The world in which we live today is an evil world. From the wars and famine in foreign countries to the racism, AIDS, high divorce rates, inclusion, false prophecies, fallacies of God's truth, and the blatant disobedience of HIS word, here, in the United States. Even though the world is in trouble, it is not time to fear or surrender to wicked ways, but to ultimately walk in the light of truth and trust God's word. Each day, his word is becoming more and more evident. Some things need to take place within us, as humankind, before positive changes can be seen in and around us.
Fear is to be eliminated. Fear is a spirit. It is not a natural nor innate instinct, but one that is cast upon us by the enemy. (Psalm 27 ; Psalm 91). Fear is learned and hard, but possible, to be unlearned; therefore, we must pray and bind the spirit of fear to escalate our faith that we can trust God's word without doubt.
Change is the first thing that needs to happen. A lot of people are comfortable in the lifestyles they live and are simply afraid to change. They fear what would happen if things are different. Those people are not trusting God's word without doubt. If there be any doubt, there is no faith. To be afraid of change is to close doors on opportunities to escalate and live a profound life. With any change, there will be variances and unfamiliarities that we will have to adjust to. With God's instruction to make that change and undying faith, we will not be affected by the adjustment negatively. We will have peace through the entire transition. (Isaiah 26:3).
The second thing that we must embrace is awareness. We must put on the whole armor of God and avoid being decieved by the wiles of the enemy (Ephesians 6:11). This takes a level of awareness beyond the basic awareness. This is tapping into our spiritual awareness. Once our spiritual eyes are open, we have sight beyond sight and a high level of discernment. We can almost feel evil spirits in our presence. The most effective weapon against any spirits or deceit that comes upon us is the sword (WORD OF GOD). We are not to step out of our assigned seat in the house of God and attempt to fight his battle. The battle is not ours; it is HIS. We can bind spirits by shouting the word of God out of our mouth and declaring the truth to the enemy.
The third thing that we must possess, beyond all is love. We must love one another and be able to accept individuals for who they are, as opposed to what they are. (John 13:34-35). Judging others is not our God given duty. (Matthew 7:1). We are not given the permission to do God's job. Our initial job and lifelong job is to bring souls to the Lord. If we bring ten million souls to God and run one soul away by judging and ridiculing someone, instead of arming them with the word of God, we have not only sent a soul back out into the world to be devoured by the enemy, but also demolished the divine plan that God had for us, as his servant.
Let's be about our business of serving the almighty God and stay in our rightful positions. When in our correct positions, the army will remain strong and effective in surviving the attacks of the enemy, who is already defeated. Giving up is not an option for us soldiers! Everyone is in God's militia is to serve a purpose. Saints be encouraged, stay on the battlefield, fight the good fight of faith, so that when that day that's sure to come arrives, you will be delighted to hear, "Servant, well done!"

Amen. This was so good to read and so uplifting and encouraging. I certainly agree with the writer on everything except the binding spirits by shouting the word. They are not afraid of the word, they know the word themselves. We just on last night realized that we are not suppose to bind, but loose, cast out and rebuke the devour. The Adversary. in the name of Jesus.
