Warfare

We can't turn on any type of media and not see some type of loss or suffering. Death and murder has become a very big part of our lives. During all this it is easy to lose focus and begin to look at the devastation, injustice, evilness that is so prevalent in this world. 
But I am here to tell you we can have peace in these times.  We can have a joy that goes beyond anything we may endure.  As our hearts break for this nation and for those families affected by all these recent events, we have one that has overcome this world! One who has conquered the grave and death!  One who gives us peace, but not as the world gives it.  We must be the light of this world during these dark times!  We have allowed our lanterns to run dry!  We have hidden the light and failed to show it to this dieing world!  If we want to see change than we must change the way we are doing things!  We must allow God to work through us to be His hands and feet!  We are engaged in a spiritual battle that goes beyond any man made division!    Satan knows his time is short, so he is doing all he can do to draw people away from the grace of God!   We must morn for those who morn, but show Christ in all we do!  We must reignite the fire that dwells with in us! We need to insure our lamps are full! We must be vigilant for our adversary the devil prowls around as a roaring lion seeking who he may devour!   But He that is in us is greater than the world!  Put on the whole armor of God!  The battle is only going to get more intense! Yet never forget though we wage in a spiritual warfare, Christ has already won the war!
