The Strategy of the Hunter (II) First service Apostle Sergio G. Enríquez O. Guatemala, May 22th Year of Abundance
In the middle of the end of times, we see an awakening of people from every tongue, race, tribe and nation; even people from religions that hardly believe that will turn into Christianity, God is reaching them because there is nothing impossible for Him, however the book of Revelations lets us see that there will be many that will stay in the great tribulation to wash their clothes in the blood of the Lamb: Revelations 7:9:14 “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen." Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where they have come?" I said to him, “Sir, you know." And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Today we can see many people that is accepting God in their heart because of an evangelistic movement of a servant that is working hard in not knowing places, one of those places is Africa; there, thousands of persons are turning into Christians, and they are receiving new clothes, but unfortunately they do not have someone to teach them the Word of God about what they need to learn and what they have to do now that they are saved, it is when they are easily trick because regularly they do not have someone who can monitor them. The situation is the next: they are saved but they can be part of what the book of Revelations 7:9-14 says if they do not persevere in seeking more of the Lord. This is why God established five ministries although one of them that is seeing a lot over the world is the evangelistic ministry, also it is necessary to go, the ones that have other ministries so we can teach, the newborn, to fear the Lord because for that is necessary to tithes, congregate, read the Bible and write the Word of the Bible and with that we learn to fear the Lord. The problem is that suddenly it has being seen a battle between the same primary ministers see who is more stunning than others forgetting that each of them has an important function in the work of God, that is why exist five ministries as we already mentioned and each of them with an specific function in such a way that if we do what corresponds the newborn will be properly equipped as we can see in Ephesians 4:11-16 in fact, when we see in the Bible Jesus, preached that the ones that were not Christians could be moved from darkness into light but after he taught the Word so they could not be tricked for the enemy, so in the moment that the enemy comes they could answer as Jesus did: it is written…and with this the enemy will go away from their lives. The problem is that if the newborn do not believe, they will be like the newborn child, that without conscience, they get constantly dirty for anything, even though they will not stop hurting themselves if they do not have somebody to change their clothes or teach them to not get dirty. The same happens with a newborn they need to teach them the word of God to get mature and

when the problems come to his/her life knew that it is necessary that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God, by the contrary, if they not learn, if there´s not a process of maturity when the problems come we could turn back to the world, that is why we need to pass through a tribulation to wash the clothes in the Lamb´s blood , the clothes we received when we accepted Jesus, they are clean but because we didn´t know how to keep them clean we get them dirty. That is why, today, we have the opportunity to learn what we need to do once we have received Jesus in our heart, so we could have the chance to be well equipped, so we could serve the Lord in His work and to know what the devil´s strategy is, to not fall into his traps. II Kings 18:27 “Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine?" Part of the story in this verse is that Rabshakeh was talking in Hebrew so the people could not understand what was going to happen because when somebody is surrounded by the enemy, this person is taken to desperation that´s what the enemy is looking for, so the sons and daughters of God get desperate and then do whatever to get out from that problem no matter what it costs, but that happens as a consequence of being surrounded. if we had the privilege of having accepted Jesus it is not possible that suddenly we turn back to the world or continue in the same religion where God has called us, we need to move forward to the next spiritual level where not only we´ll have new experiences but also will be new enemies as we saw it in the first part of this study where we saw that will be lions, but it is the first strategy that the enemy will use to destroy us, let´s see the next ones: Lions Bulls Dogs Bees Words of hate Bulls We already saw how the enemy works with lions, now is necessary to see what could mean the fact of being surrounded by bulls, for that it is necessary to analyze one situation, sometimes instead of having oxen ministering us, we have bulls. Obviously, when we say there is a bull we are not only referring to the primary ministry but also to his ministerial helpers that God has allowed to be raised. Sometimes the sheep come to ask for help or any advice they found with a bull that ministries fear instead of trust. This is why when a natural bull is castrated not only its character changes but also its way of thinking because the character of that animal changes to a docile nature. In the spiritual what happens is that when people finds in the church that there are only bulls, they prefer to turn back to the world and it is when they have to suffer what is written on II Kings 18:27 all of this take us to see that we are in a process of transformation, even though all the ones that serve in the church need to have a figure of an ox, speaking in a spiritual way, and

consider that we are ministerial helpers from God and consequently we need to be docile and do not treat badly the Lord´s sheep. Psalm 22:12 Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me. Characteristics from Bashan´s cattle: Amos 4:1 "Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to your husbands, ‘Bring that we may drink!' One of the points that we can highlight in this is that the bulls are not interested in the restoration of the ones that are in problems of any kind, they are not interested in the people who is needy and they are being guided by a cow, we can understand with this that the ministry is being guided by a Jezebel spirit through their wives. That is why we need to be filled with God´s presence constantly and be Him the one that guides us in every moment in what we have to do. 1 Co. 9:9-10 For it is written in the Law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain." Is it for oxen that God is concerned? Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher threshes in hope of sharing in the crop.
