Battlegrounds or Theaters of Battle
The theaters of personal battle:
· The mind (2 Corinthians 10:5)
· The body (flesh) (Ephesians 6:10)
· The air (Ephesians 2:2)
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience whenever your obedience is complete.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”
Romans 12:1-3
“You were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the ions (times) of this world (cosmos),
according to the prince of the power (exousias) of the air,
of the spirit that is now energizing in the sons of the rebellious.
Among them, we too all formerly lived in the
lusts/appetites of our flesh,
indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind,
and were by nature children of anger/wrath, even as the rest.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Messiah (by grace you have been saved) and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Yeshua...”
Ephesians 2:1-6
“But if the Spirit of the One having
raised Yeshua from the dead dwells in you,
the One Who raised Messiah from the dead
gives life also to your mortal bodies
via His Spirit Who dwells in you.”
Romans 8:11
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:10-12
“Therefore, take up the full armor of God,
so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.”
Ephesians 6:13-17
The Works of the Evil one:
Satanism
Witchcraft (resident and active)
Temptations
“Then Yeshua was led up by the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
After He had fasted forty days and forty nights,
He then became hungry.
The tempter came and said to Him,
‘If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.’ But He answered and said,
“It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”
Matthew 4:1-4
"Yeshua, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days,
being tempted by the devil.
He ate nothing during those days,
and when they had ended, He became hungry.
The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” And Yeshua answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
Luke 4:1-4
At the end of a 40 day fast, people do not become hungry. It is difficult to eat and one must be very precise in how one eats. This hunger was supernaturally inflicted by the devil.
Foundations for battle champions:
√ Exercise
√ Healthy eating
√ Rest
√ Learning, teachable mind
√ Sunlight
√ The things in life that heal
There's more, but we ran outta time...

October 4, 2024 • Wayne & Stephanie Anderson • 1 Kings 13:1–6, 2 Kings 22
Josiah By Name
Around 920 BC, this took place:
“Now behold, there came a man of Elohim from Judah to Bethel by the word of YeHoVaH, while Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense. He cried against the altar by the word of YeHoVaH and said, “O altar, altar, thus says YeHoVaH, ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you, he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you and human bones shall be burned on you.’”
Then he gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which YeHoVaH has spoken, ‘Behold, the altar shall be split apart, and the ashes which are on it shall be poured out.’” Now, when the king heard the saying of the man of Elohim, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.
The altar also was split apart and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of Elohim had given by the word of YeHoVaH.
The king said to the man of God, “Please entreat YeHoVaH your Elohim, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” So the man of Elohim entreated YeHoVaH, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.”
1 Kings 13:1-6
Josiah was called out by YeHoVaH before he was in his mother’s womb – in fact – before his mother was even born. This incident is around three centuries before Josiah became king.
Josiah’s destiny was set to lead a rebellion against idolatry that Jeroboam began. 300 years later, Josiah began an explosive rebellion and tore down the high places of idol worship.
“Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Jedidah {Hebrew: Yedidah, meaning "beloved"} the daughter of Adaiyah {Hebrew: Adayahu, meaning "adorned is YeHoVaH"} of Bozkath. He did right in the sight of the LORD and walked in all the way of his father David, nor did he turn aside to the right or to the left."
2 Kings 22:1-2

September 27, 2024 • Wayne & Stephanie Anderson • John 3:16
An Everlasting Night
John 3:1-2
There was a man from the Pharisees,
Nicodemus by name, a ruler of the Jews.
This one came to Yehoshua by night and said to Him,
‘Rabbi, we know that You have come as a teacher from God.
For no one is able to do these miraculous signs
which You do, except God be with Him.
Although we are surrounding the most famous verse of scriptures to the “Christian” world, there is much intensity that traditional “Christian” theology completely misses and does not inform the people whom Yeshua loves.
This is one special night.
Please understand that Nicodemus cannot be this man’s name. It is impossible.
Yeshua calls him “the teacher of Israel,” and he is “a ruler of the Jews.” Such a person could never have a Greek name of any kind.
Please try to understand the heart of this man who is deeply entrenched in the religion of Judaism in the most incarcerating ways. He is “the teacher of Israel,” and he is breaking all the political rules that religion establishes by meeting with Yeshua alone and treating Him with love and honor.
Yeshua loves this man, and his name is protected to this day. Two millennia later, we still do not know his name. He is under the shadow of the Almighty.
The meeting that happened on this “Everlasting Night,” changed the world from the moment it happened until now and into the future as long as time exists.
John 3:3-8
“Yeshua answered and said to him, “Amen. Amen.
I say to you, unless one is re-born (re-genesis’d) from
above he cannot see#_ftn1 the Kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his
mother’s womb and be born, can he?”
This is not an intellectual experience. This is not a conversion experience. This is not a religious choice experience.
Colossians 1:12-15
“Giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light, Who delivered#_ftn2 us out of the authority (kingdom) of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins Who is the image of the invisible God, the First-Born of all creation.”
Herein, deliverance shows us that we are re-born from above, being brought forth out of the worldly darkness of evil, and we are given new life in the Father’s Kingdom of Love.
John 3:5-8
Yeshua answered, “Amen, Amen. I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not be amazed that I said to you,
‘You must be reborn from above.’
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it,
but do not know where it comes from and where it is going;
so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
John 3:9-21
“Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?”
Yeshua answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?
Amen. Amen. I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.
If I told you earthly things and you do not believe,
how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
No one has ascended into heaven,
but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.
“For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life.
For God did not send the Son into the world
to judge the world, but that the world
might be saved#_ftn3 through Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged;
he who does not believe has been judged already,
because he has not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God.
This is the judgment, that the Light has
come into the world, and men loved the
darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
For everyone who does evil hates the Light,
and does not come to the Light for fear
that his deeds will be exposed.
But he who practices the truth comes to the Light,
so that his deeds may be manifested as
having been wrought in God.”
