When your faith is being attacked by negative forces, what do you do to shield and save it from becoming crushed? Do you know how to approach these factors, such as poverty, tragedy, sickness, and accidents, so that your faith will respond better in the sense that it wouldn’t easily stumble to the ground? A spiritual warfare is very important to counter the bad sides of these forces.

By arming yourself with this warfare, you will be able to respond more responsibly against these negative forces in the way that your faith is not getting pulled down. In the bible, it is always said that there will be many forms of satanic forces that will take advantage of the weaknesses of the people. These forces will come by smallest to biggest form.

Sometimes it would be in the most unnoticeable form that you wouldn’t know you are being attacked unless you have a strong spiritual warfare within you. The devices that these negative forces will use are usually those that cause many of us troubles and without being aware of this fact, we always tend to easily blame God for the problems that come our way.

To attack these devices, a strong faith is always a must. The people were created after the image of God and it is for this reason why the enemy doesn’t like us. And the attacks that this enemy is forcing upon the humankind are so strong that many of us don’t really see them behind those. It is normal for the people to be unconscious of what was really happening at the back of the scenes of their lives.

But then, this is just another attempt of the enemy to hide to the people the fact that they were being misled into the wrong path. Being a part of life though, one has no choice but be ready to shield against the darts thrown upon them. Whether knowledgeable or not, these darts will continue to make people weak until they give in and get fooled by the desires of the enemy.

But God has always been prepared. That is why He has all kinds of words that form the spiritual warfare within us the people. Now, it is up to the people how to use that warfare deep within them so that the enemy would not end up triumphant. The words of God, the faith, and the whole armor that God gave the people will save us from those attacks.

People can never stop the fiery darts from coming, but with the help of those weapons they can be stopped from cursing a lasting effect. Any plans of the enemy will not succeed if by faith, people know how to repel them.

If you have doubt about your own faith, you can just think of the Lord Jesus and how He was able to stand so strong to see what was really happening behind Satan’s power of suggestion. He was always quick to respond against the attacks and repel their effects. He was always armed with spiritual warfare that we, as humans, could use too to avoid getting defeated by the enemy.

Everyone is invited to the Master’s table. The voice is calling, unrelenting. Sadly though, not everyone hears, not everyone could get in and have a moment with the One who truly cared for us most. Nonetheless, everyone is an eternal spark in the universe. Once conceived, we are staying for eternity.

In all creation, man alone was created in the image of his Creator, man alone has been bestowed all the graces and the opportunities that would have made the least among us grateful. We are so very special even angels envy us. The same God who created you and I loves with a love that is beyond comprehension, so unselfish that we were bestowed with the freedom to choose to refuse the goodwill of the One who created us. All over the earth, we alone enjoy that privilege. We alone could say no to God.

We are not totally left alone. Throughout centuries of human history we were provided with guides, prophets they call them. These are the men and women who were able to harness and tap energies that prepared them and made them respond to the voice calling from within. Their messages are the foundations from which societies based their civility, morality and laws that have guided us, without which would have made it impossible for humanity to survive.

Often, their lives are the epitome of sacrifices and the world responded many times with ridicule. They plodded on nonetheless and we are what we are now, enjoying what we have now, because they dared to show us the path to a better life and better relationships and to led us to acknowledge powers that are far greater than any of us could imagine. Magnificent powers that could be tapped anytime that never change whether we choose to believe it or not.

Prophets as we know them are not so commonplace now. Modern prophets are for the most part tinged with the stain of commercialism and the taking advantage of the gullible. But man could see through pretenses if not immediately, man ultimately will. The proof of this is that there have been thousands of churches that were established and were defunct over the last three hundred years alone. Modern-day prophets succeeded in throwing people away from churches and better spiritual guidance. Instead of confirmation they sowed confusion.

Yet not everything is lost. Angels guide us. Spiritual beings pray for us. Theirs are the wordless voices that tell us, even compel us to do what is good for us. Theirs is the power that comforts us and which manifests from time to time including moments when we expect it the least. Their voices get louder to those who follow them and hear them. But since we have the choice to reject them, their voices grow fainter every time we say no to them. Then we get lost. Sometimes for the time being, if only to prove to us that the path we insist in choosing leads to suffering.

When we are better prepared, the voices could return. When denied enough, the voices stop. Then we miss the opportunity to sit at the Master’s table.

We live in an abundant world. The purpose of the abundance is so that we live happy, contented lives. Everyone has the right to it. That is how life is meant to be. It has often been suggested that every day, fourteen trillion dollars exchange hands and yet many of us suffer the lack, bowed down by life in fact. Basically, it all boils down to how we perceive money.

Money is a neutral energy. It has a value attributed by society that is a vehicle for us to exchange for materials needed to live. Spirituality that neglects money matters is ignorant spirituality. Mention spirituality that neglects money matters to people bent already from working all day without getting enough to pay for the basic necessities in life and chances are good for being scorned for hypocrisy.

On the other hand, people who have enough money have greater options to pursue better things to enrich the soul. It is the acquisition of it, whatever the cost like trampling other people down in the process and disregarding everything else is what makes it not spiritually edifying. Money and the meaning it brings are directly proportional to how well you are able to tap into the spiritual energy for creating wealth. This does not mean though that people who are very wealthy are spiritual, far from it. In the same manner, it also does not mean that people who have less money are always less happy. There are general principles, though, that improves the chances of tapping into the spiritual energy that prepares us to acquire wealth.

To Have or Not To Have
This is self-image. Whatever we want happens. All of us have the potential to have or not to have, to be or not to be. We could be a vegetarian, a football fan, a family man, a priest, a star or a eunuch. The choices are endless. No matter, it still boils down to how we perceive things and how we react to them. If we believe in our hearts that we could be a millionaire without the self-doubt, we can. Faith and belief that is certain and with conviction, without inner conflicts ultimately prepares all of us to achieve things that other people could only call luck. Believing in who you are and what you are capable of doing starts the ball of opportunity rolling to your direction. All that is left is your ability to recognize it and act on it.

Thoughts
Everything starts with thoughts. Where you are now, how you have become, your house, your job, your wife, your choices are results of thought processes that you entertained years ago. The freedom to choose is not really freedom if the thought process has limited your choices to only those that you think are impossible. If you think you are the victim, you will act like one. If you think you are the innovator, you will one day find the opportunity to be one. Thinking is power. It directs life to how we should become. It also limits it when we choose to. The first freedom is to choose to free the thoughts from limitations. Then other processes set in. Rene Descartes would not have said it any better “I think therefore I am”.

Speech
Words are very powerful. Speech follows whatever we think. When we say something, we declare to ourselves what we want to become and we believe it. Believing is one of the greatest of motivators and so speak something, declare it, be convinced by it. When doubt is not entertained in the mind, actions will follow.

It has been said that every person in the world is connected to one another in so many ways. Even with a single activity that one person does, it can totally change the lives of other people, even those he does not know personally. Such a thing is called relationship. There are different kinds of relationships which people share with one another and one kind is the spiritual relationship. This kind of relationship basically aims for the greatest good for every person involved. It totally transcends every tangible being and matter in the earth and envelops people with the sole purpose of achieving higher things in life.

Disregarding The Physical State

There are many ways by which people may cultivate a spiritual relationship with another being or with other people. Generally, you need to understand that as a human being, you are not only created with a physical body. So, instead of concerning yourself mainly with your physical being, you should remember that your spirituality is much more important. And in order to see your life in a very different perspective wherein you can truly say that you are capable of cultivating a spiritual relationship with another human being, simply take into account making your spirit and your mind much healthier and richer instead of satisfying your physical body into the worldly and material things,

Having Free Will

The second thing which you need to understand is by being a human person; you are entitled to your own free will. This means that you have total control of your life. However, such a thing is not so simple as it may seem; you will have to have control of your mind and consciousness at all times. Having such free will means that in every situation we are in, it is vital that we find some choices on how we should respond to such a situation. We can therefore have either a positive or a negative response; it totally depends on how we react to circumstances. It is when you believe in the spiritual relationship that you are in, that you will know what your choice will be.

Avoid Judging Other

The third thing that you should keep in mind in order to cultivate a healthy spiritual relationship with other people is to avoid judging others. It is definitely important that you do not judge others as if they are much lower than you are for the fact that every human being is created with the same image and likeness as God. Bear in mind that the moment you judge, you will automatically develop an egoistic mind that will absolutely produce negative thoughts inside your head and therefore, lead you to negative actions and pursuits.

Accepting Others For Who They Are

The fourth thing which you have to do in order to fulfill a spiritual relationship with other human beings is to be able to accept not only yourself but other people for who they truly are. It is imperative that we accept one another for growth to truly come about to each and every person involved in the relationship.
