As I long ago said . . . we are in something called "total war". It is a war on ALL fronts. It's not yer ol' pappy's war, like ya see in the movies. No. It is war on all fronts. Sociological, psychological, physical, logistical, . . . culture . . . body . . . mind, (of course spiritual) wherever these elements of your soul/being/body exist here in this realm. All fronts. Total war.
And why not? OF COURSE, if you are seeking to literally, un-apologetically, with no scruples take down an enemy . . . and you are serious about it; well, of course, you wage the war on ALL FRONTS. Go for broke!
This is especially effective when you have time and patience on your side and you have already ascertained (AND HELPED CAUSE) the target(s) to be oblivious and distracted as to your subterfuge and intent on total destruction. Wars are won by obfuscation, deception, false flags etc. You fight to win!
........well, ... all wars except THE WAR OF WARS. The Good Fight. . . .
THAT one has different ultimate rules, made by The Ruler.
And He revels . . . in appearing the underdog . . . the weak . . . the meek . . . the broken . . . the lost . . . the struggling . . . the hanging onto His hem by a bare finger tip. . . . Because our weakness is His strength! HIS glory is shown, where, in our weakness and neediness for HIS Spirit, HIS help, ends up being exemplified! So that there can be no boasting! Only HIS glory is preeminent! None shall boast!
Our strength, our perseverance, our victory . . . is not in waging "total war" on perceived (or programmed) "enemies". . . . No. Our victory is and must and has to be solely based on faith and knowledge of HIS reality and ultimate, eternal care.
This life goes fast. You die. One way or the other . . . you are already dead--a walking dead.
There is ONLY life in Him!--In that kernel of faith and knowledge and sense of His perfect grace and love and purpose. . . !
Indeed, we are (as usual) in intense, warfare, chaotic times. . . .
We are being waged against by those of cunning, who seek to utilize the methods of "total war" to finally subdue us and thwart and malign and mock God. THE Rebellion! And we are seeing it "up close and personal!"
But it won't . . . it can't . . . work.
As He has directed, the weapons of our necessitated defense ARE SPIRITUAL WEAPONS. The enemy's big trick is to propagandize and attempt to make us forget, doubt, fear, reject THAT WE ARE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS, CREATURES OF THE ONE AND ONLY LIVING TRUE AND OMNIPOTENT GOD, CREATOR, KING OF ALL!
And He is closer than you are led to realize! ....... This is HIS world and we are HIS creatures and He is not that far away! Hence, why the enemy does so many silly and loud and chaotic, wicked, perverse things to distract!
With the eye of faith . . . especially now, where, yes, things are as dire as they ever are . . . for you, for us in THIS TIME, OUR TIME . . . the eye of faith and His grace . . . is just as powerful and omnipotent as it ever was, has been, will be. . . .
You know and love Him. He knows the dire situation. HE is not interested in the temporary machinations and flailing, perverted "kingdoms" of this world, except as they fulfill HIS purposes.
We are made for the world to come. THIS is not our world. We are travelers, wayfarers, like The Master who had no where to lay His head . . . . Passing through, not of this world. . . .
YES, it takes real courage to know and see and accept that FOR REAL. BUT HE gives you the courage, just as He always has, to all the martyrs and saints, through the ages . . . right up until the end.
Praise God!
