Spiritual Warfare and Breaking the Seals of Spiritual Blindness | Word for Now | Apr 21, 2025 | CR

Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Apr 21, 2025 Look around you. Every aspect of creation—from the vastness of the heavens to the intricate design of your own body—testifies to a Creator. Only spiritual darkness could blind someone to this truth. You are engaged in a cosmic battle that began before time and continues through you right now. The spiritual realm operates through a system of principalities and powers that seek dominion over your soul. These powers, symbolized as beasts in scripture—the lion of Babylon, the bear of Persia, the leopard of Greece, and the dreadful beast of Rome—represent Satan's attempts to build his image within you. When you believe God for something promised in His Word that doesn't immediately manifest, you're experiencing tribulation. This delay isn't accidental; dark forces are actively resisting the angelic help dispatched to assist you. Your perseverance through this tribulation isn't meaningless suffering but strategic spiritual warfare. Each time you choose love over anger, forgiveness over vengeance, or faith over doubt during these trials, you're partnering with heaven to dethrone these principalities. When your roommate berates you or your spouse criticizes you, and that still, small voice reminds you to respond with grace—listen. An angel is fighting alongside you, saying, "If you partner with darkness, I will lose this fight, but if you endure to the end, you'll be saved." The breaking of the seven seals described in scripture isn't merely a future global event but a present personal reality—the progressive healing of your spiritual blindness through Holy Spirit outpourings. These awakenings aren't just emotional experiences but strategic advances against the enemy's territory. Current global conflicts reflect this spiritual warfare—ideologies clashing, kingdoms rising and falling—all moving toward a culmination when the Antichrist will emerge as a fusion of all previous dark forces. This final kingdom will wage war against those who keep God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Your daily choices matter eternally. By standing firm on God's Word, meditating on truth, and responding with Christ's character during tribulation, you're participating in heaven's strategy to establish Christ's rule on earth. Each victory in your personal life contributes to the dethroning of these powers and hastens the day when the kingdom of this world becomes the Kingdom of our Lord. The endgame isn't your comfort or prosperity but your transformation into Christ's image. This process requires death to self—embracing tribulation rather than avoiding it—so that His life can manifest through you. As you endure, atmospheric breakthrough will come: revival, outpouring, and ultimately, Christ's return to rule the nations.
