into battle

The wiles (death, lies and destruction) of the enemy are ever present amongst us in this world...it is the blatancy of his evil acts that allow us to vividly see his efforts…working his wiles through a people held hostage and consumed with the darkness that is him.

And we appear to be in a period of time where those with spiritual eyes to see are intensely aware of his present workings in and amongst mankind…a tremendous onslaught wrought by the enemy as his time draws ever closer to an end.

So what are we to do?

As Christ's disciples, we are called into battle - the spiritual battle that is fought only upon the battle ground of prayer…an army of knee-bound warriors interceding for all of those around us who live in darkness and are entangled by the shackles that are the enemy's lies….

May we be open to Your leading Lord Jesus and the power of Your Holy Spirit that by Your strength we will stand firm against the enemy of man's soul, fully engaged in battle by the power of Your blood as we fight the good fight of faith.


Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.          

(Eph 6:10-12)

the fear of God...

There is no fear of God before their eyes…

Fear of the one true God – where has it gone? We live in a time where the central theme of our day is that there is no need to fear a God who does not exist and even if God does exist there is no room for Him in the affairs of our daily life – keep Him private and to yourself at home or in your church on Sunday! The prevailing message of those who make it their livelihood to persuade’ others through our media channels is persistently anti-God (more precisely the Judeo/Christian God) – there is surely no fear of God before their eyes!

And how does that affect our world?

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom; the fear of God is what keeps man from utterly destroying everything that is within his reach; the fear of God is the catalyst for the achievements of future generations; the fear of God is what brings grace and mercy to a lost world; the fear of God provides the atmosphere within man to institute and incubate freedom and liberty among men – without the fear of the One True God there is rampant chaos, anarchy, strongholds and enslavement. Watch what is happening in our world today and you will see that humanity has little fear of the One True God.
