So tomorrow I will release the Jesus Alliance website along with our first video. All things considered, it is an amazing achievement. I say this because there has been intense spiritual warfare and demonic attack that affected health, finance, and even natural disaster in an all-out demonic effort to stop it in its tracks.
Last week as our deadline approached my wife of 44 years very nearly died from massive blood clots in her lungs. The entire week I was by her side and with our family who gathered together at the ICU unit. This was time that I had planned on spending finalizing the website which lacked completion and still needed a significant amount of work. I compensated for it by staying up 42 hours straight with one hour’s sleep and working intermittently on it as opportunities presented themselves. When her condition improved I gave it my all out effort.
I would be remiss if I failed to mention that the all-important funding pledged for the project was tied up through governmental and legal wrangling and remains that way even today. Dealing with this distraction took precious time away from the project, but with God’s help I’ve fought our way through it. It is still not resolved but maybe this is the week.
The music for the video that was composed by world renowned composer Jeremy Soule was not finalized until Saturday. When his staff attempted to send it to us, a freak wind storm knocked the power to their California facility out. When power was restored and they tried to send it, not one, but two computers crashed. And then incredibly and against all odds “Dropbox”, (the facility we used to transfer the files), crashed and went down too. Finally late yesterday afternoon the music was transferred using yet another computer and it arrived and the video was completed.
There is more but this is a sample of what I have faced in trying to finish this project. I think I can safely assume that satan does not want this movement to get started . . .
You think?
Well he has failed! I made a promise to God that I would release this on September 1st and I’m delivering on it. I’ve even made arrangements for it to go out in case I’m taken out ahead of the deadline.
Yesterday in church I asked those who believe in spiritual warfare to raise their hands. All but a few did so. Folks the Bible unequivocally states that we are engaged in spiritual warfare. Further it states that we face a powerful adversary the devil who goes around trying to devour anyone he can. Before we can win a war we must realize that we are in one.
Don’t be like some of our country’s leaders who deny that we are at war with radical Muslim extremists. It’s like sticking our heads in the sand and hoping for the best. We must fight back with the tools and resources our Lord has generously provided for us, especially prayer.
Satan has declared war on all of mankind and he is powerful, having been given authority over the entire world. Remember what he said to Jesus in the desert: Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” It is his world and he controls it including those in high places such as world leaders, powerful tycoons, and celebrities. He is using it all against us in war!
But the Bible states that if we resist the devil, he will flee from us. I recognize him and what he is trying to do and I have resisted, and I pray that you will as well.
Please take a look at the website tomorrow and forward it to everyone on your list. Distribution of this site to the world will be the next thing that he attacks. Do your part by sending it to everyone you know, post it to Facebook and ask your friends to “like” it.
If satan deemed it so important to stop, undoubtedly it will bless you to spend some time sending it to others. This website is far from perfect, but no doubt is a good start towards combating the evil that is destroying the moral fiber of our country.
Eph. 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm . . .
