Push Forward. There is an increase in destruction all around us and it is all spiraling downwards, with God alone who can save us. This is the time for us as Warriors in Christ to take up our stand on the battle ground, knowing that we have a Father, who has given us His Son, His Holy Spirit, an identity in Him, and all the authority needed (Luke 10:19), to face every challenge, storm and enemy. Being equipped with the full Armour of God (Ephesians 6:10 – 20), we must no longer delay in taking our stand against the enemy. Even if we lose a battle, we will win the war, for the victory already belongs to Jesus Christ our King.
When we know our enemy, we can be proactive and successful in the execution of our strategies. As we step unto the battleground, we must remember who the real enemy is. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). He will use anyone and anything to execute his plan and his master weapon is fear. However, we must remember that when we are saved in Christ, the enemy has no hold on us. We go into battle, without fear, for Perfect Love (Christ) drives out fear (1 John 4:18).
Our aim is to win souls for Christ by sharing the love of Christ, and giving people the truth that the blood of Jesus forgives (1 John 1:9), heals (Isaiah 53:5, Psalm 103:3, 1 Peter 2:24) and sets free (Romans 8:2). We need to remember that nothing, absolutely nothing, can stand against the Word of God (Romans 8:31). We must step unto the battleground, as a united force, saved in the blood of Christ, armed with the Word of God and in the power, authority, and discernment of the Holy Spirit.
Warrior in Christ, now is the time to push forward, being confident that He who began a good work in us, will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). As you fight and fall, do not be discouraged or dismayed, for you will never be where you were yesterday. You need to be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:9), knowing that you are not alone (Joshua 1:5). When you grow tired and weary, take courage from God, who says, that you can do everything through Christ who gives your strength (Philippians 4:13).
Yes, the battle is real, and it is spiritual. There is no more time for games. We need to move in the power of the Holy Spirit, and with the authority that God has given us. We must take our stand in the Spiritual realm, where God’s Angels, stand with us. As you go into battle, remember the battle plan:
Saved in Christ and part of God’s Army, let us as Warriors in Christ, stand up, take our place on the battleground, stand firm in our identity in Christ and remember that we do not fight for power, recognition or economic gain. We fight in God’s Army and through Jesus Christ, we have ALL the POWER, ALL the AUTHORITY, and ALL the STRENGTH to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to demolish ALL the strongholds of the enemy. In Christ we are, unshakable, fearless, and victorious! We FIGHT for the glory of God and we WIN by the grace of God!
