“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 church's 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 the 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, “...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 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!
