Fight or Die This sounds like a line that could have been delivered in the movie, Braveheart. I can see William Wallace standing in front of the troops, yelling; “they will never take away our freedom, we will either Fight or Die”. It seems so patriotic and noble. Heroes are made from those who have fought and managed to not die. Fight or Die! It’s more than a movie line. I think it should be the motor for Christians. Fight or Die! Fight against the enemy and his schemes at all times, or you will die! Make no bones about it, the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy us. (John 10:10) He wants you DEAD! His goal is to kill your spirit and then physically kill you. His goal is for you to die and end up where he will spend eternity. Are you aware of this? The way I see it, you have two choices – either FIGHT OR DIE! The good news is that God offers you His protection. We know that He is greater and more powerful than satan. He also offers us the assurance of living forever with Him in paradise. But, we have to fight! We have to join in the war and defend ourselves, our Christian brothers and sisters and defend the honor of our King. It’s not going to be a walk in the park, but we are guaranteed success. Even more, God gives us all the tools we will need to defend ourselves against any weapon the enemy will throw at us. He gives us his full armor; helmet of salvation, shield of faith, breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, shoes fitted with the gospel of peace and of course our weapon - the sword of the Spirit – which is the Word of God. (Ephesians 6:12-14) We have all we need to defend ourselves and then we have a weapon to use to slay the enemy with – God’s Word. Sadly, too many of us are unwilling to pick up our sword and fight. We believe we are too busy to learn to use our sword, too civilized to carry our sword and too scared to pull it out and use it, especially in public. Too many Christian soldiers die because they don’t recognize they are in a war. They fail to realize that the only way to defeat the enemy is to become prolific in using their weapon, the Sword of the Spirit, God’s Word. Many people hold to flawed beliefs and think that satan won’t strike an unarmed person. They think he is a gentleman and observes civilized rules of engagement when it comes to military conflict. How wrong they are!! Truth is these are his favorite kind of targets - people who are unwilling to pick up their sword and fight. These people are quick and easy to kill. I beg of you to not be this person! You have to realize we are in a war and the battle never ends. The stakes are high and the consequences are eternal. God never promised us a seat on the sidelines so we can observe the fight. He wants us to be in the middle of the battle holding fast to the mantra and belief that we either - “Fight or Die”! Can you dig it?! Word… Pasta’ Alex posted by Pasta' Alex # 5:22 PM   Comments: Post a Comment << Home |
