“Our Struggle”

“Our Struggle”

Blessings folk!

I do not celebrate many of the traditional “holidays” of man.

But there is one that draws my attention every year.

Today.

April 19.

Patriot’s Day.

Why is it called that?

Several important/impactful things occurred on April 19 through the years.

1775 The American Revolution begins
1861 First blood in the Civil War
1933 The United States went off the gold standard.
1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising begins
1993 Branch Davidian compound burns
1995 Truck bomb explodes in Oklahoma City

We would do well to know the true history of these.

We as Believers would do better to be the “patriot” we are called to be in the Kingdom.

We are in a battle, but not a traditional battle of man.

Eph 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness,
against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Our struggle, our battle is not against flesh and blood.
We struggle against rulers…powers..world forces of this present darkness…spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly place.

Yes.
The enemy is satan and his demonic minions.

Note the verse begins with “for”.
What is the context?

We will see tomorrow.

Suffice to say that we are instructed to do some things.

For today, know that the true battle is in the heavenly realm.
True Believers have won through the blood of the Lord Jesus.
We have nothing to fear.
Yet, we are to do some things…

Press on!
