There is only one weapon Jesus modeled to use against the lies of the devil. It is the sword of His word....It is written will cause the enemy to flee every time, but not after having to stand on the truth for a moment! The enemy uses the SAME sword. Satan is also known for saying it is written. We are in a war of truth. It is only going to get MORE intense. Just like all swashbuckling, how much practice we have...how comfortable we are holding the sword of the Word is going to be REALLY important in the day we need it. Our endurance, our understanding of the interconnectedness of Gods Word is of ultimate importance in this hour. This is like the trained footwork of a sword fighter. Take heart. If you dont love Gods Word automatically, you are like 99% of Jesus friends! It takes God to love God. Ask Him, seek it, knock for it God, increase my love for your word. He loves to give good gifts to His Children. You need to be able to do this: Luke 4:3-13 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ” Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.” And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. The false prophet is so kind he actually looks like a lamb...He looks like Jesus! But, he is so crafty he speaks like a dragon. He speaks like satan. He uses the Bible to get Christians to rebel against God. He makes them comfortable to take the mark of the beast and eventually worship satan. This is a huge warning. The Bible has a LOT to say about this, which means it is a real risk. It wont be as obvious as many imagine. That is why Jesus kept saying watch, pray, and be ready. Jesus gave MANY warnings. It will be very sneaky, the way the world is deceived. Many believe Jesus would never let His people believe a lie, but everyone gets what they want. Right now is the time to fill your heart with his word. You will stand on whatever truth you have a command of in the evil time: Revelation 13:11-12 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. The false prophet will look like Jesus but speak like a dragon. Satan quoted Jesus words back at Him!! The boldness of this adversary. Many false prophets will do the same. This is one of the main dynamics of the generation we live in. Many false prophets are already speaking from very large platforms! Do you see them? I hear them in many parts of Jesus Body. They sound VERY encouraging, but their words will do you no good in the time of trouble. Jeremiah 14:13-16 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God ! Behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’ ” And the Lord said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart. Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not be in this land’—‘By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed! And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; they will have no one to bury them—them nor their wives, their sons nor their daughters—for I will pour their wickedness on them.’ This is a passage about our day. Jesus said the greatest increase of false prophets in the Church would accompany His return. You will only see them when you have a living understanding of Jesus plan for this hour. Without living understanding you are a sitting duck. Matthew 24:4, 9-13 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. Now is the time to get ready to stand. I dont want to stand on what the world is standing on. I want to stand on the Word!! Ephesians 6:13-17 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
