We are in Warfare .  We are to wear Armour .  We are to wield a Sword .  We are to walk in Victory . 
<p>
When we talk about anything related to the spirit we bring God into the discussion. Why?
<br>
<center> God is a Spirit . John 4:24 </center>
<p>
When we talk about truth we bring Christ into the duscussion.  Why?
<br>
<center> Jesus is the Truth . John 14:6 </center>
<p>
When we talk about Good we bring God into the discussion.  Why?
<br>
<center> God is Good . Mark 10:18 </center>
<p>
When we talk about Life we bring Christ into the discussion.  Why?
<br>
<center> Jesus is the Life . John 14:6 </center>
<p>
When we talk about Ideas we are taking about Imaginations .  Our Imaginations originate directly or indirectly from God or Satan .  There is no other source, no other Inspiration .
(Yes, I know we like to think that we came up with something unique - that`s just Pride .)
<p>
So, when we look at Political or Social conflicts we must look deep into the origins of the Ideas that spur the conflict.
<p>
When we do so, we discover the Truth .  Either the person believes in the God of the Bible or they don`t.
<p>
To reject the God of the Bible is to accept the enemy of God - Satan .
<p>
When a person rejects God and receives Satan they are filled with Satan`s Ideas . 
<p>
When a person receives God (through Christ Jesus ) and rejects Satan , they are filled with God`s Ideas .
<p>
This is why the Bible says that the Fear  (reverence) of God is the beginning of Wisdom and Knowledge .  It is the foundation.  It is the spring from which the waters of a person`s life flow.
<p>
 Jesus told us to drink the water from His fountain and we would never thirst again.  He meant that we would no longer be confused, no longer searching, no longer adrift.
<p>
Those who are not in Christ are confused, adrift, lost and deceived because they have not the Truth .
<p>
There is no Fellowship between Light and Darkness .  This means that there is a conflict between the two than cannot be resolved.
<p>
So, the SpiritualWarfare in which all Humanity is engaged (in one way or another) cannot be negotiated into Peace .  It will be Won by Christ Jesus one way or another in each person`s life.
<p>
Those that receive Christ receive His Peace .  Those that reject Christ will never know Peace .
<p>
The Weapon of our Warfare is the Sword of the Spirit - the Word of God .  It is mighty to the pulling down of StrongHolds .
<p>
We must Fight the Good Fight of Faith and Faith issues from the Word of God .
<p>
For those who are hungering for Righteousness we extend the Gospel .
<p>
For those who have willingly joined the Enemy against the Kingdom of God we must Speak as our Lord Spoke to the enemies of His earthly Ministry .

 Matthew 3:7 <br><i>
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?</i>
<p>
 Matthew 12:34 <br><i>
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.</i>
<p>
 Matthew 23:33 <br><i>
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell ?</i>

Who were the scribes and Pharisees? <br>... They were people pretending to be Good and to be for Good but were only protecting their self-interests.
<p>
Who are the scribes and Pharisees today? <br>... They are people pretending to be Good and to be for Good but are only protecting their self-interests.
<p>
Who is Christ in the world today? <br>... His Spiritual Body .  
<p>
Just as Jesus proclaimed Abundant Life , Freedom , Love , Joy . Peace , Faith etc.  We ought also to proclaim the Gospel ... first.
<p>
But if the Gospel is rejected out of hand we ought also to warn the Unbeliever of the consequence of rejecting the Grace of God which is the Wrath of God .

 Revelation 20:15 <br><i>
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.</i>
</dir>
We can Win this War because of Christ who strengthens us. <br> But we need no strength or Power to sit back and watch the Enemy continue taking ground.
<p>
Equip yourself with the whole Armour of God . <br>Be filled with the HolySpirit . <br>Enter the fray.  <br>Do exploits for the Kingdom in Christ`s Name .
