sary an-tsaina, 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. na izany aza, 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, raha ny tena izy, 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, Devoly, they don’t see the devil and don’t discern Ny asan'ny devoly and his host.
They are fighting according to spiritual warfare techniques, FOMBA, sy ny paikady, which they learned during sermons, seminera, and conferences.
They apply these spiritual warfare technics and methods in their lives and fight spiritually like crazy.
Amin'ny voalohany, they are all fired up. But after a few days, they become a bit tired. Indrindra indrindra, 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, satria araka ny filazan'izy ireo, 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, izay mandeha araka ny nofo. Voafehin’ny sainy izy ireo, fihetseham-po, fihetseham-po, eritreritra, Sitrapo, Lusts, faniriana, sns. 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 Ny tena ara-panahy. But they don’t actually see and walk in this spiritual realm themselves.
They don’t discern the powers, fanapahana, mpitondra ny haizin'izao tontolo izao, and the spiritual wickedness in high places. fa tsy, 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. Atỳ, the devil destroys many lives, all because of a lack of knowledge of God’s people.
Many Christians think they are born again, fa raha ny tena izy, tsy izy ireo. They are not born again and don’t live after the Spirit and don’t walk according to what the Word says. Therefore the Faritra ara-panahy 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.
Mahonon-tena, Aoka ianao ho mailo; Satria ny devoly fahavalonao, toy ny liona mierona, Mandeha an-tongotra, mitady izay hohaniny
1 PETERA 5:8
The sons of God are not fighting against an invisible enemy
Rehefa lasa famoronana vaovao ianao (nateraky ny rano sy ny fanahy), you shall live as a new creation. Tsy zanaky ny devoly intsony intsony ianao, Fa lasa zanak'Andriamanitra ianao (na lahy sy vavy). Amin'ny maha Zanak'Andriamanitra azy, it’s your job to represent, TORIO, Ary ento ho an'ny olona eto ambonin'ny tany ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.
na izany aza, 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, ahoana no ahafahanao misolo tena, TORIO, and establish the Kingdom of God on this earth?
Namaly i Jesosy, tokoa, marina tokoa, Lazaiko aminao, Afa-tsy ny lehilahy ateraky ny rano sy ny Fanahy, Tsy mahazo miditra amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra izy. Izay ateraky ny nofo dia nofo; ary izay ateraky ny Fanahy dia fanahy (John 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.
Afa-tsy ny lehilahy teraka indray, Tsy afaka mahita ny Fanjakan'Andriamanitra izy
John 3:3
Ny Fanahy Masina dia mitarika anao amin'ny fahamarinana rehetra
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. Ianao diaHavaozy ny sainao 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. Through His Word, you shall get to know His will.
You shall walk in Ny didiny, which represent His will. You shall not listen and walk after the lusts and desires of your flesh, INTSONY. 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, and harmless, 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 nahitsy, cleansed of death works, purified and sanctified by the Word and the Holy Spirit unto God. Amin'ny alàlan'ny fizotry ny fanamasinana, you will spiritually mature and the spiritual realm becomes more real to you than the natural realm.
Izao tontolo izao sy ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao, Devoly, 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.
Tsarovy, that you have laid down your own life as the old creation and have become a new creation, iza no Nipetraka tao amin'i Kristy Eo ankavanan'Andriamanitra, Any amin'ny toerana any an-danitra.
Raha mbola mijanona ao amin'i Kristy ianao; 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.
When you are seated in Him, you also FANJAKANA over them and it’s your job to exercise the authority in the Name of Jesus over them (Vakio koa: Finoana ny anaran'i Jesosy).
na izany aza, 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.
'Aoka ho fanasin'ny tany'
