THE SECRET OF ALL WARS

THE SECRET OF ALL WARS

Scripture: Revelation 16:13-14

Topic: The Secret of All Wars

"And I saw THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS LIKE FROGS come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, TO GATHER THEM TO THE BATTLE of that great day of God Almighty."

Revelation 16:13-14

The ultimate trick of Satan is to make Christians fight against each other. The presence of devils is seen in the presence of conflicts and wars! Notice how three unclean spirits have only one aim: to gather the nations to battle. When you understand that demons are the instigators of all conflicts, wars and battles, you will be unwilling to get involved in unnecessary wars. All marital conflicts, all wars, all church splits and conflicts are demon inspired. 

Notice again, when the dragon was released from prison after a thousand years, he immediately organized a world war. 

"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER TO BATTLE: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."

Revelation 20:7-9

This is the main work of the devil: to get human beings to fight and destroy each other! To get couples to fight and destroy each other! To get churches to fight and destroy each other! To get pastors to fight and destroy each other. Be very careful when you see yourself being drawn into fights, conflicts and wars! Satan’s master plan is to get all nations to be at war. Satan is good at getting people to go to war. He can even get angels to fight with God the creator!

Satan is able to get humans to even be at war with God. Why is Satan so good at making humans quarrel and be at war? The Bible reveals Satan’s secret ability to create such conflicts and wars. He uses deception to get us to fight one another. What are the deceptions that are used to get us into war?

There are four main deceptions that work to bring about all wars.

1. The deception about your own strengths and weaknesses. When you are deceived about how strong you are, you are encouraged to enter into wars and conflicts. You are deceived that you will win. This is why nations organise military marches and display mighty weapons; to dissuade the enemy from thinking of attacking them. “See how powerful I am! Don’t try attacking me” is what they seem to be saying!

2. The deception about your enemy’s strengths and weaknesses. Often you are deceived about how weak your enemy is. Many people think they can quickly deal with the enemy. Soon they find out that the enemy is not as weak as they thought. Many spouses are deceived about the other spouse’s determination not to be run over and pushed around in marriage. They start a conflict only to find out that they are in a titanic struggle of life and death. 

3. The deception about your moral rights to fight for something. In churches, many feel they have a right to correct the pastor and correct the way the church is run. Some people feel they have moral right to control the lives and activities of their spouses. It is this feeling of moral justification that leads people into conflict and wars. This is the deception that satan capitalizes on to get us to fight one another. You feel justified about the war you are embarking on.

4. The deception about the need to achieve something through a war. Many also enter into wars and conflicts trying to build something, get something or achieve something. Hitler was trying to get more living space as he called it. Many Christians think they are achieving something as they correct men of God. However, you cannot take the place of a judge. You cannot step into the judge’s shoes and do his work. Watch out! You may be biting more than you can chew!

Without these four deceptions, Satan would not be able to get us to fight one another. 

Have you been affected by any of these four deceptions? Are any of these four deceptions leading you to battle? Are you in a major conflict because you are deceived? Do you feel justified? Do you feel you are strong enough to win the arguments? Do you think the other party will not react? It is time to back down. Do not allow demons to gather you anymore into any battles!

Many of those who fight pastors and churches are deceived into going into war with even their own fathers. It is important to teach the Word of God in order to fight deceptions that lead people into unnecessary conflicts!
