Imaginations Against True Imagination©

A Limerick A Day to Keep You On Your Way©

There is a war on for every thought.

There is a way this war is to be fought.

The weapons bold,

Heaven’s foothold.

Imaginations cast down, strongholds caught.

 

WAR

A tyrannical war.   A civil war.   An atomic war.   A cold war.  A nuclear war.  A virtual war.   A chemical war.    A tech war.   A big pharma war.    An identity war.  A national war.   A bioweapon war.  A spiritual war.

We are in a war.  A war for our souls.

I have watched TURN, Washington’s Spies several times. It was a series on Netflix.  After some history exploration, it is clear this series has taken several liberties with actual facts . Nonetheless, it has been a very moving series for me. I was moved to tears as I felt the pain of the sacrifices men, women and children of that time gave to give us such a free America. They lost loved ones, land, houses, money, body parts or their own lives. Families were divided from loyalty to England’s King or freedom from tyranny. The display of bravery, courage, discipline,  and loyal patriotism makes my flag even more valuable.  The flag of Freedom.

Do we face such things today?  I believe we do. I fear we have lived so long with freedom we forget what the cost was for that freedom.  I believe God is using the circumstances of today to bring us back to truth.

A heavenly war was fought as well. A war against man’s sin.

This war, was for eternal freedom, and would be for all men.  It was a war against evil and its hold on mankind.  It was against the prince of this world, satan himself. The price was high and also required blood and sacrifice.  God knew man could not win this war without heaven’s help.  That is why HE had to send His only son.  Only Jesus, the sinless One could win.  His victory granted us the authority to use the same weapons as Jesus did. He never waivered in loyalty.

Jesus knew the scriptures. We must as well.  It is our first line of defense when we pray to fight against the enemy’s stronghold as he tries desperately to overtake our minds.   Scripture tells us in 2nd Corinthians 10:4-6 King James Version (KJV):

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Your most powerful weapon against evil is the word of God.   We must know what the word says to fight back.  Has the enemy stolen your mind?  Your children?  Your spouse?  Your goods? Your country?

 

Pray this prayer with me.

Dear Jesus,

I come to you now asking You to forgive me of all my wrongdoings, known and unknown.  Cover my sin by Your precious blood shed on the Cross of Calvary.  I repent.  Please come live inside my heart and be the Lord of my life today and every day.  Keep me from the evil one.  Teach me to war in the spirit against the enemy’s tactics. You never lose a battle against the enemy. In Jesus Name, Amen.
