We need more martyrs and less
trouble starters...
"For though we walk in the flesh, we are
not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not
of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments
and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every
thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when
your obedience is complete." (2 Corinthians 10:3-6 ESV)
"The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works
of darkness and put on the armor of light." (Romans 13:12)
"Is not my word like fire,
declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?"
(Jeremiah 23:29)
We need to get about the King's
business, and we need to do it without the weaponry of the flesh. To add wrong
weaponry in the challenge of wickedness is to add to wickedness, not defeat it.
Lord, raise up Christian
soldiers, and give us the spiritual sense to fight the good fight with divine
power and righteous weaponry. First, Lord, give us the wisdom to look within,
and war well there, taking our own thoughts captive to Your obedience. Then,
Father God, give us the strength to cast off the works of darkness and put on
the armor of light. Make us heralds of Your word and trust You to use it for
Your glory and the good of You Church.
