Colin Powell passed on today. I read in online news that he had been one of our nation's former high ranking military Generals, previously appointed Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the senior ranking member of the U.S. armed forces and top military adviser to 4 separate US Presidents. He sat at the very top of the national security establishment and advised on many levels, in both battlefield and political arenas. He is hailed to have been loyal to his country, a trusted comrade and a highly respected natural leader for political and military affairs, a like-able, dignified man with values and character.
The news article also highlighted:
In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks on the homeland, Powell worked to build an international coalition and used his long military experience to help design a strategy for the war on terrorism. He tried to prepare the country for a different type of war, one where the enemy might be hard to identify.
"I was raised a soldier, and you are trained, there is the enemy occupying a piece of ground. We can define that in time, space and other dimensions, and you can assemble forces and go after it," Powell said at the time. "This is different. The enemy is in many places. The enemy is not looking to be found. The enemy is hidden. The enemy is very often right here within our own country. And so you have to design a campaign plan that goes after that kind of enemy."
I found this so relatable. Not only in the soul battles that have gone through my invisible realm, personally experienced, but also to understand the warriors I know exist in that invisible realm. There is always a readiness at the helm with Angels in the mix. Preparation is ongoing. Knowledge and awareness are part of the foundation. And peace of mind, body and soul are the ultimate achievements. We belong to ourselves. And God. And we have to claim that without an iota of naivete', without hesitation. Awareness is the state of being conscious of something. It is the ability to directly know and perceive, to feel, or to be cognizant of events.
There are so many people unaware of the infiltration of the spiritual activity; I mean this from both sides of good and evil. Through vices alone the enemy enters ~ if people only knew who held dominion over their guilty pleasures; if they only knew what those kinds of lords looked like. They would shudder and drop everything to turn to the God of Light and Love and Truth without a moment of hesitation.
And if they only understood that trials over our guilt, our sin, our questionable behavior in the soul dimension, that take place on a daily basis because when we pray for recovery or forgiveness or give confession (we don't need a Catholic priest to achieve this by the way), every day each person's band of Light Angels confronts the infiltration of dark angels and intense invisible battles take place. One would never know this. None of this war energy is "felt" by humans but it's true. Every wrongdoing we do to ourselves or others attracts different levels of "demonics" . . . as Angels know them by.
Temptation is the gateway and we have no idea what that kind of influence feels like because it doesn't feel like anything. We think we are making our decisions, living our lives. To a certain degree we are because we have free will but the definition of Influence over one's spirit can go one way or the other, who we hold invisible hands with. Right there we make agreements. Agree to be a junky, a drunk, a thief, a cheater, a gambler, a killer, a sexual addict. Or, we can choose to agree to be healthy, sober, honest, mindful, charitable and good. Maybe not as exciting as living on the edge they say, but I will tell you from teachings I know that once the devil becomes bored with us, he moves on; OR God's Angels forces him to, answering our prayer. And he takes all of his underling troublemakers with him. Nothing infuriates him more than when you don't leave a crack for him to enter through. I know this. I heard the spiritual battle firsthand. He thought he had me like flint. I was a done deal. And that's when God's Angels came to teach me so that I can see the truth as it really is.
Colin Powell has passed on from this life and I'm quite positive he is being assured of the importance of his warrior spirit he worked to instill in others while he was here. He will be of great value to his Holy King. Possibly leading great battles in the dimension where Angels and demons war for humanity's soul because I'm quite sure that the reason he's gone now has nothing to do with how he went.
