From the dawn of history, there has been a raging war between good and evil. The greatest war in world history was not Yorktown, where George Washington crushed William Wallace while fighting for the independence of the Thirteen Colonies, which brought forth the American Revolution and, out of the womb of war, came forth, America. The greatest battle in the world was not D-Day, when our troops stormed the beaches of Normandy under the command of General Eisenhower and invaded and crushed the Axis powers of Hitler. If not for the common restraint of grace, some of you would make Hitler look like a Westminster Abbey choirboy. The greatest battle fought was not found in the winter trenches of Korea or in the blood-soaked swamps of Vietnam. Only in this country can a Vietnam veteran walk the streets sick and homeless while a draft dodger sleeps in the White House.
The greatest battle ever fought was not found in the dry Muslim hills of Afghanistan, where the United States troops breached the Taliban under the radical Islamic command of Osama bin Laden. The crisis in the Middle East was a family feud that started thousands of years ago between Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac is the father of the Jews, and Ishmael is the father of the Arabs. This war will not cease in the Middle East until the Prince of Peace sets His feet on the Temple Mount.
Calvary, the skull, was the greatest battle ever fought. Jesus Christ, the Prince of glory, and Satan, the prince of darkness, climbed the summit and waged war for the eternal human soul. This is a war between the flesh and the Spirit, and a supernatural war between light and darkness. This is a war between truth and lie. This war is between Jesus Christ and the anti-Christ. Every person feels the affliction of this supernatural war on their soul daily. The war on the human soul is an inward civil war and has the ability to assassinate and annihilate the mind, body, and soul. This war is a life-and-death struggle that will determine a person's spiritual success. This battle will determine the fruits of your spiritual growth, a person's marriage, overall relationships, and determine their emotional well-being. This war against spiritual and carnal desires will eventually determine a person's destiny for their immortal soul.
This war is not against flesh and blood but against powers and spiritual forces of wickedness, which speaks of Satan and his demonic goons who are trying to spread the demonic agenda for the souls of the nations of the world. These creepy-crawling creatures are constantly trying to attack every human mind to deceive people so they can drag every soul possible into the irritable, infernal bowels of hell. Every person has a chance to win this supernatural war because Christ has given us the victory. We must now take the initiative and walk out our faith because Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Multiplied millions are willing to sacrifice their lives for a natural war to fight for political freedom. What about the sacrifice for spiritual warfare? In natural warfare, men will spend fortunes on superior weapon systems. Yet, for spiritual warfare, they won't give a dime to advance the kingdom of God. In the kingdom of God, a little difference makes all the difference in the economy of God. For natural warfare, men and women will abandon their homes for years but won't fight the powers and the principalities of darkness that are ripping this nation to pieces for several hours a week. For natural warfare, men and women will freeze in foxholes and lie face down in the mud and the blood. Yet, when they come home, they find it absolutely impossible to pray to God and gather in the assembly of the saints, carpeted with a multivocal choir singing Sweet Hour of Prayer.
