7-6-2024 – A Word to the Wise – On warfare

Has it occurred to you that women are really good at warfare? Whether on the battlefield or off. Look who it is that manages the home even in the worst of times. Often men will desert or allow the devil to slip in and destroy whether by alcohol, drugs, or porn or finding other playmates, whether it be women, or games both take him from his duty.

The women left with the children now must make the living and support the family and fight the battles by herself.

It is here an important principle is learned when engaging the enemy. James 4:7 tells us to resist the devil and he will flee. Peace is not acceptable. No, the Christian pursues and chases the adversary and his army until it ceases to exist.

In every major engagement in the battles of the Bible God expected His army to chase the enemy from the battlefield and to keep on until they were destroyed. God’s harshest criticism is reserved for those who quit. The enemy is to be destroyed. Not bargained with. Not preserved. No treaties made. The battles of Joshua and Judges emphatically teach this principle. Pursue the enemy until you physically drop, until you can no longer lift your weapon. Give no refuge to the enemy. Chase him until he has nowhere to go–then destroy him. Men step up join the war do not let Satan destroy your family.
