Why do I think it’s a War?

There are many of you out there that have no idea what is going on around you - WE ARE AT WAR! Why am I screaming? I just found out about the blasphemy challenge. Maybe you’ve heard of it - it is the web site that asks people to blaspheme our God for a free DVD produced by atheists and the Satanic Church (not so easy to find that tidbit out but its there) If you don’t believe me, google blasphemy challenge and be prepared to be shocked.

Listen to me - We need to get out there in the streets and in our friend’s and family’s faces. Satan wants to destroy you and them and they can’t be saved if we don’t tell them about Jesus. We have stayed in our churches and homes too long. Satan is moving with great speed to capture the souls of our world. Get out there and get on the offense! Talk about Jesus. Let His light shine forth from your life. Make your character beyond reproach. Get your finances in order (later topic) Raise your children with the only offensive weapon we have against Satan and his very much alive minions and followers, the Word. We are powerless against evil if we stand without God and His holy Word. Grab that sword and get out there! Learn the Word. Learn the Word. Learn the Word. Apply it. Educate yourself to the tactics of the evil one. Get to understand biology, sociology, anthropology, physics, metaphysics, Philosophy…

We only need these extra things to allow us to accurately apply the Sword of the Word If you don’t know those things very well (like I don’t) then use the Word. You don’t have to have a PhD to share the gospel. Share it! Then go educate yourself on the other stuff. I know I need to crack my bible more often. Let’s get into the good book and then get out there and use it!

This is no joke. If you are a Christian then you and I have been saved and called back from eternal damnation that we deserved for such a time as this.

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. - 1Peter 5:8

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, Ephesians 6:12-18a
