Sometimes life can feel like a battleground. There are times when it feels like we're in the heat of a battle and suddenly, in the spiritual sense,we can't tell the good from the bad, or the bad from the good.
"How then do we fight, when it's hard to determine who the enemy is?" I asked the LORD.
"You don't," came the reply.
"Say what???"
As I listened further, I felt like God was saying:
You don't, because Jesus already did. Remember the battle is not against flesh and blood but against those things that enslave, capture, oppress and allure My people into captivity and away from the freedom My Son's death already bought. You see a battle with people on two sides, but I show You now, the greater truth: There is only One side. Whilst you see two-sided opposition, I see what becomes the betrayal of one ...it all comes down to that. Turning on one another. It doesn't matter what the reason...only that what you've done to them, you've done to Me. Brother against brother, Mother against sister, Father against son, neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend ....in such a civil war, the only way to peace is to look to Peace itself; surrendering each his own will in favor of unity and harmony amongst brethren.
In battle mode, each man is an island fighting to stay afloat on a sea of discord. In unity, each man is the strength of a hundred men, for the foundation of one is connected to and supported by 99 others; with each subsequent person a strengthening and a bracing of a unity not easily broken and an advancement of the Kingdom that moves across the face of the earth."
“Let us trust God, and our better judgment to set us right hereafter. United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.” ~ Patrick Henry, 1799

"So do we never fight?"
"Oh no, You don't fight. You war. You war with the weapons that aren't carnal but are mighty through Me for pulling down strongholds...the beliefs that are more important than love, the ideologies that are more important than one another. You stand and you resist that which would ever "lead you astray to betray," and in that stillness, where you've triumphed through the wisdom, power and revelation of My Word, know that I am God.
