PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH
As God’s soldiers, we don’t surrender or give in to the demands of the devil. We do not capitulate. We are not moved by the demands of any adversary. We also do not change our minds about our resolve based upon the pressure the enemy puts on us. Once our course of action is ordered, we carry out those orders without hesitation or renegotiation. God’s soldiers hold to a code; a standard. That standard is; the only thing that moves us is God’s orders. Our only allegiance is to our King. Our orders are our one and final decision.
Luke 14:27 & 31-33 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
This verse reveals a very sobering truth. If you aren’t willing to go all the way for Jesus, then there will be a point in which you surrender. If you don’t count the cost, then you will cave in.
In today’s church mentality, there’s very little resistance for the most part. Because of this, very few in the church understand spiritual warfare. Satan knows that for the most part, this generation will agree to anything if it means an easier life. In today’s society, the church has opted for either total or partial capitulation to the devil. The church has simply agreed that if the devil will take it easy on them, they will back off or back down.
We impose the will of the kingdom of God on every situation. We only exercise peace through strength. Not peace through weakness. Not peace through cowardness. Not peace at any cost. Not peace through avenge them of what their enemy had first done to them.
Today you must come to a place where your resolve to fight rests upon a few things. The only way peace is accepted is when the devil surrenders the fight. The only negotiation for conditions of peace to be agreed upon is when the devil caves to God’s will. Until then, keep pushing against the devil. Continue to resist him at every turn.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore unto God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.
1 Peter 5:9 Whom resist, stedfast in the faith. Knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Your assignment today is clear:
RESIST THE DEVIL UNTIL HE FLEES
Today we declare peace through strength. Our only reason to stop firing ammunition is when the devil runs off the battlefield. The only way we have peace in this world is resting in the strength of God. The only way I stop fighting today is when the devil surrenders to God’s plan for my life, God’s will in my situation, or when the devil leaves me for a season. Remember, Jesus fought the devil in the wilderness and continued to engage in warfare. It was Satan whom the bible declares that eventually stopped resisting when it says in
Luke 4:13, And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
You see, there was eventually peace from Satan’s warfare, but that peace came by Satan departing, not by Jesus giving in.
There will be peace through strength in your warfare today. Let it be said that the only way we stop fighting against the devil is when he gives in to our demands.
Press on Soldiers!
http://www.godsmarinecorps.com is now publishing a series entitled GOD’S MARINES: Message to the Force. This Message series is meant to encourage you, equip you with the knowledge you need in order to wage warfare in your own personal Christian life, in the daily battles of your Christian brothers and sisters, and to help rescue those who are caught up in this warfare whom Satan is carrying off into Hell.
This Message to the Force is written and produced by the preachers; the men of God in Bellview Church. Our passion is to equip the saints and all those who desire greater truths and understanding in the warfare of our daily Christian lives.
You’ve sensed the warfare in your life for some time. You’ve not been able to rise up before now, but now you realize what the Lord has been doing in you all the while. He’s forging a soldier in you. He’s tried you. He’s tested you! You have become so enraged at the demise of your family and your community. That rage is not sinful and does not need to be repented of. It needs to be directed and focused. It needs some instruction so that it can be used as fuel for you to set the world on fire around you with the fire of the Holy Ghost and the Word of God.
Do you feel like there is an all-out assault on you? It’s because you’re in the war! It’s time to enlist! Will you join us and faithfully commit yourself to learn what it takes to become one of God’s Marines?
The consequences are too great for you to ignore the call to be a soldier. Your people are perishing! Your community is being overtaken in spiritual darkness. Something has to change. That change is you pressing into God, allowing Him to set you on fire and equip you to be the soldier He has called you to be!
You cannot walk away. This battle will continue on whether you choose to fight it or not. Share this message with your friends. Enlist together with your Christian Brothers and Sisters. Post it on your social media. Let God equip you.
We have launched www.godsmarinecorps.com which is a new website designed for the recruitment, training and deployment of youth and adults in spiritual warfare.
When we have our next GMC Recruit training, you may enroll your youth online and be notified when the next training will be made available.
If you are an adult, this website will soon have available adult online classes that will teach you greater truths and take you into greater depths of the Holy Spirit in spiritual warfare that you’ve never imagined.
