SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Spiritual Warfare is an invisible war between the spiritual forces of Light and Darkness (Good and Evil) over humanity. There are human beings who are influenced by both sides. All believers have the right to exist, the right to live and the right to be happy, healthy, wealthy, and at peace! We all have the right to spiritual freedom through our belief in Yahushuah, the Son of the Most High El Who came to save the world.
There are invisible forces of evil battling to capture, kill, or destroy anyone they can and to steal all their possessions. The invisible forces of good battle against them to save lives and give freedom to all human beings. YAHUAH is Master of the universe and the Creator of all mankind. It is His Kingdom and His Righteousness that we seek. We must seek Him with all our heart, being, mind, and strength that we find Him. In these days of evil, we must be encouraged to get knowledge of Him, seeking His ways and walking in them. Then, we are saved and survive the endtime distresses.
Spiritual Warfare is a war between Messengers (Angels) of Light and the Messengers (Angels) of Darkness. The Messengers of Light are of Elohim--they are of life. The Messengers of Darkness are of the Devil--they are of death and destruction.
The Messengers of Light go back and forth between the heavens and the earth as the Master of the universe directs them. Ya’acob saw this in a dream of a ladder from Heaven to earth and messengers ascending and descending.
The Messengers of Darkness are fallen angels that have been expelled from Heaven to the earth, where they now operate in evil. The fight is not with flesh and blood, but against the kingdom of darkness on the earth; against principalities, authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies.
REVELATION FROM YAH:
"The people must endure if they are going to survive!"
ENDURANCE TO BECOME AN OVERCOMER:
(Matt. 10:22, 24:13)
Endure: to last; to abide; to suffer or sustain without yielding; bearing with patience or without opposition.
We must endure. Through Yahushuah we can endure to be an overcomer.
Ya’aqob/James 1:12: "Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him."
Overcome: to conquer; to get the better of; to surmount, as temptations and obstacles; to gain the superiority; to be victorious
1Yohanan/John 5:1: "Everyone who believes that יהושׁה [Yahushuah] is the Messiah has been born of Elohim, and everyone who loves the One bringing forth also loves the one having been born of Him." (vs. 4-5) "because everyone having been born of Elohim overcomes the world. And this is the overcoming that has overcome the world: our belief. Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who believes that יהושׁה [Yahushuah] is the son of Elohim?"
Yahushuah has already overcome the world for us, we have to believe this, so that we too can overcome in Him.
Yohanan 16:33: “These words I have spoken to you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you have pressure, but take courage, I have overcome the world.”
Equipment for the Battle: Love, Obedience, & Belief
1. Love יהוה [YAHUAH] with all your heart, mind, being, and strength, and Love your neighbor as yourself.
2. Obedience to the commands of YAH and the teachings of the True Messiah of Israel יהושה [Yahushuah]
3. Belief in the Messiah of Israel, the One Who was dead and is now alive again, His Name יהושה [Yahushuah]. He has already died for our sins; therefore, we must believe that He is the true Messiah and was sent by יהוה [YAHUAH] Elohim.
4. The Ram's Horn: A Shofar to be blown when you pray, at the times of battle.
Do research and study to find the truth of the belief as has been set forth in Scriptures. Check yourselves in obedience to His Word. Are you observing the true Sabbath (7th day) for your day of worship in keeping with the 10 commands (Ex.20; Ex. 31:12-18; Is. 66:23)?
Call on the True Hebrew Name of Elohim: YAHUAH (Father) and YAHUSHUAH (Son). Call on HisTrue Name, show belief in the Name of Elohim, and the Spirit of Truth is with you. If you believe in the Messiah Yahushuah and walk in obedience and love, you will be able to endure the trials and tribulations that overcome the world, because Yahushuah has already overcome the world.

This battle lesson can be for a set day of spiritual warfare or for a daily life of survival. The battle is between Elohim and the devil over our souls. We are the battleground. Seek first the Sovereignty of Elohim and His Righteousness, then all else will be added to you. You must seek (search out the truth) to find the Kingdom (His Sovereignty)! Since we are the battleground, we must give edge to the Messengers of Light by seeking the ways of Yahushuah, Who is the ‘Light Who has come into the world.’ He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. When we seek the Messiah and follow Him wholeheartedly, then we are defeating the messengers of darkness and strengthening the messengers of Light in the spiritual (or invisible) realm. Our sins are forgiven, and we live!
The Messenger of Darkness, the Devil (Beliyal), believes that he has the right to harm us because of the word: ‘the being who sins shall die.’ (Yehezqel/Ezekiel 18:20) If a man sins and does wrong, he will die, but if he turns from all his sins which he has done (repentance) and guards the Laws of Elohim to do right-ruling and righteousness, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
To receive atonement for our sins--for all have sinned and fallen short--we must first repent and accept the blood sacrifice for our sins through belief in Yahushuah. Know in your heart that when you cry out to YAHUSHUAH for forgiveness after turning away from wrongdoing, He will forgive your sins.
Fight through the trials, the oppressions of the devil, by knowing that you are forgiven. Call on the Name of Yahushuah aloud and call on His blood that has redeemed you. Your words will go forth in the spiritual realm, and the devil will hear and be destroyed by the hearing of the Messiah's Name Yahushuah! Strengthen your belief! Stand firm in obedience to the Commands of Elohim! You will overcome the devil because your belief is the ammunition that annihilates the forces of evil. You must walk by belief and not by what you see!
Living a righteous lifestyle by belief in Yahushuah & obedience to Torah and praising YAH with your lips for His lovingkindness will destroy the works (oppressions) of the devil in your life. HalleluYAH!
The devil seizes any opportunity to destroy the people, especially believers, through curses or illnesses or whatever. Bad dreams can also be a way the devil sends curses, therefore cast down all bad dreams in the Name of Yahushuah.
*Nullify any negative words spoken or written against you or your family immediately, before their faces when possible, by saying “In the Name of Yahushuah, I cancel all negative words or thoughts against me or my loved ones!” Do all in the Name of Yahushuah. Pray day and night, everyday.
Battle Hymn: “Give thanks to יהוה [YAHUAH], for He is good! For His Loving kindness is everlasting.”
This is repeated many times over during the course of the day.
In the day of battle, we must endure by fasting, praying, and singing the battle hymn in the Name of Yahushuah.
SIGNAL TO STOP!
In a time frame known only by YAH, He stops the battle. The battle is over when endurance is complete and we have overcome, or when one can no longer endure. Remember: YAH does not give us more than we can bear. Therefore, we must stand strong in belief and NOT give in to the devil's oppressions.
When YAH gives the signal to stop, then the battle is over. We win only if we have endured to the end. Therefore, never lose faith and never doubt. Do not give up in the fight! YAH will battle for us as long as we believe and keep His commands, knowing that whenever we repent of our sins, we will be forgiven. YAH always wins, and He rewards us according to our endurance. Yahushuah has already defeated death, and we defeat death out of our lives by believing in Yahushuah and enduring to the end. If we fight and endure to the end, the angel of darkness will throw in his shoe, giving up his right to our lives. The Messenger of Light triumphs, giving us life everlasting because we believe in the Redeeming blood of Yahushuah, repented from our sins, and endured many trials. The result of the battle: we have the deliverance, and we become an overcomer! HALLELUYAH!
