Preparing For The Spiritual Battle

Preparing For The Spiritual Battle

Luke 22:36

He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.

Guess who that was. It was Jesus saying that. He knew us Christian soldiers would be faced with rejection and He knew that it would get violent. That violence is at an all time high now, with The Islamic State knocking on the door hoping to covert us or kill us. We are not supposed to just sit here and take it.  Psalm 144:1 says, “Bleesed be the Lord my Rock Who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.” David was protected by God form the time he was a boy, fighting lions and bears defending the flock, and fighting the Phillistine Goliath. He was faithful in trusting God. We also must trust God and do not worry, because in the Bible, it says,”do not fear” in 365 times.

We are to be peaceful, but when war is waged against us, He has prepared a victory in Our favor
We are to be peaceful, but when war is waged against us, He has prepared a victory in Our favor.

God uses the called in the most amazing ways. If He only called the qualified to do His work, Jesus would be a really busy guy. Luckily, Jesus paid the price so we could be worthy to be called His sheep.

ISIS is a force of Satan under the guise of Allah, and followers of the evil prophet Mohammad, or however you spell it. They want peace but it has to come under the way of everyone converting to Islam, or dying. If you don’t convert, they behead you, or simply crucify you publicly. Remember though, we are not the true target, Jesus is. If we are persecuted for His sake, we are blessed.

    ISIS is misguided there is no shred of religion left in their principles. Their simple aim is to destroy and sadly many associate it with Islam without being well informed. I am not religious but I believe that religion can foster a community and create or hone identities.

    Faith in the Lord is the strongest emotion. There is nothing a man can’t do if he believes in God.

    ISIS does not want peace. The non radical Muslims are the ones looking for peace. ISIS is looking to destroy everything and even if they could convert everyone I highly doubt that they would be satisfied

      I hope I can encourage people to speak up against ISIS and other persecution, while we are blessed, we must answer back in a way they understand, hence Jesus saying that buying a sword is necessary

    the bible speaks of those in religious power being the same that Jesus himself were against. He was full of love and the gospel and not a place where a group could make rules to do what they chose to do but to offer help to all

    I feel really uncomfortable when talking about other people beliefs and faith. It’s okay to talk about mine because I understand it completely, but I don’t want to judge other for theirs.

      That’s okay, that’s your right as an American. I respect that, however ISIS is a hate group, must be exploited because their actions show their intentions.

      That’s right, Satan employs evil hearts and demons to possess people to trap us from excelling in Gods name. With God all things work together for His purpose and all things are possible.

    You do know that your god and Allah are one in the same? I’m always amazed at how many Christians blame Satan for everything. ISIS is a group of men making their own evil decisions.

      Allah is not God, Mohammad used Allah as an excuse for marrying a 6 yr old girl, and for being a murderer and rapist. Satan used men like Mohammad to carry out his evil plans. Consider 1 Peter 5:8. Allah is the devil in disguise.

    I am a Christian myself.. and don’t we also try to convert others? I think that is a bad reason to dislike Muslims. Every religion wishes to confer others to theirs. Instead of all the hate.. we should be praying more.

      True we do, however, we don’t kill them for not converting, we do warn of an eternity spent in hell though. ISIS and many Muslims will say convert or die, and the execution of Christians was brutal. I cant respect people like that.

    This was a very well written post. I have a very strong religious foundation . I feel very blessed to be able to practice my faith freely. I try not to judge anyone else’s faith because I don’t want them to judge mind.

Rochelle Martin is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Shayne Rivers.
"Dear friends
The last few days have been heartbreaking for my family. Jason, my husband of 20 years, my friend, and the father of my children, passed away unexpectedly Friday morning. He was a selfless server to his family, friends, and the community around him. He was a veteran of the Marines, a 4H leader, a baseball coach, and an explorer.
We have been surrounded by family and friends and appreciated the loving support. We are all deeply grieving the loss of such an amazing father, husband, and friend. There is so much more to say but at this time words fail to express the loss and sorrow."
-Shayne Rivers

This account has been created to help Shayne with any financial hardships after the passing of her husband, Jason. The money given through this account will go directly towards the well being of their children. Thank you so much for your love and support! ALSO, please leave comments for the family: Share memories & stories. Together we can bear this heartache.
With Love & Prayers,
Shelly Martin
