Secrets of the Unseen

There are many weapons formed against us the scripture says, but Isaiah the prophet reminds us that none of them shall prosper , because they are going to fail to kill those who are His servants and that is the inheritance of all who truly serve God, by obeying His truth at all times.

Satan is out there with deadly spiritual weapons directed at us daily, yet the Lord has given us the assurance of our victory by staying in His truth at all times, even when we are least aware of them in the natural. He the Spirit of the Lordsees the unset of this weapons being formed in the dark.

Unforgiveness is the number one Hidden weapon aimed to kill and destroy us spiritually and in the end to penetrate in our lives even to destroy us physically

Many of us are worried and anxious for so many things and many are hurting, because their natural circumstances have threatened them. But few of us are aware of the real issues behind our natural predicaments of life.

We all seldom forget that we have an unseen enemy fighting against us in the supernatural realm and that is why we always see the natural circumstances in our lives as the final truth.

But Jesus Christ came to save us from all the supernatural forces of the enemy in the heavenly and secret places. He sees that man’s bondage is in deeper places than just in the natural realm.

Jesus a sinless Savior saw the super natural better than any one of us, that is why He said in His words the enemy is coming, but he has nothing in me. Why? Because He knew that our biggest victories are won in the spirit, through His sinless perfection and our reliance on His High Priestly intercession on our behalf, when we absolutely trust His word.

We all of sudden encounter a heaviness that we could not explain it away. Everything seems very dark and heavy. The voices in our ears are magnified and our hearts are stricken by arrows that are shut at us in the secret and we wonder what is going on?

Here is where our Lord seeing the supernatural realm could help us discover the truth about our condition and receive healing in the matter of few minutes, if we are willing and able bear under the truth spoken to us in His word.

Today many in the western world, especially in the Church are under the silent attack of the enemy and do not know it, so that they could counter attack it on its initial onslaught. Depression is the number one problem in the United States and that even in the Church. Why?  Jesus being the only one who was sinless was able to see this enemy eye to eye and was able to fight this enemy through His truth spoken from His mouth.

He saw the problem of men is sin, and by seeing this heavenly truth He declared a great remedy to it and that was the repentance from it in turning from it to God. He also saw the cause of this being the rebellion of Adam.  He in becoming in the form of man came to free us from its deadly sting. The Lord in dying a righteous death overcame death on our behalf and became the author and finisher of our salvation.

He declared a just punishment of sin by His own death and in doing so forgave all mankind who would accept His own death as the appropriation of our sins. Leaving us a great commission to go and peach this gospel of peace through forgiveness to all.

For this reason He chooses the worst sinners and granted them forgiveness and grace, so that they would in exchange go and forgive others their sins and their trespasses. In doing this He answered the most difficult question of all mankind. He dealt with sin by forgiveness.

In Matthew chapter 18 Jesus spoke a parable in which He described a King trying to settle accounts with His servants and one who owed a large sum of money was brought to Him and he plead with the King for time and restitution, but the King completely forgave His debt, which required all his household including the members to be incarcerated to payoff this debt. The Bible says prior to king’s forgiveness he fell down to beg for pardon then he left the presence of the King. However the word says that Jesus continued saying after this man left the presence of the King on his way home he saw one of his debtors who owed him just a very small amount of money.

He grabbed His neck and was asking for repayment and that without any act of mercy. He showed no compassion on his servant when he was just coming from receiving such a great compassion for Himself and His household.

Then the parable says when the fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then the master, after he had called him, said to him you wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?

And the master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay that was due to him.

Now Jesus says the following to Peter and all who had previously asked Him how many times we should forgive our brothers when they sin against us? Jesus replied

“So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from the heart does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

This is exactly is why many of us are given sometimes into the hand of the torturers when we neglect this very truth.

Our Lord on the cross by His utterance of forgiveness set a standard before our eyes. A very High and lofty standard in which the entire plans of Satan was defeated. He forgiving those who crucified Him did set the standard of true freedom of soul for all of us.

In offering forgiveness as a measure of human judgment of sin Jesus set the highest form of redemption this side of heaven. Eternal abode of death was conquered by this heavenly weapon against the enemy of our soul.

But how often we are forgetting this heavenly secret. Satan being the author of this spiritual reality wants to set a trap on our path to shoot at us and enslave us all over again by offending us on every corner.

Sin of unforgiveness is laying at our door step every day and desires us, but by His grace we need to fight against its attack on our freedom. Jesus knowing this heavenly concept was forgiving sin all over the place.

The Pharisees were being convicted all around Him, because they did not attain this truth. Every time they saw Him forgiving the sinners they gnashed their teeth at Him saying. Who is this man who forgives the sin of these gross sinners? Exclaiming that God only can forgive sins.

Jesus Christ being God in the form of man was the one who only saw the secret of the unseen world and that is why he welcomed all sinners to Himself to offer them the eternal secret or the antidote of a violent enemy called Satan.

In forgiveness Jesus established a heavenly righteousness that defeats all the deadly traps of the enemy.

When the woman who anointed His head and cried over His feet was whipping her tears from His feet showed her love to Him, He was ridiculed by the religious, because they did not recognize Him in His deity and sovereignty of love.

He appearing to all who need His forgiveness is offering them His freedom from pain, oppression, and depression. Many are bound in not knowing the truth in love like the Samaritan woman, yet they are looking for it in many wrong places. In their husband’s love and acceptance or in their family member’s love and compassion, but only in His forgiveness complete freedom is offered to them. Many of us might have childhood memories that have never escaped our minds and are stored in our sub conscious minds tormenting us. We each might have people in our lives that we might have never released in our hearts, even after being born again Christians and that are why we often are tortured by tormenting thoughts.  People remain in deep negative circumstances, because they are not willing to let people go from their hearts. Many are even sick mentally or physically because of it and they do not know its spiritual harm.

Many are inflicted in the Body of Christ with many painful sores due to their lack of understanding of this secret weapon in the unseen world. Some say how can I forgive when the pain is so hard to take?

Forgetting what the Righteous savior did when they nailed Him to cross for what He did not commit or do. The righteous dying for the unrighteous.

The unbelieving who do not know Christ are bound by the chains and the pain of unforgiveness, since they were never offered this remedy by the Lord, but what about us? Sometime we might say I have forgiven so and so, but if seeing them or in rehearsal of a memory of them is still painful this could be sure sign of lack of heartfelt forgiveness for them. The denial of this truth’s can only hurt us more than anyone else in our lives.

Satan knowing God’s word very well comes and binds us through the legal right of access by using offences against us.

If Jesus reveals the acts of mercy shown to man by the parables spoken to His own, do you think Satan does not know these principals? Well Satan or his demons know very well how to have you and me imprisoned by our own violation of God’s standards. He too knows that if he sends us offences and if we keep to those offenses God the Father would hand us to the tormentors. Then it is not he who will punish us, but God the father, when we trespass this humongous law of righteousness. Just Like Balaam son of Beor who eventually entrapped Israel through own sin. No curse could penetrate the blood of the Lamb over Jacob, but their own willful neglect of God’s truth through sin can cause God to punish His own precious people. That is why the best remedy for healing from grief and depression is forgiveness.

This is why many after receiving the knowledge of salvation are still bound by the devils skims, because they are not willing to receive the Lord’s remedy for their sin.

We were saved by coming to the cross of Calvary and our sins were freely pardoned by His sacrifice, but this principal needs to be kept in our lives until the end, in order for us to live a healthy life before God and men all the days of our lives.

Another reason many cannot forgive is because they themselves do not see themselves as sinners and in need of forgiveness. They are not truly possessing the truth, that is why they cannot give others what they never received for themselves due to their own pride.

People who are fast to forgive they know a principal well,  that as soon as they forgive they too one day would be in need of the same grace being a human themselves.

When the first men after the fall, sons of Adam were bringing God their gifts one realized his need for God’s atoning power through the blood and the other one did not receive this truth from the heart. Able ‘s lamb spoke of his understanding of role of blood in forgiveness of sins, yet Cain’s offering of the fruit of the ground was the representation of his arrogance and lack of understanding of the principal of love through forgiveness.

The punishment also afflicted on Cain spoke of eternal wondering and spiritual death to all those who through pride see themselves better than others. In unforgiveness there remains a great amount of hidden arrogance that speaks of the UN changed character of the person.

Many times just a small act of love and forgiveness in mercy can vibrantly change the situations of some one’s spiritual and emotional well being.

In the unseen world forgiveness plays a very great role. Also by keeping unto to offences we are saying we are better judges than God who is the only true Judge. This is why this is also counted as usurping God’s authority’s role as the Judge of all men.

Having said this I now am saying we need to cry unto the heaven and ask the Judge of the souls of men to release us from this violation of His authority as God, and ask Him to help us through grace given to us through Christ to forgive all by His gift of enablement to do so.

To be honest with you the ability to forgive is the greatest test of one’s true salvation. If we cannot forgive people then we need to question our salvation. Or if we are still in faith as the Apostle says. Check to see if you are still in Faith?

God Bless us all by His great gift of salvation through forgiveness.
