TRUE REALITY

Reality. 
Google defines reality as "the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them."
As believers of Christ, we often fail to see the true reality. Why I say true reality is because we often think what we see with our mortal eyes is the reality, but it is not so for a believer as there is a much more real "kingdom of God" and it's enemy the "kingdom of Darkness". 

The truth is that when we accept Jesus as our personal savior we become a part of the kingdom of Heaven and we are not just an average human being. As we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour we not only achieve eternal life but also receive citizenship from heaven. Heavenly citizenship does not mean we can just while away our time. It means much more that. As the kingdom of God is at war with the kingdom of darkness at all times, we are also to fight with the dark kingdom or in simply the devil. The battles we face in the spiritual realm manifests itself in our lives, but we fail to realize that it is a spiritual battle as we are not aware of the fact that we are to fight the devil in the spiritual realm.
 
Let me explain what I mean, in Ephesians 6:12 Paul says like this

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

But we think we are wrestling against flesh and blood as the battle manifests itself to you only in the flesh. Before I give an example you must know that demons can control our emotions and our reactions to certain situations. These demons enter into humans as they are bodiless creatures and need a body to live in. let me take the example from Matthew 16:22


And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.”But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.
Here we see Jesus addressing Peter as satan. What Jesus was really doing was that he spoke to the demon inside of his disciple. The demon was a rebuking spirit inside of peter that made him speak in such a way against Jesus. But Jesus knowing the TRUE REALITY of the spiritual realm spoke to the devil that he was a hindrance to His work. Similarly, we may find some of the people whom we interact with doing or saying certain things they must not, in those situations pray in your mind against those demons by the authority given to you by God. 

You may ask this question,” how will I know what demon is acting behind the person?”. Well, the answer to that question will be –“ask the holy spirit and he will reveal it to you” also in your personal prayer remember to ask for the DISCERNING SPIRIT, by the way, it the character of the Holy Spirit, not a demon.

THE CALLING - How to?

Welcome to this blog as I continue the series 'THE CALLING'. In the previous blog, we saw in-depth about what the calling of God is. In this blog, we are going to see how to walk in the calling of god over our lives. Now that we have understood ‘what’ the calling of God is and some of the important things about the calling of God over our lives, let us go to Matthew 7:21, where we saw Jesus saying that doing the will of God is the only way to enter heaven and If we read further, the scriptures say like this: On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:22-23 Here we see Jesus saying what He meant when He said ‘WILL OF GOD’ in the previous verse. In other terms, Jesus is saying how we are to stand and pursue the calling of God over our lives. In verse 22, Jesus says that just beca...

As we are in the journey of learning about ‘the calling’ God has kept over our lives, we need to know about our enemy. The enemy is the one who is always waiting to stop us from doing the will of God in our lives. Therefore, we must have a complete understanding of our enemy and his strategies. This will help us to overcome the oppositions and trials on our way that we may stand in our calling till the end.   Under this topic, I am going to talk, in a practical manner, on what are the things that the devil will bring on our way in the walk with God, how he does that and how to overcome it all.
