Lets Go Into Battle

Onto The Battlefield

We have put on our armor and picked up our weapons, now it is time to go out onto the battlefield. It is just as much a battlefield as the physical ones that are around us today. It is the battle for lost souls. We need to use every part of our armor to protect us from the devil and we need to use our weapons against his lies. 1 Peter 5:8 tells us about our enemy, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:. We need to know our enemy. He was once an angel in heaven and he knows the scripture inside and out but fears it.

Satan will use the scripture against us in any way he can. He used it against Jesus in the desert in Luke chapter 4:1-13; 1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

We need to approach lost souls with humbleness but with the power and might of the Law. Our sword is to be used against our enemy and we are to be prepared with the footwear of truth with all prayer we are to go out and proclaim Gods word and teach the lost about Gods grace through the use of His Law and let them go running to the cross in repentance.

Judgment day is coming and we will all be judged for our sins. We must reach out to as many as we can while we can because God does not want anyone to perish in the lake of fire. John3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Let's go out into the battlefield and use our whole arsenal of weapons against the enemy and defeat him.
