Spiritual Warfare & The Battle For Truth

Spiritual Warfare & The Battle For Truth

Rev. M.D.Rogers

Proverbs 4:23-27  Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.  Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you.  Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you.  Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.  Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.

Determination is the inner fortitude and strength of character – being disciplined to remain consistent, strong and diligent regardless of the odds or the demands.  It is the act of deciding definitely and firmly, or coming to a resolve.  Determination is acting in faith when we temporarily lose sight of where we are going.

Isaiah 59:14  Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 

In this study I want to begin talking about "The Weapon of Truth."  Truth is one of the most powerful weapons we possess in the spiritual arsenal God has given to us to deal with the enemy.  Unfortunately truth has fallen in the streets and has been replaced by the lies of the devil.  It is time for God's people to arise with the weapon of truth and to go forth in the power of His Spirit pleading for truth.

We live in a culture and an era that is inundated with falsehood and lies.  Not many are pleading for truth and those who do are mocked and ridiculed as being extremists in a politically correct society that is based on falsehood and lies.

Even in the church, those who stand for a strong adherence to Biblically sound doctrine are ridiculed and labeled as legalists, who are not flowing with the Spirit.

As a result we have provided the perfect environment for Satan's power and deception to rule in the lives of people everywhere.  Satan's power and antichrist spirit is being unleashed today as never before.  The absence of truth has given him a strong foothold and place to stand to oppose and exalt him above all that is called God.

The Bible is full of Scriptures that speak of the strong deception that shall come upon the world in the last days that shall even cause many to depart from the faith.
