We Were Made for War - part 2

Every story has a villain:
Little Red Riding Hood had the wolf,
Dorothy had to face the wicked witch,
Neo battles the powerful agents to release the captives of the Matrix,
Frodo is hunted by the black riders,
Beowulf kills the monster Grendal, and then must fight Gendal’s Mother
Saint George slays the dragon,
the children who stumble into Narania are called by Aslan to battle the white witch and her armies
so that Narnia could be free.
Every story has a villain because the true story of which you are a part has an enemy. Life is very confusing if you do not take into account that there is a villain. We live in a world at war. We have an enemy who is trying to steal our freedom, kill our heart, steal our life.
The glory of God is man fully alive and to live in ignorance of spiritual warfare is most foolish.
This is an area we often neglect in the church today.

It’s like
walking through
downtown Miami at night
waving your wallet above your head.

To live in ignorance of the battle that is present in most dangerous and naïve.

It’s like
swimming with the sharks
dressed like a wounded seal
covered in fresh blood.

We don’t get to escape spiritual warfare simply because you choose not to believe it exists.
