Its Time To Take The Gloves Off

"In his justice he will pay back those who persecute you." Paul to the Church in Thessalonica

What we are seeing unfold in America is a counterfeit of what the Church should be doing. Progressives are seeking the destruction of our nation to gain control of society. The radical element of the Progressive movement, including the president and many in our legislative branch of government are fomenting hatred and violence in the natural realm so that they can implement martial law to control and silence any and all opposition to their agenda. They are encouraging division and distrust while fueling the flames of general discord among all citizens.

The tactics being used against our republic are as sinister and evil as the one they originate from and we must not allow them to continue to go unchallenged. We must become as brutal and ruthless against evil as evil is against all that is good.

Paul told the Church in Ephesus to expose evil wherever it is found and we must follow that command. He told them, and us, to "Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places." Our fighting must rise to a new and deadly level in the spiritual arena, we must become as determined to see God's enemies destroyed as they are to see our destruction.

"Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ—though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away. Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives. We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient."

Our battle is not one of passively praying and then going about our daily routines hoping God will do something because we spent a few minutes saying "oh Jesus help our leaders find You, and turn their hearts to see the errors of their way......." We must begin to battle the demons they have allowed to control them and are using to destroy the land God has given us. Our weapons are much more powerful than anything the devil has at his disposal but if we do not begin acting like warriors and abandon the Neville Chamberlin appeasement philosophy we will lose the current battle and our children will be forced to go around this mountain again.

We must become as radical as the enemy we fight against. We must understand his tactics and counter his every move until we are no longer fighting to regain ground we have given up but we are fighting an offensive war in the heavenlies. The only time I believe God will honor a war of aggression is when the aggression is in the spirit realm against the powers of hell, it is that time!

These are Paul's words "And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient." We, the church, need to punish those who have refused to repent, those who have betrayed the nation they swore to defend must be forced to trial for their crimes and we must demand that our representatives hold all the guilty parties accountable for their crimes against God and His purposes.

"....we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places...", note that in this verse Paul states that we are fighting powers in the spiritual realm AND "powers IN THIS DARK WORLD".........
