Jesus Christ speaks to his followers:  

You who are following me can see the road ahead is going to be bumpy. It must be travelled with much care and deliberate maneuvers to succeed in arriving safely at our destination with all your companions in tow. Yes, you are carrying some of the brethren for they are yet too immature to walk this journey on their own. Keep teaching and training them, for those who are willing to hear now will become champions for the truth and warriors with you in the battle ahead. 

What is war? It is two opposing armies or kingdoms fighting for dominance over territory. I have warned that we are now in a spiritual battle for souls, and I have explained to you that the territory we are taking is to win them into God’s Kingdom for eternity. This battle is not for the faint-hearted, but those who have picked up their sword and run into the battle. Speak with the Word upon your lips at every opportunity now, my brethren, for the time of decision has come for many, and they must begin to walk with you toward the light, or they will go down with the darkness. 

Rise up to be my heralds now- call out to all who will turn to hear. Go through your phone lists and begin to call all you know and ask them, “are you connected to Christ”? Tell them there is a war coming and they will be required to stand against evil and choose good and righteousness in the face of much evil and oppression. The first test of what my family really believes will come when they must choose to take or to give in the face of fear. Be givers, my brethren, be like me and like our God. Follow after righteousness, kindness and peace in times of war, and you will prevail. 

Today’s Written Word

Jeramiah 51:20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms

Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

Acts 13:46 Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously, “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.

A Word of Encouragement

Our Lord Jesus Christ who is the head of the body today, tells us it is going to get a bit bumpy, and that we are to continue to train and prepare for the days of war ahead. We are in a battle between two kingdoms – good and evil, and the prized territory we are fighting for is the souls of mankind. Our weapon in this great battle is the sword of the spirit – the Word of God. We can load up on ammunition and let it fly. He encouraged us to speak at every opportunity for these are the days of decision for many to choose eternal life, or go down to eternal darkness. Who will you speak life to today?

An Action Item

Our Lord tells us to go through our phone contacts and start calling all you know and ask them – “are you connected to Christ”? He wants to warn them that there is a war coming and the first test is whether we will be generous and be givers in the face of need, or will we be selfish. As always our Lord gives us the right answer to his question: Be givers, my brethren, be like me and like our God. We are to follow after righteousness, and generosity. We can decide now to be givers then. As always, love and kindness win against evil. Let’s do it!
