Worship Is Your Battle Cry

All life - seen right - is spiritual warfare. Paul made no bones about it when he wrote to the Christ-followers in Ephesus. No fight is against the “enemy” you see. Those are circumstances. 

The person you’re at odds with isn’t your real enemy. Nor is cancer. 

No, our real enemy is more sinister. It’s the “evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,” the “mighty powers in this dark world” and “evil spirits in the heavenly places.” 

You can find peace with these enemies. Think, look, act like the world. Oh yes, these enemies will cheer you on. They may even “bless” you. 

But that’s destructive pacifism. Give no quarter, take no prisoners. Your real enemy lurks to “kill and steal and destroy.” 

If you’re constantly at war, worship is your battle cry. Take any worship song (or psalm) you want. Don’t sing it - shout it. Shout it to strike fear in Satan’s black heart. Shout it to the dark horizon where, when the the morning sun breaks, God will rain down Hell on The Enemy. 

Try it with “This Is Amazing Grace.” Shout these words back to your savior:

“Who breaks the power of sin and darkness?

Whose love is mighty and so much stronger?

The King of Glory, the King above all kings. 

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder

And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder?

The King of Glory, the King above all kings.”

You’ll never see worship the same again.
