The Call to Arms

Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics^[g] of the Devil. Ephesians 6:11

Christianity is a battleground! Anything short of that and it’s not Christianity! Don’t you hear the Holy Spirit screaming to you “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT?” We’re called to put on the armour of the Lord, Paul never tells us that there’s a moment when we can take it off! We are in a battle against a spiritual warfare, a war against ourselves, a war against the temptations of the devil. If you want peace in Christ, then clear a path for war! You will have to fight, against everything you enjoyed whilst in the shackles of death.

What is at stake? Your life! Your eternal life and the grand prize is the kingdom of God! Now, before anyone accuses me of a works based gospel, let me say that the only WAY we can fight IS because Christ has set us free from our depraved selves!  So we need to fight! Fight against the thoughts of adultery in your minds, fight against slander, fight against gossip, fight against selfish ambition, fight against all things folly and fight against false doctrine!

We must fight! Our new birth in Christ is an awakening to fight against sin and to fight against the devils flattering calls! Ask yourself, are you fighting? What kind of soldier is administered a weapon and doesn’t use it? He’s no soldier at all! But you Christian have been given the word of God! It’s the most powerful weapon that echo’s into eternity.

We must fight! As Paul says in Romans 8:13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. How I wish Christians would refuse their trivial ways and cling to Christ and His word! If we don’t know the coming of Christ, then we should live like He could come back at any moment! Be ready, be ready for His destruction against all things evil! Be ready to bend your knee to the Lord, be ready by throwing off whatever has taken the throne in your heart and replace it with God’s word!
