JESUS Will ALWAYS Be The Dragons FOE!

Rev 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels,

Rev 12:8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

War always will rage between the two great sovereignties until one or other be crushed.

Peace between good and evil is an Impossibility; the very pretense of it would, in fact, be the triumph of the powers of darkness.

Michael will always fight; his holy soul is vexed with sin, and will not endure it.

Jesus will Always be the dragon’s foe, and that not in a quiet sense, but Actively, Vigorously, with Full Determination to Exterminate Evil.

All his servants, whether angels in heaven or messengers on earth, will and must fight;

They are born to be Warriors - at the cross they enter into covenant Never to make truce with evil;

They are a warlike company, Firm in defense and Fierce in attack.

The duty of every soldier in the army of the Lord is daily, with all his heart, and soul, and strength, to fight against the dragon.

The dragon and his angels will not decline the affray; they are incessant in their onslaughts, sparing no weapon, fair or foul.

We are Foolish to expect to serve God without opposition:

The more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed by the myrmidons of hell.

The church may become slothful, but not so her Great Antagonist;

His restless spirit never suffers the war to pause; he Hates the woman’s seed, and would fain devour the church if he could.

The servants of Satan partake much of the old dragon’s energy, and are usually an active race.

War rages all around, and to dream of peace is dangerous and futile.

Glory be to God, we know the end of the war.

The great dragon shall be Cast out and Forever Destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with him shall receive the crown.

Let us sharpen our swords tonight, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict.

Never battle so important, never crown so glorious.

Every man to his Post, ye Warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!

~Charles Spurgeon~

Abundantly Able

Rom 4:21  And being Fully Persuaded that, what he had Promised, he was Able also to Perform.

We are told that Abraham could look at his own body and consider it as good as dead Without Being Discouraged, because he was not looking at himself but at the Almighty One.

He did not stagger at the promise, but Stood Straight Up Unbending beneath his mighty load of blessing; 

And instead of growing weak he waxed Strong in the Faith, grew more robust, the more difficulties became apparent, glorifying God through His very sufficiency.

And being "Fully Persuaded" (as the Greek expresses it) "that he who had promised was," not merely able, but as it literally means "Abundantly Able," Munificently Able, Able with an Infinite Surplus Of Resources, Infinitely Able "To Perform."

He is the GOD Of Boundless Resources. 

The Only Limit Is In Us. 

Our asking, our thinking, our praying are Too Small; our Expectations are Too Limited. 

He is trying to Lift Us Up to a Higher Conception, and lure us on to a Mightier Expectation and Appropriation. 

Oh, shall we put Him in derision? 

There is No Limit to what we may Ask and Expect of our glorious El-Shaddai; 

And there is but One measure here given for His blessing, and that is According to the Power That Worketh In Us.
