Something very strange happened this morning that I can only say that it was directed by the Lord. I was searching in the small Concordance in the back of my New American Standard Bible for some scriptures that says something about that our war is not with flesh and blood but with "?". I could not find what I was looking for but my eyes fell upon these words, "WARS OF THE LORD, BOOK OF". This directed me to Numbers 21:14. I started searching more about what this book could be and found out that this place in the Old Testament is the only reference made to the existence of such a book called "The Book of the Wars of the Lord". This book has been lost, archaeology has not yet uncovered such a book.
As I was looking around on the Internet about this book, I was reading what one of the commenters said on one of the websites. She said that the book was on Amazon? I thought, "How can a book that has been lost for centuries now show up on Amazon?" I was skeptical but fired up my Kindle and searched for the book. Sure enough, there was a book there called "The Book of the Wars of the Lord" by Derek Shaver. I know that this book is not that book mentioned in the Bible but I feel the Lord has lead me to this book for a reason. You can borrow this book if you subscribe to Kindle books, which I first did, but as I started reading it, I decided to go ahead and buy it.
The author of this book, Derek Shaver, much like myself has had unique life experiences that we believe are the Lord's work for a purpose. I see things unfolding before me that I can truthfully say that only God's chosen can believe. Something big is coming that will usher in our Lord Jesus. Jesus is coming soon! GOD WILL ACCOMPLISH IT.

Ephesians 6:12New American Standard Bible (NASB)
12 For our struggle is not against [a]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
It seems appropriate for me to include the verses that surround this verse.

Ephesians 6:10-19New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against [a]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 [b]in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 [c]With all prayer and petition [d]pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, [e]be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, 19 and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
