For every warrior’s sandal from the noisy battle, And garments rolled in blood, Will be used for burning and fuel of fire. Isaiah 9:5

Before the coming of Jesus, the people of God had to take up arms to defend themselves from the adversaries.  However, for the afflicted land, the Lord worked such a perfect work that He altered the way of waging war.  People died and killed to preserve their territory and their faith.  Now, our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the kingdom of evil (Ephesians 6:12).

We are freed from the darkness spread throughout humanity the moment that Adam and Eve sinned.  The saved became the light of the world (Matthews 5:14). When they take up their place in Christ, they will teach divine will to their like.  Furthermore, with faith in the Name of Jesus, they will lead their neighbor to find peace.  The devil was divested of the authority he had stolen from man.  Halleluiah!

The glorious way to the sea (Isaiah 9:1), where people learn what is necessary to live well, will be offered to those who want to be restored in the presence of the Lord. With simple prayers, we can end any conflict created by the enemy among the people of God.  After all, we have the power to bind and to unbind here on Earth and assure that what we determine is fulfilled in the spiritual world (Matthew 18:18).  To the heavenly Father be all glory!

Since we do not walk in darkness and are anointed by the Holy Spirit, we can use the Name of Jesus to bind the filthy spirits that are oppressing and disturbing people.  It is possible, for example, to do like Elijah who with a prayer blinded the Syrian officers and soldiers.  He then led them to the king of Samaria.  We have neglected this power!  God is faithful!

Today there is not one people on the face of the Earth where the light has not shone.  We must only advance over the territory of the enemy, so that souls can be redeemed to salvation.  The Lord of the Church guaranteed: And the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).  How long will we remain seated and attending seminars or writing books about missions?  Let us obey Christ’s command to go to the furthest regions, because the light has already shone.

The Almighty has multiplied us and increased our strength and joy.  Our spiritual position is privileged because we are sitting together in Christ (Ephesians 2:6).  We must rejoice before Him just like the workers who harvest a bountiful crop, or when the warriors divide their booty.  Our yoke has already been broken, as the rod that was over our shoulder and the scepter of the oppressor, like that which occurred with the Midianites (Isaiah 9:4)!

Know that our struggle is against the principalities, powers and rulers of darkness in the realms of evil.  The boots and uniforms of the brave were burned.  Nothing more can be done but to answer the Master´s order, and go where He leads us.  Wake up! Now you only have time to fulfill the purpose of the Father!

In Christ, with Love,
