As we prepare to transition into this Season of Judgment and the commencement of the Kingdom Movement, we need to understand that It's Time to Go To War. The Season that we're about to enter is not going to be light and fluffy. Yes, it will be full of the Joy of the Lord. Yes, the Lord will bless us to have some good times. But it's extremely important that we understand what time it is; It's Time to Go to War. Which means that as Soldier of Jesus Christ, you need to be prepared to Fight. You need to be prepared to Battle. You need to be prepared to engage in Warfare.
We often talk about wanting to get to "The Promised Land". Everybody wants to leave the wanderings of the wilderness and enter into the milk and honey of the Canaann land. Nothing's wrong with this aspiration. But keep in mind that when God allowed the Israelites to Cross the Jordan and enter the Promised Land, the first thing that they had to do was fight. It wasn't about kicking up your heels and "chilling". There was work to be done and wars to fight. And saints, such will be the case when God releases the clarion call and the Blessing for the Kingdom Movement that He has ordained to take place in the earth. There is a group of saints that have been "called" to go to Warfare. I suspect that you may very well be one of them.
The significance of War is the occupation of territory. Nobody goes to war just for the sake of battle. When you see nations going to war with each other, and lives being lost, it's because there's a dispute over territory. Such is the case saints in the Spirit realm. The bible clearly says that the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein (Psalm 24). The Crucifixion of Jesus and His Death was not just an act of Redemption, it was also an Act of War. The Crucifixion of Christ won back the title deed to the earth that the "first" Adam (1Corinthians 15) had forfeited in his disobedience to the Father. That's why Jesus said that all power (authority and rule) in heaven and earth, are in My Hands (Matthew 28). Now that the Father has restored legal authority of His earth back to man (humanity) through the Redemptive work of His Son, the earth can be restored and re-established under the ruling authority of the Kingdom of God. This is where the church comes in, because our job is to fight the forces of the kingdom of darkness, to reclaim what Jesus purchased through the shedding of His Blood.
We have the power saints (if we've learned to access it and operate in it). God The Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit are backing us. But somebody has to go out and fight. Somebody has to take a stand. Somebody has to be willing to stand up to the Goliaths. Somebody has to be willing to confront the Pharoahs. Somebody has to be willing to call out the Herods, even if it means having to get your head cut off. But the blessing is saints, The Victory is already ours! No weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54). Are you ready to take nations and regions for the Kingdom of God? Are you ready to see communities transformed in the name of Christ? Are you ready to see the Kingdom of God established in the very fabric of the culture of this nation? I am. If you are, then It's Time to Go To War.
