IN AGREEMENT?

Last night at the leadership meeting Barney gave us a lesson about the relevance of the sword and the warrior and how it's critical for the warrior to know how to use his weapon. He shared that while with the Sheriff's office they had someone come and speak to them about it. Part of his exercise was to have them clean their handgun to become familiar with it, then clean it blindfolded, then clean it while doing sit-ups then clean it while doing sit-ups blindfolded. As a follower of Christ, a blood bought son of the living God, we too are warriors, and in so our weapon is the Word of God. My desire is to help others live in the blessings and freedom of God. To do this I need to know my weapon, inside and out, even while blindfolded.

Then Pastor B followed with a teaching about being in agreement and the desire of the enemy is to keep us out of agreement. It's no secret that satan uses divide and destroy tactics and has been using them for generation. He continues to use them because they are effective and he knows how much power there is when people stand together on the Word of God. Just as Barney taught how important it is to know your weapon (the Bible) and Pastor B taught about the plan of the enemy to keep us divided, the thing that will keep us effective is to know and stand on the truth so we can not be deceived by the lies which will cause division. The Bible teaches that our battle is not flesh and blood but spiritual but the lie is that it is flesh and blood.

I challenge you with 2 things, 1- search your heart and if you hold anything against another then get that resolved immediately and 2- learn you weapon the Bible inside and out to the point that you know it with your eyes closed, then let that word guide you as you become the man that God has created you to be.
