Entering the Battlefield.....

As I lay in prayer last night, the Lord began to speak into my Spirit something so profound. Many times when we are called in to the "ministry", we often think we have arrived, but in all actuality the battle has just begun ( everyone is called to minister). It is an enlistment, not by choice, but by command. We are drafted into the work of the Lord, and we must clothe ourselves with his protection and Spirit. Of Course, we can try to run from the call of God, but disobedience can prove to have greater consequences. Each one that comes to the Lord has a destiny to fulfill, and a path to walk.

In this day and time more than ever we need to know who our God is, and what his commandments are. We must be so familiar with his voice and his characteristics that it can't be mistaken for anything else. We must put on the full armor of the Lord, and get and be ready to fight. We must push through, and keep moving because there is an enemy that seeks to destroy. We must be aware, and always on guard...NEVER COMPLACENT...

Complacency is the state of the church world today. We're sitting around peacefully like there is not a care in the world, but the enemy is just a few yards away waiting to pounce. We are being rocked like a baby, and unaware of the war raging on around us. WE must stand and fight, and the only way to do this is, put on the whole armor and GO....

We must wage war on compromise and sin. WE must stand firm on the word of the Lord. WE must be a church of ACTION. The best way to war against this age is to profess the word of the Lord and become as one with our Savior.....Hide in him, Know who his is. .....

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)

10. Finally be strongin the Lord and in his mighty power. 11. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12. For 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 spritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore 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 14. STAND FIRM then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15. and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16. IN addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And 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.

WE MUST put ON the full armor....It is like getting dressed for war. It is an action to be taken, if we are going to have revival within ourselves and then the church...PRAY..PUT ON THE ARMOR...AND GUARD....AND HAVE FAITH..OUR GOD IS ALIVE.....
