Evangelist John Ramirez has come back to social media after taking a few months off of the web. While Ramirez has never been a huge fan of sabbaticals in the past, he says there are times where God hits the stop button in order to make us grow stronger.

“Sometimes God would just hit not only the reset button, but he hits the stop button,” Ramirez says. “It’s like the eagle. I believe the eagle goes through a period of time of flying and hunting…but then it goes through a period…of transformation.”

Ramirez says that sometimes it is critical for believers to go through a time of unplugging and re-connecting with the Lord because we cannot continue life the same way we used to by using yesterday’s tools to fight against the enemy’s attacks.

“The deeper the spiritual warfare, the deeper you’ve got to go with God,” says Ramirez. “You can’t fight [tomorrow’s] spiritual warfare with yesterday’s arsenal, yesterday’s thinking, yesterday’s anointing, strategies of heaven of yesterday. Everything has to be fresh.”

A couple of the pressing moments that Ramirez has experienced in the last few months include two surgeries on his eyesight, the return of his mother’s cancer after celebrating her healing and the immense attacks against his daughter’s mind. However, Ramirez points out that while he has been crushed on all sides, he does not question God. Instead, he keeps praising Him because he knows that Satan wants nothing more than for believers to backslide and doubt God.

God is still the one who sits on the throne, and He is the one who has thoughts and ways much higher than our own.

“He wants you to doubt God. He wants you to put God on trial,” he continues.

Ramirez says that it is God’s promises found in His Word that we can use as weapons of warfare against the enemy. It is only by being rooted and renewed by the Word of God each day that we can truly fight against the schemes of the enemy. Helping other believers stay focused on the Word to effectively fight against the enemy’s tactics is one of the reasons that Ramirez wrote his new book, “Exposing the Devil’s Playbook.”

‘Exposing the Devil’s Playbook’ is going to teach you what is spiritual warfare,” Ramirez says. “Spiritual warfare is prayer.”

Ramirez says the enemy will do everything in his power to keep you from praying because it is through prayer that we draw close to the Lord. It is through the power of prayer that Satan is defeated and Christ is glorified.

No matter if you’ve been in a season of rest, trial, busyness or joy, remember to keep fighting the good fight of faith. We are to be on our guard at all times, in all seasons. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Let your testimony speak of steadfast faith in Christ during both the highs and the lows of life.
