"God anointed wit...That is exactly my point! "God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with great power; [so that] He went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him." Jesus fought evil in the world through the supernatural power of God. It was through prayer and intercession, and the Holy Spirit that He was able to cast out demons, heal the sick, and affect the culture and society around Him. That is how we, as Christians, can affect the "worldly" institutions of abortion and political and social corruption, etc. If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you will find the supernatural and spiritual warfare are a constant theme of mine. But what I have discerned from the NAR movement is that they look to these new prophets and apostles to bring "human power" to change the culture.... I absolutely believe that Christians can and should try to change the culture; but we must be careful to understand that it is through the power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit (not ourselves or our abilities) that we will be effective.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-72816762841071736452016-09-16T22:05:31.544-05:002016-09-16T22:05:31.544-05:00Ephesians 6:12 tells us what the struggles are and...Ephesians 6:12 tells us what the struggles are and who we are up against. Surely we can discern that there are influences in our schools and in our government that we are to pray against. No, we are not of this world, but we are to recognize evil in the abortion industry, the removal of all comments of God in schools and military. If we do not make a stand for our country, revival can never come. There are spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm and demonic influences that come in through evil people trying to bring Satan into our realm. Our Lord even talked about this. He also cast out demons. Are they all gone. If there are demonic influences then surely there is something supernatural in our world. Who is Lucifer? A heavenly being trying to usurp God's power. I'm not of the apostolic movement, I don't have the calling. But there is something to be said for people willing to fight against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm who desire to kill and conquer God's people. I don't have the answers but I know that only through prayer and repentance will God intervene in our struggles. America has been blessed but the Christians in the Middle East are being beheaded, burned alive, drowned, tortured and killed for their belief. The demonic nature of these killings go beyond just a theocratic cult. It is demonic and evil. Our world is supernatural. Our Lord is supernatural, and the Holy Spirit is supernatural.
