BLESSED WITH VICTORIOUS WARFARE OVER EVIL

My Dear Precious Child, Paul wrote to his fellow minister named Timothy that he must commit to the prophetic utterances of the Holy Spirit through other ministers by which he could wage good warfare with the devil and his demons. Then he wrote that Timothy must hold onto faith and a good conscience. Paul knew that when a person's conscience convicts him or her of having bad thoughts, speech or works that his or her path toward righteousness is blocked and faith is diminished. In fact, he wrote that some people had shipwrecked their own faith with evil thinking. Paul even named two men whom he had turned over to the devil so that they would learn not to blaspheme Me and My name. After he contrasted having a good conscience with having a conscience that convicts a person of blaspheme or evil deeds, he continued with good instructions on how to live a peaceful life. He instructed Timothy to, first of all, pray for all people who are in authority over him, praying supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving for all people who are in high positions civilly or politically so that the result of your prayers would be that you would live a peaceful, godly and respectful life. He said that those prayers are good and acceptable in My sight because I desire that all people would be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. He professed that there is only one real God, and there is only one mediator between Me and people, that being Jesus Christ. He reminded Timothy that Christ Jesus had given himself up as a ransom for all people, his testimony being borne as truth in its proper time. Paul admitted that he had been called by Me to be a preacher and a teacher of the Truth, a teacher of faith and truth to the Gentiles. He even wrote to Timothy that he desired that in every place people should pray and lift holy hands without anger or quarreling, that women would adorn themselves modestly and sensibly, and that they do good deeds. He continued to further Jewish traditions when he wrote that women should learn in silence and be submissive, declaring that no woman should teach a man or have authority over men. He stressed that since woman was taken out of man, that she is in an inferior position to him in the world. His reasoning behind men continuing to be the heads of all areas of a woman's life was his former dedication to Jewish Law. (I Timothy 2:1-12) However, in some of his later writings, Paul wrote that in Christ there are no males, females, slaves or free men, that everyone is equal in My sight. (Galatians 3:28) His later revelation was insight into My view of no one being in submission to anyone, that all people are free and equal in My estimation. In fact, he wrote that men should also be submissive to women just as women should be submissive to men in areas of family decisions and in society.(Ephesians 5:21-33) Submitting to each other is a way to maintain peace. Submitting to the other partner's gently explained ideas very often allows me to declare who is right in a situation. As I told you before, would you rather be right or would you rather be righteous by your refusing to insist on being right in a conflict? When you have allowed Me to prove you to be right in a decision making situation instead of your insisting on your own way, the outcome was glorious on your part and My proof brought peace to the conflict. Insisting on your always being right leads to anger and resentment from your counterpart. However,the person who humbles himself or herself often turns out to be the person who was right all along in the situation because I provided the evidence that he or she was right. Before Jesus Christ came into the earth it was taught in Jewish Law that women were always wrong, were always guilty, and were always yielding to the deceiver because of a weak character since she influenced Adam to sin. In Christ, though, males and females become equal, with both being willing to humble themselves and allow Me to prove who is right in a tense situation. The way to become righteous is often to refuse to insist on your own way, but instead to yield to the opinions of other people. If you are right, I will prove to the other person that you were right, thus you becoming the righteous one and the person who was right all along. Everything changed when Jesus Christ came to earth. When My covenant of the Holy Spirit came into the earth the old covenant became null and void. My children became new creatures. Males and females became equal in My eyes. Officials in authority must also submit to ideas of his or her workers in order to become a humble official. When a person becomes strictly authoritative, he or she institutes rebellion in others, giving the devil the occasion to create conflict and strife, in which there is every evil demon from hell. (James 3:16) That is why I change the hearts of people in the new birth, so that all people are equal in their own eyes just like they are equal in My eyes. Then the devil is robbed of his ability to create wars, conflicts, divorces, robbery, etc. , if all people will look upon each other as equal according to My new covenant of the Holy Spirit. Your Father of Equality and Love
