Spiritual Laws In Effect

Satan is a created being.  He does nothing original.  What he does do is copy everything that God created.  That includes his use of Spiritual Laws. 


I was talking with a pastor here in Jujuy today about the need to get more Argentine Church Planters moving up to join the team in Jujuy.  There are only 4 A/G churches for 700,000 people in the entire province.  Even if you include all protestant churches, I have not been able to find even 31 so far in the capital - the number of different "Barrios"/ neighborhoods that we have here - at about an average of 10,000 per barrio.  Not even 1 church for every 10,000 people!  Incredible! 

Anyway, he was talking about how Jujuy is such a spiritually difficult place.  It is a center for occult activity, animistic religions from the ancestral past of the area, etc.  There is a lot of "brujeria"/ witchcraft here.  He was sharing a recent success story with me about a young lady who recently got into a right relationship with God and God is transforming the entire family.  They are all steeped in witchcraft and occultic practices.  This very girl had done astral projection and other similar occultic practices.  These are not your local high school kids "thinking" they are cool and trying have a little coven.  They are serious and the real deal. 

She talked about how they took very seriously the power of the spiritual realm & how they worked hard at their version of spiritual disciplines, such as fasting and prayer, to grow in their dark side of spiritual power.  The pastor and I talked about how so many Christians are just content to be in God's family, but aren't necessarily taking His Mission seriously.  So many don't LIVE to follow His will, and do His will to advance His Kingdom, His purposes, but rather just want for God to bless them and theirs. 

What the "dark side" has is a cheap copy of the original.  But they tend to take it so much more seriously than most followers of Jesus do.  Somehow we have to ramp it up, to get people focused of God's agenda and being a very active, no, FULLY committed, part of it.  Then we will see true progress being made in reaching the lost and God transforming peoples' hurting and broken lives here in a spiritually dark place like Jujuy. 

I see a lot more fasting & intercession in my future!  : ) 

Good night all & God bless -
Join the team - get serious about being part of God's team & accomplishing His mission...and not just your own -

Paz y poder en el Espiritu de Dios -
