CHRISTIANS AND SELF DEFENSE

The following seems to ring true with me. It is from Dr. Byron Weeks. I have also heard from other Christians that our fight is not with beings who are containers of the spirit of LIFE from Almighty God. Those who are made in God's image belong to God. He is to decide when and where they are to leave this world, as He alone is the Judge. We must not attempt to play God. However there are, as Byron states, lower beings which God HAS given us dominion over, many of which are beings of DEATH and DARKNESS masquerading as beings of LIFE and LIGHT. These creatures, who have no part in the Adamic covenant, CAN be justifiably destroyed IF they pose a threat to us.

God, I believe, wants ALL of His creation to take part in His redemption, as there are versus such as "WHOSOEVER will, let them take the water of life freely", "preach the gospel to every CREATURE," "praise the Lord from the earth, ye DRAGONS and all deeps". God in many cases told the Israelites to give their enemies a chance to surrender, and if they did not then to destroy them utterly. They were dealing with human beings motivated by demonic entities which had pulled these tribes and nations down into the lowest pits of animalism, murder, debauchery, and so on. It was God's will to use Israel as His sword of judgment to keep the infection of evil from spreading. However this sword had two sides or edges, as was evidenced by Jehovah's harsh judgment upon the house of Israel when THEY turned from Him. Basically this resulted in Israel turning their back on God, and thus having severed themselves from the protecting hand of God the evil one was able to come in and destroy.

Remember, there are two sides of warfare. There are the OFFENDERS and the MURDERERS, and then there are the DEFENDERS and the EXECUTIONERS. If you MUST be involved in warfare between man and man, make absolutely CERTAIN that you are on the right side! But remember, OFTEN in human warfare BOTH SIDES are the wrong side!

Should Christians take part in warfare? The Word of God says that "he who liveth [makes a living] by the sword shall die by the sword" and that "evil shall slay the wicked". Just remember that there were times of warfare when Israel lost battles by trusting in the arm of the flesh, and times when they WON battles by trusting in the power of God, who commanded His angels to fight these battles so that the Israelites would not even have to lift their sword against their fellow man. We can seek first the kingdom of God and GOD will provide all of our needs, including supernatural protection from our enemies IF WE CAN BELIEVE IT, and trust in God's protecting promises. Elijah was surrounded by enemy armies, however he was able to see that the angelic armies WHO SURROUNDED HIS ENEMIES were more then enough to deliver him and his friends from destruction.

Our job is not to lift our sword against our fellow man, but against the incarnate hosts of hell itself that would seek to "divide and conquer" humanity into extinction, those subterranean denizens of evil who under Luciferian direction seek to devour and destroy all life and innocence where ever they may find it. When confronted with our human enemies and our life is in danger it is better to run and hide than to take another human life. Trust GOD and his angels to deal with those other misguided humans and also trust God to give you the wisdom, insight and direction to escape the enemies devices: "the wise man seeth evil coming, and hideth himself, but the fool passeth on, and is punished". Such people are merely expendable pawns who are being indoctrinated and ordered to carry out their missions by the ultimate enemy.

Those in the military must realize that much of the military is under the control of the hosts of darkness. As for local militias who are not connected to the military-industrial "powers that would be", do not LOOK for fights. Your warfare should be spiritual. God will cause the wicked to destroy each other, so no use having another man's blood on your soul to affect your SPIRITUAL freedom, which is the most important "freedom" of all. For those who may be captured by a human enemy, respect that human enemy as someone created in God's image, for Jesus said "love your enemies", and also "if a man's ways please the Lord he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him". All of these scriptures are in the Bible, I will not cite chapter and verse but if you wish to look them up they are there.

If you stand accused before armies and authorities, God will give you the words to speak. "The wrath of man will praise the lord, and the remainder of wrath He will restrain." So rather than challenging them [who knows, maybe they have legitimate grievances!? Unless of course we are talking about the armies of the beast who will have taken the mark of hell and have therefore forsaken their "birthright" among the human race, having turned their wills over to Lucifer/Satan]. But if they are "true" human beings, rather than invoke their wrath against you, instead attempt to instruct them about their REAL enemy and expose to them the strongholds of this enemy as best you are able. Yet in doing so do not betray your "true" fellow man to death just to save your own skin. And if you are in such a dilemma and your spirit is destined to leave this world, at least you will not have the blood of fellow human beings on your conscience.

There is a "cancer" in the body of "Adam", and even though some may be succumbing to the cancer they are not your true enemy unless or until they are truly spiritually dead with no hope of redemption. But let GOD decide when this point has been reached, not you. Our job is similar to that of an immune system T-cell, to attack and destroy the REAL enemy, the "tumors" so to speak, the command centers of evil where ever they may be, and the idolatrous WORKS of evil inhabited by beings of death and darkness.

Sincerely;

Alan


More on the Right of Self Defense

Jesus' teaching was to avoid the use of force in self-defense, but  only for Himself and His apostles, the personal representatives of the office of the Christ. This has always posed a dilemma to the conscientious followers of Jesus. He advised that the use of the sword could only be justified if the opponent was devoid of any manifestation of the Indwelling Divine Spirit. If such a one has rejected God, and His divine truths and has embraced Luciferic iniquity, he has shown himself to be a minion of Lucifer, and thus he has disqualified himself as a part of the brotherhood of Man—and becomes the enemy of the sons and daughters of God. In this case, defense by counterforce  against unwarranted personal attacks is permissible under God's law. The threat of deadly force by government against an innocent citizen, whose only action is  refusal to bow to tyranny, may be tantamount to an act of war, and accordingly may be effectively and prudently opposed by appropriate counterforce. This dictum is amply substantiated in scripture. Additionally, use of force in self defense against Reptilians,  Grays, and  hubrids is likely justifiable on sight. This would not include the  gray/human hybrids who have a multicolored aura, and are thought to possess a soul matrix.

Moreover, if the pacifistic view is to be applied in every instance, then we could not have gained our freedom from the evil British Crown [mad King George] in the American Revolution. We could not have had God's permission to defeat the Axis Powers, the Japanese Empire, and  World Communism. We would be wrong in our attempt to defeat the aims of the present Globalist Conspiracy to reduce us and our posterity to serfdom  and slavery and  to depopulate the world via mass murder to an environmentally sustainable level.

Nonetheless, the individual is much more limited in the use of force than is the society. A group or legislative decision to declare war against another group or nation is far more just than is the decision of a single individual such as the President. That is why the Emergency  War Powers Act, which actually suspended the Constitution in March 1933,  is a monstrous tyranny over the minds of the American people. It has been used on many occasions to sanction the decision of one man, the President,  to draft young men into the military, and to commit and coerce the youth of our country to the unrighteous use of  weapons of war—to become the evil instruments of the mindless killing of other soldiers and innocent civilians in wars that cannot be justified under the laws of God.

In my opinion, the  prime example of an unjustified presidential decision to declare war would be the apocalyptic, merciless  criminality of Vietnam with its relentless slaughter, and  the countless tragic betrayals that shattered the lives of so many of our  young fighting men. And we cannot forget those bullying intrusions  in Haiti, Somalia, Iraq (the Gulf War) and Bosnia, none of which have really been won. The recent cruise missile attacks in Afghanistan and Sudan were made by the reckless decision of President Clinton alone, and seem likely to result in major escalations of terrorism, perhaps leading to an all out conflagration and World War III.
