We Are At War

Revelation 17:12-14 - 12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

Regardless of what you decide to recognize and believe, the truth is we are at war. Do not be deceived. You are a soldier in this cosmic battle between good and evil. The battle lines have been drawn since the beginning of the age, and the choice of kingdoms is yours and yours alone. You cannot elude making a choice as to which side of the battle line you will find yourself fighting on. For failure to choose sides is a choice of sides in and of itself. If you are not for the King, then you are against Him. Plain and simple.

The kingdoms of men have been at war with the Kingdom of God ever since Adam decided to live in his own kingdom instead of God's. Adam chose his own way, and willfully walked away from God's Kingdom. However, God's Kingdom was not defeated nor did it lose any of its domain. Man was the one who was defeated. And the defeat of man could never be construed as dissolving or absolving God's Kingdom. Man's choice was simply not to recognize or reside in the only true Kingdom.

The battle is bloody and the casualties have been high. Many men have lost their physical lives on both sides of this battle. Many men have chosen to abandon their allegiances in exchange for the truth and in exchange for lies.

God's Kingdom has principles and laws. It has an order to it. The Kingdom of God is authentic and original. That means it has original jurisdiction, original law, original power and original authority.

The war rages on, although the outcome is already decided. You have a choice. What role will you play in this epoch battle. Will you chose to live in the true Kingdom under the reign and rule of the one true King? The only absolute sovereign? Or, will you chose to be your own authority and eternal damnation? The choice is yours. No one can make it for you.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 - 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
