“Where is my fierceness at the enemy?! Why do I stand and tolerate the hordes of hell to grasp thousands of souls daily? Have I allowed my eyes to become too fixed upon myself, and somehow lost sight of you, my God? Have I become weak with the weapons you have given me? God… I have become filled with too much self, and not enough of you! I want to labor in prayer! I want to fast and read your word! I want to preach on the street corner to those sin bound! I want to fight my heart out for you, and receive no earthly honor! I want to lift up the weary hands of the soldiers, but I seen nobody truly battling hell, because they cant win over flesh. Am I even a real soldier? If my spiritual actions was the literal actions of a Marine on the frontlines, would he be alive very long? I know the so called Church of America today is very weak, for little of you is even in the midst of her, Lord. But let me just focus on myself for a few moments. Am I being a true soldier? Lord, I want to please you! I want to die a true Christian, one that has been obedient to your commands! But God, have I let this precious battlefield… become a playground?”
This is a prayer of mine today. We must always keep ourselves in check with God, so I challenge you, beloved, ask yourself… “have I allowed the battlefield to become a playground?”
2 Timothy 2:3-4, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”
1 Timothy 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
Beloved, are you really fighting? Is this a real battle to you? Or have you made this battlefield a playground? It is now time to fight, this is not a playtime.
