When we are born, we are born in a warzone! Good and evil are there to greet us. We do not know it of course, but it is true! Over time, it becomes more obvious, but the evil one is good at convincing us that evil is not so bad and in fact evil is more enjoyable. Some people fight off evil better than others, but only the truth can make us free.

The war intensifies when we receive Christ, when we choose Him to be our Lord! The truth is that we finally become aware of what has been going on! Now, we must keep going. We must put on the full armor of God. We must employ the weapons of our warfare. Jesus said wait until you receive power. We must keep going deeper with the guidance of The Holy Spirit. I read this verse and the question that came to my mind was, “What are you looking for?”

What should be doing with what we have in Christ. We should keep going. The war has become very public. The enemy is scared and is no longer subtle. We are seeing the clear manifestations of evil. People are being taken captive and they are unaware of what has happened.

Christians are deceived into cheering for what is evil and booing what is good. It is crazy! We are at war, and it is up to us to call upon the Lord. It is up to us to pray that eyes will be opened. We have prayed for evil to be exposed and it would seem God is doing just that. Now we are called to stand for what is right and good. We are called to stand for the Lord who alone is good.

Only the Holy Spirit knows the way through this. We must be led by Him. We must call on Him. We must welcome Him to be our main course every day. We receive power when He comes, and we need power.

Proverbs 20:24 says, “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” Faith is intended to be walked out not figured out. In other words, if we are going to walk by faith; if we are going to be effective in our relationship with God; we are simply going to have to trust Him. We waste time when are trying to figure things out.

Why doesn’t God do something? God has done something. He has done more than enough! He gives us the privilege of casting down evil and exalting Him. When you first got your driver’s license, did you want someone else to do the driving? As a kid I sat on my dad’s lap and drove. I could not wait to do it myself. Jesus has given us the keys and we are living in a time when we will behold the glory of God on a huge scale.

God is exposing evil, and we get to take part in seeing evil crushed. Evil is like a beheaded snake. It flops about but its time is running out. Stand up army of the Lord. Wake up if you have been deceived or sleeping. March on in the Lord’s army. Keep going! Shout and keep shouting “VICTORY IN JESUS!”
