Fighting For Christ

A few days ago I was speaking to a prophet friend of mine, and they shared with me a word that the Lord had given them for 2016. The word was that 2016 was going to be a "Warring Year". Isn't it something that one of the biggest movies of 2015 was entitled "War Room"? The prophetic word registered with my spirit. Saints, if you want 2016 to be a prosperous and successful year, then you need to prepare your heart, mind and body for War. It's time that we prepare to Fight for Christ.

One of the areas that we're going to have to War is in the area of Spiritual Growth. The scripture says in Romans chapter 7, "but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin". The wrestle between the flesh and the Spirit is a War (Galatians 5). And if we're going to continue to progress in Christ we're going to have to fight it. We can't just "go with the flow" and let our fleshly tendencies get the best of us. A lot of times yielding to the flesh is natural (Ephesians 2). But as the children of God, we're not reaching for the natural, we're reaching for the Supernatural. And in order to walk in the Supernatural, we must first learn to endure the un-natural. Yes it will be awkward and uncomfortable, but it's the price you pay when you're Fighting for Christ.

Then we're going to have to Fight for Christ in regards to the advancement of the Kingdom of God. We must always remember that as Christians we are always up against the Enemy (John 10). Satan rules over the kingdom of darkness. Our job is to vanquish that darkness by promoting the Light of the world (John 1). However, in order to carry out this Commission, we have to go to War. We have to be willing to fight for the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Are you ready to fight for Christ and His Kingdom even if it means death? Even if it means the smearing of your reputation? Even if it means the loss of family and friends?

Lastly saints, the prophet said that 2016 is going to be a Warring Year. The prophet did not say this specifically, but I believe that we're going to see actual warfare, like nations fighting nations, in 2016. Yes, America is at war with ISIS right now, but I believe a greater war, literally and physically, awaits this nation this year. I do not have prophetic confirmation on this, this is just my faith. But I said all of last year that America is set up for Divine Judgment and that the Father has declared that HE IS going to Shake America! My personal belief is that part of this Divine Shaking will be manifested in national warfare in the United States of America.

Don't let these things frighten you saints. Use this warning as motivation to get Prepared. This is the Year. I believe that 2016 is going to be a Great Year. God is going to Move in Ways that we've never witnessed before. But in order for the Divine Movement of God to be a Blessing in your life, you must be willing and prepared to Fight for Christ.
