ENEMY

 

WE ARE AT WAR

·       
  Enemy: a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.

·        A hostile nation or its armed forces or citizens, especially in time of war.

·        A thing that harms or weakens something else.

An enemy can come in many forms and instruments.  One type of enemy is in reference to a nation, or armed forces in time of war, is what I want to dig into deeper. We have an enemy whether you believe in God or not is not so much as a concern to this invisible army. As a matter of fact if you don’t believe it makes his job so much easier. He has 3 objectives that consumes and drives him and that is to kill, steal and destroy you, by any means necessary. John 10:10- The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.

So I looked up the strategic ways the enemy comes and was shocked to see that this is exactly how he is working his devices against us. Now the research was done assuming the enemy is an army and these are the military tactics that came up and that the enemy is using. I was shocked because it is happening now, in the world and in your home. Ephesians 6:12- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Let’s see if you can relate.

1. Air Superiority- We see this now with inappropriate scenes and language in television/radio, biased/false news reports. Occult/masonic symbols being used everywhere, the removal of God, in schools, workplaces, buildings, statues, and literature.

Attrition Warfare- A strategy of wearing down the enemy to the point of collapse through continuous loss of personnel and material. Used to defeat enemies with low resources and high morale. Loss of loved ones, jobs, houses, finances, businesses are attacked. Leaving you discouraged, stressed, worried about how you are going pull through this.

Bait and Bleed-to induce rival states to engage in a protracted war of attrition against each other, also known as “Divide and Conquer”. It is not just the body of Christ but also the Countries, Races, Religions fighting against each other believing that each other is evil and condemning while the true enemy watches.

Coercion- Compelling the enemy to involuntarily behave in a certain way by targeting the leadership, national communications, or political-economic centers. Our Religious leaders, Presidents, Politicians, are in scandals of all sorts, from immorality, to embezzlement, to lying and deceiving the public. Our Law and Justice forces are made up of some that have corrupted, abused and neglected the system leading to the mistrust, and loss of respect of their citizens.

Decapitation- Achieving strategic paralysis by targeting political leadership, command and control, strategic weapons, and critical economic nodes. So when there is no order in the Political offices: protests arise, in the Churches: attendance to church drops; prayers lessen and in some cases cease and have turned away from the faith. In Law and Justice: opposition to those in authority, resentment, and mistrust are forefront with good reason. Homelessness is at our nations highest.

Deception- A strategy that seeks to deceive, trick, or fool the enemy and create a false perception in a way that can be leveraged for a military advantage.  One way is to get you to believe there is no enemy. That there isn’t the spirit of the anti-Christ working behind the scenes with a movement ushering in the last days before Christ’s coming. Keeping you blinded with scales on your eyes in disbelief because your intelligence tells you that things like that are unrealistic, not logical, and mythical. And because it is hard for you to believe in something or someone you cannot see or hear, but what if you are wrong? The price of being wrong is too great and too late if you die first. Yet, in spite of what you believe, whether you believe in an enemy or not, God or not, HE sees you as a threat AND an enemy. And you, willingly or not, are his target with a bullseye.

Denial- A strategy that seeks to destroy the enemy's ability to wage war. See the above.

Distraction- An attack by some of the force on one or two flanks, drawing up to a strong frontal attack by the rest of the force.  I believe we see some of that as our youth are drawn to drugs, suicides, hopelessness, rebellion we are losing our children to external forces in America. Kidnappings, abuse, random mass killings, these are all assaults from the enemy breaking us down, shocking our senses. We have not yet seen the frontal attack. Guerrilla Tactics would also fall into this which would involve ambushing.

Incentive- A strategy that uses incentives to gain cooperation. We see that with the satanic symbols being used by celebrities and politicians to gain wealth, power and position.

Penetration- A direct attack through enemy lines, then an attack on the rear once through. This happens when we give in to temptations or traps of the enemy and once he gets in he wreaks havoc in our homes, marriages, relationships, businesses, our lives.

Persisting Strategy- A strategy that seeks to destroy the means by which the enemy sustains itself. If you don’t learn to encourage yourself, get strength for your mind and keep positive thoughts in them, the enemy feeds off negative thinking. A defeated mentality is a breeding ground for him, and he loves to attend a good pity party.

Punishment- A strategy that seeks to push a society beyond its economic and physiological breaking point. Look around……we have the nastiest Presidential campaign ever in history. Crowds from both parties are attacking and assaulting each other with racial innuendos. Then we have rogue police officers who are undisciplined, and have no business dealing with the public much less being armed doing it, and because of their actions have caused friction in communities across the nation. And radical Religious Sects that distort the love of Christ with accusations that belong to the evil doer of a single disturbed person. We would all be dead if we were judged by our sins, because every one of us have sinned and have fallen short. God is the God of mercy and second chances. Know who your enemy is.

Turning Maneuver- An attack that penetrates the enemy's flank, then curls into its rear to cut it off from home.  The enemy wants you to die not believing the truth, and cut off living an eternity with your creator.

Total War- War in which a nation's survival is at stake. Your life is at stake.

Don’t mistake a nuisance, a misunderstanding or ignorance for an enemy. Your enemy knows you and his name is Satan.
