War, physical, spiritual, cultural . . .

I just received an e-mail from a military web-site (private, not public) that had the headline "China hacks Pentagon's computers" . . .

Sadly, as any Christian would know, the Christian life is one of continual spiritual war. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers and principalities in the heavenly realm. As a Christian, we are also told to put on the whole armor of God. The belt of truth. The breastplate of righteousness. Most, importantly, the Sword of the Spirit which is the WORD of God.

When we Christians wield these weapons and armaments, we can and do conquer in the MIGHTY name of Jesus Christ!

For example, ironically, China is not only an enemy of the United States of America, but also one of the greatest persecutors of Evangelical and Roman Catholic Christians who refuse to submit their Christian beliefs to being polluted with marxist ideology.

Therefore, Christians in China are conquering that nation from within. Communism may control key resources such as money, political power, but it is through the Sword of the Spirit, that is the WORD of God that China is falling bit by bit to the Name Jesus Christ.

And so, also in the United States of America, although the Name Jesus Christ is increasingly censored within the public realm, be it a Republican Party that looks more and more paranoid each day, be it the public school system, or even military chaplains who forbid Jesus' name being spoken during command ceremonies, or whomever else is the enemy of Jesus Christ, so also are we Christians, Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox conquering by the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God!

Blessings in Jesus,
