Grace and Peace to you from the Uncreated Eternal God and our Lord Jesus Christ, may the Wisdom and Guidance of the Holy Spirit be yours in all that you do and may you ever stand in the Assembly of the Righteous as a Divine Agent of Justice and Hope against the shadows, the darkness, and all of the enemies of our God and His good creation.
Today we will briefly describe the inspiration of this essay, the battle we all face, its urgency, and what YOU must do as part of the family of God. It is a family that is facing an enemy that is doing everything it can to wipe out the Family of God and murder the saints and to irreparably mar the Creation of God and Children (both animal and human,) that He loves. It is an enemy that is doing exceedingly well at it. You can learn more about the enemy below in the link of Admitted Goals of Marxists in America but the meme below shows the favorite quote of Marx himself. [NOTE: For a better understanding of why I refer to God as I do and what the emphasis is for ofNaturesGod.com please see: What Is Of Nature’s God About? – ofNaturesGod.com – also, to be clear, I am a Christian Pastor. While most of my formal training is from Christian Scriptures, I have also studied Tao, pagan religions, and other ancient scriptures. Because I believe what St. Paul said that God has revealed himself through nature anyone who has studied their deity through His Creation is studying the God who created the Heavens and the Earth. No matter what they call it. But I am a Christian for a reason. I believe the Judeo-Christian worldview is the most accurate and complete revelation of the Source of All Life that we have. If I didn’t I would follow a different path. All religions are NOT the same and even the Christian religion has aspects that reflect more of human construction than it does of God. The more humans meddle with revelation the farther off track we get. For that reason, I go back to original words in original language a lot because most denominations have wandered far from the scripture IMHO.

BEWARE OF ONLINE CHRISTIANITY AND YOUTUBE! – ofNaturesGod.com]
I believe that part of the reason the enemy is so successful today is because parents, teachers, pastors, churches, and all manner of institutions have failed in their task of formation of character and faith of their charges. They have failed to teach them who we are as both Children of God and as nations formed by the Judeo-Christian and Greaco-Roman/Germanic world-views. World-views that honor individual rights and integrity unlike any other. But this world-view has been under wholesale attack for at least a century (surely since the writings of Karl Marx in the 1800s and definitely since Trotsky and Lenin’s revolution at the beginning of the 20th century. – On my other site I often refer people to American Betrayal by Diana West and “the Naked Communist” by Skousen as sources for just how far and how deep this attack has gone. And make no mistake. The Satanic destruction of “everything that exists” was Karl Marx goal and his literal love letters to Satan prove it. Yet not only Americans but most citizens of the Free World are completely ignorant of this fact. Worse, not even Christians have been educated on the hatred Marx had for God and his entire Creation and far too many churches conspire to spread the pleasant (but deadly) fiction that Evil is not real (or that it at least is “only” in the spiritual realm and people are “in the grey.” [See more here: Who Are the Children of God? – ofNaturesGod.com ]
Yet we have saints who have dedicated themselves to good and who do their best to dwell in the light. Given that, and what we know of serial killers, and the dark triad of personality traits, we likewise know that there are people who give themselves over to evil and one or more of the seven deadly sins. This essay invites you to join the Saints of God in the battle for God’s plan and will give you tools for you to begin fortifying your life and those out front in this war to protect yourself, your family, your nation, and the Creation and Mission of God.
Yes, we can sit back on our butts and not care that Our Father is in a fight for His kingdom. Some children are that disrespectful to their fathers or their mothers, if not both. But we know what Jesus will say to them on that day because he told us. Many of you have heard my story as to how, as a boy, I came to realize why God wants us to join him in the Tikkun Olam, the repair of the world but here it is again:
As a boy my family raised rabbits. Often on a Sunday my father and I would make a rabbit cage because rabbits have a habit of multiplying and we would need more. On a Sunday afternoon my dad and I could make one or maybe two rabbit hutches (they were deluxe rabbit hutches and other breeders really liked the way my dad designed them – I haven’t seen any as good since for ease of cleaning, service, and room for the rabbits to frolic.) One Sunday I REALLY wanted to go play Avalon Hill wargames with my friends. My Dad was clearly saddened that we would not spend the day together, but he let me go. When I got back that evening, my father, by himself, without having to help me, had made 3 rabbit hutches. He NEVER needed my help; he WANTED my help. In the same way God doesn’t need our help in his war to defeat Satan and restore the Creation, he invites us to help him, and he wants us to want to join him as members of the family of God in all that He does. This marks the difference between the Children of the Living God and those who just attend church and have their name on the Church roll. With these prayers and the attached plan, you can participate in the battle that is raging now for Freedom and liberty and to restore America as the Shining City on the Hill that God intended it to be…that all the founding Fathers believed God intended it to be.
ofNaturesGod.com is here for you inviting you to become a Neo-Templar in the war against evil and those who have betrayed the Divine by their inaction or by leading others into error. To become someone who uses their faith and will to stand in the gap and to stand for what is right. There are many traitors of the Divine who will opposes us as well as those who are simply decieved and who have been led into perdition. The Bible tells us that there are many who WILL NOT be saved even when they have been offered a chance at salvation.
We here at OfNaturesGod.com don’t have all the answers but we serve the ONE who does. The Source, the Ground of all Being, the Uncreated God THE ELOHIM of Elohim who presides over the Assembly of all the Elohim, the celestial beings who He Himself created to administer the Universe with Him in community even as he invites us to be a part of that community. [For a brief Explanation of the term Elohim and how it is used in the Bible -not as popularly used in many denominations but actually used in the Bible – see: Who Are the Gods? – ofNaturesGod.com and here: I AM A SKEPTIC, BUT ARE YOU? – ofNaturesGod.com ] But we are at war for there are those of that assembly who rebelled against the Creator and are waging cruel war against all of Creation, goodness, liberty, and truth.
Today’s post was inspired by the video linked below from Mikaila Peterson (daughter of Jordan Peterson,) who described what her family has been through. You know, True Believers that God has blessed me with a gift of discernment and as I listened to her I was absolutely certain that she and her family were under spiritual attack by the servants of The Enemy. God also made clear to me precisely how important this family, its activity, and its continued health is for the current war that we are engaged in Against This Present Darkness. It is for this reason that evil men and women, useful idiots, demonic beings, (and yes what some would call sorcerors,) are arrayed against them and others who are leading in this fight against darkness and chaos. [For more on this see also: Against the Darkness! – ofNaturesGod.com ]
There are those of you who are aware that I have more experience in Spiritual Warfare against the Servants of the Enemy (both physical and metaphysical,) than most people find comfortable to talk about or that is common in our society. You may never have been called, like me, into either the ministry or into the military to engage in physical or spiritual warfare but we are all called to lend our prayerful support to those who do. That is what it means to be part of the Communion of Saints, who are part of the Church and who continue to be part of the Church whether they are in this life and the next.
For whatever reason, God has decreed that we are participants in the Tikkun Olam (the Repair of the World,) and if we fail to do our part in the whole Body of Christ than it will get quite dark indeed because God gives us a role to play and if we don’t play it things don’t get done. [See also: Tested and Proven in Struggle As Children of the Living God – ofNaturesGod.com ]
The battle lines are being drawn but most Christians are not engaged. They are sitting quietly in the pews of their churches and homes opting out of this fight because, as Charlie Kirk demonstrated with his martyrdom, this fight is dangerous. But it is even more dangerous for us if we don’t fight. Too many, don’t know what to do because their churches have failed to prepare them to be part of the Church Embattled (this has a very specific meaning and all Christians should understand the reference – if you don’t then your church has failed you and prepared you with an empty Gospel that holds no power.) [For those who have bought the modern Lie about “Separation of Church and State,” and don’t like my using prayers for political realities, you need to understand that ‘Separation of Church and State” was never about “suppressing” religious practice in government. It was about not approving one Christian Denomination over another as they had done in Europe and as had caused so many to flee Europe for America in the first place. They were sick of being told how, when, and where to worship God and the founders of America wanted none of that here. The modern lie is all about the suppression of religious expression and Jefferson would not have approved. You can read about why we changed our understanding of what Jefferson originally said (where he was promising a particular sect in America that American Government would never suppress their religious practice because we did not support any one denomination or understanding of Christianity and had “separation of Church and State” this phrase was mutated to serve a very different purpose for a reason ad the reason is explained here: Admitted Goals of Marxists in America – SabersEdge – Cutting Through Lies to Get to Truth – Reforging Foundations and more about my view here: WHAT IS YOUR WORLDVIEW? Part 1 – ofNaturesGod.com ]
Our participation in this prayerful fight is a matter of utmost importance. Today we are seeing a resurgence of Faith but it is in the context of a plethora of lies and devastating campaigns of The Enemy to destroy freedom and truth and warp faith itself.
The war against Evil is being waged in the halls of congress and parliament, among government officials, academics, in the media, in our families nuclear and extended, at our jobs between bosses, and employees, customers, and in the churches themselves…ALL of these venues have been inflitrated by the agents of the Enemy from the halls of the Vatican to our courts of law. We are in a critical time and God calls all of us to choose whom we shall serve. There is NO CHOICE to do nothing. THAT choice serves the Enemy and marks you as his rather than God’s.
These are prayers that will allow you to fortify your lives and aid in the fight. They have a long history and have been spoken for centuries by the Saints of God embattled in this war. Now you must join them. Don’t try to do them all at once. Read through them. Start with the prayer for the Peterson family, pray it every day. Then, when you are ready. Add one more, or have a Monday Prayer, a Tuesday Prayer, etc. Perhaps a Morning Prayer, an Evening Prayer and a night Prayer. Work them into your schedule in a way that matches the rhythm of your life. If you stumble and forget, don’t beat yourself up, just start over once again. God is gracious. Our enemy is not.

I arise today through the strength of heaven; light of sun, brilliance of moon, splendor of fire, speed of lightning, swiftness of wind, depth of sea, stability of earth, firmness of rock. I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me; God’s power to sustain me… Christ’s shield to protect me and my family… against all snares of death and man and woman, against all poisons poured upon me from the viper and toxins, from the core and the serpent… Christ to shield me today against poison, against burning, against drowning, against wounding, so that there may come to me abundance of reward.

Grant that its members may be united in Thy will, shielded from discord and error, and strengthened to carry out their mission for Thy greater glory in the preservation of life, liberty, and restoring America as a Shining City on a hill. Send Thy angels to guard them against all adversities, foil their adversaries, disrupt the plans of the Enemy and his minions and let Thy Spirit guide their endeavors. Amen

And we ask, Lord, that you make us instrument of Thy peace and thy justice. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. Through the intercession of St. Francis, grant Thy protection to all those for whom I pray, that they may be shielded from evil and filled with Thy grace. Amen.

Through the intercession of St. Augustine, restore the true faith and complete faith of the entire scriptures and grant that Thy Church may be a beacon of truth and a refuge for all who seek Thee, protected from the assaults and machinations of the enemy. Amen
With these prayers you are armed to raise intercessory prayers for our nation and our leaders to help guide our country back into being the “Shining City on the Hill” that our founders intended it to be. Increase the prayers you pray for our nation and our leaders until you are praying every day or even multiple times a day for our country. Pray and keep praying for every day of your life for our enemy never sleeps and he is constantly seeking our ruin. Christ calls us to be innocent as doves but wise as serpents for our enemy prowld about like a roaring lion seeking victims to devour.
Far from what our society tells us. Our lives are not meaningless and we CAN make a difference. The Bible says that where two or three are gathered in my name God will be with us and hear our prayers. Further, experiments with mental connection done by the military have shown that distance is irrelevant to the unseen forces that we are talking about. There are reasons in physics for this but suffice to say that if we are praying together with others from ofNaturesGod.com – even if we are alone or with just our family in our own home – God still sees us as “praying together” and gathering in his name. This does not exclude us from needing to be part of a faith community – we are physical creatures and have physical needs for companionship, touch, and relationship and without those things our bodies and minds don’t function correctly. But the existence of the Church transcends physical presence. It is stronger (I believe,) when we are physically together (so if you want to start a prayer group go for it and hold each other accountable for your daily prayers and time with God,) but the Church is always linked spiritually as the body of Christ. Below I am including the Complete Prayer of Saint Patrick because working with the excerpt made me think back to the entire prayer. It is rather long but, if you want, you can throw that into your prayer life as well. If nothing else, maybe say it as a family on St. Patrick’s Day.
Until Next time my God be with you. Fear not little flock, for it is your father’s good pleasure to give YOU the Kingdom…and you are not alone. – Pastor Daniel
Complete Breastplate Prayer of Saint Patrick:
St. Patrick’s Breastplate (Lorica of St. Patrick)St. Patrick’s Breastplate, also known as the Lorica (whick is Latin for “breastplate” or “armor”), is an ancient Irish prayer attributed to St. Patrick (c. 385–461 AD), the patron saint of Ireland. It is a powerful invocation for God’s protection against spiritual and physical dangers, drawing on Christian doctrine, the created order God te natural world, and heavenly powers. The prayer is preserved in the 9th-century Book of Armagh and is said to have been recited by Patrick before confronting the Irish high king Loegaire. It echoes the biblical imagery of the “armor of God” in Ephesians 6:10–18.The full traditional text, as commonly rendered in English translations (based on the Old Irish original), is as follows. This version follows the metrical structure often used in hymnals, with refrains for recitation.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation. I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom. I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men. I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock. I arise today
Through God’s strength to pilot me:
God’s power to sustain me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptation of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
Afar and near. I summon today
All these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel and merciless power
That may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of paganism,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that endangers man’s body and soul. Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me an abundance of reward. Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me. I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness,
Of the Creator of creation. Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of the Christ.
May Thy Salvation, O Lord, be ever with us.
This prayer is often recited as a litany for daily protection, especially in times of trial. Shorter versions exist (as seen above) but this version is the complete traditional form. – Children of the Living God, Go with God to love and serve the Lord.
