Whether it is warfare between nations, spiritual warfare, political warfare or a battle between two players- companies or individuals, economic warfare is a key part of it.
Right now, Iran is fighting America economically. They're doing their best to weaken the American dollar, undermining the US dollar through their control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran is not only fighting through the shooting of missiles, they are fighting the American dollar.
America had been fighting Iran economically too, prior to Iran being struck in what is the U.S and Israel's joint attack against Iran as Operation Epic Fury and Operation Lion's Roar respectively.
The U.S ensured there was a scarcity of the US dollar in Iran which eventually led to the demonstrations going on across the country.
It's been a case of playing a financial chess match.
This is what nations do.
The foreign policies and geopolitical game plan of each nation determines her place in the world.
Nations that are key world powers want their currency to be dominant globally.
America has been world power for so long because the American dollar has been dominant on the global scene as legal trading tender.
If the dollar falls and another currency rises to be used as the accepted trading currency globally, the nation with the strong currency will very like become world power.
When the economy of a nation, society, community, family, or individual is under attack; their ability to compete has been taken away from them. This gives their competition or enemy an advantage.
Resources are needed to compete, finances are needed for relevance, and the competition can win their opposition due to a deep and large war chest.
Lack of resources or a lack of access to resources has ended wars and left the sides without access or a lack thereof, defeated.
Evil men enrich themselves, using poverty has a weapon, to control the narrative politically, to remain relevant, to get the masses to do their bidding and to keep themselves remaining on top.
He who pays the piper dictates the tune.
Crime, fetish works, and all sorts of vices are more common in nations where the poverty level is high.
Even the enemy of our souls knows economic warfare is one of the fastest ways to defeat a destiny or break an individual.
Lack causes suffering, and suffering makes people doubt the faithfulness of God.
Many great ideas that would have opened up industries, revolutionized certain sectors and enriched the one with the dream have remained as ideas without materializing due to economic/financial challenges.
There is an obvious link between our dominion and our financial empowerment.
Financial empowerment helps us do more, it helps us take territories.
Economic freedom gives us choices and cards to operate with in life.
Many great dreams that would have benefitted humanity have either not materialized or the idea and dream stolen from its originator by those who have the resources to make it happen.
Many years ago, when I was younger in age and in the faith I was of the opinion the enemy of our souls didn't care whether we prospered financially or not.
I felt and perhaps I had been taught that our salvation is the only thing the enemy is after.
I assumed its all spiritual and had nothing to do with finances/resources.
At the time I didn't understand the connection between our tangible world and the spiritual dimension.
I felt our finances did not interest the enemy in anyway.
I was naive and young.
Your personal economy is an aspect of your prosperity.
Your prosperity has its place in your destiny.
When the enemy brings warfare against a life, that warfare can manifest in many ways and to any aspect of that life. It can also manifest as financial or economic warfare.
The enemy of our souls is smart enough to know financial warfare causes financial challenges, financial distress, financial pressure, impoverishment and stagnancy which is the fastest way of disarming the opposition and claiming a victory.
Through financial warfare, the enemy smartly takes away your choice.
Finances gives you choices, options and a voice.
It puts you in a strong position.
Your finances matter to your enemy more than you probably realize.
If the enemy can block, resist, and manipulate your flow of economic supply its because he believes he can make you crumble.
He knows economic impoverishment can take away your peace, your joy and cause stagnancy and a loss of opportunities, giving him the edge over you.
Such plans should not prevail against us who are rooted in the Lord.
The enemy doesn't have to have any victory or claim in or over our lives.
Financial warfare brought against you should be resisted, just as you would resist the attacks of the enemy in other areas of your lives.
