THE ORACLE SPEAKS: SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Ladies and gentlemen, we are war, and as we approach the last frontier of this warfare, the prince of darkness is becoming increasingly agitated, for he is on a time lapse, hence he is on a mission to trap as many souls that will accompany him to his final destination. Yet, this war is not really about you and I. In fact, I dare say that this war does not concern any of us.

This battle is between good and evil, and between light and darkness. You see, Lucifer, is a fallen angel, who has an ancient grudge with his former Master and Creator, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. You and I just happen to be caught up in this immortal combat.

Here lies the true story of the prince of darkness. Long before God created man, Lucifer was a Cherub, and a worship leader, formulating praise songs, together with the heavenly host, in honour of our Lord and Saviour. Then one moment in time, a thought came to his mind to rebel, overthrow his King, and become like the Most High. But even his potent ambition could not land him on the heavenly throne.

 

Nonetheless, he recruited a host of angels into the rebellion against God but the archangel Michael, together with the Lord's army, countered this rebellion, and drove Lucifer and all his minions out of heaven, where he fell like lightening down to the earth. Therefore, out of anger, Lucifer became Satan, God's opponent, who wages war throughout centuries, against all the inhabits of the earth.

Thus, whatever beautiful and wonderful creations God made on earth, the devil has turned it to evil, continuing in his vile quest to destroy anything and everything God blessed, including you and I. As it is now, humanity has not yet figured out the extent of this spiritual warfare surrounding its kind, despite the many questions regarding this warfare.

As a result, I will try and answer almost every question that had crossed our minds concerning this spiritual warfare. But before I do, I would like to put out a disclaimer that God did not create man and put him on earth to suffer. Rather, it is His will for man to prosper in this lifetime. Therefore, knowledge is the key that God will use to break the chains, and set us free.

The most common question mankind asks God is, "If Satan is the problem, then why would you not just get rid of him once and for all?" You see, Lucifer was created and not born like the sons of men. Moreover, he was not created in time, and out of dirt like humans.

Furthermore, the rules that apply to a man, do not apply to his angelic nature, for he operates in spirit form, while man operates in human form. In short, the laws and principles that govern the celestial realm are more complicated, and far beyond our human comprehension. So then, let us leave the fate of this fallen angel to his Maker.

Another melancholic question we all ask our Lord is, "God, why do you allow us to suffer?" You may not believe it but God only has good plans for you and I to blossom, and be of great health. Unfortunately for us, we do live in a fallen world, with much pain and turmoil. What's more, the enemy of our soul is hell bent on grieving us with sorrowful burdens, mostly because we are made in God's image and likeness.

Let me remind you all once more that it is the will of God that we all flourish in everything we do, yet the enemy makes it harder for us to be victorious in life. That is why we must fight to obtain all that God has promised to us. Further, a myriad of people ask this disheartening question of, "Why did God allow us to be born into this chaotic world?"

Well, God allowed you and I to be born into this world, in order for us to proclaim His glory. He also gave us His Word, so that we may know how to navigate this cold world. Yet, blatant ignorance, a lack of knowledge of His Word, of which a bunch of quack teachers have hijacked and sold it for their own gain, have made it near impossible for mortals to survive this dark world.

What we essentially need in our lives, is the light of Christ to make it on this earth. Therefore, I suggest that you stop relying on all those false prophets for your spiritual growth, and instead, turn to your Lord and Saviour and ask Him for an accurate revelation on how to survive this wicked world. The beauty about Christ is that He never disappoints, nor does He fail.

Another common question which ruminates in the hearts of men is, “Why does evil always seem to prevail over good?" It because our world was built on a faulty foundation, where evil comfortably resides. Notice that I did not say the earth was built upon a defect but the world was. Therefore, whoever who runs the world, is running it at a default, creating room for evil to nest in our world.

However, this is not to say that good is not present in our world. In fact, it is the presence of good that sustains our world from annihilation. Therefore, any good deed that proceeds from you, is a seed of light you sow into our world for the sustenance of our future. In word, evil is designed to self-destruct, while good is always triumphant.

Perhaps yet a final question to this discord would be, "Why do many righteous people die before their time, while the wicked people tend to live it up for a long while?" This is a strange phenomenon that even I get baffled by. It is unfair that wicked men live to enjoy the earth's privileges, while the righteous ones sleep early in death. Yet, God in His sovereignty, is the only one who knows why the wicked seem to prevail over the righteous.

Nevertheless, I will try and attempt at a plausible answer that will help us understand this quagmire. Yet firstly, I feel somewhat obligated to speak for the departed souls. It probably is God who desires that the righteous exit early, so that their souls do not live long to be contaminated by the evil in the world. I do believe that their preservation is far more important than their stay on earth.

As for the longevity of wicked, I also do believe that it is the plan of God that they also live long enough to change their foul ways. God grants them more time, with the hope that they will realize the error of their ways, turn and repent, for His grace and mercy to shine upon their lives, and thereby transform them. As I told you sons of men earlier on, we are at war, and the only way to survive and win this war, knowledge is the key.
