For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12
This spiritual battle began when Satan who was a created angel holding one of the highest positions amongst the angelic realm sought to displace God. You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty….You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you…You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.
Ezekiel 28:12-17
Satan intended to exalt himself upon the throne of heaven. How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit. Isaiah 14:12-15
God removed Satan from his position of authority, casting him out of heaven. Ever since, the devil has manipulated people to worship and follow him. He always seeks to twist and distort the image of God by attacking the truth of God’s Word, the Bible. This battle is intensifying. Think upon these following realities of how the devil is attacking the image of God, seeking to replace it with his own image.
For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the Church. Eph 5:31-32
Marriage is a visual reminder of the relationship between Christ and His bride the Church. The devil has sort to destroy this image in society for a long time. Forty to fifty years ago homosexuality was illegal. Building on the momentum of the feminist push and the sexual revolution, various activist groups promoted tolerance, diversity and sexual freedom leading to homosexuality being decriminalised in many places. Then the push to legalise same sex marriage went full steam ahead and since 2001, over 31 countries, including Australia [2017] have legalised same sex marriage which has come to be accepted in society as a normal expression of love and marriage. In fact, anyone who speaks up against homosexuality is accused of homophobia, hate crimes and demonised by the media and even prosecuted in the courts. The devil, not content with his perverted image of marriage has pushed on with the whole LGBTIQ + movement which further distorts the wholesome relationship of a husband and wife as presented in the Word of God.
We need to remember, in the beginning God only created Male and Female.
So, God created man in His own mage, in the image of God He created him, male and female he created them. Gen 1:27
The devil has worked hard to destroy this image of God in society. The world now debates what really is a woman. Anyone who uses a biblical explanation is put down, criticised and marginalised. The beautiful and marvellous image of a woman is being eradicated. We are told, we are no longer to refer to our mothers as ‘mother’ but rather our birthing parent. The woman’s God given gift to breast feed is being replaced by the term chest feeding which is claimed to be more inclusive. Trans Genderism and gender fluidity once the domain of adults is being introduced to school children of all ages across the world. It is claimed there are over 70 genders for people. So, who’s image are these 70 plus genders made in? Certainly not God, He only made Male and Female. This is Satan’s scheme to deface and destroy the image of God that has been stamped into our personhood, sexuality, marriages, children and families. We are being told we cannot use terms like He, Him, His, She or Hers because we might offend someone if they identify as something other than male or female. The anomaly of transgenderism is the devil seeking to eradicate the image of God in society and replace it with his own distorted image. It is no wonder people are becoming so confused, not knowing who they are, putting their minds and souls into torment.
A further attempt by Satan to destroy the image of God in society is through abortion.
If he had his preference the devil would destroy God Himself. But since that is not an option, the next most satisfying accomplishment would be to annihilate the image-bearers of God, human beings.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:13-16
The unborn child from the moment of conception is made in the image of God, meaning human life is distinct from all other earthly lifeforms. Abortion is an outright attempt to annihilate this image. In Australia there are an estimated 80,000 children who are aborted each year through surgical means, though this figure does not include chemical abortions. While the World Health Organisation estimates 42 to 50 million babies are discarded worldwide each year. The blood of Abel cried out to God from the ground [Gen 4]. One can only imagine the cry of all the murdered innocents. There is a war of the worlds going on, a spiritual battle in the shadows of our everyday existence. Satan continues to malign and attack the image of God seeking to replace it with his own image, preparing the world for the rise of the Antichrist who will proclaim himself to be divine, whose sceptre, whose whole embodiment is one of lawlessness. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
We must be on guard. The Apostle Paul warned:
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. (Col. 2:8).
Believers, do not to be taken in by any philosophy that does not conform to a proper knowledge of Christ. This involves guarding and treasuring the doctrines of the Lord Jesus Christ that has been given to us in the Word of God (1 Tim. 6:3-5). As we abide in Christ and His Word, we will see through the shadows of deception attacking the image of God Almighty, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in our world.
Greg and Judy’s Update: At the last moment we organised a 10-day trip [12th to 22nd Aug], we were invited to come and speak at Gin Gin. We then travelled to Chinchilla speaking at a youth group followed by an open meeting and the following day speaking at a ladies’ bible study group. We then travelled to Toowoomba and spoke at two Churches on the following Sunday. We were also able to catch up with a few of our prayer warriors on our journey. We covered over 2600 klms and we praise God for His travelling mercies. In
September/ October we are speaking at Molong, Gilgandra, Grenfell, Young, Orange and whatever else may open up.
Prayer Points: Jenny Willis [Greg’s mum] suffered some silent heart attacks and a stroke. Her twin brother
George [89] passed away unexpectantly from a heart attack on the 12th of July.
Jenny had 4 stents inserted into arteries in her heart on the 18th of July and is doing well. Pray these stents will give a new lease of life.
Our daughter Sarah finally got to see the cardiologist, the right-hand side of her heart is enlarged, and she has a leaking tri-cuspid valve on the right-hand side of her heart. She will need open heart surgery at some point but is being monitored for the next 12 months. Continue to pray for healing and wisdom for the specialist.
Praise God for open doors regarding ministry. May He continue to direct our paths for the remainder of 2022.
Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and
the truth will set you free.” John 10:31-32
