WE ARE AT WAR


I’m running out of time to post all the material I want to post before the general election. Therefore, I’m going to post more than one a day when I have opportunity. Today, I’m posting ten. Only the first will have all the material I normally include in a post. Check out all ten. Let’s be able to say on November 3rd that we have begun the process of Taking the Nation Back.

WE ARE AT WAR! I have that sentence hanging on my wall as a daily reminder that WE ARE AT WAR! As Christians, WE ARE AT WAR!

I was asked why I posted what I did on September 30th. The title of the post was “Is Satan real?”. I answered: “because it was the lead-in to my posts for the election on November 2nd.” Satan is Real!

And the people of GOD have been at war with him since the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. (And yes, I believe that was a real event in history.) And yes, we have already won the war. Not by our own power, we could never withstand Satan through our own power. But by the power of GOD—the CREATOR of the universe—we have been victorious.

Paradoxically, the war has been won. It was won with the death, burial, and resurrection of JESUS, the CHRIST, the SON of GOD. And yet the battles of the war, which has already been won, are still going on and will still go on until JESUS comes again to resurrect his people—those who are obedient to his will.

The battles are spiritual but are also being waged in the physical realm. And that’s what the election tomorrow is all about. It is a battle between good and evil. A battle between righteous behavior and unrighteous, sinful, evil behavior. It is a battle for the souls of men and women.

The Apostle Paul wrote: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 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 spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 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. Stand firm then, with the

1) belt of TRUTH buckled around your waist, with the

2) breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, and with your

3) feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the GOSPEL of peace. In addition to all this, take up the

4) shield of FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the

5) helmet of SALVATION and the

6) WORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of GOD. And

7) PRAY in the SPIRIT on all occasions with all kinds prayers and requests.” Ephesians 6: 10-18a (NIV) [My capitalization and my listing of the quoted text—my addition]

A democratic Republic, a free enterprise system (also known as capitalism), and Christianity have one overriding concept in common—the responsibility of the individual. Not the “rights” of the people as conceived by other men or by governments or by Satan—how else can one explain the demented claim that a woman has the “right” to MURDER her own unborn baby—but personal, individual responsibility.

Consequently, Satan wants to dilute the concept of personal responsibility at every turn. Thus, he whispers “It’s not your fault!” You’re not responsible!” “You have the right to MURDER (OK, he doesn’t use the term murder. He doesn’t want people to connect the dots.) your unborn baby!” “Everybody does it!” “Follow the crowd!” “Listen to your peers!” “You just want to have fun!” “You were born that way!” “If it seems right to you, you should be able to do it!” And a whole slew of other distorted concepts which all lead back to not being responsible for your own thoughts and actions.

It is tempting to believe such drivel. But, the results are deadly—both spiritually and for our nation. Fight back against the forces of evil. Vote tomorrow for those who promote righteousness and personal responsibility. It is time to take the nation back and return to GOD’S will.

WE ARE AT WAR!!!
