John Ramirez: The Greatest War Ever Exposed – Charisma News

What is the greatest war that the devil wages against the people of God?

In a recent video, evangelist John Ramirez exposes one of the greatest tactics of the enemy against the people of God: the trickery of the mind.

Inside of his new book, “Exposing the Devil’s Playbook,” which releases today, Oct. 1, Ramirez details these tactics of the enemy through the story of Exodus.

“In Exodus 7 and 8 when Moses showed up on the scene with his brother Aaron and he faced Pharaoh and the magicians,” Ramirez begins. “It’s Moses, it’s Aaron and it’s God showing up in the courts of Pharaoh, the witches and the devil. Right there, they show up face-to-face, a battle. And this is what we got through as believers. We’ve got God on our side, we’ve got the Holy Spirit, we’ve got King Jesus on our side. We show up to the battlefield, we show up to the courtyard to fight the devil.”

It was during this epic meeting where Moses asked for Pharaoh to let the Jewish people go out of captivity. During this time, the magicians tried to do the same signs and miracles that Moses did to prove that they had just as much power as God. However, they always fell up short.

“He [Moses] threw the staff down, the staff turned into a serpent, the magicians do the same time. Now, Moses touched the water, it turns into blood, the magicians do the same thing,” Ramirez explains.

“Now, as a Christian you’re saying, ‘What’s going on? I thought God was all powerful.’ Now the devil’s playing with your mind. The devil’s trying to incarcerate your thoughts, bring unbelief [and] false realities in your thinking,” he continues.

This kind of thinking brings us into doubt, making us believe that God isn’t as powerful the other forces in our world. This kind of doubting of God’s goodness and trustworthiness is what we see in Eve when Satan first planted the ‘Did God really say?’ question in her mind. It’s the battle of the mind which we constantly find ourselves in.

“I’m sure Moses and Aaron [were] doubting. ‘Did we hear God? Did God tell us to show up to this battle?’” Ramirez says.

‘You’re wondering, ‘Is God hearing my prayer? Is God as powerful?’” he continues. “That’s when doubt and fear and unbelief grip the believer, and we lose the battle because we don’t wait for the last moment of the battlefield, the last moment of the battle in the battlefield.”

For Christians we must remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. It is the devil’s goal to get us to doubt and stray away from God, but there is nothing too big for our God. There’s nothing impossible for the Creator of heaven and earth.
