A time of war, (Eccl. 3:8c)3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 2Cor.10:3-5
The war that I am speaking of today is not the war in Afghanistan, or Somalia, or Kabul, or Israel, no. I'm talking about the war that was waged upon God and the people of God long before you, your parents and even your parents parents breathed their first breath. I'm talking about the war against the rulers of darkness, and wickedness in high places. I'm actually talking about the war occurring in the world that the movie The Matrix speaks of that is just beyond the 20/20 eye's sight. We are at war with the forces that are behind every terrorist act and ponzi scheme. We are at war against the forces that promote murders, lies, cheating, child abuse and abduction. We are raising our voices over & against those that chant wickedness into our society. We are fighting the forces that love divorce and hate marriages. WE are silence the gossipers and back biters with the truth in love. We are fighting the forces that desire to keep us slave to our fears and our pasts, and we are setting captive the will and desire to live for GOD our SAVIOR & REDEEMER. WAKE UP people....we are truly a world at war. Simply because your soul is at stake. Your children's children are at stake. Your neighborhood, your job, your church are all collateral damage if we don't take up the whole armor of GOD & stand affront these forces that desire nothing more than to see us turn against God, one another, and ultimately ourselves.
GOD has not left us defenseless, but equipped us with His WORD (which assures us...He fights for us, and we have to trust that He is fighting for us, and He WONT BE DEFEATED). He's dealt to every man a measure of FAITH (no need to pray for more faith, but rather you'd tap into the ability to TRUST in HIS PROMISES and not view of your current situation) and lastly and most importantly THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (by which we can DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST who STRENGTHENS US. It's by the very same power that rose CHRIST from the dead, that's alive in You & Me.)
So put on the whole armor of GOD and a smile because we are more than conquerors, and GOD is our deliverer, He has declared victory over our enemy. Our job our daily tasks here on Earth is to LOVE GOD enough to devote our lives to serving & trusting Him, and LOVE people enough to serve them in His love. LGLP

Makes me think of Tye Tribbett's "Stand Up" which I think of every time I hear the words, "There's a war going on!"
