If you belong to Jesus, you need to know…we are soldiers in the army of God!  

 

Most of us live our lives as though all is at peace in the world.  We don’t care to trouble ourselves with the weight of the world’s problems.  We know where we will end up when this life is over, so we are satisfied to sit on our Blessed Assurance and let the world go it’s way.  But let me remind you (me included), WE ARE AT WAR!  

 

A few years back, there was a movie called the War Room.  The lady in the movie had many prayer requests, so she made her closet the place where she’d pray.  She hung sticky notes with her requests to God.  She would daily go into her closet, close the door, and bring each request before the throne of God Almighty.  This closet became known as her War Room.  

I don’t have an extra closet in my little home, but I have designated the back of my bedroom door to be my War Door.  I have placed the names and requests on the door.  I pray for them, and bring my requests before God.

 

So, let me ask you….  Are you sitting behind your Bible, being a good little Christian, learning God’s Word-but never wielding it’s power to reach a lost world?  The Bible is the Word of God-the Sword of the Lord!  Get out on the front lines of battle!  Get off your Blessed Assurance and fall to your knees in prayer!  ….”For the fiercest wars fought, are fought on bended knee, as a mother prays for her child’s eternity!” (a line from a poem I wrote years ago called Aproned Warrior)

 

Know this:  The armies of Satan are on the move, day and night.  They want the souls of men.  They see them as trophies as they war against God.  The battle with Satan is REAL!  Wake up!  

 

MOMMA…DADDY…YOU MUST FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES, AND THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN!  Prayer is the key to victory!
