Jeremiah 48

Good Morning “Sword Fighters”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 48.

The battle is real!  Satan wages spiritual war against the people of God (1 Peter 5:8).  Any soldier of war that does not take battle danger seriously is likely to end up a casualty - muerto (dead). As soldiers in a spiritual battle if we don’t take our battle seriously we’re liable to end up spiritually dead - of no consequence.  Although we cannot lose our salvation (Hebrews 13:5), we can become fruitless for The Kingdom (John 15:5).  

Satan doesn’t have to get us to worship himself… he only needs to distract us from God and His Word long enough to allow our flesh to take over (James 1:14).  Apart from Gods Word, it WILL take over (Romans 12:2).  The nations were judged for their idolatry - ascribing worship to things other than God.  In fact, ANYTHING we put before God constitutes an idol in our lives (Exodus 20:3-5, Colossians 3:5)

“A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work! A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!” Jeremiah‬ ‭48‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you bring your Sword (The Word of God) into battle (Ephesians 6:17)?  Do you know how to wield it correctly?  We must!  It’s our ONLY hope!  “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If we’re in a battle, and we definitely are - we ought always be on the ready.  Review Ephesians 6:10-20.  

Love you all!  Dig in!
