THE BATTLE PLAN (to be continued)

Psst … fellow Christian … over here.

It’s really important in these days to band together. We need to form a block vote.  Here is a list of current topics that we need to stand against.

 

Psst … fellow Christian … over here.

It’s the end times. This evangelist has a prophetic message.

 

Psst … fellow Christian … over here.

The enemy has gained a foothold in the mainstream churches – get out now.

 

Psst … fellow Christian … over here.

You need to be doing a ministry, giving money, witnessing to your neighbors.

 

There is some truth to the above statements. But they are insufficient, both in words and ways to walk victoriously in Christ until He returns.

 

Matthew 24:23 – 25

         “At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or “There he is!’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect – if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time.”

 

Jesus gave us these words for a reason. Part of our battle plan is to listen to what Jesus has said – in His own words – from the Bible

* not from another Christian’s interpretation

* not from a commentary

* not from a blog (that’s right not this one either)

* not from the media (even if they are a Christian politician – is that an oxymoron? Not necessarily.)

* not from our best friend

 

Does that mean we can’t read Christian books, commentaries, listen to TV evangelists, follow a blog, talk to our friends? Of course not. This message today isn’t to put more obstacles in our path but rather to recognize that if we are going to do true spiritual battle … we are going to need a clear battle plan. We are going to need to follow a trusted leader … Someone who never fails and always knows the way. Yep! Only Jesus fills the bill.

 

The Bible is a protected, eternal, word of God.

         Luke 21:33

         Matthew 5:18

         2 Timothy 3:16

 

Go look them up – Let the battle plan begin!
