Episode 16: The Enemies of God

ABOUT THE EPISODE

God has enemies. His enemies are our enemies. Many times, we feel like attacks from the enemy are against us alone. Discerned properly, we will filter his accusations through the reality of our “WE-dentity”. (From Episode 15: The Force Be with You).

David had this understanding when he went out to battle against Goliath. David came in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel. He went on to say, “the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.” (1 Sam. 17:45-47)

A few passages that address “The battle belongs to the Lord” are:

Num 32:21 - …and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven His enemies out from before Him
Psalm 68:1, 12 - Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee before Him; Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies, The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.
Isaiah 42:13 - The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.
Heb 10:13 - …waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.

Vengeance belongs to the Lord:

Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord - Heb 10:30, Rom 12:19, Deut 32:35
Nahum 1:2 - A jealous and avenging God is the Lord; The Lord is avenging and wrathful. The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries, And He serves wrath for His enemies.
Isaiah 59:18 - According to their deeds, so He will repay, Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies, To the coastlands He will make recompense.

Jesus triumphed over God’s enemies

Col 2:15 - When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.
Death - 1 Cor 15:25-26 - For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

When you feel the enemy coming up against you:

Take that accusation to Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. Ask what do you have to say about this? (He will silence the accusing voices by the Blood of the Lamb. He will show you who the enemies are.)
Ask the Lord: What do You want to do about it? Do you want me to do something?
Is it time to move on what you are showing me?
Remember this is about God’s Kingdom, not just about you.

Watch for 10 days. Like the 10 days of awe. You will see shock and awe. (11/18/2021) Shock and awe (technically known as rapid dominance) is a tactic based on the use of overwhelming power and spectacular displays of force to paralyze the enemy’s perception of the battlefield and destroy their will to fight . (Wikipedia) God loves to shock and awe the enemy. The greatest example of this is the Resurrection. “He cancelled out every legal violation!” (Col. 2:13-14). He made a public spectacle of the enemy!

Out with the Trash! (Season 1, Episode 29) 17:34

منذ 2 years17:34

17:34

Moving into a new season requires letting go of some things. We can prepare ourselves to advance into what God is doing now by removing obsolete items from the past. Listen in to hear how there’s a time to fill up the garbage bin and take out the trash! Sign up for emails at: www.watchmenarise.com . Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 29: Out with the Trash! ABOUT THE EPISODE Transitioning into a new season is an interesting process. If we are not careful, we will carry obsolete junk from the past into our new place of occupation. God is up to something. It’s a new thing. It requires fresh perspectives, free of the filters of past expectations. He wants our focused attention. Oftentimes, the old treasures become distractions as we enter into the new. There is a process called separation unto increase. The premise is once we separate from the old, we are free to increase into the new. A seed has to fall into the ground and die before life can come forth. Jesus lived and died. His increase through His resurrection is realized by us today. We are in a global course correction. God is using the shifts in our society and homes to move us into maturity. This maturation process requires a separation from the old. We see this in our children – from womb to birth, and age to age of growth. He is doing the same with us today. What is occupying your time? Are you holding onto things from the past? Are your expectations in line with what God is doing now? Do you shuffle old trinkets, papers, cassettes, etc. from one place to another? Do you enjoy that they are in your possession? Do you look at that pile of old stuff and think “I really should deal with that!” yet procrastinate. All these things are time stealers! Its time to review what we hold onto. Look around. Look within. Are there any things that need to go in the garbage bin?

Reset Whether You Want To or Not! Part 2 (Season 1, Episode 27) 22:57

منذ 2 years22:57

22:57

When God calls for a reset, you’ve got to be able to see beyond where you are. If not careful, we will let our past hinder us from moving into the future. You don’t have to drag your past with you! Listen in to hear how God has given us an anointed forgetter that will allow us to move into what he is doing NOW. Recorded at The Gathering Church in Moravian Falls, NC. Sign up for emails at: www.watchmenarise.com . Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 27: Reset Part 2 ABOUT THE EPISODE Can you see beyond where you’ve been and enter into the new “reset” season? Reset defined: “set again or differently” (Oxford). If we are not careful, we may try to hang on to last season’s victories and defeats. If we do, we may not step into the new/“neos”/never existed before things the Lord has for us. God has reset moments set into His calendar. They are the feasts (Rosh Hashanah, Passover, Tabernacles, etc.) and the head of each Hebrew month. He is a God of opportunities for do-overs! The enemy does not want you to know that. He will try to throw off God’s eternal time gates, known as times and seasons, by interjecting his own agenda. The result is we get stuck out of sync with what Father is doing. Reset based on what is, not what was, will be fruitful. Don’t hang on to the past, whether its victories or hurts. If we do, we will find ourselves stuck in a time that doesn’t exist anymore. It’s a mere shadow. There is no way to step back into that time and do it over. The past does not exist! You are free to dismiss mental replays of scenarios of conversations that will never happen! Stop using your mental energy on those things and move into what God is doing now in your life. Scriptures: Isaiah 43:18-20 – Behold I AM doing a new thing… 2 Cor. 5:17 – You are a new creation!

As believers in Christ Jesus, we have a responsibility to disciple nations.

This passage states that: We are called to signs, wonders, and miracles, not a lifeless walk with God. Go…preach… Believe in My Name… cast out demons, speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink anything deadly, heal the sick. It is believers’ responsibility to help disciple nations. (Matthew 28:16-20). We can do this as citizens of the Kingdom. In our “dual citizenship” we have the right to disciple citizens of the Kingdom and citizens of our nations. (Col. 1:13; John 18:36, Acts 16:37-8; 22:25; 23:27; 25:10; 26:32). Paul served as an apostle of the Kingdom and he was a Roman citizen, too. We have a call to bring Christ’s Kingdom to His inherited nations (Ps. 2:6-8) Ps. 22:27-28 “All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is the LORD’S, And He rules over the nations.” The nations in eternity; training now for future work (Rev. 22:1-3 “Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him;”) Ps. 82: 1-8, vs 8 “Arise, O God, judge the earth!

This most often has to do with business. Idolatry is the worship of strange gods. This includes offering sacrifices to demons and forgetting God their creator. Mammon is wealth regarded as an evil influence. A false object of worship and devotion. 1 Tim. 6:9-10. God has a better plan than walking the enemy! He wants us to: Walk in our God given power to create wealth. Understand that wealth, free from the spirit of mammon is a blessing. Use our talents wisely to create profit with trade and return on our investments. Drinking deadly things has nothing to do with a poisonous drink. There are deadly things that we encounter in our culture every day. We need to be aware of those things and become part of the solution. Are you willing to partner with God to clean it all out?

Out with the Serpents! (Season 1, Episode 22) 21:30

منذ 2 years21:30

Taking up a nation’s serpents and deadly things was not a foreign concept to the disciples. Most likely they remembered God’s method for addressing injustice in a nation through Moses’ life. Listen in to hear how we can declare “Out with the serpents!” Sign up for emails at: www.watchmenarise.com . Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 22: Out with the Serpents! ABOUT THE EPISODE In Mark 16:15-18, we are told to by Jesus to “God into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation…These signs will follow…they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them...” What does this mean in the context of discipling nations? How do we do this? Here are a few problems with how the passage may be interpreted: This “sign” is perceived as a literal order to pick up serpents. (Some denominations actually bring snakes to church!) We think of Paul in Acts 28:3-5 and figure if we get bit by a serpent, we just shake it off. (It had to do with the culture’s belief system) We are clueless as to what this means so we avoid this “sign” altogether. Moses was given powers by the Lord to deal with the serpents of Egypt. His rod of authority/his staff became a serpent when he threw it on the ground. He grabbed the tail and it turned back to a rod. This power was used to demonstrate God’s supernatural equipping of Moses. This power revealed that God’s power was greater that Pharaoh’s governing structure. We must understand that God created government for protection. Justice carried out by laws, penalties and impartial judges is necessary to take up serpents in that nation. Why? Because those people who are doing those things are controlled by those serpents. Moral decay happens when those who are governing do so without higher moral law. In the case of centralized power wielded by a few, corruption has easy access to manifest. Another case is if the majority of the people in a democratic society are without higher moral standards, tyranny or mob rule can manifest as well.

Are you ready to speak God’s language that has the power to transform culture? Speaking in new tongues is part of The Great Commission. The question is: How does this command effect our communities?

Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 21: They Will Speak in New Tongues ABOUT THE EPISODE Speaking in new tongues is part of The Great Commission. Christians are used by God as effective communicators of a message quite different from the world’s expression of culture. Speaking in new tongues is a language of liberty. The new language was given to the Body of Christ to liberate nations. When God’s truths are declared by the Body of Christ into the culture, people are united to do good and the forces of evil at work in the marketplace of ideas are defeated. Liberty/Freedom: A quality or state of being free (Merriam-Webster). We must teach the next generation the language of liberty. This is parent’s responsibility. Nowhere in the Bible is educational responsibility given to the civil government. Citizen education is important, too. We must teach American values to our citizens. This includes immigrants. If not taught, a corruption of customs will happen. The corruption of customs is directly linked with the false narrative of freedom. Without citizen education, people will move into “they did what was right in their own eyes.” (Judges) ABOUT RICHARD & KIMBERLY WILSON Richard and Kimberly Wilson, Executive Directors of Watchmen Arise International serve as corporate trainers of societal transforming Christians.

One essential handover has to take place between the older generation and the younger generation—through public education. The other essential handover has to take place between those who have been in America longer, for few Americans are true natives, and those who are new arrivals—as part of the process of immigration and integration. – Os Guinness, A Free People’s Suicide CONNECT WITH US To support Occupying Force podcast give to Watchmen Arise International today.…

We know our cities need spiritual transformation and civil reformation. One way we can be part of this happening is through targeted intercession focused on discipling your city.

Show notes: Episode 20: 7 Prayer Targets for City Transformation ABOUT THE EPISODE In Episode 19: Casting Out a Nation’s Demons, we talked about our call to cast out corruption and deep-rooted sin in our cities. Several areas should be targeted that will change the worldview of citizens and hence change culture. Let’s pray that the following areas are grasped and nurtured for the citizens in our towns: Revival of First Love Love God, love your neighbor. He first loved us. Our rights are given by the One who loves us, not by the government. In His first love He gave us laws to live by for our good. He created us to grow in understanding and responsibility. Food, reason, will, self-care Family, village, state, kingdom Identity Awakening to jurisdiction of self-government Taking personal responsibility Empowerment to be a productive member of society Internal government – man’s ability to govern his thoughts, attitudes, motives External government – home, faith community, schools How these function in a community reflects the population’s level of self-government Education Ignorance is not bliss. Uneducated people can quickly become enslaved. Abraham Lincoln, “The philosophy of the schools in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” Biblical worldview – moral and principled education Correct history, Constitution Moral Compass Understanding of right from wrong Loss of Biblical principles and virtues. People of virtue respect and obey the law. Lack of character results in immorality, corrupt laws, poor economy, Citizen’s Rights Ownership of internal property – ideas, thoughts, talents, opinions Ownership of external property – land, estates, freedom of speech, bodily health, freedom of assembly No unjust taxation, unemployment Volunteers People will volunteer freely in the day of Thy power – Ps. 110:3 Community collaboration Apostles and prophets in the community Unity Cooperation, not competition Balanced unity not forced which is Communism.

Casting Out a Nation’s Demons (Season 1, Episode 19) 19:22

Have you ever wondered what a transformed community would look like? What if all demonic activity vanished from your city? It would be amazing, wouldn’t it? You would have peace in the streets, a spirit of unity, people would prosper, crime would be gone. When Jesus told the disciples to cast demons out in His name this included communities as well. Listen in to hear how you can be involved in societal transformation by casting out demons in your land. Sign up for emails at: www.watchmenarise.com . Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 19: Casting Out a Nation’s Demons ABOUT THE EPISODE In Episode 18: The Lamb’s Inheritance, we talked about Jesus’ Great Commission in Mark 16:15-17 and Matthew 28:18-20 in light of discipling nations. Many see this as a one-by-one process; however, Jesus is talking nations here. Most of the church does not see our role to disciple nations. We often limit our measure of success to what happens in our church buildings. Too often today, the measurement of church success is numerical growth, construction of new buildings. Accomplishment is measured by the amount of activities and events that fill the calendars even though these rarely relate to transforming culture. However, Jesus and all the Apostles would have been criticized as failures by these criteria! Societal transformation does not always happen because of revival. For example, revivals from the past few decades did not produce regional transformation (for example: Lakeland, Brownsville, Toronto). Many individuals had life changing transformations; however, we do not see lasting change in the regions where revival took place. We must understand that Kingdom growth beyond the four walls of the church was a mandate given to us in the Great Commission. In Mark 16, after instructing the church to preach to all creatures and “make disciples of all nations,” the first criteria that Jesus describes for evaluating the effectiveness in this mission is that signs like “casting out of demons” would be evident. This is overcoming cultural sin and oppression. Here’s what we can do to begin the “casting out demons” process in our cities: Prayer and Prophetic Proclamation A church can measure its success by effectively dealing with the spiritual forces of darkness that are oppressing not just individuals, but people groups and culture. Tearing down strongholds (2 Cor 10:3-6) We do not wrestle against flesh and blood… (Eph 6) Grace for Unity Amongst the Believers Territorial demons are not cast out in the same manner as individual demons. They are more powerful and entrenched in culture. It takes unified, informed intercession with other churches in a region to see territorial darkness pushed back and breakthroughs come. Unless we recognize the need for unity in the regional church, we will not see the “signs” follow us of casting out the nation’s demons.…

Jesus has a management strategy for His inheritance, the nations. As part of His authorized team upon the earth, we have a job to do! Tune in to hear Jesus’ pep talk (also known as The Great Commission). He breathed purpose and power into His new occupying force on the earth and still does today. It's time to disciple and transform nations. Sign up for emails at: www.watchmenarise.com . Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 18: The Lamb’s Inheritance ABOUT THE EPISODE In Episode 17: The Lamb’s War , we talked about Psalm 2:8. It states that the nations are the Son’s inheritance and the earth His possession. Considering this passage, it is important to understand what Jesus inherited: Nation in Hebrew is “goy” meaning a nation or people, body (Str. G1471 and G1465). The earth is “erets” which is land, whole earth, country, territory. (Str. G776) These passages are directly related to The Great Commission: Matthew 28:18-20 – And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Mark 16:15 – Jesus instructs the disciples, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” There are two key words in these passages that are often overlooked: “…all nations…” ethnos in Greek. A multitude associate with living together, a company, troop or swarm. The human race, nation, people group “…all the world…” – kosmos in Greek. Here are a few of its definitions: A harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government. The arrangement of the stars as the ornament of the heavens. The world, universe; the earth The inhabitants of the earth, men, the human race. Who do you say that I am? Is about the revelation of the Psalm 2:8 prophecy coming to pass. Let’s look at Mark 16:15-18 from the perspective of discipling ethos : Cast out a nation’s demons Speak the nation’s new tongues Take up the nation’s serpents Drink the nation’s deadly things Lay hands on the nation’s sickness ABOUT RICHARD & KIMBERLY WILSON Richard and Kimberly Wilson, Executive Directors of Watchmen Arise International serve as corporate trainers of societal transforming Christians.

The Lamb’s War (Season 1, Episode 17) 24:09

Too many Christians have made spiritual warfare about their enemy rather than God's. The result is worry, anxiety and stress. When we pay more attention to what God's enemy is doing, rather than what God is doing, our wrong focus will bring wrong interpretation. Listen in to hear how you can rest easy that Jesus, the Lamb of God, has this war covered. Sign up for emails at: www.watchmenarise.com . Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 17: The Lamb’s War ABOUT THE EPISODE Psalm 2 gives us a tremendous picture of the battle between the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness. About 60% of this psalm is quoted in the New Testament. There is a reason for this. Verse by verse the story of the the Lamb’s war is painted for us. When understood, we will rest in the revelation that the Father has plans to deal with the contention of nations. There are four different perspectives presented in the 12 verses of Psalm 2. The Voice of the Nations (v. 1-3) Contention between the Gentile, non-God fearing nations and those who follow Elohim has been going on since then. God divided the nations at Babel. The Voice of the Father (v. 4-6) God’s seat of authority is sure. Psalm 21:7-13 reveals the plan of the Father The Father has an eternal solution in His Son. The Voice of the Son (v. 7-9) The Father in heaven begot the Son Ps 2:7 Begot means to father, Acts 13:30-33, Heb. 1:5,5:5 The nations are the Son's inheritance and the eretz as a possession Ps 2:8 The Lamb's war Ps 2:9, Rev 2:26,27, Rev 6:15-16 The Voice of the Spirit (v. 10-12) Be wise and be instructed Ps 2:10 Instructed = discipline, instruction Worship the Lord/Rejoice with trembling (Ps. 2:11) Kiss (nashaq) the Son Ps 2:12 Kindle to burn, prepare, be equipped w/ Take refuge in Him! Ps 2:12 This is where the blessing is! Recognizing that God has got this, we trust and stand with Him in this now manifestation of the destroying of His enemies. From our study in Psalm 2, as intercessors we are given a clear picture of the enemy's manifesto and God's solution.

Ever feel like you are under attack from the enemy? Have you ever thought that this enemy is God’s enemies, too? When accusations come, the enemy's words are not about you alone. He is accusing God Almighty in you, too! Listen in to hear how to navigate through attacks from this viewpoint. Gain God's perspective of the battle you are in. Sign up for emails at: www.watchmenarise.com . Purchase your copy of Preparing for Battle: Developing the Lifestyle of a Victorious Prayer Warrior on Amazon.com. Show notes: Episode 16: The Enemies of God ABOUT THE EPISODE God has enemies. His enemies are our enemies. Many times, we feel like attacks from the enemy are against us alone. Discerned properly, we will filter his accusations through the reality of our “WE-dentity”. (From Episode 15: The Force Be with You). David had this understanding when he went out to battle against Goliath. David came in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel. He went on to say, “the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.” (1 Sam. 17:45-47) A few passages that address “The battle belongs to the Lord” are: Num 32:21 - …and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven His enemies out from before Him Psalm 68:1, 12 - Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee before Him; Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies, The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds. Isaiah 42:13 - The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies. Heb 10:13 - …waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. Vengeance belongs to the Lord: Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord - Heb 10:30, Rom 12:19, Deut 32:35 Nahum 1:2 - A jealous and avenging God is the Lord; The Lord is avenging and wrathful. The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries, And He serves wrath for His enemies. Isaiah 59:18 - According to their deeds, so He will repay, Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies, To the coastlands He will make recompense. Jesus triumphed over God’s enemies Col 2:15 - When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Death - 1 Cor 15:25-26 - For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. When you feel the enemy coming up against you: Take that accusation to Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. Ask what do you have to say about this? (He will silence the accusing voices by the Blood of the Lamb. He will show you who the enemies are.) Ask the Lord: What do You want to do about it? Do you want me to do something? Is it time to move on what you are showing me? Remember this is about God’s Kingdom, not just about you.…
