"A warrior has a vision;...

he has a transcendence to his life, a cause greater than self-preservation...

The quality of a true warrior is that he is in service to a purpose greater than himself; that is, to a transcendent cause." (Wild At Heart)

No matter how distracted we become or how deep into denial we crawl, the reality remains that we are in the midst of a gruesome battle. There are people dying around us - and worse - receiving wounds for which they know no healing! The good news is that there is not a creature God created that does not contain a warrior within. We have all been created with a warrior and a fighter woven into our DNA...God has created us to fight! As I look at my battle scars, I am moved to tears of joy because I know, and have, a personal healer and that the wounds I receive will not cripple me or destroy me! What a gracious God we have! Oh that we would stand up and fight with confidence...that we would fearlessly look into the faces of our enemies and invoke fear into the heart of Satan the way Jesus does...that we would share our God (and our confidence) with those around us! There is a war being waged daily for the hearts of men, and we have a vital part - be proud to stand under the protection of our God and fight fearlessly for the crown of the one true KING!! My prayer for us all is that we would become engrossed in the story that is much bigger than any one of us, but incomplete without our contribution. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Moses talking to Joshua in Joshua 1:9)

Go and fight with courage, for the Lord our God is with YOU!
