Holy Warriors We Are!!!

Of what value is it that we who are covered with the armor of our God and armed with the holy weapons of spiritual warfare stand still while the battle of the ages wages around us? If we become comfortable in the security of our own safety while the enemy of our Heavenly Father claims countless victories in the world around us, who will fight the fight as our master watches?

We who are spiritually aware are watching the darkness of sin envelop the world we live in. Who is called to be the light in the world? Where are they that stand as warriors and beacons of God's holy light to roll back the encroaching darkness and vanquish the enemy's growing hoards? If it's not you and I, then who is it that He calls His own and why has He armed us for the battle?

Our fight is not physical and it's not fought with physical things. Our position of strength is not standing with our chest out and sword raised in defiance. This is the world's posture. Our greatest position of strength is on our knees with our heads bowed in reverence to our omnipotent King seeking to fight for the will of our God to be done in the earth and for the souls of our brothers to be saved. Our might is in the example we live in obedience to His Word, and in exercising our choice to fight for the desires of His heart. Our prayers to our God King for His will to be done and for the soul of another are the death knell we deliver to the assassin soldiers of the enemy.

If all of the children of light, the warriors of God are in position, why does the darkness continue to grow in the society we live in? Why do the strongholds of the enemy stand and even gain strength against the all powerful might of our God? Where are His armies? Are we, the ones He has called to fight content to allow our omnipotent King to be called weak because we failed to allow His power to be revealed through us in the world? Are we called to simply be observers? Does the word of our Lord make room for conscientious objectors or noncombatants in the single most important battle of all time for the souls of our God's creation?

The will of our God is worked through us, His children, as we allow ourselves to become conduits of His Holy Spirit. This is the moment, this is the time for all of God's faithful to lend their prayerful voice to the struggle. We are the hands and feet of our God in the earth. In our obedience to Him, we become the mighty soldiers of His army. We are the body of Christ, the most awesome power in all that exists because of His power in us. Together, we are His body, but the body is not whole without all of the parts moving together to accomplish His will. Every toe, every finger is critically important and necessary to perfect His will. It's a time for each of us to search ourselves and ask Him if we are doing our part in His effort and a time to check our own battle posture. We can never allow it be said that our God is weak because we, His body, did not move according to His will. We know that He is the all powerful and all mighty God of the universe, but we are the body through which He works His will. So if there could be any weakness in the army of God, we know that it could never be in Him, only in us, the body if we fail to take our position in the battle. Brothers and sisters, be certain to engage in the fight for the will and the glory of our God to be seen in the world. By His might and His power through us, we can take back the battle field and roll back the encroaching darkness. Never discount the importance of your own prayers to the strength of the body. They are necessary to eliminate the weakness created by their lack in the face of our enemy. Our God is already victorious, but our brothers and sisters fall on the battlefield around us and the world slides further into darkness if we fail Him. Shine warriors of the almighty! Displace the darkness around you where you kneel in prayerful obedience! Grow the light of our God's presence in the world by sharing His holy fire with the unlit candles around you. Engage evermore deeply to fight for His glory! He's called you and I to be His champions, so let us be called good and faithful servants for our Master's cause! Be bold in the power and spirit of our Christ King in the face of our God's less powerful enemy! If the souls of our God's loving creation are lost, let it not be because of our failure, but by their informed choice. Don't be a bystander, fight back! His power is yours!

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
