God needs a Corporate Warrior fighting to Subdue Satan’s Will and bring in God’s Kingdom

Spiritual warfare is necessary because Satan’s will is set against God’s will; as the church, we fight to subdue the satanic will, and Satan is terrified of the church as the Body of Christ, the corporate warrior fighting against him and his kingdom! Amen!

What God is looking after today is not only many churches to be raised up all over the earth but even more, for the overcomers to be produced.

God wants to gain those who are fully one with Him to fulfill His purpose and defeat His enemy. And He is working tirelessly to produce the overcomers.

He doesn’t want only good Christians or proper believers; He wants the overcomers. The totality of the overcomers becomes the bride of Christ, the counterpart of Christ, and this bride is Christ’s army to defeat Antichrist and his armies at Armageddon. Amen!

Today we are in the process of being renewed, transformed, and conformed to the image of Christ, and all things that happen to us and everything we enjoy and experience of Christ is to produce us as the overcoming ones today.

We are learning to cooperate with the Lord and say Amen to the Spirit’s work in our environment to prepare our wedding garment until Christ is fully wrought into us and lived out of us.

Christ is becoming our subjective righteousness and He is lived out of us and expressed through us in many ways, in our service to the Lord and in our daily life.

We love the Lord and want to bring Him back, and more and more we desire that He would return.

On His side, however, He is waiting for a good number of saints all over the earth to be produced to be His overcomers, the components of the bride of Christ.

When the number is good enough in His eyes, when Christ gains the reality of His bride on earth, He will return to rapture those who have been fighting with the enemy and overcoming him throughout the years.

And our wedding dress will qualify us to enter the wedding feast of the Lamb to enjoy the Lord for one thousand years.

When we finish our wedding feast, the Lord as the Victorious General will ride triumphantly to fight against the ultimate rebellion of mankind together with Satan and the Antichrist, and the bride will accompany the Lord.

Her wedding garment will be her uniform for battle, for Christ will only say a word and the enemy will be defeated. Hallelujah!

We today do not look at the worsening situation around us in Europe and all over the world, and we do not focus on the decline and degradation in society and around us.

Our eyes are set on the Lord and our prayers are focused on what is in His heart; His eyes have left the church, for the church as a whole is degraded, and are now on the kingdom.

He desires to gain the overcomers, and our aspiration is to be those who overcome day by day.

We are learning not to love our soul-life but rather deny it, overcoming the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Amen!

May the Lord really gain what He is after in us and through us.

The Church is the Corporate Warrior Fighting to Subdue the Satanic Will and to Bring in God’s Kingdom

Some people want to solve all problems by diplomacy, compromise, and peaceful talks; however, spiritual warfare is necessary because Satan’s will is set against God’s will (Matt. 6:10; 7:21; Isa. 14:12-14).

On one hand, the church is the dwelling place of God, the house of the living God, the one new man, and the bride of Christ.

On the other hand, the church is the corporate warrior fighting to subdue the satanic will that stands against God’s will.

Through transformation, we are not only renewed in our mind, will, and emotion, but even our will is being subdued.

To the foe, our word will always be no, and to the Father, it will always be yes.

Day by day we’re in the process of being transformed and renewed so that the Spirit may spread from our mingled spirit into our mind, emotion, and will, and He will subdue our will to be in harmony with Him.

There is a spiritual battle happening in the universe, and our will needs to stand on the side of the divine will.

Spiritual warfare has its source in the conflict between the divine will and the satanic will.

As the church, we are fighting as the corporate warrior to subdue the satanic will and to defeat God’s enemy (Rev. 12:11). And this will happen. The will of the enemy will be subdued through a corporate Abigail, the warring church in the midst of sufferings.

The victory of Christ will be expressed and applied through the church as the corporate warrior joining Christ in His battle. Christ as the real David will express His victory through us, His Abigail.

So we need to be in harmony with Him on the level of the will. As the Lord is doing this in us, He is arranging certain things in His sovereignty, even things that are not according to our natural feeling or natural life.

And we need to be honest with the Lord and tell Him that we don’t know how can we do this or bear it. But deep within there’s an echo, Your will be done.

Even as the Lord in the garden of Gethsemane said, Can this cup pass from Me?…not My will but Your will be done. He took the cup of the will of the Father, and we follow Him in this.

There is only one will, and that is the will of the Father; the satanic will rises against the divine will, but we stand with the divine will today.

We need to be honest with the Lord and tell Him what we are and where we are, and we need to cooperate with Him to produce us as His overcomers today.

Satan is terrified of the church as the Body of Christ, the corporate warrior fighting against him and his kingdom (Song of Songs 6:10; Eph. 6:10-20).

We need to advance in our experience of Christ both individually and corporately until we are the corporate warrior fighting to subdue the satanic will and bring in the kingdom of God.

May the Lord gain the corporate warrior today whose will is in harmony with the divine will and who fights one with Christ to subdue the enemy and bring in His kingdom on the earth!

And may we be those who pray for this, praying not just for our needs, the needs of the saints, or the situation of our family or in society; may we pray for God’s need and utter back to Him the prayers He prays to gain the bride.

May we allow Him to empty us and attune us with Himself in our prayer so that our prayer would be an echo of His prayer in saying,

Lord Jesus, have Your way to spread from our spirit into our mind, emotion, and will. Subdue our will and cause it to be one with Your will. Amen, Lord, may Your will be done. We join ourselves to You, Lord, and we want what You want. Gain the church as the corporate warrior who is one with You to fight against the enemy to subdue him and bring in the kingdom of God. Amen, Lord, gain the church as the Body of Christ, the corporate warrior that terrifies the enemy and defeats him by standing in Your victory. Hallelujah, Christ has won the victory, and we stand one with Him to declare and apply His victory over the enemy! Jesus Christ is Lord!

The Overcomers Fight the Battle against God’s Enemies and Defeat them to Bring in the Kingdom of God!

Christ will not return for an immature bride; He will return for a perfected, equipped, fully developed bride that will match Him in every possible way.

He will come to marry the one who has been fighting the battle against God’s enemy for years and has been defeating him by standing in Christ’s victory (Rev. 19:7-9).

Satan is not terrified by the so-called individual “prayer warriors” or “spiritual warriors” that Christianity speaks about; he is terrified by the church as the Body of Christ, the corporate warrior fighting the battle against him and defeating him day after day.

Christ will marry the one who has been fighting the battle for years.

When will the years start? When will the battles be fought? These battles are mainly fought through prayer; they are also fought when we preach the gospel, establish new churches, and strengthen the churches.

It is a battle. Everything we do in our service to God is a battle. Preaching the gospel of the kingdom is so that sinners would repent and be transferred out of the kingdom of Satan and into the kingdom of God.

We need to ask people to repent and bind the enemy who blinds their thoughts so that they would have a different concept.

Sinners need to repent because the King is coming near. Our preaching of the gospel is a battle, it is a warfare.

Our visiting the saints, shepherding the new ones, and prophesying for the building up of the church is a warfare.

The overcomers who constitute the bride of Christ fight the battle against all the enemies of God and defeat them in order to bring in the kingdom of God (Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21; 11:15; 12:10).

Through our repentance, we turn from the satanic will to the divine will, from Satan’s side to god’s side, and we choose God.

Through our baptism, we experience a transfer out of the kingdom of Satan and into the kingdom of God. As the new man, the church should walk according to truth and by grace, and as the bride of Christ, the church should live in love and in light.

This is for the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose and the satisfaction of the desire of God’s heart.

However, there is the need for the defeat of God’s enemy; there’s the need for the church as the corporate warrior to fight the battle one with the Lord, subdue the enemy, and bring in the kingdom of God.

For this, the church needs to advance and be the corporate warrior that God requires in this age. Everything we do today is for this.

We walk according to truth and by grace, we live in love and light, and we fight to subdue the satanic will.

May we be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength (Eph. 6:10).

For us to deal with god’s enemy and fight against the evil force of darkness, we need to be empowered with the greatness of the power that raised up Christ from the dead and seated Him in the heavens, far above all the evil spirits in the air.

For us to be the corporate warrior that fights the battle one with the Lord, we need to be empowered in the Lord, and our fight is in Him, not in ourselves.

May we exercise our will to be one with the Lord and be empowered in the Lord.

Yes, we do need to be renewed, and yes, we do need to live in love and by faith, but our will needs to be one with the Lord, being submissive to Him for what He wants to do in this age.

For the one new man, we need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind.

For the bride of Christ, we need to be submissive to Him in our will. For the corporate warrior, we need to be empowered by the Lord. May we be such ones today.

Lord Jesus, empower us in the Lord and in the might of His strength so that we may be part of the church as the corporate warrior who subdues God’s enemy and brings in the kingdom of God! Amen, Lord, as the Body we put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil. Make us those who stand in the Lord and fight the battle in the Body, in the Lord, to defeat the enemy day by day. Dear Lord Jesus, make us Your overcomers, those who constituted the bride of Christ fighting the battle against all the enemies of God and defeating them to bring in the kingdom of God! Amen, Lord, may Your will be done and may Your kingdom come! We are one with You today.
