Battle: By Jeff Godsown
In today’s’ hurry up, no patience, microwavable, instant this or that world, man has lost his perspective, his reason and his mind. Yes, I said man has lost his mind! When we come to Christ, and it is a real act, we just signed up to do battle, and most of the time, like with all troops, we must be trained. No self-respecting Drill Instructor or team instructor would ever consider sending their troops off to battle, unless they were prepared. In boot camp, you learn how to shut your mouth, listen carefully to instruction, and obey, all of which are necessary for maintaining composure and life on the field of battle. 2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 2Co 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Untrained man for the most part has no idea what it takes to survive in battle, and for those of you who play video games, the real deal is nothing like the video game.
