He did not come to bring peace,
but a sword.
Matthew
10:34 Think not that I am
come to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace,
but a sword.
In front
of you, you are seeing your friends, family and associates.
Matthew
10:35 For I am
come to set
a man at variance against his father,
and
the
daughter against her mother,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew
10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own
household.
Do you
believe that Christ was just having a vindictive moment,
when he
said the above? I just want everyon killed !
Mark
13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to
death,
and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents,
and shall cause them to be
put to death.
No, it is simply the result that one is called, and the other
is not.
This verse gives the reason why. This is the reason for many
of
the arguments, fights, and general unpleasantness.
Each
person is trying to show the other, that they are smarter,
than
them. It is an exercise in vanity.
This
is the crux.
It
is because we serve the Eternal God, that we are bitterly opposed,
and
hated.
Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake:
but he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved.
This is a very hard thing
for believers to accept.
I have seen it many times.
This will work for either
partner, who is called.
The Eternal God calls a
wife, and she absolutely believes,
that the Eternal God will
also call her husband, at a time of her choosing,
because
she is praying for this to happen, and of course, the Eternal God,
has to
answer all her prayers, she believes.
Everyone
has his/her appointed time, and that is the end of the matter.
After what is considered a long time ,the husband
has not been called.
The result is that the
husband and wife, find some port in a storm,
where they feel, that they
are now united and ‘Saved’.
Disillusioned
the called person, who has touched the Truth,
is
now conditioned to accept any church, which will accept her,
and
her husband on equal terms, as being ‘Saved’.
It might well make them feel
very good,
but in reality, it is a
tragedy.
They lost the battle.
They did not have the
wisdom, and the blessing to see
Satan’s snares.
Let us return to the
‘Trees’, and what I will call “The Tabonoco
Trap”.
I have often explained that whenever, we get a negative
or an accusative
thought we should reject it immediately.
If we accept this thought, just like any gift, which a
friend might give you,
it becomes yours.
This is
nothing short of catastrophic.
Once this thought is accepted, it will literally take
root,
and send up multiple shoots.
As in the case of the Tabonoco trees,
10 or 20 of these gigantic trees, form a cluster.
Nothing so strange about that you might say.
That is true.
However, all the time these trees have massive roots,
which have been
linking up under the ground, as well as over the
ground.
It is because of these combined interlinked massive
root
systems, that these trees are very rarely blown down.
Unity is
strength.
If you do
not pull out every single negative and accusative thought
every
single time, how are going to stop these thoughts from becoming
and
impregnable fortress as the Tabonoco Root System?
The answer
is that you will never do so.
Your
unrejected evil thoughts and attitudes,
will
become like the Tabonoco Trees, root system.
So what happens
to you in this process, where you failed to pull out
out these
Satanic thoughts?
You now
start to accept all the negative thoughts, as attacks from the enemy.
You have understood, that you should rebuke Satan, as I
am always teaching.
You understand that the testimony is about the fact,
that Christ has overcome
Satan on the cross, and you speak out this testimony to
Satan,
that by the blood of Christ, you bind the evil spirit,
and cast them into the abyss.
Revelation12:11 And they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the
word of their testimony;
and they
loved not their lives unto the death.
But guess what happens?
Nothing.
The more
you rebuke, the more nothing happens.
You are
now in total despair.
Doubt of
every possible type, fills your mind.
Does God
really exist?
Am I
really a true believer?
Is the
Eternal God really speaking to me?
What is
the purpose of my life?
I am
absolutely useless, and a weak confused failure.
You might even say,
I know this because everyone tells me so.
Regardless
of what I do, no one likes me,
and on and on, the self
induced depression takes hold.
All this could have been
avoided it you had meticulously
rejected all of these
negative thoughts, feelings and
emotions, when Satan had presented
them to you,
in the first place.
When you rebuke Satan or reject
the thought,
with which he is attempting to
destroy you,
you must absolutely believe 100%
what you are saying.
Otherwise it is just a routine
ritual, which is utterly meaningless,
and he will ignore you.
We must remember, that if we are careless in dealing
with
evil spirits, and negative thoughts, feelings and
emotions,
we can get an infestation of thousands at one time.
We therefore have to pay careful attention, and make
sure that
we do not let ourselves get into this condition.
Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked
him, saying, What is thy name?
And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
(This can
be literally thousands).
Christ categorically said our
faith can move mountains.
Satan knows whether you mean what
you are saying,
or if you do not, as you are going
through some sort of ritual.
How many
times have I explained, that our Christianity,
has to be
an intrinsic part of us, and not an intellectual
exercise in
our minds.
Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them,
Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you,
If ye have
faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall
say unto this mountain,
Remove
hence to yonder place; and it shall remove;
and nothing
shall be impossible unto you.
As I have explained, when I am in an aircraft flying
and 30,000 ft
that is between 6 and 7 miles high, (roughly 9.25
kilometers)
and the plane is being seriously shaken by turbulence,
as if it is going to disintegrate anytime.
I can tell you, that I am not going
through any intellectual discussion in my head.
I do not think, who can I call to pray for me.
The answer is no one.
What part of the bible can I read?
The answer is none.
Before I could think about anything, we could easily be
diving
at great speed into the endless ocean below.
What do I do?
It is really automatic.
I
immediately rebuke the forces, which are trying to destroy
the
aircraft.
Do you think I believe what
I am saying?
You had
better believe that I do, 100 percent.
I have done this, when there
were literally seconds
between living and dying.
I need to point out, that I
am not telling you any of these things,
in order to brag, but I want
you to understand, that the Eternal God,
is not a respecter of
persons, and what He has done for me,
He will do for you. This is
the point.
The apostle Peter said the following:
Acts 10:34 Then Peter
opened his mouth, and said,
Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
(1) Let us
understand, you cannot rebuke Satan, today,
for all the attacks, which will
confront you throughout the day,
or even tomorrow.
It does not work that way.
If you have a fire in your
kitchen, and you have an extinguisher,
which is able to put out the fire,
when the fire is completely out,
you do not continue to spray the
contents of the extinguisher,
in case fire breaks out again
later, or even tomorrow, do you?
You have
to deal with each attack individually,
when it
occurs.
It is also
important that you develop the mindset,
that
nothing in the whole of the creation is going to
cause you
to stray from or give up your calling.
This also
has to be an intrinsic part of you.
(2) If you accept a thought from
Satan,
it has now become your own thought.
Satan has long gone on to his next victim.
So what
will all your rebuking Satan achieve?
The answer is nothing.
(3) The best course of action is to repent for not doing,
that
which, you had already been told, that you should do.
if you had
done that, you would have avoided the problem,
in the
first place.
(4) I have
often explained that Satan has to have a legal
reason to
attack us. We give him that reason.
This can be quite difficult, as
you might well rebuke Satan,
so that he leaves, but then another
person, or a family member,
can keep giving him the legal
reason, to bring him,
right back into your environment,
as soon as you have rebuked him.
In this case you are fighting a
loosing battle.
What would I do?
I cannot
force someone else to live by my standards.
However, I
can say, that in my home, you will live by my standards,
if you are
not prepared to do that, sadly as much as I hate to do this,
you will
have to leave.
I can absolutely guarantee, that
believers will always have
hard decisions to make.
Then we have to make these
decisions.
There is a positive aspect, which we can learn from the Tabonoco Tree.
As believers, we should be so very closely bound
together,
with a root system, that is above, and below the
ground,
so that when Satan’s spiritual hurricane tries to
destroy us,
we might take a little damage, but we will neither be
blown down,
nor away. We will all be standing very tall.
This can only be achieved, if we are effectively
communicating,
with each other, and we are upholding, encouraging,
and praying for each other.
Supremely strong, growing up towards the light, but
down on the ground
and below just as massive a root structure, most of which
is invisible,
holds us together, exactly as it holds the group
of Tabonoco Trees together.
We should
all start taking responsibility for our actions,
and we
should all stop trying to run away from ourselves.
These pictures, are snaps, which I took from a BBC
series,
some years ago called ‘Wild Caribbean’. It dealt with
hurricanes.
