we can be our own biggest barrier to communication with God. "Let the peace of God rule inyour hearts." Having the peace of God improves the communication level.Scriptures declare that those who really love the truth will not be deceived in the last days.When the enemy approaches the watchman sounds the trumpet to call the troops intoformation. Wake up, look, and move. The love of God will motivate you to stand up for whatis right, for what is truth. The world is laughing at the church. Jesus said "...you will besorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy." Jn 16:20. It is time for the men and womenof God to allow God to fill their lives to point that we are falling on our faces, and receiving thePower of God.The mission of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgement.Cf. Jn 16:7-8. There is much more to be said in facing the enemy than this chapter will tell you.Jesus said, "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." Jn 16:12.This author also has many things that the Spirit of God has revealed and laid on his heart. Butas I sit and write this I feel a check. I will give the first step, and pray you step it. And againalthough this chapter's message is the first step toward facing the enemy, this author and alsothe Spirit of God both have more to say. The reader has been shown what the enemy has done.The readers eyes are opened, and he or she can make decisions based on the more accurateknowledge provided in Be Wise As Serpents. The reader must not stop here with this chapter.The reader must learn about his spiritual weapons and armor. This book will not show youhow to deal with evil spirits, but at some point you will need to move against them, and you willnot be able to do this if you do not even believe in fighting evil spirits. But even now a newelect is being trained who will know how to go forth in Jesus's name and to take cities for theglory of God.REJECT THEIR NEW MESSIAHThere is abundant evidence that they are preparing several men, only one is needed to rule theworld as a King-Priest. To rule men with authority over their political and their religiousallegiences. Whether 2 Thes. 2:3,4 is specifically refering to our day and age or not when itwarns of an anti-Christ, the warning is still of value. "Let no man deceive you by any means: forthat day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God."EMBRACE THE SERMON ON THE MOUNTSatan even in Christ's day could offer to Christ the Nations of the World. Christ thereforefaced the same situation as exists today. Christ's words then, are appropriate to ask theconspiracy, "What does it profit a man that he should gain the whole world but lose his soul?"The world has rejected Christ's Sermon on the Mount as impractical idealism. It has rejectedthe Sermon on the Mount supposedly for intellectual reasons, but deep down the real reasons aremoral ones that prevent them from seeing the glory of God's ways. It is very rare that a man willtry Christ's teachings out. So certainly, the rejection of Christ's Sermon on the Mount is notbecause they have failed when tried. Christ doesn't call people to an idiotic blind faith. Hechallenges people to test out what he is saying to see if it is from God. "My doctine is not Mine,but His who sent me." Jn 7:15 "If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning thedoctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on my own authority." Jn 7:17Try it you'll like it—try it, you'll learn it's from God. The Sermon on the Mount is Christ'sadvice in a nutshell on how to deal with the world-wide forces of evil.
