What is assassin’s mace? Here’s what the Epoch Times reported:

“For 10 years or more, there have been references to a coming ‘assassin’s mace’ in the Chinese literature—where they take out the United States with one stroke,” Byrne told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program. “The national security community in the United States has been trying to figure this out: Is it their new aircraft carrier? Is that the hypersonic missile? Is it this, that, is it an EMP?”

“I don’t think so, ” he told host Jan Jekielek. “The one stroke that takes the United States out is what we’re experiencing right now.”

The 2020 vote involved “massive election fraud,” he says. “Not voter fraud, but election fraud.”

Byrne has been a driving force in the research for lawsuits filed by attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell.”

Author Diane Rodd read that article and then compiled this response, focusing on how we can win the true battle.

Originally the “mace” was a club, an instrument of war (1) a heavy, often spiked staff or club used esp. in the middle ages for breaking armor. (WAR) (2) Also an ornamental staff borne as a symbol of authority before a public official or a legislative body; (powerless religious and governmental symbols) (3) formerly a rod with a flat wooden head used in billiards instead of a cue. (playing games rather than engaging in SPIRITUAL WARFARE). LOVE enemies; FORGIVE them at all times is POWER from HEAVEN. I must be sure I am filled with the Holy Spirit at all times and in all relationships because it is He who pushes out and removes all doubt, double-mindedness, and unbelief.

The Chinese war against the American people in 2020 came in the form of two weapons: (1) bio-terrorism – a virus of extreme propaganda to weaken the U.S. people with the spirit of fear and the fear of death; and  (2) domestic interference to be sure pro-death people, who are under guilt and condemnation; who are not free in Christ, would be in full governance of all three branches of our elected government as well as keep these foreign and domestic spies in the administration and in education (media and academia, K-PhD, Health and Human Services, etc). These are the plans of satan coming through human beings. If we forget this, we are shooting at the wrong target. We can only “aim” correctly if we have no fear of death as we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

Armor  – David could not wear Saul’s armor; each true child of the faith, all over the earth, has his or her own “tested” armor from past and present, up- to-date) individual victories over satan, the evil one. Jesus’ encounter in the wilderness shows us the invincible armor – one word of God, TRUTH,  that eradicates the lie and removes the deception. Jesus never once defended Himself or exalted Himself as the SON OF GOD to satan. He recognized the bait in every test in the wilderness.  When tests which came at him through human beings, He eventually revealed “I and the Father are One” during the winter feast, the Feast of Dedication. I write this on the last evening of HANUKKAH 2020 (John 10:22-30). Jesus never bit into the devil’s bait or the human bait, and neither should the true followers of Jesus.

Jesus is the stronger ETERNAL One who attacks and overpowers the devil (Luke 11:22). Satan  uses atheistic humanism as a weapon of lies, deception, and false knowledge. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness (repent of every iota of unbelief) and put on the armor of light (Rom 13:12). The full armor of God requires that we stand firm against the schemes of the devil (Eph 6.)  We do not war against any flesh and blood in our spiritual warfare (2 Cor 10:3). Our eyes remain on seeking God’s face, not the faces of other men and women, made in the image of God. These faces are distractions for we see human beings rather than the demons of darkness that are using them to fight against God. We are to cast anything out of every situation that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Cor 10:5).  We have divinely powerful weapons that are destroying the fortresses, countering every false speculation (2 Cor 10:4).  We punish all disobedience (2 Cor 10:6) when  every lofty thing tries to raise itself  up against the knowledge of God by taking every thought of our own captive to the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Cor 10:4- 5). Thoughts come into the mind and out of the mouth, so we punish all disobedience by our own obedience and thus we are able to resist every lie with Jesus Christ who is TRUTH and with the power of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of TRUTH who guides us into all truth.

Believing lying facts brings deception. Believing true facts can bring doubt and discouragement if we are not careful. True facts can change! Lies can never be true facts. TRUTH can never change for TRUTH IS THE TRIUNE CREATOR, REDEEMER, and COMFORTER! We must remember there is not one thing we are facing that doesn’t have a higher weapon in the kingdom of God. We rule and reign from there, not from earthly human intelligence. We just need to believe every promise of God that the Holy Spirit reveals to us when we learn about the natural attacks, disease and data, presently assaulting us through foreign and domestic enemies. These natural facts are being used to convince Americans that God can be defeated; that human beings are more powerful that the Creator. Jesus disarmed rulers and authorities in a public display and triumphed over them (Col 2:15). As we continually believe this truth, we are not to bow to anyone who has inflated visions about his or her plans for this world (Col 2:18).

Each of the united saints of adoption all over the globe are being trained to move up higher, to yield to the righteous scepter from the kingdom of God, to believe and to speak TRUTH  into the air until the principality and power of the air flees.  We cannot rely on anything “human generated” in this battle. We have to be able to do what we see our Father doing; and speak what we hear Father saying. This was Jesus’ pattern and it must be ours. Secret prayer in our own homes gets answered.

Mt 6:5 “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

Mt 6:6 “But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Mt 6:7 “And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.

Mt 6:8 “So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Mt 6:9 “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Mt 6:10 ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.  (Father’s will on earth not satan’s will nor any human’s will)

Mt 6:11 ‘Give us this day our daily bread.

Mt 6:12 ‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (FIRST offensive attack in this battle against evil).

Mt 6:13 ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]’

Mt 6:14 “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Mt 6:15 “But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

Spiritual weapons cannot be forgotten or laid down in our present battle with evil. God’s Word must be believed 100% and obeyed by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. He is God on the earth today and those who do not believe in the Triune God are liars who only have human weapons. Perfect love delivers us from all fears and the fear of death has to be faced over and over until we are totally free of it.

The children of God and the children of the devil are obvious. The one who does not love; the one who hates is a murderer (1 John 3:10, 15). Love has deeds of forgiveness which is truth and truth makes and keeps us free. Love and truth gives us assurance internally at all times.  These spiritual weapon are unseen, but the power from heaven is contained in believing God more than human intellect or our 5 senses.

1Jn 5:5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

1Jn 5:6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

1Jn 5:7 For there are three that testify:

1Jn 5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

1Jn 5:9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

1Jn 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

1Jn 5:11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

1Jn 5:12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

1Jn 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

1Jn 5:14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

1Jn 5:15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

1Jn 5:16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this.

1Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

1Jn 5:18 We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

1Jn 5:19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

1Jn 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

1Jn 5:21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

May we be steadfast against every whisper of the spirit of error. Our confidence is in the SPIRIT of TRUTH, and we are not ashamed of the whole gospel of Christ for it is the power of GOD!
