SPIRITUAL WARFARE
In NT Paul says "For though we walk in the flesh, we do
not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but
mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
You think of Islam
for a moment and you will discover
a religion that believes in brute force ultimately, in order to achieve its
goal of world domination. They use subvert
nations by way of military might from its very inception ; and whoever will not
submit will simply be wiped away. They call it as Jihad, and we Christians get
quite alarmed hear Islamic people speaking about Jihad. But, you know,
Christianity has its own Jihad, and that is world domination: that the kingdoms
of this world would become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that he
would reign for ever and ever. But here is the
difference what Islam teaches is a military campaign with
physical weapons of warfare to overthrow governments and subvert nations. Christianity teaches a holy war which is
spiritual. We must never forget
that the power belongs unto God. The Lord Jesus Christ
once said, "Without me you can do nothing" . Without that intimacy
with God , we will be rendered impotent as we seek to engage in this battle
that we are to fight in the world.
