Personal Note From the Author

I was a victim of the occult; these people tried to utterly sabotage me and brutally murder me. I have suffered severe persecution to get this book into your hands. My deepest prayer is that this persecution will be a blessing for many, and I beg and plead for all readers to take this book seriously. My heart’s desire is that you hem yourself in God’s love. God bless you all! To God be the glory for ever and ever! Amen.

The War For the Human Soul

A

s a bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pen these inspired words from heaven to bring glory, honor, and reverence to God the Father, my Lord Jesus, and the Spirit of all truth. Just think, if we were to come back to the God of the Bible, it would revolutionize and transform this nation overnight. What a blockbuster thought! What a doctrinal, theological, and geopolitical explosive statement that would change the world. We need a spiritual revival across this nation from sea to shining sea. If this hollow point of truth makes your heart weak, take a nitroglycerin tablet.

Our major national problems of crime, AIDS, abortion, divorce, and the fentanyl crises would cease to be. The cedar fever feeling for sin would become a pinch of sawdust. The war of wills would cease fire. Delinquency would be a thing of the past. Playgrounds, which have become deadly battlegrounds, would succumb. Shooting in the streets, a social phenomenon among domestic tyrants, would die out. Drug rehab centers would be empty because people would overdose on the Holy Ghost and not try to reach the pinnacle of the seventh heaven on crystal, crack, china, and coke.

There would be a revival of abstinence, sexual morality, and purity. There would be no gay parades with men parading and kissing each other, which is the kiss of eternal death. There would be no polka-dotted, prima-donna, and pop-tart homosexuals using the cross as a stripper pole. The transgender and the LGBTQ communities of bearded, poochie guys prancing around in bras, thongs, and stilettos, completely indifferent to public opinion and public decency, would be no more. Never again would Phil try to be Jill, and Jill try to be Phil.

If we came back to our First Love, the House of God would be filled with enjoyable, huggable, and lovable people every week because illicit passions would not dictate priorities. There would be a system of ethics, and humanity would love one another. The pleasures of self-gratification to create the Ishmaels of the world would become a vintage memory.

The sanctimonious, selfish, self-centered, self-satisfied, and self-contained attitude would come to a screeching halt. Perversion, porn, and the lewd acts of prostitution, which have reached the pinnacle of sexual exploitation, would end. Tyranny, the abuse of government power, would implode like a house of cards. National economic prosperity would surge like fountains of fortunes.

The national debt would vanish in the blazing sun, and taxes would plummet. Why? There would be no jails! No prisons! And no open borders! The courtrooms would only be filled with people who received traffic tickets. Most of the police force could retire. It would end the stupidity of political correctness, and people would discover how to tell the truth. We wouldn’t have politicians who pander to the pleasure of sexual degenerates.

If people could live by the simplicity of the will and the Word of God, the psychiatrists and counseling sessions would be blatantly empty. You wouldn’t have clinical antidepressants, centerfolds, condom crusades, and cocktails as vices to revive this nation’s flatline. There would be a bonanza of benefits and the riches of a righteous revolution.

Our sin is engraved with an iron tool inscribed with a flint point on the blackness of our hearts. Stop living in the slave market of sin gracefully and handing over your life to unauthorized dealers. God the Father is our Maker! Only God has the genuine spare parts to our lives. Let us come back to the Manufacturer of our hearts and sanctify the Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts. We must bear in our bodies the marks of Jesus Christ.

If we return to the Bible basics, we will again be one nation under God. As the Bible says, It would be the days of heaven on earth. If everyone had a golden blaze for the zeal of God, there would be an explosion of purpose, power, and personal holiness. There would be a revival of divine purpose for our nation. How do we take this nation back? Return to God and the blueprint for your life, the Word of God, with integrity, loyalty, and fidelity. It’s time to turn back to the one true God; He is the basis of our greatness! God is asking, Where art thou?

FINALLY

Paul puts his pen to parchment and writes, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:10–11 KJV).

Paul is saying, Finally, there is something more I can tell you. Finally, he can give us a revelation from God that the church has never heard before. The revelation is this: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12 KJV).

Finally, Paul can tell us that we are in a very real war—a war that is so brutal and so intense. This war is more important than carrying eighteen ounces of hot air across the end zone. This war is about eternal souls. This war is about your sons and your daughters. This war is about the future of this nation. This war will determine where you will spend forever, in heaven or hell, and this war does not care if you believe it or not.

Paul writes, We wrestle, describing a Greek wrestling match in the battle cry of Ephesians 6. This is not the kind of wrestling match where two loudmouths get into the ring, shoot their mouths off, and fall two out of three times and someone gets a pat on the back. In a Greek match, when you wrestle, you gouge out the eyes and leave that person an object of shame and pity—ruined for life. You cannot kill your enemy until you can smell his breath. Satan’s objective is to make you a luxury of shame, pity, and disgrace, in chains, in shame.

Why do so many people have such a difficult time understanding, comprehending, and believing that there is a very real devil and a supernatural war going on for the soul of man and the nations of the world? Ignorance! We are not fighting Adolf Hitler or another human being, but the evil gripping, gothic, genius, the devil himself. This unseen enemy is a powerful, shrewd, highly organized, supernatural enemy enslaving our children’s fertile minds, destroying the marriage covenant, and destroying the hope and the future of One Nation Under God.

The devil’s fingerprints are on the soul of this nation. We are fighting his high command, what Paul calls the battle cry of Ephesians 6: the rulers, the powers, and principalities of darkness of the unseen world in the heavens. The devil is the commander of a whole host of demon powers. This means we are to go to war with the rulers of the unseen host of demonic powers of the air, which is the evil empire under the demonic command of the prince of darkness.

The greatest war in world history was not Yorktown, where George Washington crushed William Wallace while fighting for the independence of the Thirteen Colonies, which brought forth the American Revolution and, out of the womb of war, came forth, America. The greatest battle in the world was not D-Day, when our troops stormed the beaches of Normandy under the command of General Eisenhower and invaded and crushed the Axis powers of Hitler. The greatest battle fought was not found in the winter trenches of Korea or in the blood-soaked swamps of Vietnam. Only in this
