Michael said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you.”
We start by knowing the battle is the Lord’s. We stand on the solid rock of Truth. We are confident that salvation is rooted in our hearts.
Then we wear the full armor of God while speaking the Word of Truth without apology. Hell is forever. Wisdom comes as we test the spirit and pray for discernment. We can no longer be tossed about by empty philosophy, fear of offending, or ambivalent to attacks against the church.
Our persistence builds our maturity so that we are ready to give the right word with confidence that His Spirit leads us into battle.
James Chapter 1 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

I’m no political Angry Man,
and don’t want to give a sermon,
but I do not like our country’s plan
to normalize perversion
by putting filth in childrens’ minds,
and calling parents terrorists,
and through lawsuits seek to bind
and gag the willingness to resist.
A child is not state chattel,
nor a community’s property,
and we now face a battle
to try to salvage decency
in a land once blessed by God
that’s turning now to pagan fraud.

You would think that knowing that the battle belongs to the Lord, and that He has already won the victory, and given us the armour… that this would give us confidence to speak out and act in faith, in face of opposition, wouldn’t you? So why do we fear man and go silent? Why do I?
