Satan's bartizans are the "platform of 3·6·11," the "watchtower of 13·16·19," and the "antenna of the six states of the unbeliever." You must tear down these bartizans of Satan. However, because believers don't have answers, they fall into humanism; legalism; and mysticism. Moreover, they are powerless and are unable to pray. Currently, churches around the world are closing down, and 70 percent of churches are mostly dependent on outside help. Furthermore, because God's bartizans don't exist, most churches are in conflicts. That's why the age of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday must be opened to create the bartizans of daily life and enable people to pray. These "platforms" are Genesis 3:15, Genesis 6:14, Isaiah 7:14, and Matthew 16:16. The "watchtowers" are Genesis 1:3, Isaiah 60:1-2, John 1:11, Matthew 5:13-16, and 1 Peter 2:9. The “antennas" are Calvary, the Mt. of Olives, and Mark's upper room. In addition, the bartizan where spiritual training is provided must be raised. As the “one who remained," you must focus on "Word 24" and prayer. Because you must walk on the pilgrim's path, you need to focus "prayer 25" that transcends. As a conqueror, you must defeat darkness and establish eternal disciples. Then, who is the target of your fight?
1. The Target - Destroy the Bartizan
Wherever you are, you must arm yourself with the full armor of God and tear down Satan's bartizans and the devil's work. The enemy causes believers to fall into the things of the world, (James 4:4) follow the desires of the flesh, (Galatians 5:17) and become seized with worries and unbelief. (1 Peter 5:7~8) In order to resist the devil, you must test and approve God's will; (Romans 12:2) receive guidance from the Holy Spirit; (Galatians 5:16) and submit yourself to God. (James 4:7)
2. Be Armed
In order to resist the devil, “take the helmet of salvation (The Assurance of Salvation) and the sword of the Word"; have the “breastplate of righteousness in place"; "take up the shield of faith"; "buckle the belt of truth around your waist"; and have your feet "fitted with shoes of the Gospel of peace" then pray within the Holy Spirit. Unless you build bartizans like these, you cannot fight Satan.
Satan isn't the target of your fight. You possess the authority of Jesus Christ, the status and authority as a child of God, and the authority of the bartizan to spread this important light. By opening the age of Friday; Saturday; and Sunday, you need to help Remnants realistically pray and receive answers. Furthermore, you must raise bartizans from which the light is shined and spread into their daily lives. By doing this, they'll overcome the world and open their eyes to missions just like the 7 RTs, the people in Hebrews 11, and Paul in the Early Church did.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, at a time when Satan and darkness are using their spiritual powers and transcending time and space to spread spiritual problems to the 237 nations, please help Remnants from all churches; young adults; and church officers build the bartizan of light. Not only having them within me, may these bartizans be built in churches. In addition, when problems come, help me not to be deceived by Satan by thinking about myself and my mistakes. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
