Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David:
but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker. 2 Samuel 3:1
This has been the war of the ages. The natural man against the spirit man. But now it is personal. The enemy of eternal souls has deployed troops to our doorsteps, has laid siege to our own hearts. Right here where our very lives and destinies, even the lives and destinies of our families and each of our children are being forged. We are always sowing into the 'nation' that springs from us. Much depends on the outcomes of the battles we fight today, as well as those from which we retreat.
Make for them a heritage of courage, of faith, of righteousness and glory.
Do not dismiss this, or downplay our place or part.
God Himself has given us this life, this privilege, this moment.
Wake up! Grow up! Arise men and women of God!
While you yet live, inhale the Savior's breath in which
He at once invites, commands and commissions . . . Receive the Holy Spirit.
As the Father has sent Me, so send I you.
With that, He asserts as our Triumphant King, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS.
