Darkness is all around us, and sometimes it envelopes us; closes us in and takes control of us. This darkness is hard to penetrate, as it keeps tightening its grip around us. The soldiers of darkness have launched an offensive attack against the soldiers of light, and it appears there are traitors on the side of the light.
Do we know how to counter-attack? Don’t just defend yourselves… attack. Many people who appear to be soldiers of light are just peace-time soldiers!?! They would rather warm a pew than the handle of their sword. These people often take up irrelevant arguments from the Bible so it appears that they've got it. It is time for us to rise up, and launch an offensive against the soldiers of darkness. Many souls are going to hell… do we even care? Don’t lose your salvation by ignoring your mission (what God has called you to do).
I once had a vision of the two opposing armies shooting their artillery at each other… one side was shooting enveloping darkness and the other side was shooting darkness dispelling light. Not all were in front to front combat, but some were in combat with the lost among them who appeared to be on the right track. The army of darkness has special forces that have worked their way into the army of light and thus try to undermine its strength.
Where is the army of light’s special forces? We need them today more than ever! We are losing the battle for men’s souls around the world, because we have lost our vision. The special forces need to be equipped with special powers to do battle against the army of darkness, and of course these powers come from God.
-I Corinthians 16:13-
Unless you focus on the mission you will lose focus and become a soldier of darkness, destroying any light that could be used for dispelling darkness.
The sword of the Spirit is a flaming fire which brings brightness to any dark soul. The powers of darkness cannot stand against it if it is used properly. This sword of the Spirit’s fire is unlike a traditional torch in that is many times brighter. I think of a welding iron as the closest thing to it, but it is still far from it. It pierces our eyes and our eyes become single.
It is my desire to join with captain of light. Please join the Lord and I in a vigorous crusade for the lost.
