If we are truly in a warfare, and believe me we are. We should identify those who fight alongside us. 1Th 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
We should not only identify those who help us but we should also know those who do not.
In any battle, it’s imperative to be aware of those who may be stabbing us in the back, especially during a frontal assault. Why? because these are the people who need the most prayer.
During a battle, knowing where the first aid station is- could save you years of heartbreak and devastation. Believe me, I know!
How to recognize the medics
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Dear ones, a person who backbites everyone to you, will also backbite you to others. This Is not a place to receive aid. Know them, and pray for them, but find a faithful soldier for spiritual first aid.
A faithful soldier does not wound another and leave them to die on the battlefield. Knowing those around you is wise. Understanding what their goals are, and who they truly serve is important. Many are just babes in Christ and they do not know better. They have to be taught! Some are career Christians who have been going so long that they basically think they are all that and a big bag of chips.

Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
This Army is meant to fit together in such a way that they would see Jesus in it. Every person in the body supplies something valuable. Your words can kill… Jesus’ words heal! therefore James said The Prayer of Faith
Jas 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
A righteous mans’ prayers, not a well-dressed one, not an educated one, not even a rich one… but he said a righteous mans’ prayers. Send me a person who loves Jesus to stand beside me every time.
This truly is a warfare, be careful who you fight beside…but love them all!
