Died or not? Dead! What pierced? Stone. Was it not
the armalite, it is also a stone? But it was a lead
stone. It is a stone. A pressurized stone. The
principle of gun come from stone, right? But
pressurized. Did it pierce? If the stone penetrated
them, wasn’t it that an armalite will become more
piercing to Stephen? He died. He fell asleep,
according to the Bible.
I want to show you something, the promise of God,
God does not break promises. It is not God who
breaks promises but we should not interpret
literally what God said. There are no weapons formed
against you will prosper. Including the tongue of
the one to say same thing against you by judging
will be judged, God said.
It can’t be literal because if literal, why do the
Israelites got pierced, John the Baptist is an
Israelite, Christ is an Israelite, Stephen was
Israelite; these Israelites were pierced right? So
it is not literal. What is the meaning of the
statement of God that weapons formed against you
will never prosper? And why do the enemies have
weapons and that is the weapon of the Christians? It
is because there is a battle. What is the weapon?
Let us read Ephesians 6:12:
“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.”
What battle do the servants of God do? Our battle is
spiritual. Because our battle is spiritual, the
battle for the evil spirits up above is also
spiritual, the higher authorities.
You know, in the world, we can’t only realize the
reason why people do not become good because we have
enemies in the higher authorities called by the
Bible, the evil spirits up above that turned bad and
became devils.
Our enemies are spirits. That is why our battle is
spiritual, not the battle with guns and armalite.
Not that. That is not the fight of the Christians. I
don’t expect that the promise of God that you won’t
be pierced by weapons is material weapon because
that fight is not material.
This is the heritage of the servants of God as said.
Is Christ a servant of God or not? Was he pierced?
Pierced. John the Baptist, can you question his
being God’s servant? Pierced or not? Pierced. And
you, you won’t be pierced? Meaning, you are greater
than Christ? Or you have a wrong interpretation?
Really Wrong. Why? The battle is spiritual. Because
the enemy is spirit. Our enemy is the devil, the
spiritual leader of the darkness of this world
including the angels. It is called the power of the
wind, right? Let us read on Ephesians 2:2:
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the
course of this world, according to the prince of the
power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
children of disobedience.”
That is why man keeps on disobeying. So what should
be fought is the highest power of the devil. That is
the truth that cannot be denied.
There was this teacher which I pity. She was proven
to have amassed P32,000 and she was jailed. Almost
20 years or more? She confessed she was tempted
because of the difficulty in life. For that measly
amount of P32,000 she was jailed. But ironically,
there are those who are amassing billions and
billions of pesos and never got imprisoned or
jailed. Why? Others have higher stature in our
society.
That is why me, if I don’t see complaints on a
high-ranking official, I really respect him so much.
So if his name is cleared, okay. But as long as it
is not clear my chest thumps.
Will I vote this, when it is known that he is
connected with drug-dealing? What if this wins and
put to position? All Filipinos might become drug
addict, right? That is why I don’t want to be linked
to drug addicts. They say drug addicts has glaring
eyes. It kills mothers and father. Does an addict
have sin? No. It is not the addicts who have the
greatest sin. The one at fault there are the
protectors of those drug syndicates.
Others are the ones at fault but cleared are the
ones under. Clean first the ones on top and there
will be no dirt to fall down if the top most part is
clean. Is it not my countrymen?
What do I mean? For Christians what we fight against
is not man, not flesh and blood. Our enemy is the
one that makes a man evil, the evil spirit in high
places, according to Paul. As said in Ephesians
6:12:
“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.”
We don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. That is
not our battle. Our battle is spiritual.
If you put in spiritual—God said to his apostles.
There is no weapon formed against you that will
prosper—will the evil created by satan pierced? Is
there an evil created by satan to pierce if you are
a servant of God?
Call all sorcerers. Make a doll that exactly looks
like a servant of God, then pierce the throat, see
if it will take effect. Use all types of
superstitious healing, all the devices of devils, do
them, those are the weapons of evil, those are
already black magic, has love charms, etc. Will that
affect the servants of God? Will that affect? Let us
read if it will affect. In 1 John 5:18:
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not;
but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and
that wicked one toucheth him not.”
Will it pierce? You will not be touched by devil if
you are a servant. He will not be touched by evil.
