"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT"
“FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT”

With so many battle fronts both spiritual and in the natural, one has to be totally in tune with the Holy Spirit to know with which battle to engage in sermon and prayer. As only the Holy Spirit can direct, I have been assigned the past two months in prayer and Word with Israel and the many attacks from their seven fronts of battle.
However, the election battle for our nation has at its root the same Satanic power as the battle for the nation of Israel. We, those in this fellowship who faithfully pray for our nation, our elections, our leaders, nations of the world and the nation of Israel, have been called to take the ax to the root and destroy the works of the devil (1 Jo. 3:8) alongside the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
To Iran, the LORD has decreed that “I will break the bow of Elam (Persia- modern Iran), the chief of their might…I will bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven and will scatter them toward all those winds, and there shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam shall not come. I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies… I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger…I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them. I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and princes, says the LORD. It shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam… (Jer. 49: 35-38)
We know the Biden administration has kept billions flowing to Iran. In 2021, there was a $90 Billion bailout to Tehran. In 2023, the Iranian surge in oil exports brought Iran an additional $32 billion to $35 billion. Biden paid $6 billion for the release of the American hostages in 2023. The U.S. has designated nearly one thousand individuals and entities to date connected to terrorism and terrorist financing by the Iranian regime and its proxies, inclusive of Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and the missile attacks on Israel.
This financial propping up of Iran affects the U.S. economy and should be an act of treason.
Hamas in Hebrew means violence, evil, and destruction. It also refers to brutality, immorality, falsehood, lawlessness, injustice, and acts of cruelty, plunder, murder, slaughter, and terror.
In 2007, the Gaza Strip came under the rule of Hamas.
God’s Word is filled with multiple layers of meaning and is given by the One with knowledge of all events--- past, present, and future.
Ps. 140:1: Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent (hamas) man .
Violence occurs 60 times in the K.J.V. Every time the Hebrew word for violence is hamas.
Amos 1:6Thus says the LORD:
“For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity..,. And the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord GOD.
The Hamas terrorist organization and its leaders have been destroyed by Israel. The war will not be over until the captives have been returned, and Hamas is totally annihilated.
Isa. 60:18: Violence (hamas) shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
But, in order to stop the terror, Israel has to chop the head off the dragon/snake. Iran is the head of the snake.
The Biden Administration has been financing the head of the snake and at the same time supplying arms to Israel. The Biden Administration has been supporting the war in Ukraine. Our government has been spending our gold, silver, and treasure to support the god of forces (Dan. 11:38), the god of war. Why would the U.S.A. ask Israel to not strike the oil fields of Iran? The oil of Iran is money supporting the wars.
Why is Kamala making abortion the focus of her closing argument before the Nov. election? Why would she chastise the two University of Wisconsin students who shouted “Jesus is Lord, Christ is King” at her rally? She actually told them they were at the wrong rally. This is the voice of Satan speaking through her. She is totally demon possessed.
When I sat down to my computer to start typing this message, it was my intent to encourage the Body of Christ in the face of the many judgments in the earth and the judgments yet to come. If the Church in the U.S. and internationally does not know it is in a spiritual battle, it will be in a natural battle if Harris gets elected. The Biden administration has purposely and intentionally weakened our nation. Their objective is to crash the dollar. They may try before Biden leaves office.
“Victory requires a fight.” (Cahn)
I have been encouraging our church to accept and recognize our appointed destiny. We have been chosen to live, minister, intercede, and decree God’s words and purposes in a time of judgment. Out of the judgment will come a great revival/Great Harvest.
Cahn: “The people of God must all the more fervently pray for, believe for, work for, and spread the gospel of salvation for revival.
Where the Spirit is, there is revival. If the Spirit is given in the end times, then revival must also come. We must never lose hope in that. We must never give up praying for revival.”
Whatever we earnestly pray for according to God’s will, …will be birthed by our prayers. The Lord will give us the burden to pray and birth forth His purposes on the earth.
“With God, all things are possible.”
Cahn: “ It is impossible for a universe to come forth out of nothing, for a sea to part in two, for a man to shut up the heavens, for a virgin to conceive a child, for the dead to rise to life, for a weak and broken band of disciples to change the world, and for a nation that has been dead for two thousand years to come back to life. But God is the God of the impossible. And those who follow Him, especially in times of adversity and impossibilities, must live against the odds, above the laws of the natural, and by the power of the impossible.
With God, all things are possible (only believe) and nothing will be impossible. The outpouring of the Spirit is a sign of that. The Spirit imparts the power to do what is impossible to be done. The end-times will present the people of God with impossibilities. But the Spirit of God will give us the power to do the impossible. Therefore, we must commit to believing the impossible, praying for the impossible, living in the impossible, moving in the impossible, doing the impossible, and overcoming in the impossible.” (Only Believe).
“God is the Almighty ---the all-powerful. There is no greater power. God is good. Therefore, the good in the end will prevail. Evil cannot endure or prevail in the end ---but only for a moment. In that moment when evil appears to thrive and reign and prevail and when the purposes of God do not, it is then that the righteous must stand strong and hold on to the fact that the goodness of God will win over evil.
It is for a moment when the battle is at its strongest, that we appear to be on the losing side, that is when we hold fast and in confidence that we are on the winning side and on the right side of eternity. We live not for the moment but for eternity.
When Moses stood before Pharoah, he did not look as if he was on the winning side ---but he was. When Elijah stood before King Ahab, he did not look as if he was on the winning side, but he was. Wen Jeremiah stood in his prison cell; he did not look as if he was on the winning side --- but he was. When Paul stood in chains and on trial for his life, he did not look as if he was on the winning side ---but he was.
So, it has been for the righteous of God, His people will appear as weak…but it is an illusion. The will of God will, in the end, prevail. The purpose of God will come to pass. The Word of God will be fulfilled. The light of God will overcome the darkness. The love of God will overcome all things. And the one who lives in these things will prevail. The people of God must hold to that truth and live in that confidence that we are on the winning side because we are.”
The church will prevail and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. the nation of Israel will prevail and the gates of Hell will not prevail against the nation.
“So long as the sun and moon and stars give light to the earth and the laws of nature are upheld, so the children of Israel, the Jewish people will not cease from existing (Jer. 31:35-36) …They will endure. They will exist because God is real. The Word of God is true. The promises of God are good. His faithfulness never ends. His love endures forever.
God has kept his promises to Israel. He will certainly keep his promise to the church which Jesus Christ established on earth.”
Let the church arise with the same warrior spirit as Donald John Trump. When he was shot and down, not realizing the extent of his injury or how many more bullets were coming, His battle cry was “Fight, fight, Fight.”
“Overcoming requires that which must be overcome. Victory requires a fight. We cannot fear the fight, the adversity, the attacks, or the battle. For they are the very things that make it possible for us to become victorious.”
We must not operate from a place of fear. We must operate from the realm of a victory already won.
“Church, press on in confidence, in courage, in love, in the true the right, the heavenly, and the good. No matter what, press on. For the good will prevail and the love of God will not give up. All who keep running will win the race. All who keep fighting will win the battle. All who press on in the power of the Lamb will be victorious.”
I believe Trump will win this election. If for some reason, by hook or crook Harris wins, Trump still wins. He has restored a warrior spirit to the United States. Ministries like Flash-Point Army, Prayer-Net, I-Pray, Tim Sheets, and Dutch Sheets, Elijah List and many others have risen out of the rubble of apathy, appeasement, and passivity in the church. Eastgate has always been in that army, but now there are many groups all over the U.S.A. and the world who are part of the end-time army. A move of God has emerged from the adversity, persecution, and lawlessness. It is a fighting army. We are a spiritual force of revival that cannot and will not be stopped. We are marching across this land decreeing the Words and Will of God our Savior.
