We live in a “war-zone,” a spiritual “war-zone” where the Glory of God is attacked, where the souls of people and their eternal welfare is violently opposed in the spiritual realm, manifested with the allurements and temptations to seduce the souls of people into believing that this world and this world’s system- which opposes the rule of God over their lives. The system seeks to entangle people that possessions, prestige, are the ultimate pursuit, goal and end for living.
 
It is a battle, a spiritual battle for the souls of people, ultimately the worship of the LORD Jesus Christ is what the battle is over, by every soul whom He made and died for.
 
When the devil tempted Jesus what was it he ultimately wanted… Worship! he said “If you fall down {the picture of submission} and Worship ME, I will give you all these things.”-{Matt 4:9 } more than anything else he craves , wanted to be worshiped above all, and indeed to have God;Son worship him. We live in a world where people want to be worshiped, want the glory, want the power, the recognition which is rightfully due to god and God alone! heaven shows who is worshiped, it is Him…
 
WORSHIP HIM AS CREATOR;
“the twenty-four elders fall down and WORSHIP THE ONE SITTING ON THE THRONE (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say,
 
“You are worthy, O Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power.
For you created all things,
and they exist because You created what you pleased.” ” – { Rev 4:10-11}
 
WORSHIP HIM AS REDEEMER;
 
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” And I heard every creature in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!” And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and WORSHIPED.…” -{Rev 5;12-14}
 
THE BATTLE IS FOR WORSHIP…
Who is Worthy to be Submitted to and Served and to receive the Glory and honor! satan desires it, the world system promotes it for itself and people pursue it but only GOD DESERVES it!
 
People are held captive, prisoners by the devil
“.,.held captive by him to do his will. “-{2 Tim 2:26}
 
People are Spiritually Blinded by the devil;
“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. “-{2 Cor 4:4}
 
Sometimes we forget that we are in a fight, as we at times get sucked into the false teaching that what you drive, where you live what you possess, is what defines you. Maybe in this world, but not in the next world!
 
We too often tend to live by sight … rather than faith in our Faithful God! Thank God we can begin afresh, asking Him to remind us we are here to Know Him, serve Him and seek His honor and glory while we are sojourning, living as aliens, soldiers of the Cross in a society opposed to His Glory. It does not mean we with draw from people, shun people, look down on people, but feel for people, who are spiritually shackled in sin, deceived and dead in their sin, without God or hope in this world.
 
WE HAVE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL – JESUS CHRIST!
 
“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me,
because he has anointed Me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,”-{Luke 4:18}
 
Look at the condition of EVERY PERSON you will meet, see or hear of who is outside of Christ, irrespective of sex, nationality, education, where they live, what they work at… they ALL are ‘poor” the term means Spiritually bankrupt of heart. ‘Prisoners,’..’Blind’ to the things of God…’oppressed’… and look now at Jesus ministry for each one. He has ‘GOOD NEWS” for them…. ‘FREEDOM… SIGHT… SET FREE THE OPPRESSED!
And He has entrusted us this GOOD NEWS… for our battle in the warfare is HIS LIFE SAVING WORD… Powerful… LIBERATING Word that the Holy Spirit uses, to set free the captives and He who set you free and has left you here to be a co laborer with Him in the pursuit of the souls of people!
 
We can Pray -{1 Tim 2:1-3}
We can Evangelize -{Phil 1:12-13}
We can Love – {Matt 5:44}
We are to continually Go with The Gospel which is the power of God unto Salvation – { Mark 16:15; Rom 1:16} –
 
Stay Alert
 
FOCUS on PEOPLE not  POSSESSIONS, PRESTIGE
 
YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES;
 
Paul wrote, “…I want you to know, my circumstances have worked out to further the Gospel.” -{Phil 1:12}
 
WE HAVE -SPIRITUAL POWER- WEAPONS FOR THIS SPIRITUAL FIGHT!
His Word,
His Spirit,
our Weapons of Victory!
 
” The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have DIVINE POWER power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ ” -{ 2 Cor 10:4-5}
 
HE IS WORTHY TO BE…WORSHIPED! –
