The Enemy already knows you
The enemy already knows you and that’s the problem. The enemy knows you more than you know you! You must know your identity so that way the enemy can’t mess with you as much. Oh he will try but at least if you know your identity, you can stand on that foundation and fight back but without the foundation of who you are, you will suffer.
Case in point:
Jonathan, who died in battle with his father King Saul, had a son. You guys know the story of David and Jonathan. They were extraordinarily close in relationship with nothing strange going on but in today’s society there would have been questions but nonetheless, they were very close to each other and had each other’s back. Even though Jonathan was the son of the King, David just loved him like he was a close friend. So David has now taken the throne and the nurse that was taking care of Jonathan’s son whose name is Mephibosheth ran away because she had heard news of the death of King Saul was running and accidentally dropped Mephibosheth as a young child and the child became crippled as a result.
2 Samuel 4:4
And Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up,and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee,that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth. Now Mephibosheth was crippled and in hiding because he was afraid David would kill him because it was common for the new King to kill off the rest of the royal family so that there would be no challenger to the throne.
Side Note:
Did you know that in nature Lions do the same thing? The king of the jungle, when he takes over a pride of female lions, will kill off all the cubs that are not his. This in turn ensures his bloodline will be the one that continues. And probably also so that the young cubs don’t grow up and challenge him as well! Now back to David, well King David now! David wanted to show Sauls family kindness because of his relationship with Jonathan who had died in the war. David heard about Mephibosheth and so he sent for him to show him kindness
2 Samuel 9:3-8
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet. And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar. Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Note: Mephibosheth was expecting to be killed but this was not to be the case, David restored him and gave him land!
Mehphibosheth had an identity problem, he thought of himself as a dog and a dead one at that. He was crippled. I’m talking to someone here, your body doesn’t get to dictate WHO you are or WHOSE you are! We are all going to get new bodies that look like your TRUE Daddy! Right now we have bodies that look like DNA from our ancestors, some of us are short, tall, skinny, big, one arm, two arms, one leg or two legs but there’s gonna come a time we will be transformed into our heavenly bodies amen! Now how can you fight the enemy from Lodebar. Mehphibosheth was in Lodebar now. I don’t know much about Lodebar but it sounds low and we all know from star wars you got to fight from the high ground. It’s all about the high ground! My star wars people out there understand that one!(joke) If you’re fighting the enemy from an Identity of WHOSE you are, it makes a big difference because if your fighting from Lodebar the enemy can just mess with your mind and the fight is twice as tough than it should be. Jonathan’s son who was crippled took on a worthless identity but in reality he was royal. Even in the natural when I was in the military we studied the enemy. We studied enemy aircraft so we could recognize them. We study the human body so you know where to attack the weaknesses. When we study the enemy, weakness will begin to stand out and you can plan an attack on those weaknesses. It’s about time you know the enemy a little bit and I stress A LITTLE BIT. For the above reasons it’s good to know your enemy but in this case you don’t necessarily need to do a full biography for obvious reasons it’s a very dark study. When working in a bank you study the dollar. You don’t need to study the counterfeit too much because if you know and study the real deal you Will know when something doesn’t look right, why cuz you’ve studied the authentic and when something fake comes across your way you’ll know! Also you never want to engage the enemy in long winded talks. If you notice even the angels don’t engage with the enemy in long winded talks.
Jude 1:9
But when the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” You keep it short and to the point that’s it! Why? Because the enemy is sly, slick, slippery and twists words to get you confused and turned around. Example in the garden of eden the serpent said’ surely you won’t die”
Gen 3:4
AND THE SERPENT SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE
2 Peter 3:8
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing: that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
- Adam lived to be 930 yrs old
- Methuselah lived to be 969 yrs old! The longest that ever lived as a human being on the earth.
- So you see the lie. They died that same day!
- Mankind died that same day the serpent said surely you won’t die. Lies!!!!
- This is why you don’t engage with long winded talks with the enemy! I mean why would you converse with something you have nothing in common with!
Ok so now the serpent was in the garden of eden. What do you think he was doing there?
Ezekiel 28:13-17
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God;thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezekiel 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned:therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
So you have this tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Don’t you think satan partook of that same tree? And He tempted Adam and Eve with it. Even though they messed up Adam and Eve did, at least they were tempted. What’s satan’s excuse? Huh? This is what was going on in the garden. Apparently everyone there did partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but its ONLY GOD WHO CAN PARTAKE OF THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL AND STILL CHOOSE GOOD! BECAUSE GOD IS GOOD AND MATHEMATICALLY REPRESENTS ABSOLUTE GOOD HE REPRESENTS ALL THE GOOD QUALITIES YOU COULD EVER THINK OF! GOD WAS TRYING TO BE A FILTER FOR ADAM AND EVE AND SHOW THEM GOOD. JUST LIKE YOUR CHILDREN YOU SHOW THEM GOOD AND NOT EVIL! BUT ALAS WE KNOW WHAT EVENTUALLY HAPPENED. Verse 13: Instruments were a part of lucifer’s body. All the precious stones were upon him. He was beautiful ! Verse 14: Lucifer would walk inside of God! He would go into the stones of fire which is God’s heart! It doesn’t get more intimate than that! Lucifer would go into God’s heart and receive revelation and he would come out and he was allowed to release this revelation from God’s heart!
Isaiah 14:14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Lucifer saw us inside of God. God carried us within him! Before you were pregnant, God was pregnant with us, Amen!
John 1:4
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. We existed inside of God and Lucifer knew something was up. He saw how we were special and something special was being planned for us. He became filled with iniquity and jealousy. Meanwhile you have this army led by Archangel Michael and this army had nothing to do! But now Lucifer wanted to be bigger than God and started recruiting everyone on his side. He started running his mouth and now the hosts of heaven knew what they were created for! Lucifer was only able to get ⅓ of the angels and these were the worshiping angels. So if Lucifer got ⅓ that leaves ⅔ left and ⅔ is alot bigger than ⅓! Lucifer only got the angels he was in charge of, that’s it. All the while God is just sitting back and watching all this unfold. I bet he couldn’t believe how a created being could be so full of himself to think he could topple God! So while Lucifer went out talking trash behind God’s back one day he tried to go back inside of God and he couldn’t, now it was game on and war broke out and Lucifer was eventually cast out of heaven.
Rev. 12:4
His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth.
Isaiah 14:12
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! The word ‘Lucifer’ in Strong’s Concordance number H1966 is the word “helel” El Shaddai the name of God means the All Sufficient One. All the archangels have the name of God! MichaEL, GabriEL, HelEL. God gave Lucifer part of his name! Now the emotional side of this, is before you went through a divorce, in a way Gods been through a divorce. A divorce is when a loved one decides to turn their back on you and this is what Helel did! Walking in someone’s heart is very intimate and then now this created being wants to compete with you and overthrow you imagine how this felt for God. God does have feelings and this gets lost sometimes. God does hurt! Now check this out Ill throw this in for free. Lucifer means ‘Light Bringer’ which can be compared to the planet Venus. It’s funny in Roman folklore Lucifer the light bringer was the name of the planet Venus. Now Venus which outshines ALL the stars in the sky and Lucifer was the most beautiful angel made so you can see the comparisons. Now check this out, Venus compares to lucifer, venus outshines all the stars in the sky UNTIL the sun actually rises and humiliates Venus!!!!!!! Nothing outshines the Son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats it, I love you guys – take care! Coach Jeno
