THE ART OF WAR AND WHO IS IN CONTROL

THE ART OF WAR AND WHO IS IN CONTROL:LET GOD FIGHT OUR BATTLES WHETHER IT IS WITH ANOTHER NATION, A PERSON, OR SELF.

It is with great sadness that we cannot or choose not to believe that our God has His world under control and wants the best for us. But man has a way of putting a wrench in the mix of God’s work. He thinks that when it is not going fast enough or the way he thinks it should, he must step in and try to initiate, fix, or reconfigure on the things YHWH, God, through our Lord Yashuah, Jesus, has created, is doing, and put in place. And even the things which God allows to continue, to come to be or not to be man try and alter. It is with this determination, of man, to play gods themselves, that today we see the unrest of so many countries; our beautiful world in which God alone, created. But because of man’s greed, selfishness, and ignorance, war has become an ongoing thing, a way of life; a way to destroy life and cause man’s own self-destruction. (Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things), (Ecclesiastes 8:9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt). (Please read Revelation 11,18 it references the coming of the wrath of God against all those who have mistreated and pronounced an unrighteous judgment against His servants).

Yes, in the past, war was always on the horizon for one reason or another, but most were but a thought; worked out through man’s humanistic nature. But now, at the drop of a hat and out of greed and vying for control, it is inevitable. When taking into consideration all that has happened in past decade, we see that the main reason that there is so much confusion and animosity between the countries of the world, is due mainly to the fact that they have taken YHWH, God out of their equation of life; how to guide themselves much less than a nation. Now they find themselves with the inability to deal with or understand the complicated mess that has been created which no one is taking responsibility for their misuse of the power God entrusted them with. This really doesn’t matter because YHWH God, is holding them unaccountable for every act of anger and hate committed toward His servants and the world He created, and man will receive his punishment for such. Yes, it has always been some skirmish or another but not like today; now everywhere you turn some countries are at war or threatening to go to war. And the leaders are proving themselves to be spoiled children, fighting over toys or the grandeur of their own imagination. So, now, everywhere you look, there is a war going on or about to happen. These are unnecessary acts, causing all nations to experience extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain, especially the innocent people; especially the children. (Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth).

Every move man seems to make these days, is attached to the mighty dollar. If it does not have a price affixed to it, it is not worth the effort.  So, he engages, over and over, in one of the largest big-ticket items there is, which makes lots of money, the wars of this world. They are money makers and life takers.  They make money for the ones that have money already, ensuring a lifestyle of luxury and no wants (when it comes to material things) even though most miss out on the most important thing (a close relationship with God and their fellow man). Yet they take the money from the poor to finance their efforts, leaving the less fortunate with a heavy burden to bear; fighting and supporting a cause they did not ask for. And this is the life-destroying gist of it all, that without our permission, we are being used to coddle another man’s (men) ego (s); giving them the false impression of greatness. (2 Timothy 3:2-5 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away).

But God has a plan. And if we, as His children) pray, praise, and prostrate ourselves before Him, everything will work out according to His plan for our lives. (Romans 8:28 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). Not because we willed it to be but because God said it would be so. In bringing this revelation to pass we must show ourselves approved for our commitment to Father, God through the study of His Word, to stay in His Will, and walk in His Way. Because if you don’t know how you will not know why, when, or where; why there are wars and rumors of wars; when and how strategically they are planned, by God, to take place along His timeline; the locations they are to develop in and play out. Only in His word will we be able to decern these truths. (2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth). Then we will see that His plan is to weed out all the faithful, loyal, and loving from the unfaithful and disobedient; all the while giving them a chance, even in war, to lay down their armor, recall their armed forces, and come to Him. He is calling all of us to set around the table of peace and offer an olive branch and a hand of love, not hate, to the ones we call our enemies; really, in the eyes of our Father, they are our sisters and brothers. So, every person, of every nation, should stop and take a good look around and listen to the still small voice of our LORD. He is crying out to us in every event that He allows to happen, even the ones with destruction and death, telling us to come to Him in time of our troubled minds and hearts and He will guide, and give us rest and peace. (Matthew 11:28-30 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”)

War is war, whether it is in a foreign land, your household or in your soul only God can cause the rest we seek. You see, there is no need to fight battles that are not yours, whether you are a nation, an individual or yourself. Because what God has promised, He will supply, and He will take care of your enemies. (Joshua 21:43-45 43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. 44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand). 45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
