It's Time to Go to War!

Bishop Clarence Williams • General
It is time for the Body of Christ to Wake Up! and Step Up! The devil is the one behind every ungodly thing that happens in your ministry, in your home, and in this nation.

Have you ever felt like giving up and throwing in the towel?  Have you ever felt like the load you are carrying is more than you can bear?  These are genuine emotions, and some days are worse than others, but know this – these are distractions of the devil to hinder the work of God in you; to put you at a standstill; to prevent you from moving forward and fulfilling your purpose and reaching your destiny. The devil is behind every evil thing in the earth today, and the Bible says he comes to kill, steal, and destroy.  Yes, he has power, but Jesus said, "Behold, I give you power°over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

 

It is time for the Body of Christ to Wake Up! and Step Up!  The devil is the one behind every ungodly thing that happens in your ministry, in your home, and in this nation.  Your spouse, boss, neighbors, and children are not your problem. Your battles are spiritual, and it's time for the church to wake up to the supernatural realm.  There is a change coming, and the devil will not prevail.  God puts you in places like your jobs, your communities, and your situations to rage war against demonic activity.  He has given you spiritual armor to clothe yourselves with daily, so you can always be armed for battle; but there is no use in putting on the Armor of God if there's no inner change – a spiritual change. 

 

It's not about your feelings anymore.  It's time to get on the frontlines, stop complaining, and go to war!  That's what you are called to do and trained to do as people of God.  When you don't do what you're called to do, you are AWOL (Absent Without Leave); but it's time to stop compromising.  It's time to Man-Up!  You are in war, whether you want to be or not – your marriage, your family, your health, your city, your nation, and your finances.  For this war, however, you can't go in your own strength.  The Scriptures tell us to be strong in the Lord!  When you are AWOL, you are not where you used to be, or where you should be – no longer on fire for the things of God like you used to be – lukewarm.  But what used to be doesn't matter anymore.  Where are you now?  What are you going to do now?  You have a battle to fight, and you can stand against the enemy. It's time to shape up and stand up for righteousness.  If you want to see something change – then change it. 

 

It's time to understand that you are at war, and the enemy will be on your tracks until Jesus comes; but know that God has given you the power to overcome, and no weapon that forms against you will prosper.  You are a force to be reckoned with; the ones God wants to use – the Church of the Living God.  You will not be on the defense all the time – things are changing, and you are going on the offense. It's time for some giants to fall in your life.  The most awesome weapon in the arsenal of Christ is the Word of God (the Sword of the Spirit).  It is time to know the Word and let it come out of your mouth.  God sent his Word to save you, heal you, deliver you, bless you, and so much more.  All power and authority has been given to you, the Church.  Using the weapons God has given you, including the Name of Jesus, makes it an uneven fight -- it tilts the scale in your favor.  You are at war, yes, but you are going to win this battle!  Let's fight together!
