FOREWORD What does it mean to have the Spirit of a Warrior? Do we need that spirit? Is this necessary for us all or is this just for a privileged type of Christians, specially chosen and handpicked warriors? A special squad of warriors like David belonged to? A shepherd has no need of the Spirit of a warrior; no very surely not, he is so tender and soft, just like Jesus and very compassionate. Well what is with a teacher as mentioned in Ephesians 4:11? No! Very surely this one also not! Or what would you think of an evangelist? What do you think? Well what I mean is that he very surely has to have the spirit of a warrior; but maybe also not!? But very surely some of the apostles and the prophets! As they are more or less the generals in Gods army, I think we can come into agreement with this or not? But what would you think of the house woman or of the normal laborer? When we are at the end of this book, than this will be the moment that you know with 100% certainty that the spirit of a warrior, the will to fight and to combat, is meant for you; and that this spirit is inevitable and necessary to be able to fight the combat battle for faith. You need a certain amount of spiritedness’ and the passion to fight to be able to be a conqueror over that what God has designated for you to be a victor over and that where fore you may fight and battle against. This starts already with the moment of natural birth even as with the spiritual rebirth. Here starts already your call and assignment for battle. Battle and combat for our children, for our sons and daughters; battle and combat for the safety of their souls and a battle because of the safety of your soul and these of your husband and wife, these of your brothers and sisters and even of those of the godless man and woman. But in this battle in this fight and combat you do not fight alone; and it should comfort your heart that the whole divinity is at your side; but most of the time you do not know it and you are not at all conscious about it. And this makes that you do not have the courage the bravery and the valor to fight or to throw yourself completely into the battle of combat. It must has driven the devil completely nuts that God has given Adam and Eve the earth with all what is in it and upon it. He thought that the earth was his possession - as he was banned from God from heaven upon earth – so he acted as if it was his place. Think over how Satan has handled the earth!? Yes, I believe that he was responsible for it that the earth was in a condition of being empty and void. I do not believe that it is in Gods nature to create an empty and void earth!? In the root text are the words 102 wht tohuw and 103 whb bohuw; used like “wilderness’, chaos and a place of emptiness and these words mean mainly CHAOS, and empty and wild disorder and confusion. No, here has been a battle between God and Lucifer (Satan) and his angels. But even before that God created humanity, He makes the earth whole again, He makes her beautiful and radiant; He is not doing this for Satan and his angels, no He did it for us. The earth is from God and He can give it who He wants. He has taken the earth to give it to us a right of inheritance. Satan though has grasped the earth to make it his own; yes he has stolen it. He destroyed what God had made so beautiful; the very first marriage! He brings not only dividedness and displeasure between God and humanity; no he brings it also in the relationship between Adam and Eve. And just like Adam and Eve have we listened to him and with this we do give him the right to lay hand at our inheritance; to reign over our wife, children, family’s and all what is in our possession: and this is also the earth and all what is in it and on it. This all is what we gone take back. But first we start with the start and this means that we man/husbands and wife’s again start to rule and to reign over our own, body, soul and spirit. After that we can go on and will we receive the right to be able to rule and reign as a priest, king and prophet in and over our family’s with the love of Christ, who has given His live for His family and for His woman and future Bride! 3

CHAPTER 1

HAVING THE SPIRIT AND ZEAL OF A WARRIOR! What is typical and distinguished for the character and the spirit of a warrior? Is it yelling, screaming, being loud and having strong muscles and such things? Well yes, for a combatant or a warrior these things will be necessary, but this is not the typical and distinguished mark of a warrior! These are not the main character traits of a zealous Biblical warrior. Is it than maybe passion, fire and zeal? What do you think that it is? Being spirited and enthusiastic? No it is not quite like that! It is our will which determines the character and the spiritedness of a warrior. Our will distinguishes and denotes the measurement of zeal fire and spiritedness and it GREATLY determines the character of a warrior. Our will distinguishes and determines if we have the character and the zeal and fire of a warrior, or not! Maybe you have thought that it would be passion? Well that is not that bad! But without your will, passion is not able to enflame, and enthusiasm fire and zeal also not, let be the character of a warrior who wants to wage war with passion fire and zeal. Passion, enthusiasm, fire and zeal are also the expression of the desire to battle – with other words – the willpower or the strength of the will which I have, or have not! It is only the sword in the hand of a combatant, yes of a warrior. But without being prepared, ready and set, to GIVE ALL and to sacrifice EVERYTHING we have and are, has the sword no value at all. It would be the same as if I had no sword for it would make no difference. The sword comes to his designated destination, only than, when it is been held in the hand of a skillful, practiced, experienced warrior which is prepared, ready and set to die with the sword in his hands. He or she who wants to save his live or soul, who wants to rescue it, will through this attitude of heart make that just this will happen: he will lose, corrupt and destroy his own soul. Without the input, the effort and the involvement of our will; will not very much happen in our lives! We need to have a passionate will to be able to have the spirit of a warrior. And maybe you will not believe it, but it starts already before that a baby is born. So let us have a look how this starts to develop itself at the birth of a baby.

ALREADY AT THE MOMENT OF BIRTH BABY'S HAVE TO FIGHT AND TO BATTLE Shortly after the moment that a baby is born you are able to recognize if it has a strong will or not. Will and passion go together and they are not to separate. A baby can cry very passionately because of that it has hunger and because it definitely wants to have something to eat. The baby sets his/her will into action and expresses it with passion or not. It desires to eat and makes his/her will known through expressing it with weeping (very loud), or even through screaming. And when the baby has a strong will, than it will become louder and louder and with more and more passion it will say “I WILL!” And already this is a form of battling and fighting. And even a little child in the age of three or four has very often the ability to push his will through and it is doing this very intensively with passion and a strong will. It desires for the one or the other play toy and keeps on pushing her/his 7

will through and try’s to override the will of the parents who have set limitations to her will, until she/he gets what she/he wants. The little child fights and battles to push her will through; and these are very often children who know what they want and desire for. But there are also children who do not know what they want – they have not such a strong will - and very often you do not even hear them. With such children you have the intention to go and look if they are still there. But so or so, babies have to fight and to battle and this already before that they are born. And believe me, this is very necessary! Because the children who are been born, are been born in the midst of a spiritual warfare; and they have to fight and to battle, let it be only, to be able to be born and to come to the light. As I wanted to know more about this, I asked God and He said to me that I had to ask the midwife* - I knew He meant the Midwife in our gathering of Christians - how the baby’s have to fight and to battle this is what I had to ask her so He said. And so I did and I learned a lot of things worthy to know. Our Midwife spoke with me about the battle which is there and comes up with the birth of a baby, and she told me about two different versions of a birth – the natural one and the not natural birth. Let us first have a look at the natural God willed birth of a baby! By the way this Chapter will be dedicated to all the mothers and the woman who just as us man are called for it to have the spirit of a warrior. For God there is no difference in INHERITANCE, both together, AS ONE, REPRESENT THE PERFECT IMAGE OF THE DIVINE FAMILY, FATHER, and SON and HOLY SPIRIT. This because the woman is just like the man a partaker of the nature and the character of Jesus Christ and because of that the woman will also be a partaker of the nature and the character of the Lion of Judah, the Spirit of prophecy, which breath is and says: “I will as your will is.” Okay we go now into it and I share with you the conversation I had with Beathe our midwife.

EXERCISES, TRAINING AND AEROBICS Beathe: „the Babies are actually always playing with the navel line. Seldom will a baby be entangled in it so that it chokes strangles or quilts itself; But when this happens than there are other powers at work. It happens also that the navel line wrappes around the feet, but that is very normal. The playing with the navel line is a preparation for the birthing. Well I will not enlighten the spiritual side of this all here, maybe in another Book, so God wills. But what I can say is that the Baby has to become strong. And when it would not play and practice their aerobics in the womb of the mother, than at the time of birth it would be too weak and it will not have strength enough to press itself true the birth channel. The time of birth is for both a battle and a fight, as well for the mother as for the baby. * The term midwife, meaning "with a woman," was first recorded in 1300.

In my native languish it says three or four weeks of “practicing contractions” before the real contractions come in German you say the early contractions – früh wehen. 8

Beathe: „Before birth is taking place there is first a period of three to four weeks of starting contractions to practice the Baby as well as the mother to be ready for the time of birth. These practicing contractions are also there so that the baby can start to go into the position which enables it to come or to fall into the birth channel. But the practicing contractions make also that everything gets narrower and that it can only go one way and that is in the direction of the birth channel. It will have than the feet’s above and the head turned down in the direction of the birth channel. On this way the little feet’s find stability to push itself of, while it is in the birth channel.

THE PLACE OF EXERCISE Beathe: “The place of exercise is the womb of the mother and actually there is nothing what the baby is not aware of in the outer world although it is in the womb of the mother. It stands under a continual influence of that what it hears and of that what it sees! The baby is aware of it, if it is dark or light. When pregnant mothers lay in the sun; the baby will turn itself away from the light, because the light is too much. In the womb of the mother the baby finds safety, shelter and protection. It is there warm soft and cozy. Within the safety and the protection of the womb of the mother is it able to experience everything what go’s on in the outside world.” You can very clearly see the parallel to the church as the mother or the womb, but as I said I will not enlighten here the deeper spiritual meaning of all of this, but with some things I will.

GOD DECIDES THE DURATION OF PRACTICE AND EXERCISE Beathe: “When the baby is perfectly grown out and perfectly shaped – meaning that everything has come to a perfect state of maturity; every cell is grown and fully developed to his destiny or too that wherefore it is designed to function, so that it is able to handle and to cope live – than will nature start with the prelude of birth. But it is the Baby himself who chooses and designates the start and the beginning of birth.” This is the reason why babies are never the same length of time in the womb of the mother. One time even until 4 weeks over it and the other time 4 weeks under it: this is for every baby different. Therefore when the baby has been through the time of practice and training time – the practicing contractions – and it says okay I will, than will it start in co-operation with the contractions of the mother (the Holy Spirit) to press itself a way through the birth channel: To come than in an even much bigger place to train and to exercise. This is the moment where upon the baby is been brought in a position that it is able to be born. “But the Baby has to WILL THIS for itself.” And normally this is something it really wants and longs for; than the place where it is in becomes to small and to narrow and growing further is not possible anymore! This is the moment whereupon services and ministries are been born who are brought to live through the Holy Spirit. I had a time of pregnancy of more than 25 years! And even in this time there were many times whereupon I thought that everything was death. But God proved after every storm in my live – that the baby was still there but that it still needed time to grow before that it could and may come to the light. I had to fight and to battle for this baby – even at the last moment of birth God warned me to be silent because else they would come and kill the Prophetic child. But I can not say more about that now! Let us go back to our Midwife Beathe.

9

DO THE PARENTS DEFINE AND REGULATE WHEN THE BABY HAS TO BE BORN? Or Midwife Beathe furthermore told me about parents who decide and regulate themselves the time of the birth of the Baby, and I was very astonished about that. Beathe: “Even more and more parents make and choose to decide for a premature time of birth. That this must have very serious consequences for the baby, I think that is very clear. It has not yet practiced enough, and it is for sure not ready and set for the battle of birth. Everything what than happens is completely against that what it has learned to know, and suddenly without any warning it is been kicked out of his warm bed, without any preparation or forewarning.” You could compare it with an infant who has to be, from one moment on the other, a teenager. You make than a jump to be suddenly in the age of a teenager. That this has catastrophic consequences must be very clear for every one. When I did understand Beathe correctly, a not natural method is been appropriated, through the injection of chemical products, to start a premature birthing process. The baby is not yet strong enough, but it is been enforced to battle and to fight although it has not yet been through the process of the “practicing contractions,” or maybe only partially, to a certain degree. The baby still has room and space enough to grow and it is not yet his time. Beathe: “The reasons why the baby has to come now, are often very egoistic self-centered and without any love: Only two weeks and than we have vacation and . . . I have enough of it, it has to come out now . . . . It is a burden and a trouble for me . . . . I want that everything is over now . . . The worst of this all is that the heart and the soul of the baby experiences all this, and because of that, it knows by the time of birth that it is not willed and not wished. What than happens is that the baby comes out of a protected area in a hostile environment. The baby has a feeling to be a burden and a trouble for the parents and shall grow up like that in behavior and manner. It will be born with feelings of rejection, of not being wished and of not being loved. It will have problems with minority feelings and it will always try to earn love. The statement I make here is: It is never unto the parents (Pastors, Shepherds, Evangelists, Apostles or Prophets) to decide when the baby shall be born. It is always the baby who decides and defines this moment. In cooperation with the mother (the Holy Spirit) is the time and the moment of birth been defined. It is so that shortly before birthing the baby go’s through a storm of contractions. It is been grasped through the Spirit of God and it is only able to go into the direction which the Holy Spirit designates for him. It is been forced to place and to move itself in the birth channel, when it has not already fallen into it. Here in, are many spiritual truths to recognize considering the birth of a ministry, but I will not go into this now, I just wanted to give you a hint, to seek for it for yourself. When you look at this all, than you can see and recognize very clearly that baby’s apparently have to fight and to battle: to have the will to be born at all. Because when they, in the time of pregnancy – nine long months – hear time on time again negative words, like: “this stupid baby, the baby is a burden and a trouble to me, I have enough of it, you have to come out now, and many more cold and rejecting words, they have not the will to come out. And than we do not even speak about all the negative, destructive emotional feelings which the mother has over her baby, which the soul of the baby experiences, because they do feel that; so it will very surely not want to come out than. Yes, it will do everything to be able to stay in the womb. 10

But when it hears the lovely voice of his mother, who tells him/her day after day how much she loves you and that she with great joy wants to learn to know you and that it is her strong desire to hold you in her arms, than this is a totally different perspective for the baby. And through this the mother will have build a relationship with her baby even before that it is been born and the baby shall have because of that already a relationship with his mother before that it is been born. And when there is one voice that the Baby knows, it is the voice of the mother (Holy Spirit). It trusts this voice and this voice gives a feeling of protection and comfort. It is this voice that gives it the power, the strength and the will to be born. Yes everything is New and uncertain but together with mother is it a great adventure! “Beathe or midwife told me that the baby wants to come to the light. It knows of this light which is at the other side and it has great joy because of that at the moment of birth, which is normally the case. The baby comes from darkness into the light. Also is the baby able to feel and to experience the joy of the parents in his soul.” Yes it comes out of a hidden place in a public place. What was hidden for more than nine months is becoming visible. But not only that, the baby will finely be able to look into the eyes of the mother who has carried it and helped it to come through this heavy time of birth. It will finely be able to see and to hear even clearer and clearer to whom this voice belongs. Before birth and at the time of birth it has heard this lovely voice who spoke to him/her: “Come, still a short way, together we will make it. I will give you the strength you need and you only need to have a strong will. A little bit of fighting a small battle and you push yourself of and I will be able to hold you in my arms.” O what a great secret there is between the mother and her child compared to the church and the Holy Spirit. In this time of nine months the mother is able to destroy the soul of her baby or to strengthen it so that it is strong and the soul satisfied and balanced so that it is able to start to conquer the world. The fight and battle starts already with the moment of the intruding of the sperm cells in the egg (the house or the growing temple). Only the victor is the lucky one who will be able to see live to its fullest. The battle and fight starts already before the conception! And than I do not even speak about the many fail births, the miscarriages, than also these are there! My woman, of whom I am divorced now, had two miscarriages, of which one she did not tell me. Do you see the fight, the battle for live? Who doesn’t want to fight or want to battle has already lost. God has given us at birth the will to fight and to battle, because He knows in what kind of world we are born; a world who is been dominated and controlled through the prince of this world, Satan himself. With the natural birth we have to do with a normal battle, but with a not natural birth, there has to be fought to a measure of live and death. And until now we have only spoken about the normal natural birth. And although the “premature birth” – when it is not manipulated through the injection of chemical products - is not completely after the rules of Gods will and nature, will the baby be able to handle and to manage this, to carry it away when it is grown up strong and healthy in the mothers womb; and therefore can we count this also under a natural birth. The next we gone talk about is the opposite!

11

A NOT NATURAL BIRTH The C-section is a curse as well for the mother as for the Baby. I am completely convinced of it that a C-section, when it is absolutely not necessary – and only is been requested because of selfishness – that it gives the demonic world many rights, to destroy in mother and child a lot of things. Because of that my former wife had to bring all our sons to birth with a C-section, I know very well considering this curse. Because what woman or mother doesn’t want to have a natural birth? . . . . . O Yes, I asked a question and I will also answer this question for you! It is the woman who loves themselves more as their baby who does not want to have a natural birth. These women live for their own live. It is this kind of woman who doesn’t want to have a natural birth. And than there are also the women who have fear for a natural birth more as for a Csection, because Satan was able to whisper this into their ears and to place it into their hearts. I asked Beathe the following question: “what is for you today the greatest difference and worse in how babies are been born as in some years ago? She didn’t need to think long about that, because almost directly she gave me this answer: “In earlier times, the baby’s still had a chance and they were given a possibility through a normal birth to come upon this world and to see the light. The positive consequence for the baby was; that because of that, it was trained and prepared to cope live. Today the woman desire more and more for a C-section. And when you ask for the reason why they want to have a C-section, than you get to hear the most egoistic reasons starting with: “I do not want to go through the pain and the labors of a natural birth – and ending with an answer like: I want that my body stays in good shape and stays beautiful. Just so in between, being a midwife is one of the oldest and most honorable professions there is on this earth.

THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT C-SECTIONS The normal C-section and the egoistic self-centered C-section. 1e - The normal C-section! - First we have the C-section were the Baby is already fallen into the birth channel. But through complications it is not able for the baby to come through the birth channel. For instance at a position were the womb is lying crooked and that because of that the head of the baby is pushing against the pelvis. When at that moment there is not an involvement and an interference, than would the force and the strength of the contractions to push the baby through the birth channel, be catastrophic and it would squeeze the head of the baby; It would become totally deformed and the brains could be damaged and the baby can become because of that invalid or even been born death. Than we have also the situation were the baby is completely entangled in the navel-line, but this happens very seldom and also than somebody has to interfere, else the baby would choke itself and with every birth contraction it would strangle himself. With the first form of a C-section the baby’s have already fought and battled a battle and also have they been through the phase of “practicing contractions.” Even “co laboring” and the will to be born and to start these themselves they have been through. O´ yes very surely, these baby’s come more as born upon this world. The Woman who brings a child to birth with the first form of a Csection, they have had only one wish; “a natural birth!” But because that these women are fighters and warriors of nature, they will wait till the last moment to bring to birth their child though a C12

section. These women are prepared to take upon them everything and to go through the worst’s of pain hurt and sufferings to bring to birth the most precious and the most beautiful gift a woman is able to give and what they have carried under their heart in a time period of 9 long months. But when they experience and notice that after many contractions and after the Storming contractions, the baby just doesn’t come out of the birth channel, but that the baby is stuck and that there is something that holds them, grasps them – than screams the heart and the soul of the Woman and the heart of the Mother battles.

THAN AGAIN A STORM OF CONTRACTIONS The beating of the heart of the baby gets weaker and weaker; and again and again comes a storm of contractions and the beat of the little heart is becoming more and more weaker and weaker. The baby fights for his live and the mother is wrestling with all her feelings and emotions. ”What have I done wrong, is God not there? Where is He now?” The baby is in danger to die and a couple of times the heart beat of the love of her heart have already fallen away. She has had all the FAITH and hoped upon a natural birthing! God can do a miracle so she thought! And she looks into the eyes of her husband – who is also desperately looking into her eyes! He feels guilty! He wrestles with his FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD ALSO! He has no words of comfort for her, and feels even somehow separated of the one he loves so much, HE WOULD DIE FOR HER, TO GIVE HER THIS ONE NATURAL BIRTHING, BUT EVEN THAN? “God where are you? And while he looks back into her eyes he sees the deep despair and the fear into these lovely brown eyes! And he desires to switch places with her but he knows she has to go through this. And I am just as desperate as my wife and I ask myself: “Why God do you allow us to go through this? Why is He letting taken this place, or is it not God?” The Doctor urges upon a decision, and again I look into the eyes of my dear love one which are now full of tears – we have to decide but she has the final decision. Again a storm of contractions and the heart-beats of the baby fall away. After a short time they come back again. I look again into her eyes and see how helpless she feels, left alone. She has to decide to Sign the papers for a Csection or going on with the risk that her son which she loves with whole her heart and which she has carried nine long months under her heart: dies, because of that she wants to have cost what it cost a natural birthing? No, she rather lets it go and takes upon herself all the pain and the sufferings which are much, much more worse as a natural birthing. She must have felt SO ALONE, so helpless and as if I have betrayed her. The only thing I could say was that there was no other way as . . . The love of my heart has given me on these way three miracles from heaven and I am more than just proud upon that. She has given me the most precious she was able to give. She had not only to fight a physical battle and a war; no much more is that she had to fight with her heart and soul; she had to battle with her emotions and feelings. And this happened in our lives and marriage three times in a row! And all three of my sons were more as willed and wished despite 13

all the pain and the hurt we both went through. We had both a great desire to hold our sons in the arms. And I will be honest – it is not any sooner as the first moment that I started to write at this Book that I was able - in a certain measure and in a certain degree – to feel and to understand where my ex wife has gone through to be able to give me these beautiful sons. She fought like a bear and like a Lion fights for her children.

2e – The egoistic self-centered C-section! I have given it this name because it has everything to do with selfishness. The second form of a C-section is where the baby has not yet fallen in the birth-channel and it is still in the womb of the mother. The baby is not prepared upon anything and from one second upon the other, it comes into the light and feels how the cold air is toughing him/her. It will never ever be able to go back into the save, warm, and protected home again. The baby was not given a chance to be able to co-labor with the situation, it was not able to push itself of to come into the birth-channel and it didn’t need to fight or to battle to be born. It is not outgrown physically as well as that the soul is not fully formed and outgrown. This means that the baby is been grasped and grabbed out of his situation.

GRASPING AND GRABBING THE BABY With this second form of a C-section it means that the baby is been grasped, grabbed and been taken out of the body of the mother. You can compare it with a teenager who is at home laying in his warm bed, sleeping a good sleep and than suddenly from one second upon the other the roof is been broken open, a strange hand comes and puts him on the street in front of the door of his house. It is been broken in into the private atmosphere of the Baby. There is not been asked after his will, they just rule over him. A violently rulership is been practiced over him and over his live. With the normal C-section is this not the case. With the C-section were the baby is been grasped and grabbed is it so that his protected home is been destroyed, to it comes that he is been touched through Latex gloves, which are strange and it does not know it in contrary to real skin. Because the baby is not really wished – what in the first form of C-section is not the case – it is been confronted with pure rejection and denial. What is happening here in the spiritual world? The baby is in a different place and is been cut of from mother and has only one wish; Mother? And how it so very often is, mother has very often at that moment only one wish and that is to be left alone. She first has to digest the C-section, because it was not at all as beautiful as she thought that it would be. Inwardly she rejects the baby and the baby his soul feels this and will be marked for the rest of his live! And I know were I am speaking about, because I was also a baby like that, who was been rejected through his mother, shortly after birth; the first 6 Months and more! My mother didn’t want to have anything to do with me! And this not only for one day no, for many years! Being cuddled, hugged and receiving normal physical contact and love of my mother I have not known that for many years. My young soul had to deal with rejection and denial of his mother and this for a very long time, with consequences which were disastrous and devastating for my soul. And today we live surrounded with children who do not know anything else as rejection, not being accepted and not being loved. Only God was able to heal these wounds of my soul. But at that time I didn’t knew Him.

14

The motivation and the reason why my mother rejected me is my decease were with I was born. A decease which is incurable for man – I had a blood decease hemophilia.* There are Two types in different degrees, I had the worst of them the A rhesus Positive. The thought of my mother was that I had to die, so or so – this is what the doctors had said to her – so why should she invest her heart and soul into that baby – it would only hurt her more at the moment that I would die. My mother believed the Words of the doctors and created emotionally a distance between me and her heart. Than came to it that as a little baby I had at least twice a brain bleeding – and look at me now, I am still healthy! I believe that God had His hand into this, because He wanted me to live and because He had great plans for my live. So there arose an enormous battle and a spiritual warfare because of my live and because of that I have been set apart before I was born to become a Prophet for the Nations. And very surely, my father and mother have fought and battled for my live, but not any sooner as that my mother recognized and she could see, that I WOULD LIVE! That was the moment that she again started to do her best to invest her heart and soul into her first and eldest son. And how she has battled with the Doctors for my benefit: so that it would go better and better with me. She has battled for me and I loved her very much; but this deep mother and son relationship, which comes to existence only shortly after birth, I have never had that. And although I loved my mother very much, it was so that at the moments that she laid her hands lovingly upon my head, that everything within me jumped up and that a cold chilling feeling came up and chained my heart. Today I know that it were demonic powers which had my heart under their control. They made and took care of it that I felt rejected an not loved, although my mother with everything what she had done has proven more than 10.000 times that she would do EVERYTHING for me, to make my live a worthy live. What came forth out of that was that I NEVER, SELDOM OR HARDLY EVER KNEW THAT I WAS LOVED. I was not willed and a mistake and therefore I was born as not willed, an ACCIDENT! Who would have been amazed that that there was written upon me: “REJECTED, ABANDONED NOT LOVED.” I was a temple of Demonic abandonment and rejection! So do not tell me that I should stop with speaking about Battle and warfare and that I exaggerate or overstate this. I live because my mother has fought for me and because of that Jesus has given Himself COMPLETELY away for me, for my soul, for my heart. He has given His live and His soul for me. He poured it out as a sacrifice for my sin so that I may live and have my SOUL-LIFE IN ALL ABUNDANCE. My whole life is marked and designated of battle and strive; negative as positive. One of the positive things which have developed out of that is my strong will-power! This was Gods idea, I am sure of that! Satan has tried to kill me; Well, God has made of me that I will be one of his most awful enemy’s! I know my enemy and I know it is also Gods enemy; but it is also YOUR ENEMY! And together with the Spirit of God I command and invoke you NOW to fight and to battle against everything what suppresses your “SOUL” to be able to love God Passionately with Fire and Zeal!

* Hemophilia is a rare genetic bleeding disorder that almost always occurs in males. A person has hemophilia when he or she inherits problems with certain blood-clotting factors, making them unable to work properly. Blood-clotting factors are needed to help stop bleeding after a cut or injury and to prevent spontaneous bleeding. The hemophilia gene can contain many different errors, leading to different degrees of abnormality in the amount of clotting factor produced. Severe hemophilia: Clotting factor VIII or clotting factor IX level is less than 1% of normal. Bleeding often happens one or more times a week for no apparent reason (spontaneously). Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of active clotting factor VIII (8). Approximately 1 out of every 5,000 male babies is born with hemophilia A.

Today I teach about battle and warfare, about becoming a combatant and being a hero in the battle and I will become one of Satan’s greatest nightmares! So let nobody come to me to tell me that I am exaggerating too much when I teach about battle and war! It starts with our birth and it will not stop any sooner as that we have HUNTED AND DESTROYED our enemy from our inheritance.

HE DESIRES TO KILL EVERY BABY The will of your enemy is; no the strong desire and the passion of your enemy is that every human child is been killed; that their souls become a playground of demons and that these body’s and corpses starts to destroy and to kill what God so beautifully has made. To achieve this goal he gives and brings into their reach as much as he is able all different kinds of deathly toys and the consequences of it are that these children become demonic temples of the shadows of hell, death and terror. At the end they have than a soul like Judas or a soul like bar-abas, the murder who is been set free instead of Jesus. Every child that is been born without passionate believing parents, is directly born under the ruler ship of the prince of this world. And than I have not even spoken about the inherit sin of the ancestors. My own sons and this all three had as a baby to fight to stay alive; they had to battle for it and this already before they were born. With the first and the second one it was even so that the navel line was winded around their neck. So it was totally impossible for them to come out without the Csection. I remember myself of a day that my wife in our house, walks down the stairs, and while she is doing that – at the end of the time of her pregnancy, shortly before the birth of our eldest son Nathan – somebody on the stairs hold her feet. At the moment that I heard her cry for help – I was in the living room – I jumped up to help my wife – but I could never ever be that quick as that she falls down the stairs. How surprised I was - after that she told me what had happened - that she stood down the stairs. Still shaking she told me that I would never ever had been able to catch her, but there was an angel who did catch her so that she landed with her feet softly on the ground. Is God not really good! I remember also of another day late in the evening where we were on the way back home. We just came back of our weekly gathering as house-church and we wanted to cross the street. My wife pushed the baby carriage of our eldest son and I walked at the left site beside her. Before we wanted to cross the street we looked both to the right and left site to be sure it is save and very far away at my left site we could see a car approaching us; but time enough to cross the street; but than happened something which we had never ever counted with. The driver of the car must have been trodden upon the gas pedal, because the car accelerated rapidly and very quick and tried to ride us over; we were under attack! Suddenly in the midst of the street our lives were in danger, because we could never ever reach safely the other site of the street. We saw how suddenly the lights of the car came dangerously close to us. There was only one thing what we could do and that was screaming: “Lord HELP!” And than suddenly we both felt an enormous push in our back and suddenly we stood all three at the other site of the street. My wife and me we looked each other in the eyes and we started to praise and to worship our God. Both had we felt this push in our back; and again were it angels who had saved our lives. You know, there is someone who died for you and me and who has given His live for you. But the one, who has prepared this sacrifice for us, is the Father. He has given His Son so that you can live again. And this Father loves you above everything else and He has a love in his heart which is far greater as the love of a mother. Therefore you can say that He wars and battles more as a mother for your heart and soul. A Mother would give her live to be able to save her children, but God the 16

Father who has created the heart and soul of the mother, would do the same as her, because He has put it into her, it is His very own character and nature. There is nothing as unselfish as a mother (normally). Out of this all what I have laid before you to see and to discern, you must now be able to recognize very clearly that both have to have a battling spirit, the spirit of one who battles and fights. I believe that as soon as the seed-cell intrudes the egg, to make a place in the womb of the mother, there arises a battle and a war because of the child what has to be born. And I do not even want to think about how many Babies’ loose this battle already before they are born and are being killed because of the inherited sin of the parents giving the demons the right to do this. This comes over maybe very harsh and insensitive, but it is not, in no way; its real, its reality, its truth. God visits the sin of the fathers at least till within the third generation. And when in one of these generations there is one who commits the same sin than the counting starts from there anew! Our children are born into a war were they do not even know anything of it; they have no idea of it. It is the war which starts at the moment of conception because of their heart and soul; the war to have the right to be able to control and to influence their soul. One is the control and guidance unto death and the other is unto LIVE. Blessed and protected are the baby’s and the children who have fighting, praying parents behind them in their lives, who understand that from the moment of conception a spiritual war has to be battled. Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; and this enmity shall finely bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply and increase your sorrow Itstsabown and thy conception Herown; and in and with sorrow Etseb thou shalt bring forth children; (it’s a battle physically and spiritually) and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Herown hay-rone' oder Nwyrh herayown hay-raw-yone' - AV-conception; 1Gen.3:16 / Ruth.4:13 / Hos.9:11 1) Pregnancy, becoming pregnant. 1a) Time of conceiving, the time of pregnancy Itstsabown its-tsaw-bone Worrisomeness, i.e. labor or pain: - sorrow, toil. Etseb eh'- tseb; from 06087; an earthen vessel; usually (painful) toil; also a pang (whether of body or mind):- grievous, idol, labor, sorrow.

The consequences of the Enmity between the seed of Satan and the seed of the Woman is WAR; War between her seed and his seed. And this STARTS already at the time of CONCEPTION! So maybe the Woman shall bare more easy children and with less pain and hurt because the curse is been taken away, but the WAR REMAINS! So we have to wage a battle against demonic forces who desire to kill and to destroy the baby’s from the time of conception! His goal is to kill, to annihilate and to destroy whole of Humanity, so as bad and evil as he is, he starts to wage WAR against the innocent, the weak, and the unborn child! WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE AS SPIRITUAL WARRIORS AND PARENTS ARE THEIR ONLY PROTECTION! But this again only if we have a BOND RELATIONSHIP with God! Without that they are an easy prey into the hands of devils and demons! They are been enslaved and become truly the seed of Satan! Although he has not conceived us we become his children and he our father as Jesus quotes: “You have Satan as your father, because you Listen and obey the lie”

17

Here have we husbands to take a stand and here we have to fight and to battle to protect both, our woman and her offspring! And you will see that still than the children are been born with great spiritual Labor and pain. No matter the curse or not – we have to FIGHT, AS PARENTS, but do you see now that the Woman has to have the Spirit of a warrior as well as the Child? And we husbands have to do our part also; so that the Battle is smallest as possible. We have to put up a wall of safety and protection! We are with the Bond relationship we have with our God their protection. But it is still WAR! So it is fighting or DIEING! The greater the Call over your live the more interested the Enemy will be to destroy and to kill your live! To destroy your heart and soul, to enslave and to martyr it! He is trembling and he is full of fear for the offspring of the Woman, the Church of God. He commanded to kill and to destroy all the manly baby’s in the area of Jerusalem because of the War against Gods Son, who was to be born. The same principle we see with the moment of birth and conception of Moses and with some other great man of God in History! And because Satan is not able to see everything what God plans are, he is roaring like a Lion to try to catch everything what comes in his pawns! He is thirsty for blood, because he knows he has lost the war and his time ends! There were voices of people, of Christians even, who had said to my woman: “Well, you had it easy with the C-section you had!” And at these moments I wanted to strike them; blow them in their face, hit them one left and right; but as a Christian you do not do that, so I brought my hurt heart, because of my woman, to the Lord. As if my woman didn’t need to fight and to battle and as if of she has not born our sons and gave birth and had to fight for the live of my three sons, Nathan, Joél and Johannes?! All have given her the feeling as if she had not brought to birth our three sons. But I know better as any one else how great her battle was to be able to have a normal natural birthing. When there is one who had to labor and to suffer physical and emotional pains: it was the love of my heart; not only physical, no much more the hurt of her soul. Just think about it what she had to endure hearing such things of your own Christian brothers and sisters; that is like as if someone is piercing through your heart and soul with a knife! But also were there demonic powers on the playground and as young Christians we didn’t know very much about the battle and the war around our children and how to fight this war at the start! And I am teaching it you now; because nobody has come to us to teach us these things, nor did we have knowledge and were we greatly conscious about it. But Gods Grace was exceedingly great over our lives, supporting us with some revelation knowledge! We were blessed with some consciousness of the demonic world. And because of the things which happened in our lives we knew that someone tried very hard to kill the offspring of us! In a short moment we come back to the necessity of having the Spirit of a warrior and what it is! I think that you were able to see the Spirit of a warrior in the Woman who gives birth to a child and even in the baby himself! And when I surrender myself completely and whole (100%) into the hands of God, with Fire, enthusiasm, zeal and passion; because I have a desire for it and I covet for it, I want it (desire, covet, expression of strong will) with everything I have and what I am, well than is that the moment that passion and the Spirit of a Warrior is been born. This is the Spirit of a warrior! This is battling and fighting a war against what it is that you have to fight against. And I remember you now, that we have two forms of passion! We still stay at the example of children to be able to discern what it is: the Spirit of a warrior. And as so very often are there also children who do not know what they desire for and passion is for them an unknown word in their vocabulary. They mark no goals in their live and they just live as it comes. Actually they do not do very much – they are often very obedient – accept than that they have a lack of their own will and that they always let others decide for them. 18

NO WARRIOR SPIRIT There are two things what Satan wants and desires to involve us with and these are: Rebellion and passivity! With other words, willing the wrong things and having no will at all. Both I have been through and both of them I learned to know thoroughly! And the most of us do, but I enlighten it here so that you are able to recognize and to see some things clearer, so that you know where to fight against. Because Satan desires that we are not conscious and that we do not have knowledge of these things so that nothing will change and he still will be able to hold his hidden grip upon your live, upon your heart and soul. I rebelled in my young years, as almost all do, and I ended in being involved in passivity as a mature adult. Having the feeling that I can not change anything! And this is a trap and a blunt lie! This character of passivity we will find it in the adult’s as well as with the children. I have to acknowledge and I confess here that I was guilty of this character as a husband and as a father of my sons. I was one of those who always postponed everything: “Taking a decision today, battle with it, no very surely not.” So I postponed everything and this was a great suffixation and a burden for my woman. Not being able or not willing to decide in many situations in my live, to battle with it for my woman, my children and myself, has brought me into many problems! It is one of the Major characters of “giving up and stopping to fight and to battle,” yes of being without a will. And there is nothing more badly for those who live with you as to be somebody who is unable to decide and to take decisions and to be one who is not having the will to will anything. He or she, who is unable to take decisions, is also unable to decide with his will and completely unable to bare any responsibility! I will give you a very simple example of a situation in live of every day. Here it is an ice crème, but you can fill it in for everything what your heavenly Father desires and wants to give to you. Daddy: Son: Daddy: Son: Daddy: Son:

„What kind of ice crème do you want to have my son? “ „I do not know daddy, I have no idea! “ „Yes, but you have to choose and you have to decide for something! “ „I don’t know, I have no idea! “ „What is it that you want, a chocolate ice or one with Vanillin? “ „I do not know. “

Do you maybe recognize this example? There is nothing more terrible for a father or a husband when he desires to do his wife or his children something good and he asks what they desire for and what they wish, and they answer with: “I don’t know; I have no idea!” Yes but what is it that you desire for, what is it that you wish for? They want nothing, they have no wish and are not able to decide, they don’t care a pap for it. This hurts the father of the child and the husband of the woman very much! He is been wounded and hurt because of one thing; he is not able to do something good for them and the other thing is that he sees that there is not much willpower! Maybe they fear him or they have fear for making a wrong decision? Well with an ice-crème it would not have been a great problem if they decided wrongly; the father had just simply bought the son another flavor of ice, and the son had learned that - let’s say – it wouldn’t like vanillin ice-crème. And the father would have smiled seeing how he eats his second ice with great joy, because he likes chocolate! But when you had bought for the love of your heart a gift for her birthday and it is something she has chosen for, but this under the pressure to decide for something; and she recognizes later on that she has no pleasure at the gift at all which she has decided for; than the decisions have greater 19

consequences and is it more delicate. To avoid future misunderstandings and to clear this out of the way, the woman has to talk with her husband about it. But to be able to do this she has to will something, and to have a wish and a desire for it; and not just nodding her head. And when the will for it, is not there, than we have to do with a man or a woman who has an enslaved spirit, a bowed down spirit/will; and when it comes to battling and fighting, this person will give in and choose the way of the smallest amount of resistance. And I know very well where I talk about; because I have been for a very long time on the way of giving in to the smallest amount of resistance. This passive attitude and character of having no fire and no zeal to fight and to battle against what suppresses you; we can see this very clearly into the lives of many people in the Word of God, and they received the reward of their passive attitude. Those who know me know that I love it to make use of Antonyms/opposites just like Paul loved to do that. And because of that we will first have a look at the opposite; and for this we go to the Old Testament to have a look at what we can find there as examples of a passive attitude of not willing and being unable to fight against what suppresses. It is the opposite of a spirit and a will to combat, to fight and to battle against what has to be conquered. It is nothing else as the mentality and the character of a slave; a bound and enslaved spirit. A very good example of this is the people of God under the guidance of Moses. Their willpower is so what of melted away that even after many miracles and signs they still desire to run back under the oppression of Egypt, because of the resistance which comes up from Pharaoh his site, to bring them back under his tyranny! The most important thing for them was that their flesh got were it longed for. Fighting and warring a combat to be able to live and to stay free? No, very surely not; they wanted to run out of the dessert, back to Egypt, which was the major intention of their heart. Rebellion comes not up just like that; it comes primarily to the surface because of that Flesh and soul have their rulership. Where flesh and soul controls the appetites and the lusts, there is no life giving passion fire and zeal to combat and to fight, but nothing else as a passive character and an attitude of UNBELIEF! No matter how many miracles you see in your live!

Chapter 2

AN OPPRESSED WILL A BROKEN SPIRIT AND REBELLION The opposite of a free living spirit and a will to combat and to fight is the spirit of a slave; with other words the mentality and the character of a slave. It is an oppressed, bind, laid in chains, broken will that can do nothing else as to obey! A spirit – WILL – and soul who stands under the dictatorship of his own soul and because of that under the control and the dominion of the oppression of demonic forces in the air. And this is true for this world, but also for the Christians. It was true for Pharaoh as well as for Gods people. In a short moment we will go deeper into this and than you will see more clearly how true this really is. It is so that when my heart and soul is not been placed under the Authority, command and leadership of Gods Will, having a place in the Kingdom of God, being placed into the heavenly realms, in Christ Jesus; that my soul will always be a subject to be disposed to the influence, the Control and the dominion of the monarch of this World and his demons. A good example of this all we do find in the people of God under the guidance of Moses. Their will to combat and to fight against the oppression of the ruler of this World is so what from melted away; that even after having seen all the different kind of miracles and signs and wonders, which God acted out through the hand of His Servant Moses, they still had a desire to come back under the dictatorship and the tyranny of Pharaoh, back under the dominion of Egypt – the World and his structures. Well as long as the flesh got what it desired, they would do everything for it. But waging war, fighting a fight and combating to be able to stay free? No, very surely not. “Let God do the fighting and let Him war for us!” Had they forgotten that in the War against Amalek, they came out of the battle as victors and conquerors? No, the only thought they had on the way to Canaan, which time on time again, rose up out of their hearts, was that they wanted to go back to Egypt. They never get rid of this thought as an intention of their heart and because of that their heart was actually still in Egypt; the consequence of it was that they had riot after riot and that they did rebel time on time again against Moses and his leadership. The heart and the core of this rebellion was always that they desired to go back to Egypt. And every riot did not just fall out of the air out of nothing; no every riot came mainly to existence because of that they were still under the control and the tyranny of their flesh and soul, controlling their lives, their thoughts and the intensions of their hearts. Not Gods Word/Will was able to guide and to direct them and to rule over their hearts, no it was their own will and their own desires, passions and lusts which controlled and dominated their hearts and soul and the demons having their dictatorship through the passions and the lust of the flesh. Where flesh and soul have dominion and dictatorship and not Gods Word and will – there can not be a Biblical will and a spirit to combat and to fight, or to fight against what is against Gods will. What you will find there is a wrong striving, a wrong pursuit, a coveting after, a resisting, an opposing and a refusing against that what is Gods will. Yes they went out of Egypt – the world its structures and its principles – but with their thoughts and the intensions of their hearts they remained very often at the meat tables of Egypt. They desired and lusted after the tables of Egypt, to eat of the table of Pharaoh, of that what is of Satan and his demons. 21

A wrong will to combat and to fight a wrong striving, a wrong pursuit, a wrong coveting after things we desire for, is always REBELLION AND DISOBEDIENCE in the Kingdom of God, because you do that what God doesn’t want. And when you do that what God doesn’t want, what He has no desire for, than this is always rebellion and disobedience. You activate your from God given will and you appropriate it wrongly. That is the same thing as wrong passion, passion of heart, wrong lust and desire; of which we already talked about. These both things: “Rebellion, disobedience and wrong passion, passion of heart, lust and desire are inseparable chained to each other; they belong together. Wrong passion, wrong zeal, fire, enthusiasm, wrong lust and desire are ALWAYS an opposing against Gods will; a form and an expression of fighting and battling a combating against the will of God. It is an attitude of enmity against God which is becoming visible through rebellion and disobedience. Romans 8:5-8 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Okay, I know the Word of God is not always clear to understand and therefore I give you down here a Magnified version of the Truth! And I will keep on doing this as the Spirit of God prompts me to do so. For those who are adjusting their lives according to the flesh, mind think over and put the priorities on the things of the flesh. And the ones, who want to live according to the Spirit mind, think over and put their priorities on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to put the priorities on the things of the flesh and to mind, to think them over, is bringing forth death, but to mind, and to think over, and to put the priorities on the things of the Spirit is life and peace; 7 And thinking over and putting the priorities on the things of the flesh is enmity towards God; for it (the flesh – mind and soul) does not submit and surrender itself to the law – 1e, 2e and 3e level of the WILL - of God; because it is not able to do that. 8 And those who live their lives according to their flesh/SOUL will never be able to please God. Magnified Okay, now that we have had the introduction for the second chapter; we are able to have a good and clear sight, and now we will have a closer look upon the example of Israel; what happens with you and me when we have the character and the mentality of an enslaved spirit, an oppressed, bind, laid in chains will, a will who is not capable to battle and to fight for faith and belief; and this because of that our natural senses are the only reality!

PHARAOH WAS FULL OF FEAR The people of God, His chosen Nation with the Name Israel – what means something like mighty warrior – had to grow and to become strong and this in the land of Egypt, at Goshen. This was by no means the final destination but much more one of the smaller destinations which had to lead to the Major destination, goal and Plan of God; the taking in and capturing of the Promised Land which was the Major destination, which was prophesied and promised from God to their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But after that Joseph died and his generation, there came up another generation which was not able anymore to keep this goal and destination in mind and to be focused upon that destination. There purpose became just to survive, nothing more; to survive and to stay alive under a pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph and the things he had done for that nation.

22

And you would almost not believe it, but the Word of God is quoting it: this Pharaoh was full of fear and terrified of the people of Israel. They were so many and if they had willed and had a desire after it than they would have been able - in a riot - to make Egypt to their servants and slaves, so numerous they were! Pharaoh had recognized this danger very well, but the people of God were not even able to see and recognize that! So Pharaoh made their live very hard so that they would not be able to see it at all! And because of that there was only one thing they had before their eyes which was to wrestle and to battle to be able to deliver the amount of clay stones for every day which Pharaoh demanded; and this for fortifying the walls of Egypt. But the more Pharaoh oppressed the people of God, the more they became! Fruitful as God had made the people of God they became very numerous and Pharaoh started to sweat fear and was full off horror. And his fear made him very creative in thinking up things how to oppress the people of God even more. But all his vicious, cruel ideas had no effect in diminishing the people of God. So he tried it with murder, achieving to bribe those midwifes who helped the Hebrew woman to birth their children. But they had a greater respect and fear for God as for Pharaoh, so they didn’t hear upon the words of Pharaoh and let of trying to kill the baby boys. And you can see here very clearly that Satan tried to kill the savior which was promised from God as a rescuer of the people of God. Exodus 1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. 13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour. 15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, = Fair – Good, honest, and the name of the other Puah = Splendid, marvelous: 16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. 18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? 19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. 20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. 22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. At first it was with trickery and corruption, but as this all had no effect it chanced in a deathly charge to rise up against the people of God to kill all the baby boys: and in our lives it is not much different. When he is not able to bind and chain our will as he had in mind, he will get after us and he will try to kill us. And when he is not succeeding in that – because he will not be able to bring us down with the weapons he has chosen to fight against us, because this is one of our inheritances that no weapon formed against us will be effective, although it sometimes is effective and this for several reasons – anyway, when he is not succeeding in that, he will take care for a riot! And than we shall know that we are not of this world but that we are only in this world. But I believe and I know that we live in a time and a dispensation of time that we as a whole NATION will rise up against the oppressor and the tormentor, the god of this world and that we are gone take in our inheritance. Enough is enough! It is time that the people of God learn how to battle and to combat and come to the knowledge of heart that they are BORN VICTORS! 23

In the time of Moses Israel is still designated, chosen and elected to be by birth and inheritance a conqueror, a mighty warrior with God at his site to defeat the enemy of God; but they do not know it, nor do they know God! But God the Father has a Plan to deliver them out of the hands of the oppressor and the tormenter, to deliver them from the captivity under the ruler ship of pharaoh. So let us read about Gods Plan! Exodus 2:1-10, 23 And there went a man of the house of Levi, (CLEAVE UNTO GOD) and took to wife a daughter of Levi (CLEAVE UNTO GOD). 2 And the women conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a godly child, she hid him three months. 3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to witness what would be done to him. 5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. 7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, because I drew him out of the water. 23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

A DISHEARTENED MOSES Moses was in his eighties as God called him to be the instrument into Gods hands to take His people away from under the tyranny of pharaoh. The explosive short tempered passionate Moses had ones killed a man and was now in his desert time experience in Median. His wrong passion had given him problems in his live, time on time again. In the 40 years that he had his desert time, the place were he was separated unto God, God worked very hard at him to remodel him and to transform him; and so he became the meekest and most humble man who has been there until the time of his history. More humble as Noah, Abraham and Isaac. In the times before that, he must have thought something like: “I am the son of Pharaoh, I have the power and others have to bow down upon my word” But he became a shepherd and he served his grandfather Jethro, who was a priest, serving God in Median. God had really got him very timid, really, downhearted; he wasn’t that spirited anymore; he was very much died at himself, almost too much. Than he suddenly had an encountering with God, which he didn’t knew at all as only from the stories of his mother and his grandfather Jethro. Exodus 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said; here I am. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy 24

shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. 7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? You see here very clearly that Moses, on a different way as Gods people, is discouraged and disheartened, he has a bowed down spirit and his will is somehow broken. But anyway, he wasn’t anymore the big macho self doing type of man who wanted to do everything on his own. The strength, the power and the spiritedness of his will was somehow just as broken and crushed as that of Gods people. He had, I think only one wish and that is to live on in rest and peace; well he was having a good live actually accept than that he had lost his power and the will to fight and to combat. Exodus 3:12-15 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. (there were His presence is) 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. God had not at all any problem with it that Moses asked after His Name; because he did not really know God as only from the Story’s which his mother had told him from the time he was still in Egypt and from the story’s Jethro told him. So we see that God reveals Himself to Moses through a Sign, a miracle and even through speaking directly audibly to Moses and He states very clearly that He is supporting and backing Moses up in the Assignment God gives him. And Moses was mighty terrified hearing Gods voice; but I believe it would terrify us also when directly in or area starts to burn a bush or a tree and there is neither smoke nor does it consume and than it seems as if the tree or the bush speaks to us. At first we would be curious just like Moses, but than it is becoming personal and intimate: God knows you, and he calls you by your name, suddenly you are addressed; Moses! His reaction is one of submissiveness and surrender; he obeys and pulls of his shoes. 16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt: 17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey 25

Our dismayed Moses receives from God an Assignment and instructions what he has to do and what he has to speak to the leaders of Israel, the gathering of Gods Chosen people! And not only to them but also to Pharaoh and his staff. 18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the ruler of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. 19 And I am sure that the ruler of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. And while Moses starts to walk with God a transformation begins to take place within the heart of Moses, but at first he still has a dismayed, fearful heart. And among all the other words God spoke to him, he thought something like: “When they hear upon you.” And I can imagine myself very well how this keeps on echoing in the ears of Moses, while God is speaking further. “When they hear upon you, hear upon you, hear upon you, hear upon you. 20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. 21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty: 22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourned in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

A SLAVE OF HIS OWN NATURE “They will not here upon me, they will not listen, I am not able to speak very well and who am I actually? And even now God, while you are speaking with me I am not able to speak.” What Moses actually does, is that he starts to complain himself to God; and he states his protest! Exodus 4:1 But Moses protested again said, but, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 10 But Moses pleaded with the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, I can not speak very well, neither heretofore, and I never did, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shall say. Moses his protest and complaint is been waved away through God with a simple: “I have made the mouth and the tongue; I will be with your mouth and tongue.” That must actually have been more than enough reason to jump up full of joy and thankfulness for Gods enablement which He grants us to give where with He decides to enable us with as an expression of Gods will and desire for us. But what we see here is that also a Moses at the start of his ministry is still focused upon the natural and not upon the supernatural. On several ways he is still a slave of his natural censes and he is pronouncing this very clearly. 13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 26

You can send everybody you want Lord, but not me! I want to go back to my peaceful quiet live. I am not able to do that, no God, not me I do not want that. 14 And the anger of the Lord God was kindled against Moses. And He said, Do I not know Aaron the Levite, your brother that he can speak well? And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you. And when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 And you shall speak to him, and you shall put words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do. 16 And it will be that he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be for a mouth to you. And you shall be to him a god. 17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs. We see very clearly here that also Moses was at first still a slave of his own nature, of his own natural talents and with the words he spoke with his mouth he spoke unbelief and still God chooses him to become His servant. And God gets a little bit angry upon Moses and takes his brother Aaron as His mouth, he will speak Gods Word and Will; but first Moses has to put it into his mouth. Moses has to tell him what he has to speak. And so receives Aaron the honor to speak for God because Moses is lacking in faith, trust, courage and bravery and because that he is only focused upon his own natural talents. But we see that Moses grows very quick and rapidly in faith, trust, courage and bravery and in the will to fight and to battle against pharaoh! And the secret of this all is his personal relationship with God. Because of this, he is growing very rapidly in his call and the destiny to be Gods Prophet; and this Marjory because he is surrendering himself COMPLETELY into Gods hands out of trust and LOVE for God. He is giving everything and holds nothing back. He spends as much time with God as he is able to do; and this makes that God is able to change and to transform him. He is receiving the bravery of the heart of God, of the will of God, but also the softness and the meekness of God. The greatest desire and lust of Moses was to will that what God wills and nothing else. He loves God passionately and he believes every Word which He speaks to His Servant Moses. Where in the beginning there was doubt, fear and a disheartened heart, this has taken place for and changed into, heroism, faith, trust and this through his passionate love for his God and he is even prepared to sacrifice himself for Gods people to save and to spare them. He is reflecting the Image and the character of the Son of the Living God. He is becoming a friend of God; and God shares with Moses everything what lives in His heart. Of Moses is been spoken of, that he spoke with God from face to face. What a transformation can we see that there has taken place in the live of Moses! Aaron doesn’t speak anymore for Moses, no Moses has become the perfect mouth of God and he comes into the position which God had intended for him to be in; and God had this Plan for Moses already for the laying of the foundations of the world. Moses becomes Gods direct mouth and voice, somebody who knows Gods will; the desires and the intensions of His heart and who makes these known to the people of God. He becomes the instrument in Gods hands to deliver, to free and to lead Israel to the Promised Land, to the place of their destiny! A short moment will we still stay with Moses because I want to show you something very important and than we go on having a look after Israel, Gods chosen, people, a set apart Nation unto God. We see here very clearly that Moses receives from God an Assignment or with other Words a Mandate and it is God himself who sends him, who backs him up and supports him what brings him in a position of great authority. Exodus 3:10,16 4:12 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel 27

together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt: 17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shall say. Did Moses do that directly? No, he did not do that and this although God has said, go! It did not mean directly. This is something we should never forget! God is standing outside of the realm of time and when God says go; than can this be tomorrow, in ten years or 50 years or really directly and straight on! Moses waited upon the right moment! He waited upon the moment that God would say: Go NOW! And this moment came! 19 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. For more than 20 years ago, I heard how God spoke to me that I have to go to His church to preach that she has to come out of Babylon and that I have to prepare His Bride for His coming. But it is only now, after more than 20 years that this becomes a NOW! The writing of these Books upon His command and Assignment is a start of it! So even when a Prophet comes and says something like: “This day, or this our, or this Moment it can be tomorrow, in 50 years or in 10 years, because he is speaking about GODS MOMENT for your live! To understand the Words of a Prophet for your live rightly you have to understand that he speaks it from out of Gods sight, which is not in the timeline, but out of the timeline! Okay we go now to Israel who is still in slavery and who is not waiting upon someone like Moses, although they need him.

THE DISHEARTENED STATE AND DISCOURAGED HEART OF ISRAEL Exodus 6:9 13:17 So Moses told the people of Israel what the Lord had said, but they wouldn’t listen anymore unto Moses for anguish, of spirit, impatience and their disheartened heart, they had become to discouraged and depressed and their hearts had to much fear by the increasing burden of the cruel bondage of their slavery. Magnified 17,18 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: 18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. God sends us not directly and straightaway in a battle and war; No first we have to go through the Red See which is a pattern of water baptism! He doesn’t want us to have fear for the battle and the War; so that we would have the desire to return back to Egypt land. So looking at the people of God under the guidance of Moses you see very clearly that they are still weak, fearful, and discouraged and they have very clearly still the mentality of a slave, with a chained will and a broken spirit (will).

28

BLIND AND FEARFUL Exodus 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. What was actually more impressive, the Pillar of cloud or the army of Egypt, the cloud full of Fire or pharaoh and his armed forces? Was God not visible with them; was there any reason to be in fear, should they than still need to be in a state of fear, as God had even killed all firstborn in Egypt Land and had spared all their children? Had God not proven that He would fight for them; God who had taken care of it that they were able to spoil Egypt land and who made that they were able to rob and to strip them from all their silver and gold, from all their possessions? Had God not proven with His strong hand that Israel was as His first born son and that He would do everything for His son to deliver him out of the hands of Pharaoh? And still you see that they have a fearful: worried and terrified heart and you see even that they after having been delivered are willing to return back to Egypt, back again under the tyranny of pharaoh! They started to complain and to utter their protest to Moses, speaking unbelief! So logically you could expect that God would be a little bit irritated and why He says something like: “Why are you screaming so loud at me?” 11 And they said unto Moses, because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? 12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? 19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: 20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. 21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses. They believed at the Lord and His power, at His methods of bringing His will to pass and that Moses was Gods chosen Instrument and His Servant to show forth Gods will! But their faith was more grounded in and upon fear as upon the love for God. Their heart still hasn’t changed. Their eyes were still focused upon the circumstances and not upon the miraculous supernatural pillar of fire, the column of a cloud who was guiding them and did not went from their site and this by day and by night. They have seen every day a miracle before their eyes and still they have NOT SEEN IT, they were BLIND for it!

29

TESTED AND FAILED Exodus 15:23-25 16:3 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 16:3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. They are walking through the Sinai desert and while they put one foot in front of the other, God is watching at them very intensively and He listens upon every word they speak! Oh, yes His presence is visible there; the miraculous pillar of a cloud is going in front of them and the same cloud changes in the night into a pillar of fire, giving them light and warmth. And in the daylight in the heat of the sun it functions as a cloud who gives them a protective cooling shadow. God is TESTING and PROVING His chosen people; because God is eager to know what is in their heart, so He is testing Israel! And yes, there comes out of it what is in it! But it is not faith and trust upon this great God and His Servant Moses; no what come’s out of them is the desire and the lust after the meat tables of Egypt. Exodus 16:4-6 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove and test them, whether they will walk in my law (after my instructions), or not. 5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. They are proved and they are been tested if they are able to listen and to obey and if they are able to follow up Gods instructions and to hold on to the given directions of Gods will. 6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: 7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us? 8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD. 9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

DISOBEDIENCE Moses quotes it very clearly and states unmistakably what it really is: they have murmured and have risen their complaining against God, they have complained themselves about God. They have raised their voice against God! And you can look at it from different points of views, but it is one of the many expressions, of stubbornness, protest, resisting and therefore it is nothing else as rebellion. Their stomach is saying something like “hello I am here” and immediately they think back at the times that they were still under slavery; and than they think that they had it better in Egypt land! There they had at least every day bread and meat which they could eat and this as much as they 30

wanted. Here in the desert, they had to suffer hunger, well let’s say they had to suffer appetite! They still had a suppressed, laid in chains, lack of will, bended spirit. Egypt is still within their hearts! Exodus 16:19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. 20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; (they did not listen to Moses) but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them. 21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. 22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remained over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. 25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a Sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. 26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there shall be none. 27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? 29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

ARGUING, CURSING AND BATTLE Well the first thing is that they are disobedient and they have left something over from the manna until the next morning, and to it comes that some are going out upon the fields to seek for manna upon the holy Sabbath day! Although God gave explicit instructions that upon that day they will not find manna, but therefore He gave twice as much upon the 6e day one day before the Sabbath. So test end prove NOT PASSED! Failed! God quotes here clearly that they are not willing to keep unto His instructions. More and more comes out of them what is still alive in their heart. They receive as a gift from God a day of rest and still they want to work and to labour for their bread. It seems that they still are not able to understand that they are free and that from now on they are responsible for themselves. They can not put the blame and responsibility upon Egypt anymore! Exodus 17:1-7 The congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Wherefore the people did scold (they twisted argued and scold) with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, why chide, twist and argue ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? 3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? 4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, what shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me. 5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

31

What a question? Was not the Pillar of a cloud visible over the congregation, which even gave Israel a shadow against the seeding heat of the sun? And what was with the pillar of fire which gave light during the night and warmth? Could it be for them not clear enough to see that God was in their midst or what? No insects in the camp, no snakes and no enemy which had the courage to fight against them! And still they had the nerve to say: “we ask ourselves if God is really in our midst?” Were they totally BLINDED? What made that they did not even see the miracles surrounding them? Could this also happen in our lives?

FIRST UNDESERVED VICTORY We see than that shortly after that, Amalek rises up to battle against Israel! Moses had given Joshua the Assignment to find and seek for brave men, who were prepared to battle against Amalek. And you can be very sure that Joshua had picked some very brave man. Man who were ready and wiling to give their lives for Gods dream. Passionate: fiery, enthusiastic warriors. And it is now the first time that Israel has to battle and to wage a war. But they do not need to battle alone, because God is fighting and waging war with them! As long as Moses is holding his staff upon high, they are in advantage and are they defeating Amalek. And they defeat Amalek so Marjory that he has to retreat because he is heavy diminished and becomes very weak. And although he is not yet completely defeated, it is still a victory! Exodus 17:14,15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. 15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah nissi: (meaning God is my Banner) 16 For he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. Exodus 20:22 God said to Moses, You shall say this to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens. 23 So you shall not make gods of silver along with Me, and you shall not make gods of gold for yourselves. 24 You shall make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall sacrifice your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on it, your sheep and your cattle. In every place in which I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and will bless you.

DESTROY AND KILL ALL WHAT I COMMAND YOU TO KILL Instructions of killing and destroying of: and what God promises when obedient. Exodus 23:20-24 "Behold, I send My Messenger (angel – one who represents my Name) before you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place which I have prepared. 21 Give heed to him and hearken to his voice, do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him. 22 "But if you hearken attentively to his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. 23 "When my angel goes before you, and brings you in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I blot them out, 24 you shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works, but you shall utterly overthrow, conquer and defeat them and break their pillars in pieces and this with no remorse. 32

God is requiring here from Israel that she destroys all the Idols, the demonic temples, the secret temples and this so thoroughly that nothing else remains of it as only dust; and this means that God requires of them an attitude of a spirited warrior, that they fight against the Amorites, the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites with the Spirit of a warrior. They are not allowed to let even one idol remain intact, everything has to be destroyed. And what I mean is that you do not do that with the softness and the meekness of a lam, or with the attitude and the character of a slave; no you do that with the power, with the passion, the spiritedness, the fire and the zeal ot the Spirit of a Warrior. You can not do that with fearfulness, anxiety or with the character of an enslaved spirit! 25 You shall serve the LORD your God, and I will bless your bread and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 None shall miscarrying her young or be barren in your land; I will fulfil the number of your days. 27 I will send my terror before you, and will throw into confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out Hivite, Canaanite, and Hittite from before you. 29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply against you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you are increased and are able to possess the land. 31 And I will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 32 You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in your land in your INHERITANCE, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare and a trap to you." Exodus 24:3-7 And Moses came and told the people all the Words of Jehovah, and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said: All the words which Jehovah has said, we will do. 4 And Moses wrote all the Words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar below the mountain and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the sons of Israel who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of bulls to Jehovah. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read it before the ears of the people. And they said: All that Jehovah has said we will do; and we will be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord God has made with you concerning all these words. (Agreement)

A DEMONIC FEAST OF WHORES They have just made a covenant bondage and an agreement with God; they are married now with God and have sealed this with blood. It is not just like that and it is not for nothing that when a man and a woman come together that there is some bleeding of blood which takes place when he brakes through her maidenhead, her cherry. When this happens actually they have sealed an eternal covenant. Well you should think that the people of Israel were quite serious as they said yes to this Agreement and Covenant! You do not go to another woman just like that when times get rough and it doesn’t work out as that you have willed it. With the words in Exodus 23 they have just a day before given their YES WORD and you should think that they really want to act and to live after it! The next day Moses climbs upon the mountain to receive the rules and the regulations of the Covenant bondage - the Matrimony rules – and in the 40 days that they have to wait upon Moses, their heart go’s more and more astray, they forget their covenant and at the end of the 40 days they behave themselves like a cheap whore and a prostitute who is horny to go astray with other gods. They forget God and make themselves a god. The idea of the golden calve comes up and it is been 33

planned and worked out, it is been formed, modeled and made. They are hundreds of miles away from other idols and gods and even from the Egypt gods, but still it happens that they bow down in front of a “Demon” and worship what they have made with their own hands. The golden calve has always been in Egypt a very loved idol and now they have demonstrated with this how deeply Egypt was still alive and deeply rooted within their hearts and soul. The influence of the Ruler of this world still reaches them and this even beyond the water they have been through and the blood that is upon them. Their heart is still full of unbelief. In the midst of this moment were the people of God have FALLEN and Moses comes down from the mountain he hears the yelling, the screaming, a noise of a feast and of an unrestrained behaviour. Maybe they have not yet gone back to Egypt, but this wasn’t necessary because Egypt still lived among the people of God: They still have not yet laid down the habits and the structures of thinking of Egypt, which evolved in making a stature, to bow down before it, to worship it and to dance around it with great zeal, fire and passion of heart! What is going on here? Well we see and hear a demonic feast of whores and this in the time being that Moses is on the mountain. Yesterday they made a blood covenant with the Lord their God and today they go astray and behave themselves like a Horney whore, who whores straight away from God under His very eyes; to give them selves over and to surrender to the demons of Egypt, to willingly and freely been raped (spiritually). Gods woman (people) is been dishonored, defiled and maltreated trough the demons they surrender to. And anew they willingly let themselves be bound and chained. And again they become slaves of their old nature! They invite demons and because of that they have to experience the judgment of God over their lives. Moses is doing that what God told what they should do in Exodus 23; he destroys and pulverizes the golden calve on such a way that there remains nothing else as gold dust and he kills together with Joshua all those who are not willing to repent of their prostitution and who do not want to turn away from their self chosen way of self deception. A whole generation has to pass over and is needed to get rid of the mentality and the character of a slave out of the people of God. Of the elder generation it is only Joshua and Caleb who will be able to see the Promised Land and who will eat the FRUIT of it. These two didn’t have anymore the character of a slave; they were no slave anymore of their OLD nature! They did not take any notice upon that what they were able to see and to recognize with their natural eyes more as that what God told them how it really is. The Word and will of God had for them more reality and was more truth as that what they were able to see at the time that they went through the Promised Land as spies. The giants had for these men no meaning as only that it was a challenge to be able to see how Gods presence would hunt them away and how God would enable them to eat these Giants like bread. They had a heart which was cleaving to the Lord God and to His Word and will. These men of God had the Spirit of a warrior. They were ready and willing to die to bring Gods dream to reality and they were willing to die for Gods chosen people. They had a heart to obey under all circumstances. They were willing to follow God and to go were ever God wanted them to go. Their eyes were only focused upon His presence. They have had not any doubt to the Words God spoke or which He had spoken.

A WRONG SPIRIT OF BATTLE AND WAR A fearful, anxious character and a dismayed heart are not allowed to enter into the Promised Land. (Kingdom of God) God is simply not allowing this; and He has several reasons for this. One of the reasons is that it will bring your heart to even more disobedience when you have no obedient heart, it will bring you to even more unbelief and mistrust if there is no grounded faith in your heart. 34

Think about these words which Jesus said: “The adversary comes to get some hold at me, but He will find nothing IN ME, where He can have some hold on.” I have said it with my own words, but this is more than true! Only trough faith and the Blood of Jesus, the adversary, or enemy will have nothing on us to get a hold on, to tare us into the deepest and the most darkest sin against God. Another point is that it could happen that you would be able to infect and to contaminate the hearts of the heroes with your fear and your dismayed heart. And thus we learn into the Word of God that the fearfully will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Revelation 21:8 What was it that the other ten spies told about the situation, they have seen and heard, and after that they have come back from passing through the Promised Land? Oh, their words were full of unbelief and fear! The consequences of listening to their words were that they decided the following thing: “We seek ourselves another leader, one who brings us back to Egypt!” I have seen and heard, I have seen and heard, I have also seen and heard, yeah me to, I have seen and heard, and that was what the DEMONS WERE SPEAKING THROUGH the LEADERS of Gods people! And all the Elders were in agreement with this Demonic Idea and wanted to go back to Egypt. And this were the consequences because of that only 10 men, all princes and leaders of their tribes, spoke badly about Gods will and words and made that Gods will looked like a terror into the ears of the people of God. They pictured God as an evil God and gave testimony about Gods will with lying words; their witnessing about the truth was false! These ten LEADERS had a terrible infective decease, one who is most contagious; it was the condition of their heart and soul; which was in a state of unbelief, fear and rebellion. And this infected the rest of the people of God, so that they rebelled and started a riot against the will of God. And rebellion against the will of God is always the sin of witchcraft, of listening and obeying demons! And truly they were under a spell, or with other words they stood under the influence of demonic powers and principalities. Obstinate and self-willed as they were they were willed to travel back into the desert, into the direction of Egypt with a SELF CHOSEN leader. And the only two who testified and gave a statement of God who was TRUE and GOOD were Joshua and Caleb. They gave utterance to their faith which was totally contrary as that of the fearful leaders, which only uttered their FEAR and UNBELIEF. They wanted to start a fight and a war against God! Well, a stronger and more fearful enemy you can not find to fight against in the whole universe. Their disobedience is nothing else as an attitude of enmity against God and His will. A wrong fighting and a combatant spirit is always rebellion and disobedience, because you do want to do and you do that what God doesn’t want and what displeases Him. And when you do that what God doesn’t want than this is ALWAYS rebellion and DISOBEDIENCE. You activate your from God given will wrongly! That is the same as with wrong Passion, lust and zeal and covetousness. And as I already have said these both: 1 wrong will (fighting and a combatant spirit) and 2 wrong passion and lust and desire belong together. Wrong passion, wrong fire, zeal, lust and enthusiasm are ALWAYS an attitude of aggressiveness, fighting, warfare and of struggling. It is an opposing against, and placing yourself in an attitude of enmity against God and His will. It is an attitude of hostility which you express through, rebellion and disobedience. I know it is repetitious, but here comes again:

35

Romans 8:7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God, it never did obey Gods laws (will and regulations), and it never will. For being focused and adjusted upon the things of the flesh, which means fleshly (after the soul) minded and minding the things of the flesh (soul) is the same as an attitude of enmity against God; because the flesh (soul) is not submitting itself to the law (1, 2e, 3e will of God), will and regulations of Gods will, more is that it is not able to do that; therefore those who are live according to the flesh and soul are never able to please God. Strongly, magnified I will always end up in rebellion when I use my fighting spirit wrong or with other words when I use the passion which I have improperly. I activate my will incorrectly and will therefore always end up in rebellion and in wrong passions. I am striving and battling for a wrong case, like an attorney is pleading for the murder not to be guilty! Let us go back to our example of a wrong fighting spirit which we recognized in Israel. After the speech of the 10 spy’s, the ten princes or the elders of the other 10 tribes, Israel started to fight and to battle to be able to return back to Egypt with another leadership as Moses and Joshua. They were waging war against God and the punishment of their rebellion was to walk around in the dessert for 40 years until ALL had died who had rebelled against Gods way and will. But even after that they have received the proclamation of Gods reproof, they wanted to run away for the consequences for their UNCHANGED REBELLED behavior and this is not possible. So the next day again they did not do NOT GODS will; although if you would not know GODS PERFECT WILL concerning this situation, it would look like as of they do Gods will. But Gods presence is not with them and they are been beaten and defeated. Their wrong passion and will was here nothing else as DISOBEDIENCE and REBELLION! Let me give you another example of RELIGIOUS STRIVING! Let us take a look at King David! God spoke to David: You’re son, which is the fruit of your prostitution will be born death. Here is God judging the wrong passions and lusts of David and Bathsheba. And again King David ends up in a wrong passion because he thinks that he can change the consequences of his adulteress behavior. And so he starts to be RELIGIOUS, praying and fasting until that it is sure for him if his son lives or dies. What an enormous abundantly WASTE OF ENERGY! Wrong passions, Enthusiasm, fire, zeal and lust, are ALWAYS a WASTE of our LIVE POWER. And we should better have served God and loved God with all these WASTED ENERGY of LIVE POWER: As the Word of God tells us: Deuteronomy 6:5 and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart 001 lebab, and with all your soul 002 nephesh, and with all your might (live power, energy). RELIGION is an EXPRESSION of SELF SERVING, of doing the SELF-WILLED things and they can look very good! An army who wants to battle the enemy and a man of God fasting and praying, Wow, looks really good! But, no they didn’t serve God they served the SELFISH FLESH, that what they DESIRED FOR and what they willed. David his will was that his unrighteous fruit would stay alive and Israel was disobedient in doing the wrong activities, performances and deeds. THIS IS THE CHARACTER OF RELIGION!

I WILL WHAT I WILL, AND THAT’S IT! I fight and battle for myself! I fight, battle and wage war for that what I will and I do this for my soul live! I fight and battle for my flesh. I want to feel good and I am willing to pay a price for it. What an enormous WASTE of energy and LIVE POWER! “No I do not want that, forget it, I will not do that!” 36

When we strive and when we are resisting against what ever, than this is always a form of fighting and of waging war. When we are resisting and apposing us against Gods will: than know fore sure that this is extremely dangerous. Well this is not ALL negative! No surely not, because this means that there is an enormous potential of will power to battle and to fight, but this will power is been adjusted and activated wrongly. It are always our wrong passions, lusts and desires who paralyze the from God given spirit to fight and to battle or they activate REBELLION, a wrong striving, coveting and desiring for, which both are enmity and hostility against Gods will! In both cases we are willing to die for the wrong focused targets and a wrong goal; and this is EXACTLY what the devil our enemy and his demons are working at: to paralyze you in a non-active attitude of RELIGIOUS striving just heating the benches of the church-buildings or to activate you into ACTIVE rebellion against Gods will. That is exactly what he desires because we have come than in a position where he wanted to have us: we are than like meat to be slaughtered on his slaughter bench. All the power and the energy in this bull is been used and been activated for nothing else as something that brings only death and not live and he dies a horrible death. One thing is for sure we die so or so. You die to death or you die to live. Well than it is better to die in such a way that it brings forth live! Okay now we have come to the place to understand the depth of the following Bible scripture. And I will Magnify and clarify this Bible scripture: Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “if any one of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition 003 apar'neomai, you have to deny yourself, shoulder your cross, and follow me. 25 For if you try to save and to keep sozo your soul 004 psuche, you will make that you lose 005 ap-ollumi it, that it perishes, that it will be destroyed that it will be ruined, that it will be of no use anymore and that you finely will bring it to death. But if you make (bring your soul in the right position) that your live/soul 004 psuche will, 005 ap-ollumi perish, that it will be destroyed, that it will be ruined, and that it finely comes to a death for me, you shall find 006 heurisko and get to know true live. 26 And what would it be of benefit for you to gain the whole world but to lose and to severely damage your own soul? Is anything more worth as your soul or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

37

Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life/SOUL 004 psuche shall lose 005 ap-ollumi it; and whosoever shall lose 005 ap-ollumi his life/SOUL 004 psuche shall preserve it. Luke 9:23-25 And He said to all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny 003 apar'neomai himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 For whoever will save sozo his life 004 psuche shall lose 005 ap-ollumi it, but whoever will lose 005 ap-ollumi his life 004 psuche for My sake, he shall save it. 25 For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world and loses himself, or is cast away? Magnified John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his soul 004 psuche shall lose 005 ap-ollumi it; and he that pursues with hate 007 miseo his soul in this world, shall be able to keep, guard, protect and watch 008 phulasso over it unto eternal live. Magnified Let me give you an example out of my own live: I can remember very well that as a young man I have practiced motocross. And because of that I was a very passionate young man it didn’t take all that long that I started to be entangled into very strange weird thoughts. My passion was motocross and I could not imagine having a more beautiful death as upon my machine in a race. Well, just think at the bull and the red cloth!

This is me in a time of my live, well a very stupid time of my live!

Oh yes, I had a very strong, zealous fighting spirit (will), but it was completely wrong used, activated and brought into action, I made a completely wrong use of the live-power, the energy and the STRONG will God had given me. And this brought me very often into rebellion and into pushing through with my will what I wanted, what I desired for me, and my flesh. When I had a target before my eyes: there was nothing that could stop me anymore as only death. I will what I will and that is what I will! That is Passion Fire and Zeal expressed, used, activated and brought into action through fighting and battling, aggressiveness and waging war against what so ever or for what so ever. Gods target is that our strong will will be delivered and comes into a complete submission, so that Father God is able to use our will, our Fire, our Passion and Zeal for His targets and His plans, for YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND THE WORLD. Think for a short moment back at the live of Moses! Strong will, passionate, but not controlled and it produces death. After his DESERT TIME, his will was broken and brought to a point that he was ready to be USED by God! 38

It are these types of man and woman where God has to tare down a lot of things so that He can use them as an instrument in His hands so that his passion, fire and zeal can be activated, used and brought into action to bring forth live. This type of man can become the greatest Spiritual Warriors for the Kingdom of God. We have come now to the end of this chapter but one little example I want to give you how God brings us from deathly, destructive passions to a man of God full of Fire, Zeal and Passion for the Kingdom of God. Just something for you to think about! A very good example in this is the apostle Paul from tarsus, which with a lot of Passion, Fire Zeal and enthusiasm works and acts with great aggressiveness to uphold and to protect Gods law and the temple of God. But it is a Passion which originates out of his own human soul and therefore it brings him into wrong passions, yes even in murder and slaughter just like the Muslims today! We see that Paul with great passion and fire: hunts, pursues and tracks down the Newborn Christians and kills and destroys them. He thinks and he is completely convinced of it that he is fighting for a just cause for the right target and that he is fulfilling Gods will. Well, this is the Face of the highest form of RELIGION, because religion brings us always to a wrong passion, zeal and into a wrong battle and into uttermost strangest warfare’s. But after an encountering with Jesus it is not only that all what he did suddenly stands in a totally different light, no everything becomes TOTALLY DIFFERENT WHEN WE HAVE A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH GOD.

Chapter 3

THE WARRIOR AND HIS TARGET A Warrior, a combatant regulates, fine-tunes and controls his strong passionate desire and lust, controlled through his will and brings his will controlled into Action. When I am willing that what God wants with a timid spirit, not passionate and not with the desire of a strong will – I am very sorry for you - but I have to say to you that this is in no way the Biblical spirit of a warrior the spirit of a combatant. At the example of Israel we could recognize very clearly how strongly they desired for it to do Gods will? But Jesus is our great example; He had the Spirit of a Warrior! Jesus had been tempted, tested and tried and He defeated and conquered over all the temptations. He battled and wrought until the last breath of His live. In the movie: “The Passion of Jesus Christ” written and directed by Mel Gibson, I have seen how the lover of my heart and soul, has been wounded with the lashes of the most cruelly invented wipes they had in that time; and time on time again He fights and gets up His feet again and again and this without giving any screaming sound, without opening up His mouth, until He has no strength anymore and is laying motionless on the ground. Everything did the Love of my heart and soul give, to free me; He didn’t hold anything back. That is the price which my love one paid for me; He gave ALL, EVERYTHING! This is how my Jesus has fought and battled for me and you! He took His strong will and fought and battled with it until He was not able anymore! What a Warrior characterizes, is the willingness to give ALL, EVERYTHING, for the target which lays in front of him, yes even his live. Nothing is more important as that he achieves his goal and the destination for which he has gone into the battle. And yes there are very surely numerous of good examples of this character to find in the Word of God, the Bible; but our example here is our beloved Jesus who in the garden of Gethsemane, is sweating blood and tears, because He is fighting and wrestling with the fear of death which He sees before His very eyes, pictured through the Spirit of God. He knows the goal, the target and the destination of His battle; He knows which way He has to go. But still, although He knows it, it is still a fight and a battle! And what does Jesus say? Matthew 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, but thy will be done. (a German Translation) My Father when I can not be spared from this suffering I am prepared to do your will – for your will has to be done. This signifies the heart and the character of a warrior. His will is completely and fully submissive and subdued to Gods will and he says just like Jesus: Father I want that what is your will and this not a little bit, no; I desire after your will with passion and with great joy, with enthusiasm and with a complete surrender of heart, life and will. It is my great desire to do and to accomplish your will no matter the prize I have to pay for it.

OCUSED RGET F TTAARGET FOCUSED The heart of a Spiritual warrior is Target focused or with other words, he is focused upon the destination and the targets of the goals of his mission and he will not be able to be stopped through minor things, he will not allow himself to be distracted. He has focused himself upon the goal and 41

the targets and is fully concentrated upon his Mission and he will not allow that something distracts him in achieving his goal. To achieve his goal he will do everything for it to get done the job he is called for. He will crawl through the mud, suffer pain and he will bear mockery, scorn, hunger and thirst and all the other things which are necessary, so that he is able to achieve his Mission. Do not request or ask of him to do things which could distract him of his mission, his goal and his target; this is wasted time and a waste of effort, for you will not be able to do this nor will you succeed in it. He will not let himself be distracted and he will not stop in being focused and aimed upon his target and his mission. 2Corithians 11:23-29 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? That he achieves his from God given goal and the accomplishing of his mission is the highest priority on his list of priorities. All other things and activities are less important and find only their place at the bottom of the list of priorities. Just doing and accomplishing something because it seems to be Biblical? You will not find that in his live. He knows very well how to say NO, to those who want to hire him! He is a warrior of the King and he will only act upon the orders, commands and assignments of the King. You can choose him to be the man for this or that job which has to be done, and even when all of the leadership wants to have him on a certain place; he will NEVER fulfill that place when he has not an okay from his Father God and from King Jesus! He will say NO! What did Jesus say to His mother? “Women, this is nothing of my business, so why should I care – meaning I have no command of my Father to do or to speak such things.” John 2:4-5 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. He knows how to say NO, when it is not in agreement and in line with Gods plan for his live. He will definitely not be like a Martha; no he will be like Mary and sit at the Feet of Jesus to wait upon a Word or a sign! He or she has the desire to hear, to understand and to comprehend what is Gods will and than will this will, be their goal their target and their aim. And than will they speak or do this with a great fantastic passionate zeal, with enthusiasm and with a heart full of joy and surrender. The heart and the character of the warrior to battle with a strong desire to fight and to wage war come also from the knowledge that they know that they are victors. He go’s into the battle with a consciousness (the knowledge and the understanding, faith and TRUST) that he will be victorious! Yes He knows that enough of Gods army of angels is going in front of him, to protect him and to support him in the battle and the warfare so that he or she will carry away a victorious victory. The spiritual Warrior has asked after Gods PERFECT WILL and he or she is therefore waging warfare with a MANDATE; with the authorization, with the commission and the command of the one who has put him or her in charge to gain victory over that where he is COMMANDED to fight against. This makes that the Spiritual warrior trusts and relies - yes he knows to be supported and protected 42

through God the Father and His angels - what makes that he will be able to throw himself into the battle and the warfare with a complete and full surrender of heart, with all his might and all his strength; yes with the passion, the fire and the zeal of his strong will. His will who is in a perfect harmony, in one accord and in full agreement with the will of the one who gave him the Assignment and the MANDATE to come into action! Without command and orders, he will do NOTHING! He will wait! To be able to come to this character of heart, we need to have something of the anointing of the tribe of Judah, the prophetic militant anointing of the Lion of Judah! Who will now be amazed that Caleb was of the tribe of Judah? In the first Book, where we talked about passion, fire and zeal: I was allowed to tell you and to let you know that there is for ALL a prophetic anointing for her or his inheritance! And what is it this special anointing? It is the heart of a spiritual warrior who asks for Gods PERFECT will and PLAN for his INHERITANCE and how to TAKE IT IN, to make it his own. And when he or she starts to move and to come into action, being activated with and through the Holy Spirit, he or she is coming to a place to be able to RECEIVE a prophetic anointing which is laid aside and is been saved and kept in heaven for you; she has been waiting there for you so that you will be able and will be enabled to take in, to grasp and to captivate your personal inheritance. 1Peter 1:3-9 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, He according to His great mercy having regenerated us to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and unfading, having been kept in Heaven for you 5 by the power of God, having been guarded (to be released) through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time; 6 in which you exult; yet a little while, if it need to be, grieving in manifold trials, 7 so that the proving of your faith, (Time of TESTING) much more precious than perishing gold, but having been proved through fire, may be found to praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8 whom having not seen, you love; in whom not yet seeing, but believing, you exult with unspeakable joy and having been glorified, 9 obtaining the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. In the fifth Book, a book written about the Book of Joshua, consisting out of two Parts, we will go much deeper into this! This prophetic anointing is a royal anointing to be able to execute divine authority and to perform strong and mighty deeds in the might and the power of the authority of Gods Kingdom. It is an anointing which you will receive when you start to have the heart and the character of a spiritual warrior who seeks and asks for Gods PERFECT THELEMA will. It is all in Gods throne room, in His presence, waiting upon the time that it can be given to you. But for this you have to mature, you have to be trained; you have to be transformed after the Image and likeness of the character of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God! Jesus knew also that He would come out of His battle and warfare as a Victorious conqueror! Jesus said: “I have received a word – a command – of my Father that I am able to lay down my live freely and to take it up again.” There was not one moment in the heart of Jesus that He had any doubt; He had faith and a full trust that what His Father had told Him was the truth. He knew who He was and He knew that the Father was completely backing Him up and supporting Him to accomplish the will of the Father in this warfare and battle He had to fight. It was His Father who had assured and promised Him full victory. But it was also the Father who had showed Him what fruit this victory would bring. And 43

because of that, arose in the heart of Jesus a passionate will and a desire for the moment of dieing so that He would press on through, to gain full victory. Truly and beyond any reason of doubt, Jesus had FAITH and TRUSTED in that what the Father had spoken to Him and He had no doubt in His heart, thinking that He was not able to gain victory over death. And should He have had it in the Garden of Gethsemane, He gained Victory over it!

GOAL, TARGET AND HUNTING! The first goal and target that I am hunting after is firstly, Jesus Himself! I am grasped by Him, taken by Him and now in all my weakness of heart and soul I am stretching myself out to Him. I hunt after Him; I hunt after it to recognize His will, for myself, for my live, with the strength which He has given me through the inhabitation of the Holy Spirit within me. And I can tell you that I very surely do not feel strong, but I do not live anymore through my feelings or my emotions, but THROUGH MY FAITH and this makes that I receive wings like an eagle and that I am able to RESIDE in His almighty transforming life giving PRESENCE as we have learned in the book, “pressing Into His presence”. Hosea 6:1-6 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten us and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight (His presence). 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on (keep on hunting) to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (Over my heart and soul) 4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (1e, 2e, 3e will – The Kingdom will) Philippians 3:7-14 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung (Skubalon= Puke, barf), that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may capture that for which also I am seized of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have seized it: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before me, (in time and distance) 14 I press toward the mark, the goal and the destiny of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Magnified! Skubalon: Excrement of animals, offscourings, rubbish, dregs - 1a) of things worthless and detestable

And if I am weak or strong and if I feel weak or strong that is not important nor is it determinant and decisive. Determent, crucial, significant, and decisive is the Word that He speaks to me; that what He says and to have FAITH in that Word! And the Word of God says: “Let the weak say, I am strong.” This means that when I have recognized the will of God for my live, for my heart and soul; that I may know that the whole heavenly authority is at my disposal to be able to achieve the mark, the goal and to take in that what God says what we have to take in. 44

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world that the wise might be put to shame, and God chose the weak in the world so that He might put to shame those who are strong in the world. 28 And God chose the low–born of the world, and the despised, and the ones that are not, so that He might bring to nothing the ones that are, 29 so that no flesh might glory in His presence. I know that, no Mather if I am feeling weak or strong, I am a victor through Him who has conquered for me all what I have to conquer! The battle is actually not my battle anymore. It is ALL done (upon the cross) and the only thing I have to do is to take in my inheritance Step by step! On that way it is not me who battles warfare, but MUCH MORE God Himself who through FAITH grants and gives me the victory over my enemy’s and over all what I have to conquer. On this way is my combating actually only a warfare for the FAITH and TRUST of the Word he has spoken to me and to you. And because of that, I am able to have a shout and a cheer on my mouth of victory at the moment that I go into the battle and the warfare to accomplish the will of my God; being very conscious of it that my weapons are 10.000 times more stronger, effective and more powerful as the effectiveness of the whole army of Satan. On this way, is the most weak one (me and you) stronger as the strongest of the whole army of the enemy of God. Who doesn’t like to fight and to battle on this way? Who doesn’t want to go into the battle with passion, fire, zeal and enthusiasm, having the mark and the target before their eyes which God has given you; on this way? But; he, who doesn’t want to fight, going into warfare, has already lost and is already defeated! When you do not want to fight and to battle with God at your site to take in, your inheritance, you will dreadfully come to death! Yes truly, and beyond any shadow of a doubt, having the Spirit of a warrior is to will that what God wills! But not to will it like Laodicea; because that is not a passionate surrender and willing that what God wills; Because this passionate surrender is not inherent within the heart of those who belong to Laodicea. But also I belong to that part of the Body of Christ - although I do not - like Paul says I am a Greek to the Greeks and a heathen to the heathen without being it. The desire and the passionate will of God is that we are HOT for Him, yes even as HOT AS BOILING water! It is a pity that this is not also translated out of the root text, because HOT is the Greek Word Zestos which means boiling, steaming hot. So we have to be steaming boiling hot for God and is this not by coincidence the character and the mark of passion, fire, zeal and enthusiasm? Revelation 3:14-17 And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Head of the creation of God: 15 I know your works, your labor, and efforts, but you are neither cold nor hot 009 zestos. I would that you were cold, or hot 009 zestos. 16 So, because you are lukewarm 010 chliaros, (slow, not useful to be active – taking no decisions - not attentive, passive, - disinterested – lacy – a dreamer, not living in the reality – flaccid, lifeless and rough – emotionless, detached and absence of emotions and careless) and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, I am rich, and I am made rich, and I have need of nothing, and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor without feelings and blind and naked. Magnified 2 Peter 1:3-9 As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness through the full knowledge of the One calling us through glory and virtue, 4 by which means He has given to us the very great and precious promises, so that through these you might be partakers of the divine nature, escaping from the corruption in the world by lust. 5 But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling in your faith with virtue, strength, passion and the will to fight; and virtue with knowledge; 6 and knowledge with self–control; and self–control with endurance; and endurance with godliness; 7 and godliness with brotherly love; and brotherly love with love. 8 For 45

if these things being in you, and are abounding in you, they will make you not idle, nor unfruitful in the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For the one in whom these things are not present is blind, being shortsighted (like Laodicea), taking on forgetfulness of the cleansing of his sins in time past. Revelation 3:18, 19 I advise you to buy from Me gold (purified Word of God) having been fired by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, and your shame and nakedness may not be revealed. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 I, as many "as I love, I rebuke and I chasten." Be zealous, then, and repent. Proverbs. 3:12 20 Behold, I stand outside at the door and knock: If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father in His throne. 22 The one who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Song of Solomon 5:2 I slept, but my heart stayed awake. [I dreamed that I heard the voice of my beloved as He knocked at the door] Hark! My beloved is knocking upon the bedroom door. "Open to me, my darling, my love, my treasure, my lovely dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet and soaked with the heavy night dew, my locks with the drops and the wetness of the night." Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 The one overcoming, 011 ni'kao I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, (execute authority) as I also overcame ni'kao and sat with My Father in His throne. 22 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He, who overcomes, conquers, prevails over, gets the victory over all what try’s to bring him down; isn’t this madness? What a high demand! Who is able to fulfill this demand; to conquer and to be victorious over all that what Jesus conquered? All the enticements, the seducements and all the different temptations and so on! In the creation of our own weak flesh we will never ever be able to be a conqueror over this all; but through the divine power who is at our disposal we are been made more than able to come out of the war and battle as a Victor. It is not or victory, it is His victory over the World and the prince of this world, unto which we are PARTAKERS through Faith in the work that Jesus has accomplished for us upon the cross. 1John 5:4,5 For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory, prevailes and overcomes, conquers over all that what he has to fight against, 011 ni'kao the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith. 5 Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God! More easily, simpler and more effective is not possible. It is our battle and the fight for the faith what will make of us victors because we will be PARTAKERS of the victory of all that what Jesus has conquered and what He has defeated and this ALL through FAITH. On this way we will be able to receive EVERYTHING what Father God has prepared for us IN JESUS CHRIST; we are partakers of EVERYTHING what HE is and what HE has through our Faith of that what He has accomplished upon the cross. And you can see very clearly that FAITH is nothing for the mind, BUT FOR THE HEART! John 16:33 I have spoken these things to you that you may have peace in Me. You will have distress and tribulation in the world; but be encouraged; I have overcome 011 ni'kao the world.

RECOGNIZE WHAT IS THE ARENA

AND THE SCENE OF YOUR BATTLE! We have to go into the battle which is designated for us and which is set before us. We are called and chosen to defeat and to destroy the works of the devil and this starts first of all in our own lives. This is the battle which is designated for us and which is appointed to us. That is the arena and the scene of warfare which is for all exactly the same. And I can tell you this is a true warfare because it is warfare around the rulership and the control over your soul and spirit. And as soon as you go into this warfare and into this battle with faith in a full confidence and with full assurance that you are a partaker of the VICTORY of Jesus than you will be victorious in this battle. Hebrew 12:4 You did not yet resist unto blood, wrestling against sin. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist 12 ant'histemi stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you. God is calling us to arise in a battle and to wage war against Satan and all his army’s. The word “resisting” means: Resist, refuse to accept, oppose, refuse to go along with, stand firm and refuse to give in. This is the moment that you are allowed to be a rebel a revolutionary militant warrior against all what Satan desires from you and what the flesh wills from you. And now you are allowed to be a revolutionary against everything with what he is opposing you and with all the things he tries to deceive you, because he will use and activate all his deftly tricks he has. This is the moment that you are allowed to activate your passionate will, your fire, your zeal and enthusiasm to fight against sin and the whole army of demonic forces who come against you to practice and to execute power and dominion over your live. And you can already now be of great joy for the victory which will be yours, because the weak ones will defeat the strongest powers of Satan, because God is at our site. And He is at our site because He called us for this battle like He did with Gideon! God His enemies have become now also my enemies as you are a Christian now, a disciple and a follower of Jesus His teachings; the instructions and guidelines who lead to the path of live. Yes, you have now the same enemy as God has. Before times you were a Christian, you had and were a 47

friend of this world and the demons controlling you and the world, but now you are one of his most feared enemies; because you are fighting and waging war with God at your site and that is a very bad position for him. Not to say at least a catastrophe for him and his kingdom and for the armies he is opposing against you. You have surrendered yourself to the authority of Gods Kingdom and you are unto it to capture back everything what he has stolen from you in all the years which lay behind you. I do not know how it is with your live, but in my live he has stolen and destroyed quite a lot. But this is over now and the time has come that instead that he binds and ties me, that I will start to hunt him and that I will become one of his most feared enemies. God has told me that he has given me authority to hunt him away from my inheritance and this is what we are doing now TOGETHER! Satan and his demons have no legitimate rights at my live anymore - which I did give him through the wrong decisions in my live (SIN) – for Jesus has died and paid the price to make these rights without any power. They only have the power of rights when we do not run to the throne of Grace! So again down here Hebrews 12 Hebrew 12:1 Therefore then, seeing that we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony of the truth], let us also like them strip off and throw aside every hindrance (let us demolish, destroy, tear down, tear of from us, throw out of our way each unnecessary ballast and weight, each burden and each obstacle) and the sin which reaches us always so easily and surrounds us so quickly, the sin which hasty and fast, masterly, deftly and cleverly deceives us and cleaves to us on a very subtle way making us slow; therefore let us run with patience and a constant perseverance and with an active passionate will in the fight and the battle who lays in front of us. Let us fight the fight which God commanded us and the appointed pursuit, and the battle that is set before us. Magnified out of different translations and the Greek Root text

THE WILL OF SIN AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS ALSO AN ENEMY OF YOU 1Corinthians 9:25 But everyone striving (in a competitive battle) controls himself in all things; Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. 26 So I run accordingly, as not uncertainly; so I fight, as not beating air; 27 but I buffet my body and lead it captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected. James 4:4-6 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship and love for the world is enmity with and against God? Whoever, then, purposes and seeks to be a friend of the world is and has made himself to be an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that vainly the Scripture says, The spirit which has dwelt in us yearns 13 epipo'theo after us with jealousy? 6 But He gives greater grace. Because of this it says, "God sets Himself, wages war, battles and fights against, 14 anti'tassomai, proud ones, but He gives grace to the humble ones." Prov. 3:34 Deuteronomy 7:24 And He shall deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under the heavens. No man shall be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them. Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take and grasp yourselves the whole armor of God, which God is giving you so that you may be able to withstand, to survive and to endure, to hold your stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (in your inheritance).

1Thimothy 1:18 This charge I commit to you, my son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before about you (which were spoken over you), in order that you might war a good warfare by them (the prophecies), 1Corinthians 9:25 All athletes practice strict self-control. They do it to win a price that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal price. 26 So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who missed his punches. 27 I discipline my body (soul and spirit) like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. New Living Translation 2Corinthians 10:3,4 For though we walk in the flesh, yes we are human, still we do not war after the flesh, we do not wage war with human plans and human methods: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) we use Gods mighty wapons not mere wordly weapons, to knock down the devils strongholds. 5 with these weapons we are pulling down imaginations, every proud argument, clever ideas and intensions of the heaert and every high thing, every wall obstacles and barriers that exalts and lifts itself up against the knowledge (1e,2e,3e) of God, with these weapons we bring into captivity every rebellious thought of them teaching them to obey Christ bringing them to the obedience of Christ; Magnified 2Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course (my course), I have kept the faith.

WAGE WARFARE WITH THE RHEMA WORD OF GOD Philippians 1:27 Only let your manner of living be as becometh the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the Gospel, Ephesians 6:10-16 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, in the intimate fellowship and in the power of His extra ordinary might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the 15 methodeia wiles, the tricks, the deceits and the cons of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities 16 ar'che, against powers 17 exou'sia, against the rulers 18 kosmo'krator of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(the demonic spirits in the air) Therefore take and grasp yourselves the whole armor of God, which God is giving you so that you may be able to withstand 12 ant'histemi, to survive and to endure, to hold your stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (in your inheritance). 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girded with the truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of the readiness to bring the Gospel of peace. 16 Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word rhema of God, 1Thimothy 1:18 This charge 19 paragge'lia I commit to you, my son Timothy, according to the prophecies (of the Prophets) which went before about you (which were in earlier times spoken out over you), in order that you might war a good warfare 20 strateia, by them (the prophecies), Timothy had to wage a strategic warfare with the Prophetic words which God the Father had spoken out over his live through the mouth of His Prophets; which carried in itself the command and the mandate or the assignment which God planned to give him and the goal and destiny for the 49

live of young Timothy. And because of that he knew the words which were spoken out over him; he was able to wage a strategic warfare with it. And it was because of that he had received these words from God for him personally, a prophetic word which revealed Gods PERFECT will for his live, that he could wage a warfare with it. We can state without any shadow of doubt, because of that Paul explicitly commands his son Timothy to wage a warfare; that you could not see in the live of young Timothy that these prophecies have already come to pass. This is the reason why Paul urges him to battle and to wage a warfare with these prophecies so that Gods Prophetic, PERFECT will for young Timothy his live, will come to pass and that he will see a fulfillment of Gods PERFECT will in his live. He has not yet received his FULL INHERITANCE, but through waging warfare with the RHEMA WORD of God it would become visible in his live. His Father Paul said to his son: Do not give up Timothy, keep on fighting and battling, wage the Warfare which God has set before you! And exactly the same thing is what all those have to do who have received a rhema word from God; this could have come to you through a personal visitation of God, a dream a vision or through the Prophetic Rhema-word of a Prophet. Let me give you a short testimony how I had to wage a final warfare with some part of the prophetic words which were spoken out over my live and the Rhema´s I did receive throughout my live! It was only for a couple of years ago that the Prophetic Words who seem to be lost and forgotten came back and that it were just these words, which the Spirit of God urged me to prophecy. I had to take them and to prophecy them over my live! And that was in a moment of my live that you could really see NOTHING of the words I prophesied. Because at that time I was in a death doomed condition of heart and soul. But I was obedient and I didn’t look upon the situation of my live; and so through a lot of pain and wailing the Prophetic Words which were spoken out over my live started to come to pass. I WAGED WARFARE WITH GODS WORD YES HIS PERFECT WILL FOR ME.

WE ARE JUST LIKE TIMOTHY COMMANDED TO WAGE A WARFARE You have just like timothy to wage a Spiritual warfare with the diverse Rhema´s from God you have received over the years. A Rhema is all that what you personally have heard from God, this can be revelation knowledge for your live, but also for others. But when God reveals and speaks to you about things for others we speak of prophecies, we speak of Prophetic Rhema. This is why we can move in prophetic prayer, Prophetic Warfare, Singing and Serving and much much more. The revealed things have ALWAYS to do with Gods will, plans and ideas, His goals and the destination of His plans for your live; for your family, for your church, the local gathering of Christians in a city, for your town and a Nation and so God wills even for the World. It is all breathing the Spirit of Prophecy and this because all these forms of revelations are a speaking from God directly to us from and out of the throne of His heart to reveal us His (PERFECT) THELEMA will. It is a speaking from God other as through the Bible or the Word of God and these utterances and revelations will NEVER EVER be contrary to the character and the principles of the Word of God, the Bible; they will ALWAYS be in agreement with the Word of God! And you will find them ONLY IN HIS PRESENCE – IN HIS THRONE-ROOM, the Secret place, the Holy place and the Most Holy place.

Rhema´s and prophecies are thus revelations of things God desires you to know and to have! Which actually means; that God is speaking to us about the things He wants and desires to give us! He is speaking to us about our inheritance, the inheritance we have in Christ Jesus. Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret hidden things (in the heart of the Father) belong unto the LORD our God; but those things which are revealed (out of the heart of the Father) belong unto us (are intended and predestined to be ours) and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this (His will -1e-2e-3e will) law. Magnified Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing; unless He revealeth His secrets (ideas, Plans, dreams, visions of His will) unto His servants the prophets. I think that you can understand now - after that we have taken you through “Speaking what God speaks” in the First Book – why we have to wage a Warfare with the Words God gives us and why not much happens in our lives when we do not do that. God says again: “MY PEOPLE PERISHES BECAUSE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF MY WILL, OF THE PRINCIPLES AND THE DIVINE LAWS OF MY KINGDOM. I will go even one step further! God can and will do nothing without our agreement of that what we have understanding of, of that what is His will for our lives. This is why we HAVE TO SEEK for His will, the Good, pleasant and PERFECT WILL! We will only have as much as that we are willing to seek for and are willing to understand. Romans 12:2 (therefore) be not conformed 042 suschema'tizo, structured after the patterns of behavior of this world 100 aion, to the spirit of time: but be completely new formed and changed in nature and character, be transformed 040 metamor'pho-oo through the renewing 041 ana'kainosis and a complete changing of your senses, (considering the soul), 043 nous of your emotions and opinions and the way you think, so that you may be able to discern and to approve, to comprehend and to understand what is the good 044 agathos, acceptable 045 eu'arestos, and perfect 046 teleios, will 047 Thelema of God. Magnified and free translated out of the root text. - For the Strongs words look into the Strongs manual of Book 1. We shall never ever be able to come into our full inheritance and we will not be capable to grasp and to enter into it, to have it and to make it our own when we are not able to discern, to understand and to comprehend what the WILL of Father God is. John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of My Father, I have made known unto you ( I have revealed them unto you). Jesus has shared all the SECRET things of the Kingdom of His Father, all the principles of the Kingdom of His Father with His disciples! He has revealed them the heart of the Father, His intensions and His plans and will. Psalms 25:14 Friendship with the Lord is reserved (is intended and predestined to be ours for those who fear Him. (Great, great RESPECT, not my will but your will be done – what is your will) With them He shares the Secrets of His covenant (Agreement of promises) Can you see that the revealed things belong to you and that they are an inherit part of the Covenant you made with Him in Jesus Christ His blood? That He wants you to be a PARTAKER OF ALL WHAT HE HAS AND WHAT HE IS? They belong to you, all is from you! But when they are revealed to you does this mean that you have them? No, because you have to grasp them, you have to fight for them; you have to wage warfare for them. It are ONLY the aggressive 51

violently warriors who are able to TAKE IN the Kingdom of God and to make it their own. It is Gods greatest desire of heart that you rise up with the FIRE, PASSION AND DESIRE OF WILL to fight for the things He has revealed to you! And you should know by now how to do this; else you have to take a look back into the First Study book about “Pressing into His presence.” Why should God the Father reveal you certain things when He has not also the desire of heart to grant and to give you these things? But as we already have explained – in the first Study book – God can not give you the revealed things just like that. The first and major reason is that He can not and will not decide for us and that He will not surpass your own will. We have to testify, to come in agreement, to be ONE with His will and to say yes upon His revealed and comprehended will. All Rhema is a kind of Mandate and an authorization, an Assignment for you so that you know, that when you go into the battle to accomplish and to achieve this revelation Rhema, that it is Gods PERFECT WILL for you to achieve to attain and to accomplish this target and goal. But we have to defeat and to tare down some obstacles in our lives which will restrain us if we do not do that; and it will hold us back from achieving and attaining all what Father God has predestinated to give to us! In our first Study book we have tackled the obstacles in our soul, but we have also an enemy who is blocking us and who is fighting for it that you will not achieve what God wills and desires for you! When we had not this our enemy, it would all be much more easier to achieve and to attain Gods will for our lives, to hold on to it and not to let it go, but our enemy is very active looking for it whom he can deceive and he will wage war with every Word of God He has spoken to us. Believe me, when you have truly received a revelation or a word from God, concerning His perfect will for your live or even for that of others, than Satan has only one thing in mind: TO STEAL IT FROM YOU, to seduce you and to mislead you so that you switch, exchange and receive a substitute for it. And it doesn’t matter him wherefore you exchange it, the main thing is that he achieves that you 1 stop thinking at Gods will for you as you have heard it and that you 2stop to be focused upon Gods promises as He has spoken and that you 3stop to have faith upon what Father God desires to give you, that what He desires to do in your live. Because Satan knows that he has to clear the field at the moment that you start to recognize (identify, to be aware of, to become familiar with Gods will for you) and to understand what God desires to do for you and what He desires to give you and when you start to give your agreement upon this. When your will and Gods will are coming in harmony and in agreement – and you cleave to each other with fire passion and zeal - he has nothing to laugh anymore and that is the moment that he actually is already defeated. Maybe not direct visible but it will become visible. These are the moments that the Covenant we have made with God starts to BE MOST EFFECTIVE! These are the moments that He is allowed to war against Satan with us to defeat him, to hunt him and to destroy him and his armies of demons from our grounds, from our inheritances, yes to even hunt him out of our city’s and Nations until he is kicked of from this world. But you can only hunt him within the limitations of the inherited given rights and the authority Father God grants you! And you are been given all authority to hunt him out of your own soul and live and for the Fathers; out of your Family, for they are your inheritance. Hebrew 12:1b let us also like them strip off and throw aside every hindrance (let us demolish, destroy, tear down, tear of from us, throw out of our way each unnecessary ballast and weight, each burden and each obstacle) and the sin which reaches us always so easily and surrounds us so quickly, the sin which hasty and fast, masterly, deftly and cleverly deceives us and cleaves to us on a very subtle way making us slow; therefore let us run with patience and a constant perseverance and with an active passionate will in the fight and the battle who lays in front of us. Let us fight the fight which God commanded us and the appointed pursuit, and the battle that is set before us. Magnified out of different translations and the Greek Root text

It is not a question or a maybe if I have or are allowed to fight or to battle, if I will fight or not. No, because it is so that when I do not go into the battle to warfare against all what I have to fight against that I will die a horrible death. Our enemy is not sitting still and he is cruising through this earth from north to south and from east to west to find those whom he can and may devour. Another thing is: Do you really think that Satan and his armies will clear the field without resistance, without any battle or opposition, without that he snarls to us his teeth? Well this would not be bad, but this is not how it will be! He knows very well what for rights he has and he will always try to intimidate and to paralyze you with trying to come over you with a spirit of fear and to terrorize you on this way so that you will not see and recognize that God has given you authority to hunt and to pursue him, to kick him out of your from God given inheritance. Yes’s to drive the demons out! He is like a thief who tries to hold on to his stolen prey.

BUT

WE SHOUT WITH AUTHORITY: IN THE NAME OF JESUS LET GO AND GIVE BACK WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US AND WHAT HE HAS GRANTED US TO HAVE. LET YOUR FINGERS OF FROM OUR INHERITANCE!

And even if you think that you are not able for warfare and for battle, well just believe me, God has already made you able through Jesus and this because of that we are partakers of the character of Jesus, the Son of God a mighty and strong warrior. Being a partaker of the Spirit of Jesus and His character is being a partaker of the Spirit of a warrior. And yes, you are right we are not able, but we are being made able because through FAITH we are PARTAKERS of everything what Jesus has and what He is. 2 Peter 1:3,4 He has given us His divine power and through this power He has given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, and this through the knowledge of Him – of knowing Him intimately and personally – so has He called us being predestined to be partakers of His glory and His virtue. 4 in this manner are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, so will we escape the corruption that is in the world which is effectively working through lust. Magnified It is the Lion of Judah who has conquered and who has defeated all the arrays of the armies of Satan who came against Him and it was this Character of Jesus who made Him a victor over all temptations and the lust of sin. The two utmost Characters of the Lion and of the lamb are the Characters of Jesus as well as of His Father. As He has conquered over all He GIVES US THE SAME VIRTUE of character and strength through FAITH in Him: through being and becoming a PARTAKER in all what HE HAS and what HE IS! On this way everything is prepared and ALL is set to our disposal, just and only THROUGH FAITH that we are PARTAKERS of His RIGHTEOUSNESS, of His DIVINE NATURE and His DIVINE VIRTUES, yes even of all His divine character quality’s; and one of these Excellency of character quality’s is that of a Warrior, a combatant, a heroic fighter, a samurai with a two edged Sword, who has the heart and the bravery of a lion and a tiger. Believe me that your heart is hidden in His heart. These two hearts have to become as one and are able to become as one only THROUGH FAITH and GRACE! And as we go into the battle and the warfare, never forget and be conscious of it that God is at your site, and that He will grant and desires to give you the victory of that what He has ASSIGNED AND COMMANDED YOU TO FIGHT AGAINST and what is even more, in His heart He has already decided to give you the VICTORY. And although it is an actual and true fact that it is not really your warfare, God still desires of you to go into this warfare and that you start to fight and to battle. Why does He do that? This has to do with the Character and 53

the nature of a Covenant. Victory is already given to you when you do not retreat: when you do not move back, hold the ground, when you do not leave, withdraw and run away from the arena and the scene of your battle; when you do not look to the left or the right site, but continually are focused upon the target of the destiny of your warfare and when you continually keep on cleaving to His heart, gazing into the most beautiful eyes of your heavenly Bridegroom! Because this is where you fight for! You fight for HIM! You fight and are waging Warfare to cleave unto His heart and when you are cleaving unto His heart, He will send and start to use you to wage warfare for the EXPANSION and the Glory of His Kingdom! As we have already said ones: First in your live, than in that of your Family and your gatherings, the city’s and the nations and than the whole wide world.

WAGING WARFARE AND FIGHTING FOLLOWING THE RULES Waging warfare and fighting following the rules? Is it than possible to fight a spiritual warfare against the rules on an unfair way? Yes very surely and most of the time we do this. We can give everything and think than that we have made it; but afterwards when God puts His light upon it we will be able to see that as striving and selfish as we were that we have pushed others in the wayside and that we have pounced knocked and kicked them away from us. These have fallen in the dust of the street and have to crawl up and need some medical care to recover from the wounds and the injury’s we have afflicted unto them. Some will have a great question upon their face now? I will help you to answer your question! I have just received a simple impression which I will share with you! I see at the end of a street, dusty of the sand, a Roman centurion entering in the gates of the city upon his horse. He has fought his battles and is going to meet the Emperor to receive his certificate and badge of honor. He is galloping through the streets and I see how children and woman are falling in the dust of the street and behind him he leaves a trail of injured and hurt people! I think is this clear enough? But we will have a look in the word of God and we will see what the Apostle Peter and the Holy Spirit have to say about this. 2 Peter 1:5-8 And besides this, using all diligence, power, passion and the will to fight; add to your faith virtue, (Excellency of character Galatians 5:22) and to virtue knowledge, (Epignosis) 6 and to knowledge temperance, (the control of will) and to temperance patience, (an enduring patience which does not retreat and a will to be persistent and determined even under hardships, troubles and tribulations) and to patience godliness, 7 and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love for all. (the AGAPE love) 8 For if these things be in you and abound, they will make you that ye shall be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Magnified

Battle and wage a warfare with faith, with knowledge and understanding on a gallant and knightly way of virtue, full off temperance, patiently full of endurance with all the divine fruits; taking heed upon the weakest and all man through the brotherly love, (the philio love) and this all with the love AGAPE of God. Do you allow me to explain it with these simple words? Because I believe that this is it what Peter and the Holy Spirit are teaching us. Is that a fair way of waging warfare? Or is this a fighting and combating without taking heed and without paying attention to my loved ones, or my friends and acquaintances? Of course have I to take more attention upon the commands and the assignments which God has given me, but after that and in line with that I should battle and wage a 54

war on such a way that I do not push aside even one brother or sister. We should always take care of the weakest parts of the body of Christ. 1Timothy 6:12 (My son Timothy) Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 2Timothy 2:1-7 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, commit thou the same to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Endure thou therefore hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man who warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if also a man strive for masteries, he is yet not crowned unless he strives battles and fights after the rules lawfully. 6 The husbandman who laboreth must be the first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Magnified

THE MAJOR RULE:

BATTLE WITH A HEART FULL OF LOVE 1Corinthians 13:1-3 Even if I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love Agape, I have become like sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And even if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I good even remove mountains, but have not love Agape, I am nothing. 3 And if I would give all my goods away, and I deliver and sacrifice my body that it may be burned, but have not love Agape, It will profit me nothing. It is of nu use! Amplified One of the Major rules is that you fight and battle with a heart full of the divine love of God; you could also say with a heart that is always ready to help, brotherly, not ego centered or selfish; one who is prepared to deny himself for the benefit of the other. It can not be the way that in achieving and attaining my goal and destiny, that I kick others to death and leave a trail of hurt and wounded people behind me? At the end of it you will see that it has nothing to do with who comes as first over the line; no much more is the way HOW you come and HOW you achieve your destiny, your goal and target. So actually is not your goal the aim, but THE WAY to your goal should be your aim. Because when you do not take heed HOW you walk the WAY you will not even be able to come to your destiny. Let me explain this some more. Your target, your aim and your destiny is that you will be changed, reformed, restructured and that you go through a process of transformation to become more and more like Jesus in character and likeness; and to bring you in a position that the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are able to do this work at you and in you. For this they choose all different kind of ways and means. But all these different kind of methods and ways are NOT THE DESTINY OF YOUR AIM. The warfare is not a target of your aim, no very surely not, much much more is your goal and target that you know for whom and where for and for what you are waging warfare! When you do not keep that in mind you will not come to your goal and your destiny. You will not be crowned and you will have battled and waged warfare for nothing and all your sacrifices will be of no value anymore. Remember the Centurion! Yes but lord I hunted the enemy and I have greatly defeated them? And than the King has to say: “Yes you did, but not on the way as it was my will,” Yes, but Jesus I have done great miracles and signs and have I not prophesied in your name? And than will the Lord God King and Servant say:

55

“Go away from me, you who are working with and in unrighteous! Did you ask after my will, my perfect will? No, you have not! Did you and were you willing to sacrifice your live, heart and soul like my Son would have done it? No, you were not! Were you ready and prepared to die for the other; for your wife and your children? Were you prepared to let others pas? You have trespassed so many of my rules, how do you dare to say that you know me and that you are a part of me? From there were you are I have no fellowship with you, I never had! You are a worker of unrighteousness Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will 047 'Thelema of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. For Strongs look into the manual of Book 1 Thelema is that what is decided with a will; instructions and clarifications which make clear what God wills, how God wills, when God wills, simply everything what God the Father wills. Well, this all is written down and sealed and is been kept save in heaven waiting upon you to ask for it so that you can start to work together with the will of God to accomplish His will. Only those who have the motivation of heart like: “I WILL WHAT YOU WILL” and those who are diligently seeking after Gods will (Gods Kingdom) relentlessly and persistently will be able to enter that deep into Gods Kingdom that he will be able to receive the Mandate* Father God has prepared for them before the foundations if this world: and he/she will receive this MANDATE/ASSIGNMENT because the Father knows that you will ALWAYS ask for His will and that you will never ever do anything motivated from your own! “Father what are your thoughts about that, what are the intensions of your heart? Father how shall I go on with this? When and how Father? Which words and deeds Father?” The warrior, the combatant and fighter of God, the Servant, the man/woman of God has a heart which is fully and completely surrendered and given away and is very sensitive and attentive to take heed to do NOTHING what is not in HARMONY and IN LINE with the PERFECT will of the Father; he will take heed to do nothing what is not in agreement with the will Thelema of the Father! He will never come with his own ideas and his own motivations and he will never ever start to show of with the given anointing received by GRACE! Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (Believe me they have showed of) The true Servant will give and lay everything what he has and what he is back into Gods hands and he/she will WAIT for instructions and commands! He and she will say just like Jesus: “I can do NOTHING unless I have received the instructions from my Father what to speak and do.” The Kingdom of God and His will are ONE! They are not to separate. The Kingdom of God and his will are intrinsic.

*Mandate From Latin mandatum, from neuter of mandatus, past participle of mandare to entrust, enjoin, probably irregular frommanus hand + -dere to put — 1: an authoritative assignment; from a superior to an inferior one 2: an authorization to act given to a representative 56

Are we co-workers WITH GODS HOLY SPIRIT, or are we co-workers who say something like and pray like: “God please bless what I am doing, bless this project of me! Bless MY IDEA, bless my Plans and the thoughts I have thought out!” Or are we waiting upon it until Father God gives us an Assignment and a commission? Do we wait upon a Mandate or how are we working for God in His Kingdom? Are we working and running without a commission or a mandate; than you have and you are in big problems because this means that you are a worker who works unrighteous! And than will the Lord God King and Servant say: “Go away from me, you who are working with and in unrighteous ways! Did you ask after my will, my perfect will? You have trespassed so many of my rules, how do you dare to say that you know me and that you are a part of me? From there where you are I have NEVER had an INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with you! And therefore I have not commissioned you, nor have I given you the command to act, to prophesy or to work for me and with me; you are a worker of unrighteousness.” Jesus says: I am the truth, the Way and Live, the way is to become like Jesus, to battle and to fight like Jesus, to hold on through like Jesus, to love, to suffer and to have a self sacrificial heart like that of Jesus. Jesus attained his goal and has battled his battle; but He has not battled for himself, He has given all for the other. He has not died for himself and He has also not sacrificed himself for himself. Nobody can die for himself. But when we do die in our battles and in our combats, than it is for those we love, our brothers and sisters, your wife and children and those who are in jeopardy to be killed through the rulers of this world. Yes to be killed in our soul, in our heart and our body.

JESUS ALSO HAD TO WARFARE AND TO FIGHT FOLLOWING THE RULES Jesus knew His goal the target and the destiny of His live and He knew that He had to follow the rules. “Willing as the Father wills,” but never ever would He trespass this rule, for He loved His Father much too much! Jesus obeyed every rule of the Father out of a lovely Father Son relationship. He knew that the Father loved Him perfectly and was completely save and hidden in this love and was therefore prepared and ready to do everything the Father had a desire for to bring to realization. O yes, sure Satan tested and tried Jesus to try to deceive Him to achieve and to attain his goal and His destiny on a much more easy way. And so Jesus was offered a way so that He could get around and bypass the way of suffering and dying to come to His rulership over the world and humanity. But the way of suffering and the process of dying was one of the Major rules from the Father. And just like Jesus we will only come to rulership through the way of suffering. Those who are ready and prepared to be a PARTAKER with the sufferings of Jesus, will also rule with Him. We will not come to rulership without having been through the garden of Gethsemane = "an oil press" and to have been a partaker in His sufferings also. Yes, Jesus had all the divine power and might to bypass the way of suffering and affliction, but than He would not have been an example anymore and we were not able to be a partaker of the way who leads to victory! Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him up unto an exceeding high mountain, and he showed him all the kingdoms/nations of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And he saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if you Jesus will fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, go away from me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to him. 57

How often have we been seduced and tempted not to go Gods way, but the way of the flesh, the way of the least resistance; the way of no battle and no fight? Or that we did it on the way as we thought that it was okay? How often do we produce an Ishmael fruit; a way of living which we have chosen for ourselves things which we produce and have their origin out of our flesh, the not purified and cleansed soul? A ministry which we brought to live ourselves and which we started prematurely which made us bypass the way of suffering and affliction? We can not bypass Gethsemane (the OIL PRESS) and Golgotha (death and resurrection), not that of Jesus and not that of ourselves. We have to die and to suffer to be able to come to a rulership over our soul spirit and body. When it is as God learns us, that we are PARTAKERS of ALL what Jesus is, than we shall also in a certain amount of measurement be a partaker of His sufferings. Also for us is there a dark night which leads us to a form of dying, but just as with Jesus we shall experience the power of His resurrection live in our live, in our heart and in our soul. 1Peter 4:1,2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind to be prepared and ready to suffer: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning (the power of sin loses his grip, might and influence – and you stop missing your goal); 2 That you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh after the lusts and the passions of men, but that you live to the will of God. Magnified 1Peter 4:12 Beloved, think not that it is a strange thing, concerning the fiery trial which is to try and to test and to proof you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, for so you become partakers inasmuch you suffer with Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Fore also Jesus Christ has died for us, in the time being as we were still enemies from God. This is how Father God has showed us to be prepared to die even for our enemies. Do you know somebody who is behaving himself to you like an enemy? Pray for him, bless Him! Jesus says: “Love your enemies.”

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE THE FIRST ONE WHO CROSSES THE LINE I know that the Word of God gives us an excellent example of an athlete, a competitor who has to run on such a way that he is the first one who finishes and crosses the line; but this parable is used to clarify how much is demanded from us, how great the effort and will-power has to be to achieve eternal live. Paul is not saying just for fun, that an athlete abstains from all different kinds of lust for the flesh to chasten his body, to bring it under his control, the control of his willpower. No, it is not that we come as first one over the line, or that we have as first one a great Ministry, no it has all to do with it that we conquer together! The relay race is one of the most excellent examples how we win as a team, fighting together to achieve and to attain the victory. 58

From each one is demanded his full surrender and the passion and zeal of his willpower and each one has to walk his distance, with the given strength, abilities and willpower he/she has. And at the end we will only be victorious when ALL have brought and showed their commitment. Spiritually seen; 1 we have the 100 meter course and 2 the relay race; we have all 1 a personal inheritance to achieve and we have 2 an inheritance for all together an inheritance which we can only achieve and attain all together. Think about this and ask if the Spirit of God is willing to reveal you even more. For I will not go any deeper into this now! We will cover this aspect in the later volumes about the Book of Joshua and the Lion of Judah. It as it is, ALL is predestinated to be from you, and all is there for you! 1Corinthians 3:21-23 4:1 For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. 1 therefore see us as as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

59

A Wo r d o f t h e Fa t h e r a n d t h e S o n The Father says: When you are willing as I will And when you in you’re weakness of the flesh and spirit seek earnestly and relentlessly after my will; Than surely I will come to strengthen you And to give you from my power and strength, So that you like upon wings of an eagle can come to me. And I will show you around in My Kingdom and that what is mines will be yours: Yes, my will is that you inherit everything what is from me: My strength and Power, my glory, my nature, My personality: My Kingdom. For this reason my Son did give his live, So that you can be with Me and that you shall be with Me. Jesus says For my will is that you are also there where I am; in the Throne of my Father. So do not stop with touching our hearts. I will come with everything for all. And lay down everything before me, so that I can touch it. For my will is, to make everything new: Your thoughts, your speaking, your faith, your families, and your love, just everything. When you do not pull yourself back, than I will also not pull myself back for I love you with my Eternal love.

Apostle Prophet Minstrel -Johannes John 60

Chapter 4

YOUR FIRST COMMAND ASSIGNMENT AND MANDATE 1Corinthians 3:22-23 4:1 for all things are yours; 22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours, everything is yours and predesignated to be yours; 23 and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. 1 therefore see us as as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God .Magnified Everything is yours and predestinated to be yours; and you will start to receive it at the moment that you are prepared and ready to fight and to battle for it together with the Holy Spirit. You will start to come into it when your joy is with and into the Lord your God and this with passion, for the joy into the Lord your God is your strength energy and power. That is your power that enables you to conquer and this even in the weakness of your flesh. It is the power of God where with you will be victorious. When God the Father and Jesus gives you an assignment a mandate and a command than will He enable you also and will He prepare, train, equip and endow you with power and authority to be able to fulfill His will, the command and the assignment and the mandate He gave you. Just think at Moses, God prepared him, trained him and equipped him for the Mandate God gave him and God used TIME as one of the most IMPORTANT ingredients; 80 years of schooling some TRIBULATIONS and a DESERT TIME experience is what God used to school and to train him before he was ready to begin to come into the Mandate he had received from Father God. God the Father gives us not an assignment without preparing us for it, without training and schooling us for it. But this schooling and training time is something which God the Father does on a way we can not even imagine; because He is schooling and training us through live and it is totally different as that we have any idea of. But to talk about this would be another theme and I am not allowed to do this here. 1Corinthians 9:25 All athletes practice strict self-control. They do it to win a price that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal price. 26 So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who misses his punches, not being insecure, going into the direction of an uncertain aim and target 27 but I discipline my body (soul and spirit) like an athlete, training it to do what it should do. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I might found myself to be disqualified. New Living Translation - Magnified

THE WARRIOR HIS FIRST COMMAND The first command – which is for ALL – which God commands us is that we start to take rulership again over our body, soul and spirit; that we captivate this area of our inheritance and this means that we start to kick out the intruders, the foxes in our heart and soul. This command is a kind of Assignment and a mandate which is for every Christian exactly the same. The only thing we have to do is to receive, to accept and to understand this assignment so that we are able to start to wage the warfare against the sin which surrounds us so easily and which tries to make us slow and inactive which results than in it that we finely die a horrible death; which makes that we will not be 61

able to succeed the Mandate and the Assignments which follows after this first fundamental assignment. And it doesn’t matter what kind of greater assignment or mandate God the Father has in mind and planned for you and where you are called for; Shepherd, teacher, prophet, apostle or evangelist, you have to learn to achieve and to attain this first goal and to be victorious over this first command, this assignment and mandate which is given to you at the start of your Christian live. Colossians 1:10-11 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 that you might be strengthened with all his might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; to be able to bear all things with joy to hold through and to endure all things with patience. Magnified Philippians 4:12,13 But I know to be humbled, and I know to abound; in everything, and in all things, I am accustomed to both: to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to have prosperity, and to have lack, to be in need of. 13 I am able to go through all these things through Christ, for He is the One who makes me strong and who empowers me for this. Magnified Ephesians 1:18,19 the eyes of your heart and mind having been enlightened, for you to know what is the hope of His calling, and what is the riches of the glory of His inheritance given to the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us, the ones who believe according to the working power of His might and strength 023 dunamai. 2 Timothy 2:3 There fore endure hardness, affliction and trouble, (be a partaker of the sufferings of Christ) as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Magnified 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

INSTRUCTIONS AND COMMANDS CONCERNING YOU’RE FIRST AND MAJOR MANDATE 1 KILL

THE EFFECTIVE DESTRUCTIVE WORKING WILL OF THE FLESCH

Colossians 3:5 Mortify, kill destroy, put to death therefore your body members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, passion, evil lustfulness, and covetousness, being greedy, which is idolatry. Romans 6:12-19 so let the sin not rule in your mortal body, to obey it in its lusts. (The wrong passions and zeal’s) (But kill) Romans 8:13, 14 for if you live according to the flesh, if you adjust your live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit, by the help of the Spirit of God mortify, kill and destroy the deeds of the body, (the effective destructive deceiving working will of the flesh) you shall live (and have live abundantly). 14 For as many which are led by the Spirit of God, as many as let take themselves by the hand to be schown the way, 021ago, they are the sons/daughters of God. Magnified Galatians 5:24 And they that are of Jesus Christ crucify (kill destroy) the flesh with all the wrong affections passions and lusts. (They are in a process of perishing and of dieing) . Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and therefore to die is gain. 62

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in and after the Spirit, (Let it be an inclination and a habit to react upon his Instructions, to be led, to be taken by the hand and to be controlled through the Spirit of God) and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (You shall not even react upon the passions, lusts, desires and the habits of the flesh and give in to it) Magnified

2 RULE

AND MASTER YOUR BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT, YOUR TEMPEL

1Corinthians 9:25 All athletes practice strict self-control. They do it to win a price that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal price. 26 So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who missed his punches. 27 I discipline my body (soul and spirit) which I master (together with the Spirit of God) like an athlete, training it to do what it should. I tread it like a slave, I rule and master over my temple and it has to do what I will (Gods will). Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. New Living Translation - Magnified 1Peter 4:1,2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind to be prepared and ready to suffer: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning (the power of sin loses his grip, might and influence – and you stop missing your goal); 2 That you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh after the lusts and the passions of men, but that you live to the will of God. Magnified Romans 6:12-19 12 So let the sin not rule in your mortal body, to obey it in its lusts. (The wrong passions and zeal’s) 13 Neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness 017 adi'kia. to sin, but present yourselves to God as one living from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to serve God. 14 For your sin shall (and can) not rule over you anymore, she has losen her power of effectiveness over you she will not be able to rule over you anymore for you are not under the law anymore, but under the grace. Magnified Genesis 4:6,7 And the LORD spoke and asked Cain, Why have you a glow of anger? And why do you have such a long face, are so depressed and why is your head down? 7 Is it not so that if you do well, (and your soul is good) and when you act right, that you can lift up your head and that your sacrifice surely will be accepted? And if you do not do well and your soul is not good that sin is laying at the door of your heart, that he is after you and that he desires to execute rulership over you? So should it not be! Rule over it, conqueror over it. You are able to rule and master it and you have to conquer it. Magnified and free translated

HELP AND SUPPORT IN THE RESISTANCE, THE CONFRONTATION AND THE COMBAT OF WAR When the will of sin would not oppose us nor give us any resistance than we didn’t need to talk about a battle and a fight against the flesh and than you didn’t need to fight to gain the control back over your temple to master it. But the will of sin tries to execute her power and rulership over our lives and this because our spirit was death at the time of our birth; which is the inherited curse over whole humanity, because of Adam his disobedience. The senses of your body are and have been firstly under a different control and rulership as your spirit. It is the rulership of your own soul, the rulership of me; and this without Gods help und without Gods will. And this will make us very quickly a slave of our sinful will, of the passions and lusts controlled by this will, which are very often under the control and rulership of demonic powers and the forces of darkness in the air. Was the strength of our strong will not something like a combating spirit? What is than daily waging warfare against Gods will? Is it not the sinful flesh, which is not able to subdue itself and which has not the will to be submissive to Gods will, what is more; it is not even able to do that. 63

But in this warfare, which the Father has commanded you to go in, in this warfare against the sinful will; He desires and longs for it to help you and to support you. This is why He has sent you the Holy Spirit, to support us, to strengthen us to be a help to be able to gain a COMPLETE AND FULL victory together with Him over the works of the flesh, our sinful will. To be able to gain full victory over this is it VITAL to be a co-worker with the Holy Spirit. We have to give Him all the rights over our lives, over our soul and all what we are and for this we have to give our YES; that we give Him the right to destroy and to kill everything what is not after Gods will. Again I repeat: Romans 8:13,14 For if you live according to the flesh, if you adjust your live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit, by the help of the Spirit of God mortify, kill and destroy the deeds of the body, (the effective destructive deceiving working will of the flesh) you shall live (and have live abundently). 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, as many as let take themselves by the hand to be schown the way, 021ago they are the true sons/daughters of God.

Luke 24:49 And behold, I (Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God) I send Apostello the promise of My father on you, at your site and in you. But you sit, do not move (WAIT) and stay in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed endued with power, with strength and the abilities which come from on high. Magnified Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit (the Holy Spirit) upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, (Speak my will) your old men shall dream dreams, (My send dreams, my ideas and plans) your young men shall see visions: Magnified John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, another Teacher, trainer and educator, that he may abide with you for ever; Magnified John 14:26 But the Comforter, the Helper, the Teacher and Trainer and Educator, O21 parakletos which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach, Train and Educate you all things, He will train and educate you, He will give you instructions and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Magnified John 16:12 I still have many things to say unto you, but at the moment ye are not able to bear them now. 13 but when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, than He will help you to embrace, to grasp, to understand and to comprehend the truth, he will guide you into the full truth: for he shall not speak on His own demand, or in His own authority; but He shall speak to you what He has heard, that shall he speak: and he will reveal to you hidden things, (through dreams and visions and other means) and He shall also reveal and proclaim, make known, things which are hidden in the future, in the times to come. Freely magnified Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Romans 8:26-30 And likewise the Spirit also joins us and helps us out in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought to pray (after Gods will); but the Spirit Himself pleads our case for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. 27 But the One searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He intercedes for the saints according to God (what God wills). 28 But we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose; 29 because whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be the First–born among many brothers. 30 But 64

whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; but whom He justified, these He also glorified. But if we do not understand Gods will, we will not be able to give our yes and the Holy Spirit is not allowed to do His work without our Agreement! It is step for step that you come to the full truth through the instructions and the teachings of the Holy Spirit. For it is His Assignment to bring and to reveal you ALL what the Father has planned for you. But first you have to go through a cleaning and purifying process of Killing and destroying the foxes together with the Holy Spirit. This is your first Assignment and the Spirit of God is the helper in this process.

SELF CONTROL 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, cowardice and timidity, but of power 024 dunamis, love and self-discipline, moderate, sober, restrained. (Restricting one's desires and a discipline over the impulses of the senses of our body and of our sexuality) 025 sophronismos deducted from 026 sophronizo If you think that I am overestimating this form of discipline, than watch carefully at the Character of Jesus and do not forget that we should be partakers of all what He is. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance, a masterly and extraordinary control over all the senses of our body. 027 egkrateia Magnified This masterly self-control, a control over soul, spirit and body, through discipline and the control over the senses from the body and the impulses of our sexuality is a fruit of the Spirit of God, a likeness of the Character of Jesus, wrought, shaped, formed and produced through the Holy Spirit in our lives; formed and shaped in the hands of the pottery, in the most secret place, the potters table. Without being a partaker of this Character of Jesus, without the fruits of the Spirit, the fruit of Jesus the Son of God in your live, in your heart and in your soul, will you never be able to come to such a masterly self-control over your soul, spirit and body as Paul describes it so perfectly in his writings. 1Corinthians 9:26,27 So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who misses his punches, not being insecure, going into the direction of an uncertain aim and target (I act upon revelation and instructions); but it is my body (soul and spirit) which I master (together with the Spirit of God) 27 I discipline my body (soul and spirit) like an athlete, training it to do what it should. I tread it like a slave, I rule and master over my temple and it has to do Gods will and that is what I will. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. New Living Translation – freely Magnified Ephesians 3:14-18 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you (GIVING GRACE AND MERCY), according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened, (manly brave) to grow and to increase in strength with might, power and enablement’s by his Spirit in the inner man of your SOUL; 17 that Christ may dwell and always be present in your hearts (spirit and soul) by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love AGAPE, 18 May be able to comprehend, to understand and to grasp with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (of the Love of Christ) 19 And to know the love of Christ, which is far more higher as all knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness (ALL) of God. (Father Son and Holy Spirit) 65

2Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not, we will not become spiritless; but though our outward man perishes (our body), yet the inward man (soul and spirit) is been renewed day by day, is been changed and is in a process of becoming completely renewed 028 anakainoo. Magnified This is actually nothing else as metamorphose! A process of dieing and being renewed from day to day! We kill, destroy and tare down the old structures of our soul and a new structure, a new inner man is rising up within us through the transforming creative power of Father God working effectively in our lives through FAITH and GRACE and this in His transforming presence. On this way will we become stronger and stronger through the work of the Spirit off God over us and in us!

WORLD CONQUERING FAITH Yes to become strong through the Holy Spirit, for to be able together with my spirit (will) and soul to accomplish Gods will, the good, pleasant and the PERFECT will. And this means also to go into the battle against every form of sin and unrighteousness which I am able to see, to discern and to recognize in my live, in my inner man, my heart and soul. It is not that I am just allowed to battle against it; no I even receive divine help and support through the Holy Spirit so that in any way I will be a conqueror and so that I will come out of this warfare as a victor, a champion and a winner. And this kind of battle is not heavy, for the only thing what we need for this to be a victor is the “world conquering faith and the Word of our TESTIMONY.” 1John 5:4 For whosoever is born of God overcomes, conquers, and has NOW the victory 029 ni'kao, over the world (the structures, the influence and their deceiving powers and so on): and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. 5 So who is it that overcomes 029 ni'kao the world, is it not he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (He that believes that Jesus is the Son of God has received everything within his inheritance to overcome the world, because he is a partaker of the FAITH of Jesus.) Magnified John 16:33 I have spoken these things to you that you may have peace in Me (through the intimate relationship you have in Me). You have distress, suffering, pain, sorrow in the world; but be encouraged, I have overcome (for you) the world. (So that you can be a partaker of this victory over the world through faith) Magnified It is the warfare and the battle for FAITH, which makes victors and conquerors of us and which enables us to be a PARTAKER of the Victory of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. It is not a battle and a warfare which we are able to conquer with our own natural talents, and ability’s, with our own means and our own possibilities and potentials. Maybe you do not agree with me and you think that you can. Well let me tell you this; maybe you will succeed in it for many years to make a good impression and on such a way that even many will think that you are such a good example. And it seems to be as if there is no cloud at the sky; but when the pressure in your live is becoming more and more, than will finely come out, out of you – your inner man – what is still very deep within you. This is one of the reasons why we can only enter into the Kingdom of God through suffering, affliction, pain and sorrow. The Word of God quotes very clearly that we have to be tested, that we have to be refined, and that we have to be purified and to be cleansed in the furnace of affliction and suffering. Malachi 3:1-3 "Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in. Behold, He shall come," saith the LORD of hosts. 2 "But who may abide the 66

day of His coming? And who shall be able to stand when He appeareth? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. 3 And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and He shall purify the sons of Levi, (those who cleave to His heart) and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Jeremiah 9:7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: "Behold, I will melt them and try them; for how else shall I do because of the evilness of the daughter of My people? Magnified Isaiah 1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee (to be tested) in the furnace of affliction. 1Peter 4:12 Beloved, think not that it is a strange thing, concerning the fiery trial which is to try and to test and to proof you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, for so you become partakers inasmuch you suffer with Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1Peter 1:6,7 Wherein ye exult, although, for a little while you go now, if necessary , through tests and trails and through grief in manifold temptations, 7 And when your faith has stand the tests, been purified through the fire as gold, than this will have a much higher value as that of the perishable gold; and let this faith may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revealing of Jesus Christ, – 8 Whom you have not seen, you love, and who you at the present time can not see, but believing in Him, you exult now with joy unspeakable and are been filled with glory, 9 Receiving the end of your faith –which is the salvation 048 sote'ria,, deliverance of your soul 049 psu'che. Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will hear them. I will say, `It is My people'; and they shall say, `The LORD is my God.'" Psalm 66:10 For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast tried us as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water, but Thou broughtest us out into a fruitful place. Proverbs 17:3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD trieth the hearts. We will end this chapter with three Bible scriptures! Hebrew 12:1 Therefore then, seeing that we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the truth], let us also like them strip off and throw aside every hindrance (let us demolish, destroy, tear down, tear of from us, throw out of our way each unnecessary ballast and weight, each burden and each obstacle) and the sin which reaches us always so easily and surrounds us so quickly, the sin which hasty and fast, masterly, deftly and cleverly deceives us and cleaves to us on a very subtle way making us slow; therefore let us run with patience and a constant perseverance and with an active passionate will in the fight and the battle who lays in front of us. Let us fight the fight which God commanded us and the appointed pursuit, and the battle that is set before us.

67

1Peter 4:1,2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind to be prepared and ready to suffer: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning (the power of sin loses his grip, might and influence – and you stop missing your goal); 2 That you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh after the lusts and the passions of men, but that you live to the will of God. Magnified 1John 2:15,16 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abided for ever.

Chapter 5

THE ATTITUDES WITH WHICH WE HAVE TO WAGE WARFARE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

AN ATTITUDE OF FIGHTING WITH FAITH! OF CERTAINTY, CONFIDENCE AND A CONVICTION TO BE A VICTOR. WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR WEAPONRY. WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MY ENEMY. FIGHT WITH BOLDNESS, BRAVE AND WITHOUT FEAR. BATTLE AND WAGE WARFARE WITH JOY. WAGE WARFARE ONLY WITH AN ASSIGNMENT OR A COMMAND. BATTLE AND FIGHT AWAKE, ALERT, ATTENTIVE, WATCHFUL.

1 - AN ATTITUDE OF FIGHTING WITH FAITH! Hebrew 11:32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah; also David, and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the strangers. We will not go very deep in the examples we find in the Word of God of man and woman who fought with this attitude of faith. Because in the Next Study Book we will have a look into the live of Joshua and this will cover this topic. In this chapter I will bring in a lot of Bible scriptures which you can study and read. We have eight short Topics concerning how to warfare the battle God has commanded and assigned to us and I will enlighten every one with some Bible scriptures. Some are repetitious, some are new. Romans 4:20,21 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully persuaded that what He had promised, He was able also to perform. 22 And therefore "it was imputed to him for righteousness." 1Corinther 16:13 Watch ye; stand fast in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong. Faith is an inward spiritual attitude, an attitude of aggressiveness, of fierceness, of boldness and of violence; an attitude of Passion fire and zeal for that where you have faith for. Like Abraham who fought, wrestled and battled with the words he had received from Father God. Faith without war and a battle without fighting is not possible. One of the reasons for this is that there is an adversary who will do everything what is in his might that we lose FAITH in the word God has given us, in the promise we have received from God. If we have truly received a Word from God: than you can bet your live for it that he will wage war against this word from God. Firstly so that we lose faith for the word we did receive and secondly that we lose that word which we have received from God or that we even exchange it for whatever! So we do not have faith without warfare. 69

However, the biggest warfare is already won, the warfare for our faith is won and battled and this within Jesus himself upon the cross; because He died for the faith. Okay, let me explain you this! Jesus did believe what the Father promised Him through a word He gave His Son: “I have given you power and might to lay down your live freely and to take it up again.” This was a promise and a Word of the Father to Jesus. And Jesus had to believe that, He had to walk in the Path and the way of Faith just like we have to walk in faith. Jesus Christ as the Son of the Living God has died in faith for the faith. This is why we are able to have faith, because Jesus has battled for us for the faith. So our faith is actually not even our faith, it is His faith; and He gives us this faith. We are and we have become PARTAKERS unto HIS FAITH (Gods faith) through the sacrifice He has accomplished for us; from faith to faith. This is how Father God has prepared everything: He has done everything what is necessary so that we are able to come out of the slavery from demonic powers and out of the destructive working effectiveness of sin. But this is not the only thing what God wants to do and what He has done for us; no there is much, much more! Because it is for a reason that He sets us free from the bondage of sin and the oppression of demonic powers: and this is not just that we are set free from sin and that’s it. No, it is Gods strong and earnest desire that we come AGAIN, to a glorious rulership, being the CROWN of His creation and this means “WAR”. So do not forget that as soon as that we have chosen for Jesus that this is the actual moment that warfare and battle arises around the Arena of your soul, of your live and of your family. And it will not become easier as the time before that you were a Christian, but things will become totally different. You will go through the same situations, but differently! And after a certain time and a season of live, yes things can become lighter, but the warfare stays. The difference is that you overcome situations and that they start too lose grip upon you. You are not controlled anymore through the situations of live and you start to rise above them like a surfer who rides on a wave.

2 - CERTAINTY, CONFIDENCE AND THE CONVICTION OF BEING A VICTOR This is how you have to activate your Faith and trust in the Word God has given you and in that what you did understand of the will of God for your live, for your heart and soul. An attitude of heart and will; will become after a certain time a structure in your live and than it will become a character of you. You have to go into the battle and the warfare - your violent aggressive faith – with an attitude of heart that you can not lose and that you actually have already won. And the better you understand and comprehend why this warfare is there, the better you will understand why we have to battle and to combat with fire zeal and passion. And when we fight the fight which is commanded to us understanding and comprehending it the better we will be able to fight with fire, passion zeal and enthusiasm. First of all you have to understand that this actually is NOT YOUR WARFARE, it is first of all Gods battle and warfare. Why is this so? This is so because Satan is His 70

ETERNAL enemy which has to be kicked of from this planet earth. God has created Humanity to replenish the earth so that Satan would have no place anymore on this earth. Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. So in this time of warfare has it all to do with you, your soul and the rulership over your soul. This is why God declared in the book of Genesis an ETERNAL war between God and Satan and this because he LOVES His creation and because He fights for that what HE LOVES! He has so much in His heart that He desires to give you! Above everything else is it the desire of the heart from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit that you will receive everything what He in His great LOVE has planned for you in your live; all that what He in HIS GREAT LOVE already has given you and one of these things is a position far ABOVE and OVER every demonic power and might upon this earth and over these in the heavenly realms. The DESIRE of His heart is that you RECEIVE your right of inheritance and this means that Satan has no right anymore to abode and to remain upon this earth. This is why God has prepared specially for him a nice tropical place where he will remain for all eternity. Matthew 25:41 Then He will also say to those on His left, Go away from Me, cursed ones, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the Devil and his angels. As you see is the place of the everlasting fire prepared not for humanity, it is made for the Devil and his angels, his demons: but as you see will those who didn’t want to hear also find a place in this eternal fire. But this is not our destiny but the destiny of the Devil and his angels and he knows it. Revelation 12:7 And war occurred in Heaven, Michael and his angels making war against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels made war, 8 but they did not have strength, nor yet was place found for them in Heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called Devil, and, Satan; he deceiving the whole habitable world was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. I can tell you one thing for sure: Satan knows His end, he knows that he will be defeated, he knows that he has lost already, he knows that if you stand up and arise in all that what we have taught you in the first book and in this book, that he has to retread and he has to run away, because God is at your site to help you and to give you a victorious victory. This is the reason why the Word of God says that he has only but left a little time and season upon this earth, and that he in this little time he has, will seek and try to devour, to kill and to destroy everyone with the terrifying sound of his grieving howling. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sensible, watch, because your adversary the Devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking someone he may be able to devour; He did understand very well what God said to Adam and Eve as he heard that they have been given the right to control the earth and to be the rulers over it. He thought that earth was his, but nothing like that! Well, God did create the earth and He can do with it as He likes, it is His earth and it was Gods desire that the crown of His creation would be the ruler over His earth together with Him, as a divine heavenly Father. And therefore he gave Adam and Eve the right to be the rulers over the whole earth.

71

And because of that we are now not only earthly beings, but now also have been transformed to be heavenly beings and to have a place in heaven, will there even in heaven be no place anymore for him; not in the first, the second and in the third heaven. There is only one place left for him and his angels; and that is his future and his destiny very surely and definite and he knows it! In the last contractions of his evil body he tries to drag with him in the lake of fire as much souls as he is able. And as long that he is still the ruler upon this earth and has some influence we have to guard ourselves with the God given armory so that we will not be captivated through his deceiving, trickery of arms again. He knows very well that if we start to fight and to battle in AGREEMENT with Gods PERFECT WILL, he has to run! He knows that our weapons are 10.000 times stronger as his, but do we know it? He knows that we belong to the divine family of God, the DESIGNATED Victors. But do you believe that?

3 - WITH KNOWLEGDE OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR WEAPONRY Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me," saith the LORD. 2Corinthians 10:5,6 with the Word of God we are pulling down imaginations and every high wall, every high thing lifting up itself which go’s against the knowledge of God, and so we bring into captivity every thought into and under the obedience of Christ, 6 and having our readiness, being ready and all set to avenge all disobedience, whenever your obedience is completely fulfilled. 2Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image 035 eikon (embodying expression and personality of God himself) of God. Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called Devil, and, Satan; he deceiving the whole habitable world was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Well you have to know that the Devil will use and activate every trick of deceit so that you will not be able to recognize what is been given to you in Christ Jesus. For this, he will do everything and he will put up every mask and face he can to let you fall down on the way of your walk with God. He will place many traps and he will come continually with all kinds of temptations and even with deceitful miracles, to pull us of from the simplicity of FAITH! 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity (OF FAITH) that is in Christ. Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil. Ephesians 4:11 And indeed He gave some to be apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; 12 with a view to the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ, 13 until we all may come to the unity of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, to a full–grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be infants, having been blown and carried to and fro by every wind of doctrine, in the underhandedness of men, in craftiness with a view to the trickery of error, 15 but speaking the truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the head, the Christ, 72

And the teachings, the Instructions and the true serving Servants to the Body of Christ will make us that strong in our LOVE relationship with God that the following thing will happen: Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. That what is in fact strong and stronger as we are - in our physical condition – is been beaten, is been smashed down, and defeated by the weaker one: and this just because we have made an allied bondage and have joined ourselves with God. Therefore we have the strongest of the entire Universe at our side and all His myriads of Angels! So who dares to say that he is not STRONG with God at his side? God has great pleasure to fight and to battle for those who are weak and He has chosen those who do know and acknowledge that they are in a weak condition. For actually we all are! But who dares to admit? 1Corinthians 1:24 But unto them and for them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, is Christ Jesus the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness wisdom of God is wiser than that of men; and the weakness of God is stronger than that of men. 26 For consider your call, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, and not many mighty, nor many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound (to make speechless, to confuse and to amaze) the things (the men) which are mighty; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are. 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 but you are of him in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us, (this is you) wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord and of the Lord. (That he knows Him)" Wasn’t Peter weak at the moment that he jumped out of the boat? Wasn’t Joshua not unable to tare down the walls of Jericho out of his own strength? Many, many man and women in the Bible show us and give us an example of their weakness and how they found strength, power in and through their passionate love and cleaving to God and were thereby made able to do the impossible. For those who walk with God is nothing impossible. The greatest and most important goal of our enemy is to withhold us to recognize the truth of the real situation; we are not allowed to see, that if we start to resist him, to oppose him and to refuse his commands that the whole godhead is backing us up and that they will support us. What is even worse, he knows that when we start to recognize and to BELIEVE that Gods Armory is 10.000 times stronger as everything he is able to bring against it – his whole army – that it is done with him; that is the moment that he has no influence over your live anymore. Hebrew 4:12 For the word of God is living, and powerfully 036 energes working, active and productive and sharper than any two–edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of both soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern, to judge 037 Kritikos the thoughts and intentions of the heart. The Word of God is able to judge the thoughts, the motivations and intensions of our feelings, and the attitudes of our heart. Magnified

4 - WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MY ENEMY What is it that I should know about my enemy? Well I think the most important thing you should know is that he is full of fear! And you should know about your enemy that he has no more power over your live as that you admit that he has! He is the one who has actually more fear as you! Because when you cleave to the heart of God, he has God as His enemy fighting against him in every move you take! This is why he deceives us to all kind of sin so that we will not be able to fight against him with God at our site! Our adversary, the enemy of God, he who has deceived Adam and Eve; he knows that OUR FAITH will crush and smash his head; it will destroy and nullify all the might and power he has over us! I believe that he knows better as the majority of Christians how much Authority we really have and how much authority is granted to us when we really start to CLEAVE to Gods heart, to love Him with all our might, with all our strength, heart and soul. Do you remember Pharaoh, where we talked about; he was full of fear and his heart was stricken with terror for the slaves he held in captivity! No matter what he did, they kept on growing, getting stronger and stronger. And he knew that it was just a matter of time that they would be able to take in Egypt-land. Believe me; Satan has fear for the chosen ones! He knows that Father God has given you as a man (husband) or woman the full right of inheritance to have authority over your own body, soul and spirit, but also over your inheritance; your family, your wife and children. He knows that when we really and truly start to recognize what is the greatness of the gift of our inheritance in Jesus Christ and when we start to take it in and to grasp the rights of our inheritance; he knows that than he will have nothing to laugh anymore! But therefore will we have more and reason enough to laugh with a great joy of heart. Than will we start to scream with all our might and with all our strength with the FULL ASSURENCE THAT WE ARE MORE AS VICTORS – when we go into the Battle! James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore (first) to God. And than you will be able to resist 12 ant'histemi, the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Magnified

2Corinthians 11:13 For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 Did not Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light? 15 It is not a great thing, then, if also his ministers transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. Acts 20:30 and out of you yourselves will rise up men speaking perverted things, in order to draw away the disciples after themselves. Romans 16:18 For such ones do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth speaking and flattering they deceive the hearts of those without guile. The enemy is within us and even within the Body of Christ! One thing you should never forget and that is that he will come to you in a way that you will not directly recognize him! You will not be able to see and to recognize him in your brothers and sisters how he is deceiving you like he did with Adam using Eve his wife! He will come as a good minister, as a religious priest, and as what ever is needed to deceive you and to hold you of from a personal walk with God! For he knows that when this happens that his time is over! In our next Book we will go much deeper into this!

5 - FIGHT WITH BOLDNESS, BRAVE AND WITHOUT FEAR Deuteronomy 3:28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. Deuteronomy 31:6-8 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that will go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them (their inheritance); and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee. Joshua 1:6-9 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Jozua 10:25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 1Chronicles 28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD. You can see in the live of David that Warfare and joy in the same, go together because it makes fun to wage Warfare with God at our site! When we do what God tells us to do He will always be with us and than the battle will even be of great joy and fear we will not even find it in our hearts! We will not even know what that is a feeling like fear, no we will have great joy and with a passionate heart we will hunt the foxes together with the lover of our soul. Psalm 27:11-14 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Isaiah 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, (for battle) and confirm the feeble knees (stable, strong in the warfare). 4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. Acts 27:22-25 And now I exhort you to be cheered, for there will be no casting away of soul from among you, only of the ship. 23 For tonight stood by me an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24 saying, Do not fear, Paul, You must stand before Caesar. And, behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you. 25 Therefore, be cheered, men, for I believe God, that it will be so according to the way it was spoken to me. Zechariah 8:13 And it shall be, as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear; let your hands be strong. Colossians 1:10,11 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 2Timothy 2:1-7 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, commit thou the same to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also.

6 - BATTLE AND WAGE WARFARE WITH JOY Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decked himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorned herself with her jewels. Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. When the joy in the Lord is my strength and when this gives me strength and power, live and energy, what is than with my live when there is no joy in my God? Are than the circumstances my joys, my strength, and my power? What is actually nothing else as that the circumstances have to be good will I be able to experience joy in my God and in live. Well actually this is the normal natural situation but not for the joy in my God. I can have joy and find great pleasure in my God even in times of great pressure and difficulties; and I know very well where I am speaking about. I will not find strength in the circumstances in my live, because the worries of my live are eating me up, so that I will not find any strength and power in them. And I give my energy and the power of my live to the cares of my live and not unto my God, through worshipping and praising him in ALL circumstances of live. My own human power and strength is NOT capable and not able to hold on through in a desert time experience and in times of dried. Who are making streams in the desert? Psalms 84:6 Passing through the valley of weeping, they will make it a fountain; even the early rain covers with blessings. Psalm 84:1-12 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longed, yea, even fainted for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cried out for the living God. 3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and 76

the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 7 They go from strength to strength; every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. 9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 10 For one day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewere. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Yes it can take very long, but the reserved, stored up energy, our own human strength, is not endless and not eternal. It seems to be very characterizing for us humans (also Christians) that we are not any sooner willing to drink from the Eternal River of live-energy after that we ourselves have NOTHING anymore. This has all to do with stubbornness, pride and rebellion; with selfishness and a self-willed live. This is one of the reasons why God allows a lot of tribulations in our lives, so that we finely will start to drink from Him and that we start to receive and to take the energy and the joy out of Him, which is there in a measure, which is abundantly more live and energy as that we are able to handle, for this is a never ending energy of live till in eternity! Do you understand now that we can love our wife’s and our children with a never ending love if we cleave unto God under all circumstances of live? Oh yes, we humans are capable unto Gigantic great performances and achievements with and in our own strength; Yes, with our own humanly power we did build the Eifel tower in Paris, others have painted great Arts like the Mona Lisa; again others have achieved seemingly other great things like psychology and humanism, the pyramids in Egypt and the tower of Babylon and many other great humanly achievements, like the so called seven World wonders! But in all this is involved a lot of “bitterness, pain and sorrow” and a lot of them have even become sick of it; and what even is much more worse, is that in all their striving, in all the passions and all the different kind of zeal’s many have missed – I do not want to say all - the most important goal in their live and that is to learn to know God. Nothing from this all what they have built, made, created and have achieved brought them closer to God; no much more happened just the opposite and they started to rebel against God. This is why achieving the HUMANLY WISDOM, the Wisdom of this world, is an attitude of enmity against the WISDOM and the KNOWLEDGE of God. And in this attitude of enmity they have Satan at their site, encouraging them to lay one stone more, to build one street more, to build the tower higher and higher until we finely walk down the clips into the deep with Satan hunting us into our own death. He is encouraging us as humanity to wage war against God and he uses us as his Army to build his own kingdom a Kingdom with his structures and his ideas, the WISDOM of this world and the Religion of this world. And all this brings us into a spiritual death and a lot of other forms of death and than there is no joy anymore as only bitterness and “lifelessness”. And this brings us to a situation as we have seen in Ezekiel 37. But when the intimate relationship with my God gives me strength and when He is my strength, than I am not leaning anymore upon my own strength, but upon Him who gives strength power and live energy in all fullness making my live full with His live and live abundantly. Strength and power shall I find in the joy unto my beloved and the joy unto my beloved is an expression of Passion, fire and zeal for Him who loves our soul so dearly. This joy will give us strength, energy and live-power in ALL circumstances of live. It will uphold our strength, power of live and it will keep us healthy! 77

Solomon 8:5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Psalms 45:10,11 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; 11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. Psalms 107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble and he delivered them out of their distresses. Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her (speaking to her heart His words) there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. We know who that was! It was John who loved Jesus as his own live and soul. He cleaved more than any one else to the heart and soul of Jesus. Jesus was his lover, the lover of his soul; they were a seal upon each other hearts. Who is able to understand the joy John had day after day leaning upon His Jesus; looking into His eyes and hearing EATING and DRINKING every word which came from His mouth, from His heart, from the passion and the zeal and the Fire of His loving heart; even washing the feet of John. John 3:29 The one having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend (John and likewise Ministers) of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with great joy because of the bridegroom's voice. Then this my joy has been fulfilled. Solomon 4:9 You have ravished My heart, My sister, My spouse; you have ravished My heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck. 10 How beautiful are your loves, My sister, My spouse! How much better are your loves than wine, and the scent of your ointments than all spices! 11 Your lips, My spouse, drip like the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue. And the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon. 12 A locked and sealed garden is My sister, My spouse; a rock heap locked up, a sealed fountain. Solomon 5:1 I have come into My garden, My sister, My spouse; I have gathered My myrrh with My spice. I have eaten My honeycomb with My honey; I have drunk My wine with My milk. Eat and drink, O friends; yea, drink fully, beloved ones. Matthew 9:15 And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bride chamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken from them, and then they will fast. John 15:10-13 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (than His Joy will remain in you) Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost*. 18 For he that in/with these things serve Christ (on this way) is acceptable to God, and approved of men. *Not in the circumstances 78

Proverbs 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad. Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit (will) is broken. Proverbs 18:14 The spirit of a man (his joy, chearness of heart) will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones. Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with and through the Holy Ghost. When the Joy of the Lord my God in and through the power of the Holy Spirit is my strength than is it inevitable, certain and sure that I will go into the battle and warfare with joy! There is this story someone made up about a little Belgian tribe in the time that Rome was ruling: “Asterix and Obelix.” You know how they went into the battle against the Romans? With great joy, with passion fire and zeal did they fight for they knew they were unbeatable! No matter how great an army was arrayed against them they defeated that army! So Caesar left them alone, knowing that they could take in the whole world if they wanted. So he didn’t want to wake them up and let them believe that they were not able to rule the world. I loved that story and now I know why; because even the weakest became a hero! Well they have this secret drink, but we have JESHUA and His Myriad of angels at our site! And if we go into battle; we will be just like them more as victors! You see the parable? Go and have a look at the movies they made and than position yourself in this little tribe with Jeshua in front of it having a cry of war in his mouth! Follow Him on your horse! Follow Him with great joy to tear down the Nations and to lay them at His feet! Go with Joy into the battle for no weapon which is formed against you will be effective; this is your right of INHERITANCE if you cleave to His heart and if it is the cry of your heart to do nothing else as THE WILL OF THE FATHER and to obey the Commands He gives you! Than your Joy will be as great as you have never ever felt in your live! And now read again John 15:10-13 and than you will understand more as before! After having received a command from the Lord of Lords from the host of hosts than are these the moments to rise up and to let hear your voice with a great sound with a great cry and a yowl of victory; and this with great joy for the victory He has promised us! Oh, I will warfare with great Joy and than is the battle not hard work and not a dwindling weakening mission, duty or a hard activity; no than is it an acting, a mission and a duty with great Passion, Fire Zeal and JOY TO THE FULLEST! Does it sounds crazy when I tell you that we find the passion for battle for a major part in knowing that before that we start to wage warfare that we are already victors; does it sounds crazy that we sell the skin of the bear even before we have killed him? Sounds crazy he? Well this is divine WISDOM, not of the world. We are crazy in the eyes of those in the world to talk even about victory before that we have gone into the Battle! But it is MORE as true, that we are MORE AS JUST VICTORS – if we want to believe in it because He has achieved and attained for us the Victory and he SHARES with us this VICTORY, even over death. But because He wants to TRAIN us and because He wants to teach us WARFARE, he did leave some Giants alive in our INHERITANCE such which we will only be ABLE TO DEFEAT TOGETHER WITH HIM. And as we already have taught you is it ONLY YOUR RIGHT to hunt, to kill and to destroy these Giants from your inheritance. Through the Bond relationship with the 79

Lord our God, in and through the Blood of Jesus He is allowed to help us to conquer back what the devil has stolen from us so that we finely will become the rightful owners and RULERS upon this earth with God as our heavenly Father and with Jesus as our rightful Bridegroom. So, we will therefore in future time – in the new dispensation of time which has come – we will see how great and powerful the hand from God is for those who fight with Him and for Him. Jesus and the Father will not and they may not ALONE battle and wage war against our enemy, although it is also His enemy; but TOGETHER with HIM will He and is He allowed to wage warfare for us and with us, although it is actually GODS WARFARE! It is the BOND RELATIONSHIP which ALLOWS and tricks the enemy so that HE may go IN FRONT OF US slaying our enemies! But IMPORTANT is not to BREAK the BOND TREATMENT, for this makes it for the RIGHTEOUS GOD impossible to fight and to battle for us. But when He commands us; and we do as He commands us than He will be there at our site to support us in our battle – for we live in a BOND-RELATIONSHIP. We will learn and teach you more about this in the Next Book about Joshua, Gods Hero! But in the Book: “The Lion of the tribe of Judah” we will go very deep in the principle BOND-RELATIONSHIP. We just touch it now here so that you can make your mind about these things. Because I WILL ONLY BE VICTOR through my BONDRELATIONSHIP with God, the Father and the Son, with whom I have made an ETERNAL bond, a sealed MARRIAGE-BOND-RELATIONSHIP through the BLOOD OF JESUS. Joshua is a great marvelous example in how we are able to take in the God given inheritance, to capture it and to conquer back what is in the hands of the enemy. For the Body of Christ is the Book of Joshua, for this day, a structural example, a pattern an outline a model and a blueprint how God the Father will raise up His Army of HOLY WARRIORS to conquer the Nations of this world! And actually was it my desire to bring the example of Joshua in this Book and to work that out; but as I started to write I recognized that the Spirit of God gave me so much that I had to ask what now Father? His answer was clear and direct: I had to make an end at this book and to close it and I had to write another Book about Joshua; so I did and I just mentioned here Joshua as an example. So this is why this is the last Chapter of this Book and why this Book will end with this chapter. But as another example we also have David, the way he go’s into the battle and into the warfare. And as my thoughts are with David is it actually very logical that it is a psalmist who go’s in front of the battle; a Singer who sings his heart out for the Love of His God. For that time he must have been something like the modern MINSTRELS from today; but only with one GREAT difference: HE SINGS ABOUT HIS LOVE NOT TO A MAN OR A WOMAN, BUT ABOUT THE LOVE FOR HIS GOD. His heart cleaves to the lover of His heart and LOVE SONGS is the theme of his songs, even when he wages warfare! And now we come back to the joy of our heart and in our heart: It is the joy on and in the Lord God which makes our heart sing, which makes our feet light and swift to dance. When it is not like this than we should better stop singing. Because when it is not the love and the joy in the Lord the lover of our heart which makes that our heart sings, how will than this other singing, sound in the ears of our God? I will be very honest; but I think that in Gods ears it will sound like a howling, some weird sound! Oh in our ears this sound will be sounding o so perfect, every tune fits, melody fine; but God hears the tune and the melody of our heart a tune and a melody nobody can hear as only the lover of your heart! And this is beautiful in His ears, although it may sound on a natural way imperfect, for God this is a PERFECT SONG – BECAUSE OUR HEART IS IN IT!

80

What I also mean is; try to worship and to praise God with passion, fire, zeal and enthusiasm WITHOUT the divine passion and the divine joy which the Lord God has given us; without the joy in the Lord our God, which is our strength and our passion. Are you able to imagine – just a little bit – what this than actually is? Well one thing is for sure: it is not a complete and total sacrifice of fire! Okay I leave you with this statement to think it over, but I will give you one extra Scripture in the Word of God supporting this! Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly (jumps) rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. Is all of this not a beautiful picture, giving us an Image of the Spirit of a warrior? As for me, it has become very clear that I can actually only go into the battle with joy. How else will I find strength for battle, or how else will I be able to hold on and to push through in times of trouble, pain and suffering; and still keep my faith? In the summation of the fruits of the Spirit – which is nothing else as the outline of the character of Jesus Christ – is the second one; after the fruit of the Agape love, the Fruit of JOY and of CHEERFULNESS. So if we have an INTIMATE LOVE RELATIONSHIP with our BELOVED than we do not need to go through live with on our face the marks and the tractions of hurt and pain; even than when pain hurt and suffering is evidently a part of our live. And I know where I am speaking about! If there are tears because of that, let them flow in the night upon your bed in the presence of your God and He will give you the strength to bare it and to make it through. Do not pray that times of trouble and suffocation stop, pray that Father God gives you the STRENGTH and the DIVINE power to hold through else you will find yourselves praying: God give me another husband or another woman! The word of God says very clearly that the JOY OF THE LORD is my strength, is my live energy, my vitality! When this would not be possible than we didn’t need to have the DIVINE FRUIT of JOY; which the Spirit of God desires to make us a partaker of. I believe that the DIVINE FRUIT of joy firstly is there so that I will be able to have joy unto and into Gods word and unto the Lord Himself and unto having joy in knowing His good, pleasant and perfect will. Because when I learn to know Him in the daily cares of live itself; than will we be able to go our way with joy no matter how this road is and where we have to go. And through spending time, residing into His presence will He be able to share with us His joy under all circumstances. John 15:10-11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 2Corinthians 8:2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. Joel 2:23-32 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, which hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and 81

pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

7 - WAGE WARFARE ONLY WITH AN ASSIGNMENT A COMMAND Mandatory Commission

1Chronicles 28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen, selected and appointed thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it. For everything what God with and through us desires to work and to do we need instructions a command or a mandate. Well I believe that it has become evidently clear that for the battle against sin and taking over the rulership over my soul, spirit and body, we ALL have already received a COMMAND from God. He has made this very clear in His Word written down through Paul who had to lay down the fundament of Grace and Faith. And this is what we have taught you also. You know now that we have received a very first command and mandate and that is the command and the mandate to take back the rulership over your soul, spirit (will) and body, to bring it under the obedience of Gods will, than this is why Jesus died. This is also the reason why God the Holy Spirit will ALWAYS be at your site to support you in this and to take the lead to help you to gain a complete and full victory! We just have to TRUST HIM! He knows more, He sees more, He hears more, which we do not! This is why Jesus sends us the Holy Spirit, which teaches us everything CONCERNING OUR INHERITANCE and who helps us to come and to attain the FINAL VICTORY which is already given to us. The only thing we have to do is to GRASP IT, TO MAKE IT OUR OWN and this step for step, part for part and revelation after revelation; Vision after vision, instruction after instruction. This is why I am commanded to write to you these Books; so that you shall come into ALL what the Father has Planned for you and so that YOU KNOW HIS WILL FOR YOU. After that we have been TRAINED AND SCHOOLED in these things, having attained victory over the rulership of our sinful will and other things which surround us which have to do with our inheritance; after that, so God wills, you will come to the actual ASSIGNMENT where you have been TRAINED FOR! A function which is for every one different and which varies in effectiveness and strength but all will be pleased with this placing and this function, for the Father knows what pleases you. And I still do not talk about being CHOSEN and being handpicked for a SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT. Anyway, one thing is for sure, no matter your function and you’re placing in the Body of Christ: ALL HAVE AND ARE CALLED TO BE PERFECT PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE OF THE SON OF GOD AND HIS ETERNAL LIVE, TO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF A WARRIOR. Here in this book I will not go very deep into the diverse kinds of Assignments and Mandates and the structures of them, this would go too far; but we will address some things here. I think that we do understand very well that we can only go into a battle and a war with an explicit command and instructions and that we can receive this as an: “I have chosen you for – and than you can fill this in for yourself if you know it – go into the battle for – and again fill it in if you know it – and than I will go in front of you to slay, to eliminate and to kill your enemy.

82

So I am sure that you will also understand that if you go into the battle and into the warfare, in a Ministry or what ever has to do with working in Gods field, without a command that this can go out very bad for you. Firstly, you will be than a worker of unrighteousness and secondly you give the enemy all the rights and all the changes to DECEIVE YOU, to rob you, to enslave you, to rape you and to kill you! You go into a battle and a warfare without DIVINE support, without authority; you battle a combat which you are not allowed to go in. Do you want to be named through Father God a “WORKER OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS”? Well me not! When my Father God had not prepared me already for many years for this what you are now reading and when I had not received an explicit command, yes an assignment and a mandate from the Father and the Son: I would never ever have had the courage to write all the books which unto now I was able to write. To be able to fulfill this Assignment I did receive a special anointing which the Lord God gave me which enabled me to hear and to understand what He desires me to write down. What I have is only what He has given to me and I am only the CHOSEN instrument in His hand. It is HIS GRACE and to Him all the Glory and the entire honor. I WOULD NEVER EVER BE ABLE TO DO THIS WORK WITHOUT HIS HELP AND WITHOUT THAT HE MAKES ME ABLE. Nothing from that what I have written down comes out of myself, and I have nothing what is not been given to me. And still are there so numerous workers of unrighteousness, workers and laborers who are able to work without an assignment and without instructions. It are workers who manage it without being a co-laborer with the Holy Spirit, they do not work together with the Spirit of God. And it is nothing else as the character of the church of Laodicea who did not work together with the Spirit of God; she has no intimate love relationship anymore with the lover of their soul and they have closed Him out, put Him out of the door! They labor and work with the strength of their own energy – they come time for time in a burn out – and because they are deceived they are working more and more hand in hand with religious demonic spirits, which, what is very logically, take the lead and start to work false, deceptive, deceiving misleading miracles which only confuse. The Word what they preach becomes more and more deceitful, demonic and they definitely do not preach and teach the KINGDOM OF GOD! But the time is over that my Father has tolerated this and has put up with this. Judgment is coming! He is unto it to bring forth an army of DEDICATED man and woman of God who will even start to JUDGE these false workers, preachers, teachers, apostles, prophets, evangelist and what so ever they call them selves what they are not. They REPENT or God will take them away, placing another man or woman of God which He has chosen to fulfill that position. The desire of my Father is to make that His Kingdom will become more and more visible and He will remove everything out of it what does not belong into it. There are a lot of things which shall be shaken, but ALL who desire to HEAR and who DESIRE to act and to react upon that what the SPIRIT of God speaks NOW to the Body of Christ will find ABUNDANTLY GRACE. Who will seek GRACE, will find GRACE! If my Father allows me or commands me I will write another book which addresses than in detail the variety of Mandates which we can find in the Word of God, the enablement’s which Father God grants to be ABLE to FULFILL HIS MANDATE and the different limitations, restrictions and boundaries of authority and power of effectiveness belonging to the mandate which Father God grants us. That I will become a ruler, a king over my body, soul and spirit is definitely an assignment and a command and a mandate which is for every Christian the same. That I will come to a Serving rulership over my family is also for everyone the same but when it comes to all the different kind of 83

things which have to be done around the structure of the Body of Christ (the church) and the assignments in Gods Kingdom; these are for ALL TOTALLY DIFFERENT. And all the work which has to be done they should ONLY be done through the assignments and the instructions which the King hands out and which He gives everyone after his abilities. There is much to do and for everyone has God something to do! He has planned something for you what fits to you; and when you have come to the fulfillment of your first command than very surely it will not leave you without fruit or without labor.

8 - BATTLE AND FIGHT AWAKE, ALERT, ATTENTIVE, WATCHFUL As I came to this point I didn’t knew what to write about being alert and awake; oh yes I had some thoughts but they were just mines! So I decided to wait upon a hint a thought which came from my Father, from the Holy Spirit or from Jesus. After a couple of days I found in the back of my bible some notes of statements which I ones had written down. One of them was the statement that I do not need to do anything to find myself back in the camp of Egypt but that I have to fight to stay out of it. The enemy is not waging war against those which he has already under his spell and in his power, those who are sitting at his table who are in his house and who go there in and out. He is waging war against the Christians and those among them who have made them selves up to become free. He is waging war against the minor remnant that is rising up in power and strength; he is waging war against the chosen, selected warriors who ask after Gods perfect will for their lives and that of others. Well he must be insane; to battle against them, but it is just like with Caesar and Asterix and Obelix; it is his FEAR FOR THEM which makes that he still tries to do something to hold them down, although he knows that no weapon formed against us will prosper or will be effective, but maybe he will find a few which he can devour with his howling. I mean, he knows that he is fighting a lost battle and that he is defeated already. He has just as much fear as pharaoh had in his time for the slaves that they would become numerous, great and strong and just as mighty, full of power and might as Moses and Jesus. Because when this happens they will start to have a bond relationship with God and than they will start to rebel, to revolt and to fight back and this means at the end that he looses everything what he has stolen from them over all the years. To it comes that they will start to infect the hearts of their companions, their brothers and sisters so that they will also start to resist them selves against the oppression of their slavery. This is why he is waging war against you and yes you should better be awake, alert, attentive and watchful. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; (alert. On your gard) because your adversary the devil, walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may able to devour: 9 Whom resist 12 ant'histemi steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Magnified So a very good reason to be alert, to be attentive, sober and temperate. But to be alert and watchful you have to be AWAKE, you have to be sober minded and you have to have a clear sight. Those that go in a battle and a combat will not lay themselves down in the grass to rest without being sure that there is one who is watching over them. Hmm, it just comes to my mind; Jesus send them two by two so that they could take care of each other. When one would fall, the other could lift him up and help him. 84

We live in a very dangerous exiting highly dramatic and spectacular dispensation of time; because God is arising to fight the END TIME war against the darkness and also will we see how the demonic powers and might’s will array themselves against Gods children. The whore of Babylon will in a very short time get of from the JUDGMENTS which God will start to pour down from heaven and it would be very wise to move yourself out of this Babylonic Religious System so that you will not receive and become a partaker of the WRATH of His JUDGMENTS which he definitely will pour out over her! More than ever as in any other dispensation of time God will raise up Prophets and Apostles in the power and the strength of Elisha and Elisa (Father and son/daughter) and God will use these man and woman from God to SHAKE the Body of Christ and God will even use angels to wake up what is sleeping now; so that the Body of Christ receives a chance to come out of Babylon and to become a true inhabitant of the Kingdom of God, represented through the SERVANTS (APOSTOLIC PROPHETS) of GOD. Those Christians who are willing what God wills and those who take heed and listen to that what the Spirit of God is speaking NOW to the Body of Christ will be saved, will be strengthened and will learn to know the reality what Father God is doing for those WHO TRULY DESIRE TO SERVE HIM. Malachi 3:16-18 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that remembered their names. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day (the days of JUDGMENT AND WRATH) when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spared his own son that serves him. 18 Then shall you again see and discern the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not. We did already talk about it ones, but it is so important that it will come back time on time again for yes God will spare those who TRULY SERVE HIM, and that are all those SERVANTS who have in their heart: FATHER YOUR WILL BE DONE, WHAT IS YOUR WILL and who do nothing else as WAITING and SPEAKING FAITH. Malachi 4 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. 4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. There is much to tell about this and to teach but not here, not in this volume. I have written a special part about the Spirit of Elijah and so God wills will it be used in the Books which are coming. We end this part of being Alert, sober and watchfulness with some Bible scriptures which clarify again the urgent need of being controlled guided and directed through the Spirit of God and being attentive. Revelation 3:2,3 Be watching, and establish the others which have left, which are about to die. For I have not found your works being fulfilled before God. 3 Then remember how you received and 85

heard (the Word I gave you), and keep (that Word in your heart), and repent. If, then, you do not watch and do not wake up, I will come upon you like a thief and you will not at all know what hour I will come upon you. Magnified Revelation 16:15 Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is the one watching and keeping his garments, that he does not walk naked, and they may see his shame. Matthew 24:42 Watch, then, for you do not know in what hour your Lord comes. 43 But know this, that if the housemaster had known in what watch the thief comes, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be dug through. 44 Because of this, you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of man comes. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom his lord has set over his household, to give to them the food in season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord shall find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly I say to you, He will set him over all his substance. 48 But if that wicked servant says in his heart, My lord delays to come, 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and to drink with the ones drinking (to be tempted and being deceived of their own heart and flesh), 50 the lord of that slave will come in a day in which he does not expect it and in an hour which he does not know, 51 and He will cut him in two, and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth. Matthew 26:39-41 And going forward a little, He fell on His face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will. 40 And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And He said to Peter, So! Were you not able to watch one hour with Me? 41 Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Luke 12:37 Blessed are those slaves whom the Lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you that he will gird himself and will make them recline, and coming up he will serve them. 38 And if he comes in the second watch, or he comes in the third watch, and finds it so, blessed are those slaves. 39 But know this, that if the house–master had known the hour the thief is coming, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through. 40 And you, then, be ready; for in the hour you think not, the Son of man comes. Colossians 4:2 Steadfastly continue in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving, Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do as the others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we are awake or in a sleep, we should live together with him. If we are watchful and attentive: we are able to avoid and to stay away from situations and circumstances which can become very painful. Do you remember Lot the nephew from Abraham? Well he wasn’t very attentive to start to live in the area of Sodom and Gomorra. And this brings us directly to the next Topic we want to talk about with you. We are able to avoid a lot of pain hurt and distress if we stay away from certain places and stay away from certain situations. Just by changing some habits in our lives and through recognizing our Achilles – the weak areas in our lives in us, in our character – we can avoid a lot of problems hurt, pain and defeat. And if we are wise than will it be possible that these areas can even become our strongest area.

86

AVOID: EVADE, KEEP AWAY FROM, ABSTAIN FROM, WITHHOLD AND REFRAIN FROM AND SUCH ALIKE In the Dutch languish there is a saying: je moet niet de kat op het spek binden, which means literally, you should not tie the cat upon the meat. Well it is this which we will address in short here talking about avoiding and staying away from what ever is your Achilles. Well there is a Bible scripture where Paul is addressing this very clearly and he is saying something like: Well it is good to take care of your body and that you please it somewhat, BUT take heed for it that it doesn’t enflame, that is doesn’t get horny, so that lusts and covetousness and wrong passions captivate you and come against you as an armed man and enforces you to do things from which you know that they do not please God; because than you miss your target and that is sin. And I have expressed this Bible scripture very widely so that everybody can understand it. Romans 13:11-14 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares 2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will and desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. James 4:1 From whence come wars and fighting’s among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 1Timothy 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ 30 katastreniao (feel the impulses of sexual desire), they will marry; katastreniao kat-as-tray-nee-ah'-o from 2596 and 4763; TDNT-3:631,420; v AV-begin to wax wanton against 1; 1 1) to feel the impulses of sexual desire- Father Paul is speaking about elder Widows breaking their vow not to marry again because of their sexual desires. 87

We will read some more Bible scriptures who address this Major problem in us but we have to make a radical cut, from the habits from before the time that we became a Christian and this on such a way that it hurts and that the soul screams. If we do not do that, than will we always find ourselves still walking upon the old pads of this world and because of that we will bring ourselves continually under the influence of the temptations for the flesh. And actually who went into the desert time directly after being baptized? Exactly, well the same thing and the same way is the way we have to go; into the dessert time, the time where the flesh is been killed and the works of the flesh. It was not just like that that God gave Israel the manna which came from heaven, when it was in its desert time. Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in and after the Spirit, (Let it be an inclination and a habit to react upon his Instructions, to be led, to be taken by the hand and to be controlled through the Spirit of God) and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (You shall not even react upon the passions, lusts, desires and the habits of the flesh and to give in to it) Magnified Matthew 5:29 And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand offends you, cut it off and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. Understand very well what the Spirit of God is communicating to us here, because He is not telling us that you really should amputate any part of your body, for it is His desire that your whole body and soul undamaged is been saved. It means nothing else as that we have to do ALL WHAT IS REQUIRED and what we are able to do; to take care of it that we do not come to falling into sin, meaning that we have to wage a warfare and that we have to fight a battle against sin. That’s what it means to take your cross upon you every day so that the rulership of the sinful flesh and soul dies! Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin. 7 For he who died has been justified from sin. Romans 8:13,14 For if you live according to the flesh, if you adjust your live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit, by the help of the Spirit of God mortify, kill and destroy the deeds of the body, (the effective destructive deceiving working will of the flesh) you shall live (and have live abundantly). 14 For as many which are led by the Spirit of God, as many as let take themselves by the hand to be shown the way, 021ago, they are the sons/daughters of God. Magnified Galations 5:24 And they that are of Jesus Christ crucify (kill destroy) the flesh with all the wrong affections passions and lusts. (They are in a process of perishing and of dieing) Collosians 3:5 Mortify, kill destroy, put to death therefore your body members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, passion, evil lustfulness, and covetousness, being greedy, which is idolatry. Isaiah 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge and avenge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 88

1Thessalonians 4:3 For this is God's will 031 Thelema, your sanctification 032 hagiasmo, for you to abstain 033 ap'echomai from fornication 034 porneia, 4 and that each one of you knows to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, even as also the nations do, not knowing God; ap'echomai; AV-abstain; withdraw, refrain, give up. Stay away from. 1Corinthians 6:15-20 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for the two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1Corinthians10:14 Therefore, my dearly beloved, escape, flee, avoid, evade, keep away from, abstain from, withhold and refrain from idolatry. Magnified 2 Peter 1:3-4 As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness through the full knowledge of the One calling us through glory and virtue, 4 by which means He has given to us the very great and precious promises, so that through these promises you might be partakers of the divine nature, but not any sooner in full as that you escape, flee, avoid, evade, keep away from, abstain from, withhold and refrain from the corruption in the world by lust. Strongly Magnified Hebrew 12:1 Therefore then, seeing that we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony of the truth], let us also like them strip off and throw aside every hindrance (let us demolish, destroy, tear down, tear of from us, throw out of our way each unnecessary ballast and weight, each burden and each obstacle) and the sin which reaches us always so easily and surrounds us so quickly, the sin which hasty and fast, masterly, deftly and cleverly deceives us and cleaves to us on a very subtle way making us slow; therefore let us run with patience and a constant perseverance and with an active passionate will in the fight and the battle who lays in front of us. Let us fight the fight which God commanded us and the appointed pursuit, and the battle that is set before us.

WEAK BUT MIGHTY What is the source for the warrior his strength, his energy, where will he find his strength and power to wage a warfare and to combat; to refrain, to resist, to oppose and to be able to refuse too give in to the temptations and the deceitful powers from Satan and his demons? What is the secret of His victorious battle? Do you have to be strong to be able to fight and to combat? Or is it so that God has a great desire in it to make us conscious of our weakness so that He can show and manifest His strength in us and through us? Yes, and this for a very good reason: else flesh would glorify and it would be our DOOM and DESTRUCTION. And if my Father creates some extra circumstances or not, so that I fall even quicker upon my face, without Gods nature and virtue I will die a horrible death. We will never ever be able to be victorious out of our own weak fleshly strength over the might and the will of sin in our live and over the demonic forces of Satan and hell. So it is ALWAYS HIS POWER, energy, vitality and live power in and through the Holy Spirit which makes us able, competent and an expert for the battle 89

and the war and in our next Volume, the Book about Joshua we will teach and train you in much more from this; but it is the Word of God Himself which says: “Lett him who is weak speak and say I am strong in the strength and the might of my God.” 2Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect and is been accomplished in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory and have pleasure in my frailties and infirmities, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, (not strong in my own strength) then I am strong. (than I am a hero) Philippians 4:12,13 But I know to be humbled, and I know to abound; in everything, and in all things, I am taught, trained both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound, and to lack. 13 I am able and skilled to do all these things through Christ, the One giving me the power (by the virtue of being a partaker of His enablement’s and His nature). Magnified The power, the ability and the strength to battle and to wage war as a mighty Hero is not something we can find in ourselves no matter or physical condition, we will find this ability only in Jesus Christ and in becoming a partaker in His sufferings, in His death and the resurrection power after that we have died from the rulership of our sinful soul/flesh. It is an ability and a virtue which comes from God and which is given and granted to us in Christ Jesus; if we have become partakers of His sufferings, for than we will also become the right to become partakers of His glory to be able to wage warfare with God as one of His mighty Hero’s. 2Corinthians 3:5 not that we are adequate 038 hikano of ourselves to reason out anything as out of ourselves, but our competence 038 hikano is of God, (He is the source) 1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light, Psalm 24:7,8 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle in war and in combating 039 milchamah. Magnified Joel 3:10 Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior." Ephesians 3:16 I am bowing my knees that He would grant you (GIVING YOU GRACE AND MERCY), according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened, to grow and to increase in strength with might, power and enablement’s by his Spirit in the inner man of your SOUL;(to become manly brave) 17 that Christ may dwell and always be present in your hearts (spirit and soul) by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love AGAPE, 18 that you may be able to comprehend, to understand and to grasp with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (of the Love of Christ) 19 And to know the love of Christ, which is far more higher as all knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness (ALL) of God. (Father Son and Holy Spirit) 90

2Timothy 2:1-7 Thou therefore, my son, be strong, brave and courageous in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, commit thou the same to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Endure thou therefore hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man who warreth entangled himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if also a man strive for masteries, he is yet not crowned unless he strives battles and fights after the rules lawfully. 6 The husbandman who labored must be the first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Magnified Hebrew 11:32-34 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah; also David, and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the strangers. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, in the intimate fellowship and in the power of His extra ordinary might.

CONQUEROR In Gods Kingdom there are only conquerors and victory’s. I go into the battle and into the war to defeat, to destroy to kill and to annihilate the enemy, to conquer and to overcome. This is how it is intended to be in Gods Kingdom and so it will be. Those who BELIEVE as the Word of God has taught us can ONLY HAVE VICTORY. But when I try to do it out of my own strength I will not achieve victory; but the weakness of my simple faith will make me to a victor. John 16:33 I have spoken these things to you that you may have peace in Me. You will have distress and tribulation in the world; but be encouraged; I have overcome 011ni'kao the world. Romans 12:21 Be not overcome 011 ni'kao, defeated, crusched, overpowered and beaten of evil, but overcome 011 ni'kao evil with good. Magnified 1 John 4:4 Little children, you are of God and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater and more powerful than he who is in the world. 1John 5:4,5 For all that has been born out of God gets the victory, prevailes and overcomes, conquers over all that what he has to fight against, 011 ni'kao the world (our body, our soul-live and the powers of this world); and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith. 5 Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he/she that believes that Jesus is the Son of God! Magnified Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes 011 ni'kao will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcomes 011 ni'kao shall not be hurt of the second death. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

26-28 And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. Revelation 3:5 He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 12 Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed 011 ni'kao to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

WE CLOSE THIS BOOK WITH A BIBLE CONTEXT WHICH CONCEIVES THE MAJOR STRUCTURES WE HAVE TEACHED YOU HERE Romans 8:15-39 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs 050 klero'nomos of God, and joint–heirs sug klero'nomos with Christ; if it is so that we are willing to suffer with him, so that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waited with a great desire for the manifestation and the revelation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, to decay, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. The freedom of the glory of the sons of God! Which freedom could that be, which freedom is that? No bondage slave spirit anymore, no oppression anymore from the will of the sinful flesh; practicing rulership authority over spirit, soul and body. Is it not God His glory which reveals Himself in us, in our lives when He gives us, just like He gave Jesus, the victory over all the 92

trickery deceitful attacks of the enemy: Satan and his host of demon warriors? When we as mature sons and daughters of God have learned in full surrender to be dependent as sons and daughters of our Father, to hear upon that what He wills; Than shall we do the works of God and the world shall be able to see the revelation of the sons of God who do great exploits in behave of their Father. Not spiritual children and not spiritual teenagers; No, the revelation of MATURE RIPE man of God, fathers in Christ as also the sons of these fathers in Christ; both together sons of God! 22 For we know that the whole creation groaned and travailed in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but we ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (We live by Faith) 26 And likewise the Spirit also joins us and helps us out in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought to pray (after Gods will); but the Spirit Himself pleads our case for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. 27 But the One searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He intercedes for the saints according to God (what God wills). What I already have said: The Spirit of God is our best friend and will support us in everything and He will give us the power and the strength which we need to be able to achieve victory; but for this we have to work together with the Spirit of God as co-laborers. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Is not so very well translated here that the chosen are been handpicked from the called: For many are called, but only a few are chosen. It is a special separation it is a remnant. It are those who conquer and triumph who represent that remnant. Not that the called should have not eternal live but those who conquer and triumph here upon earth are those which conquer conquering with God: which is the REMNANT AS A BLESSING FOR THE REST. These are the sons and daughters of God were the creation is longing for and waiting for with an earnest desire. Who have studied the book about “Pressing Into – through Fire Zeal and Passion” should read again through the revelation at the start of the book which our Father has given us and something further in the same book I cover up something from out of which one can very clearly discern that God is forming a BODY of VICTORS, AN ARMY OF WARRIORS. And I do not want to shock you, but the time of the Church age has almost come to an END after that shall only be spoken of it as: The KINGDOM OF GOD, the OVER COMERS, THE VICTORS, and THE BRIDE. The church has than done where fore she has been brought to live: TO BRING FORTH AND TO MAKE VISIBLE AND TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD. I can not go deeper into this now but into one of the books about the Lion of Judah we will go much deeper into this.

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen!
