Time to Man Battle Stations

Time to Man Battle Stations

The call to arms has never been stronger. The battle cry is ringing out from heaven. The battle ground is moving from the heavenlies to here on earth – it is moving into Satan’s territory. No longer will he invade our land, although he will still try, albeit with decreasing success. Instead, the Lord is calling us to take back the land he has stolen over the years.

In Judges 6&7, the story is told of how Gideon, with just 300 men, destroyed the Midianite hordes because the Lord was with him. In Judges 7:18 we read, “When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets on every side of the whole camp, and say, ‘The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!’”” We stand today on the edge of a new Gideon army, a small band willing to listen for God’s call, who will sound their own battle trumpets. Satan hates the sound of them because they always signal the Lord’s presence in battle and, therefore, Satan’s defeat.

How many times have we read that “the fields are white unto harvest but the labourers are few”? How much harvest has been wasted or even lost because the Lord’s army has been unprepared, or unwilling, or even just plain disobedient? The hour is very fast approaching when the Lord will call His new army of harvesters to their battle stations. 

The time to be ready is NOW. The time to take up our weapons of war is NOW. The time for standing by and watching is over. Today the Lord is calling His Gideon army to battle readiness. Today is the day to declare war on whatever is opposing you. List all that the enemy has stolen from you over the years – there is your battleground. Take heart, the Lord is with us and on our side. The battle is His.

The enemy is defeated by King Jesus. NOW is the moment for which creation has groaned for so long. NOW is battle hour! NOW is harvest time.
