THE OTHER NIGHT I ATTENDED A REVIVAL AND A MINISTER FROM ANOTHER CITY PREACHED ON SPIRITUAL WARFARE OUT OF THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS AND HE CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WHEN HE SAID THAT HE WAS CONVINCED THAT THERE WAS A SPIRITUAL ATTACK ON THIS CITY AND THERE WAS SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.

HE STATED “BE CAREFUL WHO YOU VOTE IN OFFICE BECAUSE THEY CAN AND DO CONTROL YOUR CITY.

EVEN IN PAUL'S DAY WHEN HE SPOKE ABOUT THE POWERS THAT BE. PAUL WAS SPEAKING OF THOSE THAT OPERATED GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVELS.

IT IS GOVERNMENT THAT KEEPS PEOPLE IN BONDAGE.HE STATED THAT THIS CITY LIVES WITH A SPIRIT OF DECEPTION AND PEOPLE CAN CONTROL YOU AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN CONTROL.

WE ARE KEPT IN DARKNESS HE SAID. HOW? BY KEEPING INFORMATION FROM YOU, LIKE GRANTS, BIDS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. WE GET INFORMATION AFTER ALL DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.

WHAT HE STATED IS THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO SIT HERE AND COMPLAIN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A WARDROBE FOR WARFARE GET DRESSED.

IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING FROM YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, WHY DON’T YOU VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE? THE ONLY WAY TO GET CHANGE HE STATED IS TO GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN OFFICE.

IF WE WANT TO SEE TRUE CHANGE, DO WHAT YOU HAVE NEVER DONE IF YOU WANT TO GET WHAT YOU HAVE NEVER HAD AND THEN WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS RULE, THE CITY WILL REJOICE BUT WHEN THE WICKED RULES THEN THE CITY WILL MOURN BECAUSE LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN POVERTY.” LOOK AROUND US ARE WE REJOICING? ~ read more
