When the Apostle Paul stated that the effeminate will not inherit the Kingdom Of God, he was referring to men that are lovers of men. During this time homosexuals were around as they are today. Although the prevalence was not as great, this spirit has wrestled with the lusts of men and women since the beginning of time. Sodom and Gomorrah was God’s 1st judgement of homosexual sin.

Satan’s disorder and disobedience is what caused him to fall from Heaven. He was a beautiful angel of glory. He was in charge of the music in Heaven. He thought himself to be so great that he was thrown out of Heaven, never to see righteousness again.

The primary job of Satan and his evil spirits is to take whatever God has created and make it unclean. As evil is the opposite of good, Satan tries to get us do the opposite of what God has called us to do and be. God has called men to be husbands, fathers, and protectors. God has called women to be wives, mothers, and to nurture. Satan would have men be women and women be men. Through this process he unseats man from his place of spiritual authority, in-turn nullifying the power that God has given to man.

This rise of the gay nature I believe is direct evidence of the end of time as referenced in the book of Revelations in the bible. The increased spiritual activity has resulted in a decay of morals(falling away) which was prophesied before Christ’s return. I believe it is imperative that we protect our young boys and girls that they may know Jesus Christ and know the difference between good and evil.

“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6: 11-12.

As a Christian we must embrace the battle that rages in the realm of the spirit. We being mind, body, and spirit must always first trust our spirit. This is the place that God speaks to our inner soul. This spirit also moves in a realm that is more real than our natural existence. As a child we move first in body then mind. As a young adult and older, maturity has us move more in our minds first. When we mature in Jesus Christ we learn that our mind must cling to the spirit of God.

When we accept this spirit of God it gives us power in the spirit realm that can directly affect what happens in this natural world. It is no doubt our battle is not in flesh and blood. We truly battle against demonic forces beyond our natural perception. These forces oppress and possess the minds and bodies of men. The fall of mankind from the first Adam till present day times has been affected by these forces. All Evil Spirits have a mission of diluting and destroying the message of Jesus Christ through whatever means necessary. This includes killing those who preach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Knowing that Satan and his demonic forces look to destroy the works of good, Christians, must put on the “whole armor of God”. These pieces include…The Breastplate Of Righteousness, The Shield Of Faith, The Belt Of Truth, The Shoes Of The Gospel Of Peace, The Helmet Of Salvation, and The Sword Of The Spirit.

1. The Breastplate Of Righteousness refers the a man keeping himself away from sin, therefore protecting him from death, which is the result of sin.

2. The Shield Of Faith is our protection from doubt in turn protecting us from all the lies and deception that exist in this world. Paul refers to these deceptions as “fiery darts of the wicked”

3. The Belt Of Truth is what keeps us from stumbling in our understanding of God. The bible says that we worship God in spirit and truth.

4. The Shoes Of The Gospel Of Peace refers to Gods desire that we be peacemakers. “Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.” 2 Cor. 13:11

5. The Helmet Of Salvation refers to mans choice to believe in Jesus Christ therefore securing a place for the soul(mind) in heaven.

6. The Sword Of The Spirit is the word of God. When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, Jesus fought him by quoting the word of God.

These pieces are essential to fighting against devils. If we choose to not embrace these principles it will certainly result in a spiritual death. Spiritual death is what cuts us off from God and this is why Satan works so hard to achieve this.

Friends, trust in God in all you do. “That ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand, stand therefore.” Eph. 6:13-14

How many times have we as humans been accused of saying or doing something we didn’t do? How many times have we done something for one reason and it was understood in another negative way? The communicator becomes agitated because they have mistakenly offended someone. The offended person gathers more negative thoughts of the person who made the offensive comments. To the individuals the problem is real, but in actuality it is just an imagination. This circle of confusion can go on and on, destroying or significantly tearing down relationships. Imagination is defined as the formation of a mental image of something that is neither perceived as real nor present to the senses.
 This problem of imaginations is a major way the enemy of God, Satan, destroys Christians. We as Christians are called to first listen to the spirit of God within us to disseminate all things that enter our mind (soul). To understand this process we understand human beings are separated into three parts… flesh, soul, and spirit. How we operate in these three parts affects our relationship with God. The Apostle Paul summed it up when he stated in Gal 5:17 of the KJV bible, “For the flesh lusteth against spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot so do the things that you would”. The flesh and the spirit in us are enemies . The middle ground of humans is the soul which encompasses our thinking, logic, opinion, and partly emotions. This area is the prize for both God and Satan. If your mind (soul) is on God (Jesus) and to do his will your soul is clinging to the spirit of the man. If your mind (soul) is consistently on anything outside of God (Jesus) then your soul is clinging to the flesh of the man.
 When we as Christians misunderstand something and become offended by it, we have fallen into imaginations. The Apostle Paul tells us to cast down imaginations and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into the captivity of Christ. By taking every thought that enters our mind and consulting Gods spirit about it before we respond will ultimately give us more victory in our journey through life.
