In the movie there are people who manifest demons,
who practice witchcraft,
who are stuck in prostitution,
who was one of the 5 brides of satan.
A war.
A war is going on, and i didn't care.
It's so easy for me to not see the depth of the world race.
Oh, i say, sure, it's going to be hard because
i dont have my family and friends around.
That's not why it's going to be hard.
It's going to be hard because we're going into places that satan has grabbed by hand.
Because the spirtitual warfare inside of these places is so dark
it's hard to see any light at all.
I didnt realize the gravity of this situation that is going on as i write this.
God is preparing my heart for the darkness.
He's preparing me, and the rest of the squads to enter into war.
He speaks so clearly to me on this subject now.
The war isn't just in the countries we're stepping in,
it's right here, in America.
Satan has done his freaking job here.
Even us, the Christ followers are blinded.
We don't see anything we don't want to.
Ignorance is truly bliss.
knowledge requires responsiblity.
We don't want responsiblity.
We want easy Christianity.
We want to go to church on sunday's, maybe have a nice bible study.
Go to coffee with our friends,
maybe pray for a someone who's family is struggling.
But,
We don't want demon manifestations.
We don't want to hear the prostitutes cry.
Or the Children that are forced to kill their own family.
Or the drug addicts who only want a savior,
but their savior isn't cutting it anymore.
We don't want to hear them,
we shut them out because we think someone else will deal with them.
It's not someone else's problem,
IT'S OURS.
"The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fireprepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
–Matthew 25:40-45
We need to wake up, church,
because there is war going on around us
and we're enlisted.
We have the power that satan does not.
The power of Love.
Jesus Christ loves,
his love has no limits or expectations.
I want to learn how to love with no agenda.
I want to love someone not because i want to save them,
but because Jesus loves them.
I want to love people exactly how they are,
and let Him come in and change them.
That is how we win the war, people.
Not by condemnation,
or judgement,
or writing them off.
Let's remember who we are actually worshipping,
Jesus,
not ourselves.
There is a damn war going on out there,
you need to get ready to fight it.
(to put a little humor in this blog)
Sorry, one of my squad-mates uploaded this picture and it's too good to not use somewhere.
Phil has the love of Jesus written on his face, let's do this.
