LET OUR ARROWS FLY

 Arrows have many meanings; but the one I am using is that arrows are used to attack the enemy. 

Jeremiah 50:14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon all around, All you who bend a bow; Shoot at her, spare no arrows, For she has sinned against the LORD.

WHO IS OUR ENEMY? Our enemy is ANY who come against God, God's people, and the nation that is established on God's principals. We who wholly follow Christ Jesus our Lord, are warriors, soldiers in the Lord's army, we see evil as it approaches because we have discernment, we do not become engaged with the affairs of this world, we stand the post God has placed us on and WE STAY ALERT! We do not leave where we have been planted even if we have to stand alone.

Too many have left their posts, they got weary, got offended, got lazy, was overcome with the world affairs, and they found themselves moving further away from God because they left God's people and left their post.

The word tells us we are living in perilous times, families are suffering, relationships are broken, instead of people running to the church house they are running from the church house, fear, anger, disease, hate, murder of the innocent increases, people are dying, the world is burning, our enemy is rejoicing and the posts are empty.

God is calling His church to be His arrows sent out against our common enemy. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood we wrestle against the forces of darkness in the atmospheres around us. The enemy may shoot his darts into our minds, Oh but we, HIS CHURCH, shoot arrows into the darkness to destroy the plan and works of our enemy.

What are these arrows we shoot, you ask? It's our words, the truth of God's word, it is remaining diligent in prayer, fighting in the spirit realm against the wiles of the devil, who is roaming around seeking who he may devour. It is remaining steadfast in our post where God has planted us, not giving in or giving up, not being one who quits when it gets rough and our flesh wants to run away from the battle. It is crying when no one sees, yet getting back up to pray again, it's wanting to scream because it seems no one is listening, but we keep praying, we stand your watch! 

You declare from your heart through your mouth "Not on my watch, devil, you have no power, no authority over me, my family, my church family, my pastors and their families, my community, my work place, my city, my nation. You, devil are no more than an uncircumcised Philistine who has come to mock my God and God's people, I see who you are whispering your lies into the ears of weak Christians, but you see what I hold, I hold the keys of the kingdom of God, I have the Sword of God's word, I am covered with the blood of Jesus, I am called to be a warrior for such a time as this and my quiver is full of arrows and my God has trained me how to use His arrows to stop you, devil, in your tracks. No power of darkness takes a hold of me or my family or my church or my city or my nation because my God has trained my fingers for war. So bring it on devil let's see what you got, cause I got all of heaven on my side. Right there is my declaration of war against the wiles of the devil. I fight in prayer, and I fight in my declarations. How about you, how do you fight?

Time to decide, are you going to fight and stand your post, or are you going to slip quietly away in the darkness of the night.

He's coming, He's coming, do you see it do you feel it? Are you ready? Is your family ready? Are your neighbors ready? Is your church house ready? 

There is a REVIVAL COMING, but it comes through travailing in prayer as a woman in labor and it will birth that which God has ordained in these days we are in. Where are the prayer warriors the intercessors who are willing to travail in prayer?

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the the Lord.

Galatians 6:9 And do not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart

Ephesians 6:11-13 I am only writing one

Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand

Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Hebrews 6:11-12a And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish....

1 Peter 5:8-9a Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith.....

2 Timothy 2:3-4 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier 

So many, many more scriptures flood my thoughts that this post could not contain them all. So allow the Holy Spirit to remind you of scriptures in both the Old and New Testament of remaining faithful, committed, fight the good fight, endure, persevere, watch and pray.

The only real way to fight against the darkness that is swiftly coming against us, is remaining on our posts, praying the word of God, remain faithful and diligent. And do our part; humble ourselves, seek God, turn from our wicked ways, pray, teach truth, walk in faith, keep pressing in and keep pressing forward, discern the spirits that are operating around us, is it the spirit of demons or the Spirit of God. Vote the core values of God's standard. Keep our focus on Jesus, for we have this Hope, He is coming again and the bride has made herself ready. 

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

AMEN!
