WE MUST TAKE ACTION WITH WHAT WE KNOW
Proverbs 24:10-12 says, "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. If thou forebear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; if thou sayest, Behold we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?"
Men, how sad it was to hear of another beheading of an American journalist, who is also an Israel citizen. It caused my blood to boil with righteous indignation. I heard this morning that there are those in America who have listened to the propaganda of ISIS saying that unless we stop striking their military convoys that they will continue to behead more journalists. These people are calling on Obama to stop all attacks against ISIS. Knowing in my spirit the foolishness of many in the West and their overly tolerant stand towards Islam as a peaceful religion, I am not surprised to hear this call to pull back. I feared it would happen.
This is a matter for serious prayer and we Christian families gathering around our meal tables must ask the Lord to raise up whatever it takes to crush to powder the demonic blood-lusting spirits of extreme Islam. Just as we expect our physical military to fight with valor and honor, so must we as Christian families fight and war in the spirit realm to put into disarray and utter confusion the evil, murderous spirits that drive and direct the soldiers of Islam extremists.
Natural weapons and armies cannot defeat demonic forces for they are spiritual. They can kill and destroy the physical human element, but that is not enough. It also takes the humble prayers of Christian families who know how to war in the spirit through the use of prayer to attack and grind to powder Satan's demonic armies.
Keep praying and don't give up.
Be encouraged.
