“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction,” Newton's third law of motion. When Christian churches all over the world began to let the Truth slip away, it created a void, a vacuum. The noun form of the word “vacuum” is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “a situation created when an important person or thing has gone and has not been replaced.” This vacuum was not only created in the churches spiritual structure but also in the lives of individuals. And that void screams out to be filled. Why? Because an important person or thing has gone and has not been replaced. The Person gone is the Holy Spirit and the thing gone is Truth. Satan rushes in to replace Truth and Righteousness with Deception and Sin.
Over a period of time, Satan has gradually slipped into the churches and undermined the power and authority that belongs to the Body of Christ. Many churches and individuals have given in to the pressures of society and embraced unholy alliances with the forces of darkness in our world. The assets that Jesus gave for the victory of the Body of Christ are no longer available to them. They have removed their covering and therefore stand powerless before the enemy.
Jesus said in Matt. 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Jesus gave His Power to His Church to Finish His Work. And again in Matt. 16:18, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” The gates of hell can not prevail over the Power of the Kingdom of Heaven. Satan is defeated by the delivering power of Jesus’ blood sacrifice. Through the power of His precious blood, we declare VICTORY as the blood-bought Body of Christ.
The Holy Ghost is issuing “A Call To Arms.” It is time for every member of Heaven’s Army to dress for the conflict that is just ahead. We must make ready for a confrontation with the darkness of hell! We must prepare to engage the enemy of all things good in his active hostilities against the holiness of God’s Kingdom! He that has ears to hear let him hear the consistent and universal sound of God’s Trumpeter. We cannot miss this Call To Arms! We must be vigilant in our duty as a warrior for Jesus Christ. “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee,” 1 Tim. 4:16. A Call To Arms!
