The Battlefield

I have entered onto the battlefield, troubled on every side! I see all the notorious enemy soldiers before me. We are about to enter hand to hand combat. I look around for my fellow soldiers, and soon I see… this one I am alone. Even though there is many that would love to help, they simply cannot. This battle goes beyond their understanding. It goes much deeper than they could ever imagine. Even though they want to help, they just simply cannot. I look to my left, and there I see one of my enemies waiting to pounce on me. He goes by the name of “Fearful Heart.” He is a tough warrior. I have faced him before. He proudly displays the names of those he has taken out of the battle before me, with medals upon his chest. Given to him by his commander, Satan. Then I quickly look to my right. There he stands. Blood dripping from his sword, where he plunged it through the soldier that ran before me. His eyes now fixed on me, he goes by the name of “Discouraging Thoughts.” He has taken out many warriors of the cross before. He always loves to attack those that seem strongest to the other soldiers. He shrikes and laughs as he calls my name. I look behind me! There He is!! So smoothly making his way to a striking position. He has been labeled “Compromise A Little.” I hear as he tries to sweet talk me into turning around and taking his easy way. All of a sudden my attention is brought back to my front, as I hear him say “God will not help you now! You have messed up Mr. Churchy! He has delivered you to us… so we can finish you.” I know this demon! He is the leader of this pact. His name is “Doubt God.” He hides often, and uses sneaky attacks. Here I am… I see all four coming against me at once! My sword in hand! My eyes fixed! My hands gripping! My heart pounding!! Tears dripping from my face!! Alone! Cold! Tired! Warn! They're closing in. Here they come!!! Faster!!! And faster!! They are running full speed ahead!! What do I do?! When do I swing?! When do I run forward?! “FATHER!!!! HELP ME!!!!” All of a sudden I feel it! I feel the Holy Ghost! I hear the voice of my Father! I see Christ… not just seated at the right hand of the Father… but standing! I hear Him saying “Father… your child is needing you right now.” I hear my Father say “I have my eyes on him. I see everything that is going on right now. I have given him a promise. One that I will not break. It is a promise of my love for him. I am teaching him to stand upon it. I have even given him the verse to use against his enemy. I am teaching him to rest in my love for him. I am bringing him to a place of perfect peace… while on his battlefield.” The holy boldness rises up within me, now is the time!!! I charge!! “In the name of Jesus!!! IT IS WRITTEN!!!! Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; HE WILL NOT FAIL THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE!!!!! IT IS WRITTEN!!!!

Beloved, this is where I am this very night. As I wrote this blog, this is the enemies facing me. But I feel that Holy boldness about right now! And I know… although I am still in this very battle… God will not fail me. So I will rest in His love… and stand on His promises… while on my battlefield!! Just one small question… will you?
