A Different Kind of War

You might see or hear either directly or indirectly of violence going on with and around us.

Your response might be that of shock, amazement, anger  and even fear over such violence.

There is so much of it going on and yet very few knowing what to do about it.

Why are we so shocked, amazed or fearful?

Yes, angry, but why don't we know what to do?

Matthew Chapter 24 have we not been warned of these times that were to come?

Matthew 24:6 & 7 " And we will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7."For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places."

Matthew 24:12 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." 

Again, I ask, have we not been warned of these days?

Is this not what we see in our current day?

It is not time to run, hide in fear nor be angry at your neighbor.

It is time however for war!

NO! not with the bullet or the sword.

Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against powers, against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places."

It is not your neighbor that you are to be angry with, but the spirit behind their wicked deeds, which use them for their purpose of destroying human life.

The life God created for mankind.

It's time to wage war! time for spiritual warfare!

Where are the prayer warriors?

Matthew 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."

Is your spouse, child(ren), sibling(s), neighbor(s), family, community, nation worth fighting for? 

Is your life worth fighting for? 

Luke 12:23 "Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing."

We have been promised abundant life, is that not worth fighting for?

Luke 18:1 "...we ought to always pray and not lose heart."

We don't need to wait on the president, the military, for guns, bombs, swords.

Ephesians 6:13 "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." 

The evil day is now, are you armored up and ready to fight a different kind of war?
Be encouraged of the victory we have in our Lord.
Deutoronomy 31:6 " Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the one who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you."
Let us begin to fight this different kind of war.
