War on Christianity
The Book of Revelation teaches us that in the last days, Satan will rise up in anger and make war “with the remnant.” This remnant, of course, is the body of Christ. This is us, the Christians that belong to God and, any that keep the Commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ in their hearts.
There is talk of spiritual warfare, but the war described in Revelation is a worldwide attack Satan has launched against the body of Christ.
Every believer is a soldier of Christ. Satan is waging his demonic war on true believers. We must each come to the realization that a war is indeed being waged against us and each must arm him/herself with God’s weaponry. That weaponry is God’s Word.
2 Corinthians 10: 3-4 we are human, but we do not wage war with human plans and methods. We use God’s mighty weapons, not mere worldly weapons, to knock down the Devil’s strongholds.
Look at the existing ‘War Zone’ around the world:
In Muslim nations, the spiritual war taking place is on the testimony of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “See me and you see God.”
In Europe , the conflict being waged against the church is a war of secularism. One by one, European nations are becoming totally secular states.
In Sweden , the war taking place involves unbelief. One survey says, ‘Only 20 percent of the Swedish population believes in God.’
In England , the war is a war of apostasy. A nation which was once a light of the world, sending missionaries all over the globe, is rapidly closing most of its churches!
In America , Satan’s war against the church is a continual flood of sensuality and materialism. His weapons, (Satan’s,) are the love of money and addiction to pleasure.
Right now, Satan’s powers of darkness throughout the world are rejoicing. They are so convinced their power is so high and mighty that they cannot be brought down. These demonic forces have infiltrated high places of power: The media, political offices, high courts and the like. Even in religious denominations as their leaders seek to marry gay couples and ordain homosexuals!
All of the demonic principalities have an agenda. They work tirelessly to educate young schoolchildren about the ‘rightness of’ and the ‘duty to tolerate’ homosexuality. They seek to corrode moral values. They work endless hours to ‘pull down’ the saving power of the gospels! In Washington DC we see more and more elected officials try to legalize gay marriages and allow our nation to be seen as weak and ineffectual!
You can almost hear the gloating and boasting of the demonic principalities as the say, “We are winning, we are gaining power and, we will win:”
Happily we know the results of the war. Jesus Christ will prevail!
Corinthians 10:5-6 With these weapons we break down every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God. With these weapons we conquer their rebellious ideas, and
we teach them to obey Christ. And we will punish those who remained disobedient after the rest of you became loyal and obedient.
We all face our private wars and with the Power of God, we will prevail. We will face stronger and, even better thought out attacks against our own minds and souls. Keep the faith and know that Jesus Christ is there for you and He wants others to be brought into His fold. Sow the seed; even in the time of war…it is your weapon!
(Closing prayer)
Father, Almighty God, Power of the world, we praise You and sing of Your Holiness in our hearts. You are our God, there is no other. All glory to You.
Father, we ask that You strengthen our minds and sharpen our weapons which You have provided us to enter into battle within the war brought down upon us by Satan’s demonic forces. Please help us to remain strong and ever vigilant and mindful that You are always with us. Father, thank You for all that You do and will do for us.
Keep us strong in faith, sound in body and always aware that if we should fall, You are there for us and will be quick to grant us mercy for our weaknesses and humanity. You are our God and You are the love of our hearts and minds.
Father, we ask that You protect our military, our Christian brothers and sisters throughout the world, and with the many elected officials who confess their belief in You and Your Son. Be with them and see them safe.
In Jesus’ name we pray, who is One with You and The Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever,
Amen, amen and amen.
