Joel is fighting!

What up ya'll?

This last weekend was at youth councils. I blogged on it. Denise probably has/will. I think Doug did too. So I'll spare you another youth council blog, but let me just say God worked around fallibility, answered prayer, and gained victory in New England. Glory to God!

It sounds like there is lots of warfare across the board.. This is the time to press in. Learn to fight. Beg Holy Spirit to give revelation of the fight and what it means to fight and how we fight (for our battle is not against flesh and blood, but the rulers and powers and principalities of this dark age). This is just the beginning. The fight will only get harder until we overcome or until we give up and give in to a life of sleep and ease. As Joshua loves to say "it's time to put up or shut up." Do you call yourself a soldier? Learn to fight. This is the hour where we really draw our swords and engage. There's no where to retreat to. Fight hard. Cling to Jesus. Keep your eyes fixed on Him. It's been a consistent theme throughout the year. Hold fast to it. Fix your eyes on Jesus again.

We WILL overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.

I believe we shall win, if we fight in the strength of the King!
