God's Generation: His New Warriors in the Oldest War

By Dwight Tatum

God and Satan, good and evil, the first and last war. A war not taking place in heaven but here on earth. A war in the invisible spiritual world that goes on as we live from day to day. People generally want and desire to be good but often find it hard to be because Satan has created so many avenues into our world and lives. Being invisible, deceitful, and very crafty, we're defenseless and no match for him, so God protects us when we ask for his help. A lot of us help our enemy in defeating us by lacking faith in God and believing Satan's lies and deceit. Some people don't believe in God or Satan, but both exist and affect our lives. Not believing and allowing Satan into our lives defeat us because he uses us for his purposes. God blessed me, after living a terrible life, to see and experience how Satan deceives us. God has blessed me to share my story with you in order to expose Satan and allow you to see him at work in your lives and let you know that you need God to defeat him. If you can't recognize him, you don't know you're being deceived; but God will reveal him to you because Satan can't deceive God.

The Other Side

There is another side of life,

An existence of life within and outside of this realm.

It is where everything possible has a life of its own.

Every thought and imagination, every facet of reality,

Has life and purpose.

We exist in two worlds.

One we can see and another,

Not visible to human eyes.

It’s invisible with a reality of its own,

A spiritual reality which rules, supersedes,

And determines everything within our reality.

It’s like being on the other side of a two-way mirror.

We can’t peer out to see the other side,

But those on the other side can peer into our world.

We’re worlds apart in the same place and time.

There, you and I exist as we really are,

The other side, where all things begin and end.

It’s where our souls come from

And to where they are destined to return.

When we leave this physical realm, we return,

To the other side.

The Real World

To most of us, what we perceive through our five senses,

Is what’s real.

We only seem to know what we perceive through these senses.

We really have no idea or real knowledge of the realm

And plane on which we exist.

Unknown to most is the quiet, invisible universe,

Which surrounds us and determines our existence in this reality.

It contains our past, present, and future.

This Spiritual universe is only visible

To the invisible in each of us.

This is the Kingdom of our Creator.

It and its knowledge was brought to us by His Son,

The Conqueror of Darkness, the Light of the Living.

It is slowly being manifested to us,

Revealing what has been hidden to us in darkness:

Our enemy and life’s true reality.

The reality in which we live, what we know and see,

Is doomed to destruction, it must disintegrate and pass away.

The body, this shell in which we live,

The reflection in the mirror we pamper and adore.

The image we consider to be us and all that surrounds us,

That which we try so desperately to cling to, will never fit

And it can’t exist in the reality to come.

Each of us and this world is evolving into the true reality

Of how we exist in the Kingdom of the Spirit.

We must look deeper into that image in the mirror

In order to find and see the real us.

We must, because that’s what is going to live or die

In the reality to come.

We will find that the time, energy, and resources

That we have spent on the images of who we think we are

And appear to be will profit us nothing.

It has to return to the dust from which it was taken.

The most important part of us that a lot of us neglect,

Is our soul, which makes us who we are.

If we are going to build on anything,

It had better be our soul.

The soul of man is the only part that is eternal.

And it is the only thing that comprehends eternity.

It is the only access we have that will enable us

To enter into the real world.

We can’t truly envision the reality of this world as it is because of spiritual blindness. The Enemy of Life has blinded many of us by focusing our minds and attention on the surface of things and that image of us we claim to be ourselves. He has blinded us with many distractions by keeping our minds so busy with things that don’t feed or edify the soul. He’s constantly whispering into our ears words which drown out the voice of our Creator, slowly taking away our power to hear what’s true and real. He blinds us with false illusions that appeal to our senses and weaknesses while at the same time luring us into doing his bidding. Making us think we’re following our own mind, he leads us into traps and diverts the blame and reason for our downfalls to something or someone else when it fails us, enabling him to stay hidden from us as the culprit—the one causing our misery.

I won’t try to explain to you how these two worlds work. That would be an impossible task for me or anybody else. Just that they exist, and we are a part of both of them is what I know and attest to. I can say though, that the invisible world of the spirit has always been in existence, just as our Creator has always existed and that the world in which we live was created by him. He resides in the world of the spirit. As the air exists and is invisible, so is the world of the spirit.

I’m sure that most of us, if not all of us, have heard of right and wrong, or good and evil, and can understand the relationship between the two. There is spiritual good and bad, but what I’m going to attempt to relate to you is how these affect us and will determine our existence, now and in eternity.

The invisible world of the spirit is here because our enemy (The Enemy of Life) was thrown out of it long ago, along with those he deceived in the heavenly (spiritual) realms, down to this earth. Neither he nor they can ever return to what was once their heavenly home; in fact, the enemy is doomed to eternal death because of his arrogant defiance to our Creator. He is determined to take as many of the inhabitants of our world with him into hell and destruction. He and his followers are spirits with nothing but evil intentions for us. As time moves on for us, so do the destruction of him and his demons come closer to reality.

Our Creator, out of his great love and concern for us all being doomed to eternal death by The Enemy of Life, has provided a way for us to escape this impending doom by sending his Son, Jesus Christ, to defeat our enemy and provide a way through himself for us to be delivered from our enemy, whose agenda is to rob, steal, and kill all that our Creator has given to us that is precious. The most important part is our soul.

Jesus Christ, born a mortal man, achieved this defeat by giving his life and atoning for the great condemnation by the first man placed on this earth by our Creator. We were condemned to death—eternal death—along with the enemy and his demons for the first man allowing himself to be deceived into disobedience by the Enemy of Life. Christ kept his innocence by not allowing himself to be deceived by our enemy because the Spirit of God resided within him. His innocent blood and death atoned for our sins, and he was raised back to life because death had no hold on him. Death won’t have a hold on us either if we accept Christ and his death as atonement for our sins and believe the same power, which raised him back to life, will do the same for
