Battle Stations, Battle Stations, Man Your Battle Stations!!!!!

 

Consider this your draft notice. The time has come. The war has been waged for a long time. It is now time to fight. It is now time to arm ourselves. It is now time to pick up our swords. It is now time to answer that battle cry!!!

Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night. Let’s give them all we have and not let Satan have one more soul.  And as we do this may the powers of darkness tremble as our praises to the Lord our God rise. In the bible we are given very specific things that we can do to get ready for our hourly battle. When you get ready in the morning to face this world, let us remember what it says in Ephesians 6:10-18 about the armor of God:

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

 

It is very clear that we must stand firm as those called by God against the evil of this world. As we not only believe, but also submit to God’s perfect will. We can rest assured in our salvation and use it as armor to protect ourselves. And then we must pick up and dust off our swords, which is the word of God, and take it to learn, teach, and use it to bring the word of God to the whole world.

So my fellow warriors, until the whole world hears of His glory. Let’s lift our voices so that the Lord and the world hears us calling out. So that they may know that we are lifting up His name for all to hear the sound of His voice. And like John the Baptist we must be like voices in the wilderness we're crying out as the day draws near. Preparing the road for His return.

Our lord Jesus told us that "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matthew 24:36. Let’s not get caught unprepared. 

So my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, my fellow warriors for Christ, let us go out and do His will and be used to bring others to His loving arms. In Jesus name I pray……Amen.
