Warfare of the Saints --Big Change of Plans--

There has been a major change of plans regarding the books, which will now be a book.

I decided not to continue writing the first and third book of what would have been the trilogy of Warfare of the Saints due to a few reasons:

-It is not my intention to rewrite the Bible, as the Holy Spirit gives understanding and knowledge into the wisdom of the Bible.

-I found no real purpose for writing the first book, since it would have to connect with the second somehow.


-The third book was canceled because I did not wish to write about something that another servant of the Lord has already written about (referring to the Left Behind series that deal with the facts since the Rapture of the Church until our eternity in heaven, or the Christ Clone Trilogy by James BeauSeigneur).

So I find myself right now writing what would have been the second and main book but that will now be the one and only book. I do hope you understand my decision and enjoy my book when it is done. It is my sole objective to have this book used by the Lord to reach for many more people and into his salvation.

These plans however, are not final, I have decided not to permanently cancel the trilogy project but to write the second book and take it from there, to see if the Lord really wants me to write all three or just the second or just the first and the second.

Hoping you will understand, I take my leave.

Affirm Your Heart

"You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him" (Luke 12: 40).

A while back I started reading the book series titled: "Left Behind" by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. It is a fiction series, based in what we find in the books of Daniel, Ezequiel and Revelation about the Great Tribulation. Everything converning the events after the Rapture of the church of Christ: we that have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior.

As I read these books I can see how the focus of the saints of the Tribulation changes dramatically. I can also see how the focus of the saints of the time of grace (us) is compared to the focus of the saints going through the Tribulation. We now focus in the material things, and the Lord is subject to empty and inconstant worship. For those who by putting their lives at stake will accept the Lord in the Great Tribulation the Lord will be EVERYTHING. Why? Because He gave them a second chance, because in His love he offered them life and hope and patience and faith through seven extremely harsh and cruel years. What about us? What does this have to do with us now?

We live in a world attached to a materialist world, we are not of this world, but we live in it. The problem lies in that we want to imitate this world, we don't want to be compromised to a life dedicated to the Lord.

For those of us who decide to give ourselves and deny ourselves: "For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him" (Phillipians 1:29).

In James we are told that we must rejoice when tests and tribulations come, how do we do that? Paul did it, he exhorted his churches to have joy, he praised the Lord when his feet were in shackles, when he was stoned almost to death and shipwrecked. In all his trials his praise grew and grew even more...and even he showed love and determination to his brothers:

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me" (Phillipians 1:21-26).

How are we living? The Lord is coming soon. Are we showing love and trying to win more people for Christ? those people with whom we laugh and with whom we share good times, the same people will they be the ones gnashing their teeth and begging for the cesation of their eternal suffering, or will they share with you the eternal greatness of the Lord? Let us affirm our hearts, where are we? whom do we serve? where does our loyalty lie?

Chapter 1
"In the Beginning"

The ages and times of the beginnings of this story are unknown, but battles rage daily between the *Holliards and the forsaken cursed race of the *Belliarhadus.It all started millions of years ago when the leader of the Belliarhadus, Lucifer, felled from the grace of his *Lord and King by seeking to replace Him and become king in His stead. He was the most favored of the King’s officials and everything in the kingdom was entrusted to his hands.“I have indeed gained the favor of my Lord and have become his most trusted official, but the time has come for me to take over!”The rebellious official inspired many of the soldiers and officials in the kingdom to “seek for a better ruling” and was actually successful in mustering one third of all of the kingdom’s hosts to his cause, even though his cause had no solid foundation but to overthrow Him who had given him all and beyond, Him who had bestowed grace upon grace and blessing upon blessing over him. It was indeed a greedy and evil cause that drove him to summon a massive retaliation against the Lord of lords and the King of kings.*Holliards: Referring to the people that have accepted the Lord’s gift and have received salvation and eternal life. These are in a constant fight against the devil but have the Lord’s strength always.* Belliarhadus: Referring to the devil and his demons.*Lord: Referring to our God and Lord.“I am Lucifer the morning star, and I have summoned you all in this place today to address an issue that is now very well known among you. The tyrant must be overthrown. The manipulator of our lives must step down or be killed! Think about your future. He has done nothing but to blind you from the perils of your allegiance to Him. He has made you live in a world of fantasy! Alas! Do you not see? Open thine eyes my fellow compatriots! Open thine souls and swear your allegiance to me! It is indeed not out of selfish pride or greed that I beg for your allegiance, but because I care about you. I am you! And you shall be me! I am greater than the King! *I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High!" *(Isaiah 14:13).“We will follow you to death, oh king Lucifer!”“Hail the king! Hail the great Lucifer!”And so in a thundering awe the host of soldiers and officials bowed low and paid homage to the risen infernal king that would soon be cast down to Earth.“My Lord and King”“I am aware of what has befallen my Kingdom, but heed my words now, oh faithful *Gabriel, summon *Michael to my presence.”*Gabriel: an archangel who is one of God’s most trusted messengers.*Michael: an archangel who is generally presented in the Bible as the field commander of the Army of God.“Right away my Lord.”And so Michael, the Kingdom’s armies Chief General was summoned to the Lord’s presence.“My wondrous and hallowed Lord, what is thy bidding?”“Surround Lucifer armies and seize him, you must bring him before Me unharmed. This rebellion shall be dealt with immediately!”And so the Chief General flew away and gathered his armies to march against Lucifer and seize him.“We have a new task to be done my brethren. It comes directly from the Lord.”As soon as everyone heard The Name they bowed down towards His throne and heeded Michael’s words.“The Righteous Judge has decreed an ultimatum against Lucifer, for as you might already know, he has already fallen from grace.”“What shall become of him my general?”“The Lord shall decide what his fate will be. For now we must set out and surround his army in the lands of *Sheolis, for he has escaped…but won’t escape the Lord’s just hand! Brethren! Unsheathe thine swords! Open thine wings and prepare for war!”*Sheolis: referring to Sheol. is the common destination of both the righteous and the unrighteous dead, as recounted in Ecclesiastes and Job.And so, Michael’s army set out in a mighty but silent and swift flight towards the now dark lands of Sheolis.“Great king! Michael approaches!”“Fear not my brave ones! We shall send him back with his wings in his mouth! Muster the armies! Set out! Forth Belliarhadus!”With the sound of the mighty war horn the now evil but still shining armies of Lucifer flew away to meet the armies of the King.“I shall raise a hand against you not, oh fallen Lucifer, I have been commanded to seize you and your evil armies to stand judgment before the Creator of heaven and earth! Stand down!”“The mighty archangel Michael…I know what you are here for, come and get me you coward! You are just a pitiful slave He calls “soldier” ha! What do you know about war? You have your share Michael, why don’t you give a soldier a break!? Go back to your harp!”“I shall not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against you, the Lord rebuke you!” (Jude 1:9)And saying this Michael lifted his sword and summoned the Lord’s help, and Lucifer fell down pale and weakened, but his armies retaliated against Michael’s armies, and were repressed but not killed, for they had to be brought to the Lord’s throne of judgment.Lucifer’ rebellion had been destroyed, and Lucifer now entered the most terrifying sight of his life. There were great peals of thunder, a sky darker than the night and a throne in the middle of the black clouds glorious as ever before, but terrifying of sight.Lucifer’ pride had been crushed. He now bowed his head low and dared not lift it up, he fell on his knees shaking wildly and without control, for a great fear now overtook his whole being.Then a thunder-like voice flashed throughout the Kingdom: “Lucifer! *The grave below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you— All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you!” *(Isaiah 14:9 and 11).“What had I not given over to you? What was not within your hands from my kingdom? What else did you craved for that was not within this place? What could you have possibly seen evil in that you lusted for!? This is my decree to you:*You are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: "Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble,the man who made the world a desert, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?"All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword, those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse trampled underfoot,you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people. The offspring of the wicked will never be mentioned again.” *(Isaiah 14: 15-20)“From now on thou shalt be called Satan, the father of all lies and the prince of the power of the air!”Immediately, the skies trembled and the foundations of the heavens were shaken at the power of thunders and darkness when Lucifer and his army, in their internal agony, started feeling something inside burning their bodies, and behold that as they inspected their bodies that dark flames came out from inside of them and started consuming them completely; their handsome features blotted away and their screams welcoming their new infernal voices and bodies. Lastly, their wings burned out and thus every single creature in the kingdom bowed their heads in shame for what had befallen Lucifer and his army. The infernal king had now an appearance of death and horror, and his position taken away from him as he adopted his new shape along with his army.Suddenly, the clouds beneath Lucifer and his army started fading away and they fell from the skies toward the Earth. The Lord Himself and His Kingdom watched in horror as Lucifer fell like a shooting star towards Earth:“How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” (Isaiah 14: 12).

Chapter 2
“The Prince Of The Power Of The Air”

The sinister king and his army falling on Earth looked like a rain of fire and blood. The Earth was ordered and full of life when Lucifer and his armies fell on Earth, destroying and disordering the whole Earth and making it hollow and infernal-like. Lucifer landed on Earth and looked upon the skies and cursed the Lord. Lucifer now contemplated his new appearance and the dejected hosts by his side. They were beginning to plot against Lucifer, but he realized their intentions and spoke to them again, not with his angelical and soft voice, but with his new harsh, raspy and demonic voice:“Heed my words now, oh brethren! It is clear that the Maker is not the just ruler we have always thought he is; he is a deceiver and thus has misled all in His Kingdom! I wanted this not! All I ever desired was to be greater than the Lord! And I am! And so will you!”“You deceived us Lucifer! The Lord was fair and dealt with your rebellion justly…there is no redemption now that we can reach again! We are condemned to the lake of fire! Because of you!”“Listen to me now you maggots! The Lord gave you to me! You are mine! And you shall go to the lake of fire with me! There is no escape from that now! Behold the Earth is ours!”But the Spirit of God came down to Earth and moved upon the face of the waters, forcing Lucifer to withdraw with his armies to a more remote place on Earth.*In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. *(Genesis 1: 1-3)And the light was great and holy, so Lucifer was forced to hide with his armies and wait upon the mercy of God, for he was greatly afraid again, but stubborn and willing to “foil” God’s Plan.*And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.And the evening and the morning were the third day.And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. *Genesis 1: 4-31.*Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. *Genesis 2: 1:17.Then the Lord realized that man was really alone, so he decided to create the animals and give them over to Adam so he could name all of them. But Adam’s longing for company was not fulfilled, and so the Lord had Adam fall into a really deep sleep, took one of his ribs and created woman.And thus God, the King, created man in His likeness and He walked with Adam around the garden as true friends, and lived in peace and harmony with all that was in the Earth.“You bring gladness to my heart Adam, behold I have set everything before you, everything in this world that you might be lord over it and fill it.”“Great honor is this my King, that you should consider me worthy of bestowing this amazing grace on me and my wife.”“I am the Lord of everything, but I shall appoint you lord of this earth. Everything is in your hands and you may eat from anything in this Earth but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for the day a single bite of that fruit enters thine mouth…thou shalt certainly die.”Lucifer addressed his army once more: “Listen to me you maggots! Behold that the Lord has created everything and has put man in charge of everything…well now, let us foil His plan now shall we? Let us reclaim Earth to ourselves! I shall demonstrate the Lord how weak these humans are!”

Chapter 3
Deceit: the fall of man and Earth’s doom

And so Lucifer transformed himself into a dreadful snake and surrounded the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve found herself walking in the garden alone.“Well, well, won’t you open thine eyes my child?”“To what should I open my eyes to?”“Has the Lord really told you not to eat from this tree? As always, he seeks to rob others of improvement! How selfish and childish of Him!”“What are you talking about? The Lord has given us everything but this tree, for he has strictly warned us that the day we eat from this tree we shall certainly perish.”Lucifer went down from the tree and now surrounded Eve’s body and talked to her with such a tempting and commanding voice:“Has he now? This is indeed rich! Thou shalt be like God! If you eat from this tree thou shall know good from evil and will develop your minds! Surely you won’t reject such power within your hands…think about your future…Eve…mother of nations…think about them and not really about yourself. Ye shall be a wise and beautiful ruler, the queen of the world at the side of your husband! Alas! Do you not see? The Lord does not want all this for you, he wants you to conform…but you don’t want to conform now do you?”Eve fell into some sort of spell that had focused her on achieving all these dreams, thus forsaking the Lord and accepting the lies Lucifer spoke to her about the King. Lucifer made Eve eat from the fruit of the forbidden tree, and as soon as she ate it she felt honey in her mouth but poison in her stomach.“Surely you shan’t keep this great revelation from your husband, why don’t you fetch him right away?”“Indeed I must.”And Eve went and called her husband and gave him from the fruit of the forbidden tree.“But the Lord has strictly forbidden us to eat from this tree.”“My lord, surely the great King wishes to deceive us and hinder us from many blessings, including knowledge of good and evil.”“But there is no evil in what the Lord’s hand has made, His creation is absolutely perfect.”“I have found in the tree a snake that is wiser than God himself.”“Mind your mouth woman! You shan’t speak in such manner against your Creator!”“Oh Adam, Adam, art thou really willing to reject such a gift from me?”“Who are you?”“I am the true God! Think about your family’s future and eat from this tree right away! Don’t be a fool Adam!”And thus Adam was cornered and finally gave in, knowing that what he was doing was wrong and that Satan was trying to deceive him as well. Adam saw his wife Eve and realized she was naked and likewise Eve saw her husband Adam and saw his nakedness and both of them felt shame for the first time and they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.Suddenly, the snake that deceived both Adam and Eve seemed to grow bigger and its appearance started to change. The snake started transforming, and as it did the skies grew red as blood and the infernal hosts arose from the ground and surrounded Adam and Eve, laughing and grinning diabolically.“Now, man “created in the likeness of God the King,” thou shalt surely die!”All of the infernal hosts surrounded the humans but left a circle in the middle in which Lucifer could walk and claim his “victory” over God’s creation.“I shalt rip thine hearts and feast on them! Thine souls are now mine!”It was indeed a horrifying sight to see Lucifer transformed so much. He was once an angel who resembled the beauty of God, now he was a monster and more than a monster someone whom no one would ever wish to encounter. Adam and Eve’s fear grew exceedingly great and could feel how the ground beneath them grew hotter and hotter and also how all the Earth was covered in flames. The flames were twenty foot tall and there was no light. A dense darkness that can be felt covered the face of the Earth. The Belliarhadus army had horrific faces and all you could see in them was grief, death, pain and suffering, a torture beyond a human’s bearing. Their foul and hot breath vexed Adam and Eve’s noses. Thousands of creeping Belliarhadus went after the humans and tried to fasten themselves to them. Death was everywhere, but there in the midst stood Satan, savoring his “victory” over God.“’Tis the end for you…Adam, son of God.”Lucifer’s hosts scrammed as they saw the heavens grow incredibly white and as they saw the flames diminish Lucifer commanded them to go back. Lucifer transformed himself back into the snake and roamed around seeking a hiding place, but finding none before the glorious light of the Lord God. The flames that had covered the Earth seemed to have had no effect on Earth whatsoever. What Adam and Eve saw was not from the human world, but from the spiritual world. Their eyes were now open to the beginning of the spiritual warfare that would take place on Earth until the return of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.The Lord himself had descended on Earth and sought for Adam. He already knew what had transpired.*Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" *Genesis 3: 8-11.The sight of the Lord in the garden was both terrifying and glorious. But Adam knew what he had done and so his heart sunk within himself and he refused to accept his responsibility. The skies grew dark and peals of thunder and grumbling answered the Lord’s wrath.*The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. *Genesis 3: 12.The Lord saw through Adam and he felt it. He felt a sharp double-edged sword piercing his heart and his mind. Adam bowed low with his face on the ground with shame.*Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." *Genesis 3: 13.Again, the Lord saw through Eve’s thoughts and as she felt his Sword piercing her heart and her mind, she joined her husband and bowed low without looking at the Lord.“It’s your fault Addy! You have already punished me Lord! I have nothing with You anymore!”-said Satan.*So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; * he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." *Genesis 3: 14-15. *Reference to the death of Christ and his victory over Satan forever in the cross.And the Lord also saw through Satan, and as He glanced at him, Satan fell on his knees screaming loud and with a great and horrifying exclamation of pain and suffering.“Stop it Lord! It burns! It burns! Curse you! Curse you Lord! Your Son will die! And don’t you dare bringing him back! I will summon my power and bring Him down!”The Lord took no heed of what Satan said, for He knew that the devil had no more power than that which He had given him to serve His purpose. Jesus Christ would die for our sins later on, but would rise and He did rose from the dead and so destroyed Satan forever.*To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." *Genesis 3: 16-19.The Lord’s judgment weighed tremendously great on man’s shoulders. *“The man has now become like one of *us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." *Genesis 3: 22. *The use of the word “us” refers to the Divine Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are not three different “gods” but they are one and the same.“Since you have rejected me, oh Adam, I shall ban your entrance to this garden and prevent you from reaching the tree of life, for I have certainly given free will to thee, but what you have done will greatly affect this world until I fulfill my Plan of Redemption for the world.”Suddenly cherubim came down from heaven and stood in the entrance of the Garden of Eden.“Thou have now fallen from grace. Thou must leave this place and come back to it no more.”The cherubim, terrifying in sight and wielding a sword expelled Adam and Eve from the garden. A flashing mighty sword stood in the entrance to the tree of life and guarded it.

Chapter 4
The king of the world

After Adam came out of the garden, Satan met him in their wandering, summoning to himself the same infernal background he had used before.“I cannot kill you, but the world now belongs to me. Hand over the keys of this world.”“But, the Lord entrusted me every single creature in this world. You deceived us! You claimed that we were going to receive that marvelous gift!”“Well now, I am the prince of darkness, the father of all lies! You paid heed to my words and fell from the Lord’s grace, just as I did. But now the time has come for me to become the ruler of this world and reign over you!”“I believe in the Lord’s mercy, he would have already killed us for sure. But he has allowed us to live on and multiply.”“Stop your rubbish and obey your new king!”Adam refused to obey Satan, but Satan’s hand took the form of a sharp inflamed sword and pierced Adam’s chest without making him bleed or even piercing his flesh. Satan extracted the keys of the Earth as he started laughing with a victorious and evil laughter. From the ground a black and horrific throne surfaced and the newborn infernal king sat on his throne. Adam and Eve were forced to witness the ceremony.“Hail the true king from whom all blessings come from!”An infernal praise resounded throughout all the Earth as the vast host of demons praised their new king.A mysterious and strong Belliarhad came forth and held a black crown with maggots in it that rested upon a thorny platform. This Belliarhad, known as Vincent, came walking slowly towards Lucifer and all the demons at each side bowed low before the crown. Vincent finally reached the king’s throne and Lucifer came down and kneeled to receive his new position as the governor of the world. The crown was set and Lucifer’s appearance grew more authoritarian. A black, rotten king had risen.“Let this be a day you remember my slaves! Today I have defeated God! I am God now! And thou shalt bow to me! Curse the King! Curse Him and his Plan! Let us reclaim what was stolen from us by that deceiver!”A thunderous hail came from all the hosts of the Earth and as Satan turned to look at Adam the background disappeared, but Adam had a big and red mark that had burned his chest. It was no dream; it was more like a living nightmare.

Shrewd as Snakes, Innocent as Doves

Today I had a visit from a Jehovah's witness who is a former school mate of mine. From time to time I see him at school and he always wants to share from the Bible with me.

He came to my apartment at about noon. He started sharing with me about his belief in our eternal life being in this Earth. I started showing him how the Bible said the complete opposite, how the Lord has promised us a dwelling with Him in heaven. I also showed him and asked him about the adding to the original manuscripts that the Jehovah's witnesses did to the Bible. He showed me a book in which they "explain" their reasons why they did it. There was not enough time so he left at the end.

I was left with a lot of thinking..."I wasn't prepared enough to defend the gospel, I must prepare myself more to be able to share the truth to him." My intentions were the purest and most nobles toward that person. I know that everyone needs Jesus.

However, as they returned from work, my parents talked with me for a moment, beginning with the phrase: "he's manipulating you."
I wondered how could this be, and I thought that the fact that he opened himself a little favored me in some way.
"He had the guts to bring our Bible and use it to bring you to his "truth"."
He had with him a christian Bible, not the one the Jehovah's witnesses use. He didn't come to hear the truth, he won't move from the lies he's been taught. But he wants to bring me to his deformed "truth." He wants to invade what is the most sacred thing to me. Convince me that Jesus is not God. Convince me that there is no other promise but eternal life here on Earth.

It is a grave insult to my faith the fact that someone tries to convince me that there are "other ways." "We are all christians if we believe in Jesus." NO! that is a term that has been manipulated by the romans to this day. To be a christian is to be someone who believes in the sacrifice Jesus Christ did on the cross and someone who lives like He lived. There is no middle term.

The Jehovah's witnesses have a very well planned strategy. Well dressed, good higyene, kind, respectful, educated, attentive, "open-minded", etc. Their purpose is not to listen to the truth, but to bring other people to what they believe. This person that visited me knows a lot of the bible, however, he uses it in very small amounts. Mutilated verses here and there. A verse in Psalms and other in Isaiah. Those are simply verses taken completely out of context to support their false doctrine.

I have no reason to explain myself to them. I don't have to discuss with people who don't want to listen. It is what it says in Proverbs that when I discuss with someone who doesn't want to listen, I become like him. The Lord will demand from them the knowledge they already have and believed. However, I try to remain firm in my Lord Jesus and the true doctrine.

Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. He disguises himself with the wool of sheeps being a ferocious wolf. Don't let anyone else rip from you what is most precious to you. Be informed of course, but not of the information of others. All you need to know is in the Word of God, the Bible. It is the only thing that guides us to the perfect will of the Lord. It is the Holy Spirit who helps us discern it and understand the heart of God.

Let us be careful, then, who we listen to, and let us also analize how firm we believe we are in our faith. Of course, everyone knows to know about Jesus, but if you have already seen that they know all about Jesus, even seeing it in the Bible and still denying it and trying to avoid it, then don't throw your perls to the pigs and be proud of your faith. Let this person believe in whatever they want to believe and don't try to "share" which in this case would be the same thing as arguing, for that person is stubborn.

But enough of others, what about us? If we see so many bad examples out there, why don't we start at home? Let us soak ourselves of the Word of the Lord, that we might be firm in Him and be able to really discern between good and evil. Let us test the spirits.

"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16).

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" (Matthew 7:15-23).

Fountain of Life

About half an hour ago as I was washing the dishes, a dish suddenly broke in two, causing a cut in my right hand right by my thumb. As I took the pain in (for the cut is somewhat deep) I saw how the blood kept coming out of my hand to the outside and started covering my entire hand. I ran to the bathroom to neutralize the flow of blood and to try to clean the cut a little. I poured a lot of water and soap on my hand and then alcohol, which hurt a bit but not much really. As I was trying to stop the flow of blood, I realized something…and it was a great lesson for me tonight:

We have all sinned and we all sin. We all have our weaknesses and points by which the devil attacks us and seeks to destroy us. When we sin, we seek for the Lord’s forgiveness and He certainly forgives us and takes us back, for in this time we sought Him first; However, when one does not stop the flesh, one continues sinning and sinning, falling in the same thing and bathing in our own vomit and blood day by day, there comes a point in which we no longer care and we become cold toward the gospel…we become rebels toward the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.


Blood flows and flows, falling from my hand into the sink, covering a large part of the sink. However, the pain was gone. Now the Holy Spirit literally transported me to another scenario: the passion of the Christ.

I’m not talking about the movie, but to the suffering of Christ. Mine was but an insignificant little cut compared to the bleeding out of my God…for me. When I see my blood flor, I see the whips with large bones and other sharp objects piercing the skin of my Lord and tearing it without mercy. Time stops. Blood is spilt everywhere, thus creating a bloody masterpiece before all Romans and Jews witnessing the flagellation of the Lord. My wound bleeds a little, his flows without stopping. Millions of wounds throughout his entire body.

"1,2,3,4,5..." The pain is unbearable. "21, 22,23,24,25..." The whip falls on the Lord’s face, deforming it as it is pulled back, ripping large pieces of it as it is taken back by the punisher.

"35,36,37,38.............." Years seemed to have passed since the Roman punisher started flagellating the Lord. Forty minus one…one more…

"39!" The week knees of the Roman officers are tired. They must rest. They have been flagellating the Lord with so much fervor that their human bodies cannot hold it any longer. Jesus’ pain goes beyond unbearable. None of his loins answer his brain anymore, each time he moves his eyes, pain overcomes him and each time he breathes his pierced lunges beg to be let to die. But the Lord knows it is but begun, it is not over yet…two Roman officers order him to stand up. Two Roman officers grab his arms and drag him over to the presence of the Jews, leaving a trail of blood in his way. Before going to the Jews, the soldiers have their way with Jesus. The crown of thorns I places over his head, which pierces his head (where the greater concentration of blood is because of the brain) causing blood to flow without control and also causing his sight to fail. The King of Glory…deformed. The Prince of Peace…tormented and massacrated by men.

"Here is the King of the Jews! "

"Our only king is Caesar! Free Barrabas! If you free this Jesus you are not the friend of Caesar! "

"Crucify Him!"


Even thought the Lord knew this was the consumation of his misión on Earth, terror overtook Him when he heard the phrase pronounced by people created in His image, and by people to whom the Promise had been destined to…it was even worse than his pain.

"What…evil has he done?"


"Let his blood…be on us and our children!"


More than the physical torture, this phrase saddened and hurt him more than everything they had done to Him. With little strength, the Lord whispered: “Amen.”

...


The weight of the incredibly heavy cross opened the Lord’s wounds even more. But He knew the end was but a few hours far. The Romans pulled Jesus and stripped Him of his clothes, then they laid Him over his own cross and prepared the gigantic nails. They tried to place His arms in the right position to nail his hands but…they didn’t reach. The huge loss of blood and the mistreatment by which His muscles went through had contracted his muscles. The Romans then tied ropes around his arms and pulled in each side with all their might so as to release the muscles. His bones and tendons cracked. Every fiber of his being cried out in pain to its maximum potency. Once the arms had been stretched, the first oficial prepared the hammer and…the nail.

Time slows its pace…the Roman officer extended his arm and with great strength lets it fall down over the nail placed over the hand of the Lord. The nail pierces his hand, destroying veins, tendons, nerves, and skin in its path. The nail goes through all the way into the wood of the cross and is set firmly in it. Great cries of pain and anguish are heard from the Lord and the ones witnessing his crucifixion.

The same process is repeated with the other hand…time slows down even more…the cross is turned over, and the Romans let it fall all the way to the ground, hitting His face with the impact on the ground and His bleeding body. The Romans fold the edges of the nails to fasten them and then turned the cross over again, furthering the pain and anguish of the Lord to its limit.


Finally…the cross begins to rise…

"Take this and eat, this is my body that is broken for you, do this in memory of me…”

The cross continues its rise.

"This is my blood that is shed for you. Do this everytime you drink this in memory of me. And every time you do it, the Lord’s death you announce until He returns.”


The cross stops...


The wind blows silently. An entire night of conspiracies and one day of inhuman suffering make the cross seem a place of final rest.

The wounds make the Lord struggle for air. Wood pieces pierce his body. The position he is in doesn’t let him breathe, and since His lungs are pierced, he has to lift his body’s weight in order to breathe. But his knees quickly give away.

“Father…forgive them…for…for they know not w…what they are..d…doing…”


"If you are the Son of God....come down from that cross and take us down too!!"


"Have you…no…respect for God!? We have justly received our punishment…but…Him…what…what has He done? Lord…re…remember…me…when you…when you come…in your Kingdom.”

The Lord, despite being completely destroyed and deformed manages to smile in such a way that the hurt of the thief is renewed and filled with joy.

"Verily…I tell…you…to…today y…you will be w…with me in…p…paradise…”

…

“Eli! Eli! Lama sabactani!?”

...



There’s an incredibly long and solemn silence in Heaven. There are thunders and black clouds. God the Father is indignated. The host of angels is shocked to see that from the Father’s eyes…tears are rolling down.

...


"It is finished! Father! In your…hands I p…place my…s…p…i…r…i…t…”

Thus he breathed long and gave His Spirit.

Immediately there was a great earthquake, one which no one had ever experienced. Dead resurrected, there were thunders and lightning.

...


The angels were terrorized. God was standing and his anger and anguish for His Son make the heavens’ foundations tremble…nature acts as God’s anger.

God tears the veil of the temple from top to bottom and many dead resurrect and return to the city.

"Truly this was the Son of God..."


...


Then I returned to the present time. That is what tonight’s wound showed me, or more correctly, what the Holy Spirit showed me through that wound.

Jesus is the Fountain of Life. This source poured itself until it was dead for you. Nothing else in this world, no other fountain has poured and given itself so much as the Lord. Being the Creator of trillions of galaxies, He chose you before the world’s foundation to be His son.


What I have narrated to you about Jesus’ death is a poor interpretation of the real suffering He went through…but imagine what he went through…FOR YOU!

I bleed…he bleeds to death…my death bleeds a little, He pours His entire life on the cross…


Who has ever shown greater love for you?

Warfare of the Saints delay

Hello everyone,I regret to say that the book will not be finished by summer of next year. It is a far too complex process and one which is very close to my heart. It will take work of years not only to finish writing it, but to be revised and rewritten. However, I know the Lord uses everything, and with more time and dedication, this book will deliver far more than I ever expected and will also plant the seed of hope and salvation within those who seek the will of the Lord.Hoping you will understand and grant me more time, I take my leave.Blessings in ChristEliezer Salazar

Lukewarm

"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."" (Revelation 3:14-22).


What does it awake in you when you read this passage? Do you reflect about your relationship with Christ? Are you cold? Or are you battling day by day to reach the stature of the perfect Man? Many times we are quick to judge other brothers in Christ in their relationships with Him. We do a perfect job in tearing them apart in our minds and expose them to shame or their “nakedness.”

"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" (1 Corinthians 10:12). How firm do we believe we are walking? How apt do we think we are to judge others before ourselves? Let us measure our temperature before and fear Him who will judge the living and the dead.

Ask yourself this: am I looking for the Lord’s face? Am I walking in his commandments? Am I cold? Am I hot? Am I lukewarm? Whatever it is, be afraid when you are either cold or lukewarm, come before the Lord, repent (which jeans to stop doing what you use to do, never do it again or come back to it) and seek for the Right way and for the holiness for which the Lord called you in the first place.
