No Longer Remain The Warfare Plunder: Blessed Blunder Manual Series, #1

By Emile Luke and Iris Luke

Are you tired of feeling like you're always the warfare plunder in your life-battles?

And are you desperate and ready to throw the blindfold off for the knowledge that will trigger SOME change?

How about these other questions...

"Have you ever felt like you have been involuntarily drawn, propelled, pulled, and moved into actions, reactions, and events that you later wonder how you ever got into— those twisted and tangled messes that you find yourself fighting almost regularly?"

"Have you sometimes had the eerie feeling that the person behind your troubles always seems to be in control, and always one step ahead of you, your prayers, and even your trained-in, and prepared responses?"

"And are you sick of feeling like only a good joke to the devil, in spite of your best spiritual fighting knowledge and skills?"

"Has your life seemed to become a perfectly planned clock-work of bad judgments, inexplicable sequences of pits and misses, snares and sins, floundering feats, failures, and bad, or even outright evil consequences, and you cannot seem to fathom how?"

"Worse still, does it seem like this pattern has become your 'norm and regular,' even though you believe you have not sowed for them in your walk with God?"

"Have you in ceaseless praying, wielded your spiritual sword as greatly, relentlessly, and mercilessly at the enemy, as God Himself said He would in Isaiah 27:1 — only to find yourself the one cut down — wounded, or almost killed by this unseen enemy?"

"Could it be that you are wielding the sword wrong; at the wrong enemy, or in the wrong direction?"

"Even so, has your own weapon become so heavy in your hand that you feel like throwing in the towel, and 'letting it all go?'"

If so, don't lose heart! The answers in this book are for you, and your sword will soon turn from being a liability to your ability and liberty!

Friend, there is a solution to stopping this bad trend in our lives of being the befuddled victims rather than the victors.

In this series, you will discover, de-web, and conquer the stuff that means that at the end of each battle you, your life, and affairs are ending up as the battle-plunder rather than walking in the rewards of these hard-fought faith battles.

We're talking now about YOU doing some conquering and winning, and overcoming and overpowering those very obstacles sent to tackle you down and take you out, and taking possession of the spoils of war God has for you.

And this manual, the first of a four-part series is right here to walk you step by step to victory by opening your spiritual eyes, and unveiling the dilemmas and questions and in these revelations lie the answers and solutions to these life-tripping events that you were formerly blind to.

 

Thus in cooperation with the Holy Spirit, you will turn the tables on the adversary and your foes, and become more of what God has created and predetermined you to become — His iron walls and bronze pillars, not easily penetrable, or breakable.

No longer the enemy's plunder!

We hope to see you with us, on the deliverance and winning side of God's high places!

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Our profound gratitude and reverence is to The One Who alone by His grace made this work possible; To Our Great God and Father, His Christ  and our Messiah, Big Brother and ONLY Champion Jesus, and His Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Confidant, and Teacher, Counsellor, Friend, and Guide.

YOU our GOD are continually, and will ever be more magnified in our Eyes.

We are also profoundly grateful to God for the two special gifts and rewards of grace to us, our son Dani-E, and our daughter Elie-dee, and His use of them both to bring us to where we needed to be for His service.

Every blessing, and most loving thanks to our beautiful and amazing gem of a daughter Elie-dee, who poured countless hours and days of her life and time into labouring with us in every way and wise, field and stage of preparing this, and our other works, from arranging, proofreading, to editing them, while ensuring that we have kept on the thorough and excellent straight and narrow, with the delivery.

Our heartfelt thanks to our brave and uniquely gifted son Dani-E, for his diligence, skill, and speed in transcribing our messages, and through whose challenges, God for us, has truly disarmed the adversary for us and many, demystifying, decoding, and spoiling the works of the devil.

Our special thanks to The Lord for all those through whose lives and needs, challenges, and own suffering, the gifts and calling of God, and our ministry were pulled out, and proven with signs and wonders following;

And finally we are profoundly grateful to God that we survived, and now live and thrive from experiences and encounters with the adversary, his minions, and all others in between; The good, the bad, and the ugly, the faithful and unfaithful, and the flawed, as well as the frauds of God's household, through whom many lessons were learned, and our stories were derived.

God bless each one as He alone can, and He knows how.

BIBLIOGRAPHY?  N/A

Reader Alert!

How the Blessed 'Blunder' that is, miss it, and miss out, and Become 'Plunder', that is, lose out, and lose much, is a subject that is riddled with begging questions.

Although it is not possible to have an exhaustive discourse on this broad subject in one small writ, nonetheless, these genuine questions like;

How did this happen to me? and;

How did it get this far before I took notice?

...are what we have confronted in different ways in this work and these series.

Many of these Scripture-rooted answers to these issues, besides being answered for us personally, have been confirmed for us as we observed, and even got involved with others as they processed the same or similar issues.

More importantly, the answers herein, are already in the Scriptures, and within any believer’s reach ― although the enemy would have us believe differently.

That is why we have dared to confront these questions, in these series for those not seeking formulae, but who could use the help from others who can relate with their difficulties.

And, thus being better equipped with more understanding, we hope that you can re-evaluate things pertaining to your lives, re-align where necessary, and begin your journey towards recovery and complete wholeness.

Like an ordinary manual, it is intentionally conversational in style, with much highlighted emphasis on information, as this is intended to be an aid in helping the reader note the important points, by discussing through the processing as a manual would be.

––––––––

This is because the healing and deliverance that comes only from the One Who authored, and will finish His work on and in us and, indeed our faith in Him, cannot just be sourced from other people’s messages, revelations, testaments, and testimonies.

Hopefully, at the end of this study, we will see why, and all agree that we must all dig for the treasures of God for ourselves, if we are to take ownership of the results and rewards of our faith for ourselves.

So our sincere hope, and prayer for the beloved, to whom this memoir is being sent, is that these series of works will guide us back to the Lord Who commissioned them, and carried us through this process, and that He will be found by His beloved to be our Champion Teacher ― The Teacher like no other!!

INTRODUCTION

THE CASE FOR THE FAITHFUL

We have come to recognise that being participants with God in His events in these times we are living in, will take more than being an accepted, or acceptable 'believer' in The 'Jesus of the Christians', while ensuring you don't become a 'Jesus freak' like them yourself!

This by no means implies that we are not always celebrating, and applauding all of the 'God-true' good Christians.

Nevertheless, doing God and His covenant has gone past the times of just finding our own level within the Christendom factions that we like, or have chosen for ourselves, or one that tolerates us, because they need the crowd, or our skills, and the silver.

It is certainly beyond fitting in with everything suggested, or supplied to us, for our self-flesh and soul-ish palates!

This covenant, and the journeying of it, is by no means the forte of the complacent, nor is it a haunt for the hyped-silly, robotic, 'cattle class,' and 'couch potato' Christian!

And for some of the 'middle class' to 'old guard,' and seniors amongst us, it even goes beyond our ('righteous') selves, and our continual castigating, and heretic-hunting of others that we love-to-hate, in the hope that we can criticise them into actually falling, so that we can gather the broken pieces and bricks of their empires, to build our own mini clay 'castles' and our own bespoke 'clan' of adulators!

And what's the deal for the rest of us who have been convinced by what we see practiced in Christendom today, that we are the 'runt of the litter' in our Father's House, and therefore must toe the line, agree, concur with, or capitulate to every plagiarized garbage preached at us, and glean every fallacious and grandiloquent chaff dropped off for us?

This is of course usually due to the fact that, in our shallow judgment, our own ministries are not two-pence worth to God, and our names are not amongst the greats, or well-known and recognised!

And of course, those 'greats' we adulate appear to exhibit, sound, and look like they're getting somewhere 'high and mighty' right?

Well, that is not always right, for as the world says, 'all that glitters is not gold.' But even more severe is God's own reminders to us in the Bible in Isaiah 30:22 and Proverbs 26:23 that, there are metal and clay vessels, items, or idols that can be glazed with gold, and overlaid with silver (slag)! We have met many over the course of our journey, and paid for presuming otherwise, for the Scripture warns that; To respond to a matter before you hear about it, shows foolishness and brings shame. (Proverbs 18:13). The matter could also be, or include persons!

We must now come to terms with the reality that this life, and covenant race we are in, takes more than YES-ing and AMEN-ing the venerated mini 'god,' and /or 'goddess' of our preferred factions ... but really going nowhere ourselves for God, and possibly even heading to hell (if one of these presumed 'holy' hook-ups are actually one of them synagogues of satan).

Beloved, this covenant is not a lifeline 'game' that we are in for the joy-ride, and flesh-fun, hoping to just be rescued and 'whisked on' to blessing, and even Heaven by others!

It is a lifetime 'contention', and an all-out war for your very soul and destiny, and your opponent neither plays fair, nor by any rules, and he does not care who you are, or which church-club you belong to!

As the enemy gets more aggressive in his race against time, God is waiting for His remnant, His living stones who would shun the status quo of churched religion, and refuse to be mere building blocks for other men's dreams, calves, and castles!

So, it is time for us to heed The Lord's rousing summons to awake from deathly stupor to righteousness, so that truth's light can shine on us, then we can;

Shake free of the enemy shackles, restraints, and impediments;

Shape up spiritually, and;

Return to the cross.

This of course, is a clarion call for all true saints to return to pure, uncompromising righteousness, fearless faithfulness, and passionate pursuit of God, His will, and His agenda which has nothing to do with my, or our various parts of the world, whether I am from China, Korea, Africa, or the USA.

Having come from a place of learning these spiritual realities from hard, even life-threatening hits and knocks, our life-passion and pursuit is to blow God's trumpet from His Holy Mountain, and sound the much needed alarm to His faithful Watchmen.

We are living in a 'kairos' age in God's agenda (as is evident from the world events), and we need to not only face the reality of what enemies we are already dealing with, but to confront our own selves and the enemies within, as David prayed in Psalm 51:6.

In doing so, we can better address the enemy without; those in our faces, cupboards, backyards, and gardens (or shall we say, in our churches, relationships, families, and fan-bases)!

So, whether it is 'steak-eating' saints, or milk-bottle ones, the God and truth-seeking pursuers, and observers of justice, or simply curious and avid readers, that will dare to reach for our material, we pray that all may do so, as this is not about huckstering truth, but about aiding God's beloved, and any others needing the help we needed, but never had.

With this work, we seek to (and have) structured it to provide help as is needed, stirring up many to repentance, readjustments, realignments, and ALL to preparation for the end-time events, ushering in the fast approaching Age of God-Governance (look out for this title).

Being armed with the truths that we are going to find in this journey through the pages of this book, will help you become so much more;

Sensitive to the Holy Spirit;

Savvier with the covenant truths, and thus;

Better judges of what you witness, experience, encounter, contribute to, cooperate with, get involved in, and hang with.

This awareness, and the changes and re-alignments they impel and propel, literally enable you, beloved, to shorten the time you spend in satan’s hands, camps, pits, and ruts.

We all do make mistakes, but what truth we know, and what we do with it, determines how long we remain in the mess that those mistakes and God-missing might have got us in, and the hurts, pains, and even judgments that we incur, while we unintentionally remain in that mess, and those pits, as we saw with the prodigal son!

Ready, Steady, Grow!

Beloved, please be 'counselled' that wrong actions or paths will not become 'of God' because we ourselves 'wish and will' it to be God, or loudly confess and announce that it is, when it is not His will!

Most of us are guilty of this heartbreakingly grave, yet regular, courage-crushing, and REAL faith-crippling crime against our own selves and souls, and it brings to mind Romans 14:23 where we are warned that;

Any action not consistent with faith is sin!" (The VOICE)

"...And anything not based on trust is a sin!" (CJB)

"...And everything that does not come from faith is sin!" (TPT)

After twenty-nine years of serving God full-time, we can honestly say that our identification, and response time to our own blunders, is different now from how it was even a year ago, because we grow from glory to glory, in the knowledge of God, and His ways.

We therefore trust that by God’s grace, what is learned from this series would mean that;

Those issues that may have taken you 5 years to unravel, 2 years of stiff warfare to root out, and 10 more to recover from, you could nail from just one, or only a few conversations, events, happenings, or even a few days in that environment.

You would more easily identify blunder snares, avoid them, and flee from becoming enemy plunder; even in situations you might have thought were of God, or blessings for you!

The bonus and added benefits of this new awareness, is how it translates into armoury for you, as you are better able to aid, not just yourself, but also your loved ones, and friends in escaping, or never having to become enemy plunder.

CHAPTER 1

THE PROLOGUE —A TRAILER FORTH-WORD

The Assignment

"In defence of the faithful," is the one phrase that pretty much sums up our assignment from The Lord, and our spiritual journey makes up the résumé that vindicates this calling and appointment.

Having been instructed, groomed, and positioned in season, we are therefore persuaded, that our works are timed for this coming age of God-governance, and towards the faithful remnant, who desire to participate with God in those events that most of us have probably read about in the Scriptures, but now see unfolding before our very eyes, and every day in the news!

These preliminary 'trailer' thoughts, will probably precede many of our early works, since ours is a ministry with the restorative thrust of partnering with The Lord in the reviving of His faithful who have suffered ― recovering them back to their rightful place on His 'Holy Mountain,' and in the bullseye and frontline of God's business, His agenda, and Divine Rulership.

Indeed, our works are for all the 'whosoever' of God's true people, out there, who are in their hearts in hot pursuit of Him, His truth, His ways and His Just Cause on earth, whether they know it yet or not!

And yes, these works are for those who even now are on their way to His Holy Mountain! (Micah 4:2)

This is what informs our own core Covenant outlook, conduct, passion, pursuits, commitments, and indeed even our sacrifices.

That zeal and fervour, we can admit, is indeed what turned an introductory chapter of another work, into a four part 'manual' series, as we then were made to call it.

And so this work, and our other literary efforts ― indeed all our spiritual work endeavours, and pursuits, are a tribute to The Lord's faithful ones, and a paean to Our God and Father, Who found, chose, and attested them as Our Master Jesus was!

Bringing To Birth...

This work that became a series, was started as part of an introduction to another completely different topic volume and title, which kept growing as the unction to 'tell all' on that other subject kept increasing.

It soon felt like it needed to be more than an introduction to another work, and needed to be dealt with as an independent subject entity all by itself, as a realistic and sincere foundation on which we can do spiritual justice to that whole area of our spiritual life and covenant living.

So, as we separated this subject into its own purpose, we determined from the way the Lord was leading, that this had to become the maiden piece of all that we had been assigned to do in relation to the literary aspect of our work, and journey.

And at the same time, it was also increasingly becoming clear to us that our allotted part of His work was to be every whit trans-generational, as well as cross-denominational.

As Providence would have it, in the now period of four years which it took to prepare these works, it seemed like the Lord had thrust into our face and sphere, some intense ministry episodes, and new learning curves across different nations, with people and events that happened to be in the line of these discussions presented in this work.

Many of these victims of the wicked one were often seasoned believers, who were facing what we had encountered, and dealt with, but just like ourselves in our own past, they did not know how to navigate such matters, and spiritual terrain, and therefore had been dealt by the wicked one the pain of having to recycle those issues for years and years.

In the process of testifying of the aid that they received from our ministry, and counselling, we were told that there were others, even the elect, who needed to know some of what we were sharing with them from this volume yet uncompleted.

There seemed to be a general consensus forming from these testimonies, and suggestions from people of different nations, that were confirming the understanding and instructions that we had been receiving ourselves, and journaling from the Lord.

We had always understood (from the Lord) that we were to teach other faithful people from our own lessons that He had taught us.

However, the recommendation of a manual version of our works by some of those who had received practical ministry from us on matters addressed herein, and flowing from our own journey, was rather unexpected.

Although we were grateful for these testimonies that we knew were The Father's confirmation, and indeed His very endorsement of us, these suggestions felt like a call to 'overdrive' ― considering the number of years already gone into breaking this down for consumption.

However, again we waited, and had these thoughts and suggestions tested, and it was proven by clear signs and fruits that those comments and suggestions was a natural outflow of the deliverance these brethren had experienced.

It also confirmed what we understood up to that point about this part of our calling, but didn't feel ready, or shall we say 'qualified' enough to do.

Thence were these works developed into what they are now, and this process further extended their release timing!!!

However, we are confident that this timing of their release was well within God's radar.

It was really a struggle to rein in this runaway train of a piece of work, as we longed to cover as much as possible for the beloved, and anyone else who needed, or might need the help we never had, yet, we felt that it could not be allowed to become encyclopaedic in volume!

But, if there was anything that we were fully persuaded of from God's own words, and perspective in the Scriptures, it was that the faithful shouldn't just survive their lives on earth, but thrive, in the presence of our enemies, and despite the opposition of all those who hate God and us.

And now persuaded that we should give God and His faithful the best we could this first time, we rolled up our sleeves once again, and decided to give it at least all we could manage as a mini-series, and try to structure it somewhat into manual style the best we could.

So while these works are not written like your regular manuals, we were gifted 'a way' and means to that end....! We adopted a shortcut to arrive at a close enough to, yet equally effective manual style digest.

This method consists of a sort of prose, into which we incorporated the asking and answering of the questions that we....;

Pre-empted that the reader might be asking of themselves, even as they read, and are made to take a second look at; Questions that might cause them to revisit certain matters and areas of, or within their own lives!

In addition, we also;

Confronted those issues, or 'points,' that the adversary might have, or be flashing as his own reasoning 'counterpunch wisdoms,' that he sends against that truth, or lesson being addressed herein;

We then proceeded to;

Unveil, decipher, and unravel those personal inner man issues, and enemy theories that we now know the enemy employs to befuddle and plague the human soul, that we ourselves have thrashed and wrested out through Spirit-guided Scripture meditation, truth-based house cleaning, and drawing from our own grace-aided and proven answers, and/or closures we were granted in these same areas;

In doing so, we seek to;

Aid the reader better understand themselves, and their own warfare, by emphasising and highlighting these truths the best we could, while;

Encouraging the reader to engage with God themselves as they should (and must), in their own truth-based spiritual discovery journeys for their own answers, closures, and escape!

And some mini-series, it became! ALL Glory to God!!!

Thus, this, our ‘Author's forth-word’ (or shall we call it word-forth) introduction to this series, is not intended to be the regular song of Author-praise, but hopefully a word aimed at strengthening the God-seeker, who desires to follow and serve God fully, and partner with Him in fulfilling His purposes without being shackled by the stuff that the enemy has always used to impede, restrict, and bind the true, pure, and faithful.

The Voyage.

This first volume is somewhat diagnostic, and is primarily aimed at highlighting the quandaries and questions, dilemmas and riddles, transgressions and malfeasances, and failings and felonies (David?) in the faith and faithful.

The second volume, on the other hand unveils the causes and triggers of believer blundering against the mirroring backgrounds of spiritual events and Bible heroes and forerunners. We attempt to unfurl how the enemy builds all these spiritual elements into a symphonic 'musical' enactment, with the 'fads and farce' prophets, the 'went,' but not 'sent' priests, and God's people, the unwitting patrons, all making up the cast to play in this ensemble production composed against their lives, and ultimately against God's Master Plan And Rightful Rulership (see Jeremiah 5:31).

The third volume is the attempt at an exit road-plan that goes beyond the causes, culpable, and culprit, to the webs and workings of the enemy’s believer-tuned and staged sonatas and compositions that they form. We spotlight the covert systems and strategies that ensure that the saints run the sufferings and afflictions of storms and stress.

We attempt to emphasise the knock-on effects and ramifications of 'playing' and 'dancing' along whether from 'ignorance' of these enemy wiles and machinations, blind loyalty to your blind-sidedness, or a wilful choice to keep 'drinking it all in' and according to Psalm 73:10 ... turn and are carried away by them ; .... Watch and listen, yet find no fault in them. Choosing to remain blind, deaf, and ultimately damned.

Our goal and expected end then, is to strengthen God's own for exiting from these storms and stress sonatas, and taking back their lives and The Covenant Legacy that Jesus won and left for us—The Spirit ordered and guided life,

The fourth volume finally will provide a 'solution-focused' base for escape, and the journey beyond to freedom, healing and deliverance from the power of the adversary, and those who hate us, that only the truth we do get to know can bring. Thus, we can truly sing God's own love-song of Purity, Praise, & Power.

The process of arriving at the expected end for this manual series, however, cannot be possible without the necessary killing of some religious sacred cows.

So, we might as well start here, from this intro, and the all-probing ecclesiastical W inquisitions ― the requisites and pre-requisites querying of; 'Who,' 'Whose,' 'What’s,' 'Where’s,' 'When,' and 'Whys' ...which for no name authors like us, would boil down to, Who would dare take on such a subject matter where the 'Greats' avoid?

This in turn, of course, evokes other questions on the subject of attestation!

But, even for the just curious, we also hope it will provide
