कल्पना करना, a boxer stepping into a boxing ring blindfolded. As soon as the fight starts, the blindfolded boxer starts fighting and punching like crazy against his invisible enemy. His coach gives the blindfolded boxer valuable instructions. तथापि, because he can’t see what his coach sees, these valuable instructions are worthless to him. The blindfolded boxer fights defensively instead of offensively to protect himself. He thinks his opponent attacks him, जबकि वास्तविकता में, his opponent doesn’t do anything. He just waits and watches him punching like a wild man. The opponent waits until he becomes so tired and weak that he doesn’t have to do much to knock him out. Just like this blindfolded boxer, there are many Christians who are fighting against an invisible enemy.
The blindfolded Christian
This blindfolded boxer represents many carnal Christians, who are spiritually blind and live in darkness. These Christians heard and know about an enemy but they don’t see the enemy. They and don’t discern the works of the enemy and because of that many Christians are fighting against an invisible enemy.
Although many Christians know about an enemy and heard about the adversary, शैतान, they don’t see the devil and don’t discern शैतान के कार्य and his host.
They are fighting according to spiritual warfare techniques, तरीकों, और रणनीतियाँ, which they learned during sermons, seminars, and conferences.
They apply these spiritual warfare technics and methods in their lives and fight spiritually like crazy.
प्रारंभ में, they are all fired up. But after a few days, they become a bit tired. विशेष रूप से, when they don’t see anything happen.
They endure for a few days, but then they quit fighting against their invisible enemy. That’s because what they expected to happen didn’t happen.
They didn’t experience any change. Therefore they give up and quit, क्योंकि उनके अनुसार, it’s not working.
But it shouldn’t be surprising that they give up fighting and quit. Because how can they apply spiritual warfare technics and methods if they don’t discern the spirits and the spiritual realm?
How can they fight against an enemy, who they can’t see? How can they be victorious when they are fighting against an invisible enemy?
Many Christians are fighting against an invisible enemy
There are many carnal Christians, जो शरीर के पीछे चलते हैं. They are ruled by their senses, भावना, भावनाएँ, विचार, इच्छा, अभिलाषाओं, अरमान, वगैरह. They walk in the natural realm instead of the spiritual realm and therefore they walk by sight and not by faith. They know about the spiritual realm, because others have told them about आध्यात्मिक क्षेत्र. But they don’t actually see and walk in this spiritual realm themselves.
They don’t discern the powers, रियासतों, इस संसार के अंधकार के शासक, and the spiritual wickedness in high places. बजाय, they embrace them and their works without knowing and are destroying the works of God instead of destroying the works of the devil.
Through ignorance and a lack of knowledge, they open the door and invite evil spirits into their lives. इस तरह, the devil destroys many lives, all because of a lack of knowledge of God’s people.
Many Christians think they are born again, लेकिन वास्तविकता में, वे नहीं हैं. They are not born again and don’t live after the Spirit and don’t walk according to what the Word says. Therefore the आध्यात्मिक क्षेत्र remains invisible to them.
They don’t walk in the light but in darkness and are fighting against an invisible enemy, who wants to destroy and kill them. Many times this invisible enemy succeeds in accomplishing his mission and destroys many lives.
संयमित रहो, सावधान रहिए; क्योंकि तुम्हारा विरोधी शैतान है, एक दहाड़ते हुए शेर के रूप में, घूमता रहता है, इस खोज में है कि वह किसे निगल जाए
1 पीटर 5:8
The sons of God are not fighting against an invisible enemy
जब आप एक नई रचना बन जाते हैं (पानी और आत्मा से जन्मे), you shall live as a new creation. आप अब शैतान के बेटे नहीं हैं, लेकिन आप भगवान के पुत्र बन गए हैं (नर और मादा दोनों). भगवान के पुत्र के रूप में, it’s your job to represent, धर्म का उपदेश देना, और पृथ्वी पर लोगों के लिए परमेश्वर का राज्य लाओ.
तथापि, as long as you remain carnal and keep walking after the flesh, you will not be able to do this.
You will remain a resident of the kingdom of darkness and will be oppressed by the darkness.
Your eyes will be blinded by the darkness and therefore you will not be able to see the Kingdom of God.
If you don’t see the Kingdom of God, आप कैसे प्रतिनिधित्व कर सकते हैं, धर्म का उपदेश देना, and establish the Kingdom of God on this earth?
यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, सचमुच, सचमुच, मैं तुम्हें कहता हूं, सिवाय एक आदमी को पानी और आत्मा से पैदा होता है, वह परमेश्वर के राज्य में प्रवेश नहीं कर सकता. जो मांस से पैदा होता है वह मांस है; और जो आत्मा से पैदा हुआ है वह आत्मा है (जॉन 3:5-6).
When you become born again and you become a new creation, your flesh dies and your spirit raises from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.
सिवाय एक आदमी को फिर से पैदा होना, वह परमेश्वर के राज्य को नहीं देख सकता
जॉन 3:3
The Holy Spirit guides you into all truth
The Holy Spirit dwells in you and He shall be your Teacher in the Word. He shall make the written Word alive inside of you. आप करेंगेअपने मन को नवीनीकृत करें with the Word and shall walk according to what the Word says and become a doer of the Word. You shall spiritually mature and grow up in the sonship of God.
When you read and study the Word, you shall get to know Jesus and through Jesus, you shall get to know the Father. उसके वचन के माध्यम से, you shall get to know His will.
आप अंदर चलेंगे उसकी आज्ञाएँ, which represent His will. You shall not listen and walk after the lusts and desires of your flesh, अब और. But you shall live after the Word and the Spirit, and do what They tell you to do.
The Holy Spirit shall reveal to you the spiritual realm behind the natural realm. He shall expose the enemy, who has always been an invisible enemy to you. He shall expose the darkness and its works and bring it into the light.
Maybe there will be moments, when you will be startled by what you see and maybe don’t like what you see. Many things that you always considered normal, innocent, और हानिरहित, suddenly aren’t that normal, innocent and harmless anymore. You will become aware of demonic manifestations.
When you spiritually mature, the more the spiritual realm will open up to you
The more time you spend in the Word and do what the Word tells you to do, the more you grow up into the sonship of God. You will be सही, cleansed of death works, purified and sanctified by the Word and the Holy Spirit unto God. पवित्रीकरण की प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से, you will spiritually mature and the spiritual realm becomes more real to you than the natural realm.
संसार और संसार का शासक, शैतान, that is the enemy of God, shall also become your enemy.
This is not because you are so important or special, but because Jesus Christ lives inside of you and Jesus Christ is important.
याद करना, that you have laid down your own life as the old creation and have become a new creation, कौन है मसीह में बैठा भगवान के दाहिने हाथ पर, स्वर्गीय स्थानों में.
As long as you stay in Christ; in the Word and the Word abides in you and you become a doer of the Word, you shall walk by faith as the new creation.
You shall reveal and destroy the works of darkness and the enemy will not be able to touch you. But as soon as you leave the Word, even if it is for a short period of time, he will hit you.
Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth
Every enemy of God is under Jesus’s feet. Jesus has the highest authority in heaven and on earth and every name must bow for the Name of Jesus.
जब तुम उसमें विराजमान हो, you also नियम over them and it’s your job to exercise the authority in the Name of Jesus over them (ये भी पढ़ें: यीशु के नाम पर विश्वास).
तथापि, the enemy must become visible to you, and the only way is through the Word. You have to become aware of his works and tactics because otherwise, you are fighting against an invisible enemy and we both know how this fight; this spiritual warfare will end.
