God is calling a generation of servants to go to war. All of hell has broke loose on this earth and is devistating all that is in it's path. The Devil has had people fooled for so long that we haven't even realized what kind of a hold he has had on our lives. The Devil has dulled our sences and slowely crept in and put the church in a slumber. The devil is as comfortable sitting in church, as a baby in his mothers arms. The thing that amazes me is that the christians don't even realize it. We as God's chosen people which are called by his name have become so comfortable in our sin that we don't even know that we are sinning. I believe that god is calling his people to begin to purify their hearts and begin training for battle. We ask why our schools are so carnal. Why our church is not growing. Why it is that our lives are falling apart. God is calling his people to be pure. We must become vigilant in the battle to be victorious in our personal lives. If you don't want your children to get involved in witchcraft or satanism. Then you must show them the power and authority of Jesus Christ. Not just what you read them in the Bible. Live the Bible do as God commanded show your children who really has the power. Who really rules this world. Be the example that God commanded. Your first call to arms is to bring deliverance to your own family. You will only do this by showing them that the things of this world do not hold a candle to the awsome power of God. Live these scriptures before your children.

15) And Jesus said unto them,Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16) He that believeth and is babtized shall be saved; but he that beleiveth not shall be damned.

17) And these signs will follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall

speak with new tongues;

18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Mark 16:15-18

This was not just a calling to the disciples it was a commandment to you and to me. The youth of today need more than bible stories they need to see the manifestation of gods power. The Devil has uped the anti, he has bombareded their minds with things that will keep their attention. The power of witchcraft through many many movies, books and literature. The thrill of sex at every turn. The power of a drug to take them to a greater and higher level of conscience. The church must begin to turn their heads, and keep their attention. How do we do that? Show them how exciting God is. Show them how powerful God is. Show them that they can be somebody in christ. Show them that they have the power to do all things through Christ who strengthens them. The presence of God and the power of God is more exciting than anything that the Devil can offer, but we have to show them. The only way is to go to war for the minds of our children.

9)Proclaim ye this among the gentiles. Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all men of war draw near; let them come up:

10)Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

Joel 3: 9, 10

WHERE OUR BATTLE LIES

18) While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: For the things which are seen are temperal; but the things that are not seen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:18

Spiritual warfare is the battle between good and evil. A fight in the heavenlies that many christians feel does not exist. We have to learn to be victorious in a battle that we cannot see. We have to stand in faith and believe that God has given us the victory. Satan has had the church deceived to his devices. How he works, how his army moves. The spiritual realm has been a one sided battle that has allowed Satan to steal the life out of not only Christians but all the people of this world. It is time that we learn how to be victorious. It is time for us to go into the heavinlies and take back what the Devil has stolen. Wake up out of our ignorance and fight the good fight.

13) Therefore my people are going into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Isiah 5:13

I don't believe that there is any area of our lives that is not affected by a spiritual battle in the heavenlies. The way we have been trained to think, is to fix what we can see. Well that is only in the physical realm. You can fix it untill you are blue in the face and you are still going to have the same problem. Satan has an army of soldiers that their job is to specifically destroy your life. Well, how do you fight something that you cannot see? That is were the Lord will give you discernment. Discernment is the ability to try a spirit. If you have someone that is against you at work. Pray and ask God to reveal to you which spirit is USING them to try and destroy you. Your fight is not with that person that you can see. Your fight is with demonic spirit that is in control. If you have a problem at the church were it seems like the church just won't grow. Your fight is not with the people of your community that will not attend. Your battle is with the spiritual strongman that controls the town where you live. It is time for the christians of this day to quit blaming people for their problems. Put the blame where it is due. Satan and his army of soldiers. The same devil and soldiers that have studied your every move and know all of your weaknesses. This is where our battle lies. Even though this seems so far fetched and out of the ordinary it is so true.

10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11) Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Ephesians 6: 10-12
