The church that we pastor is a great group of people, and I love them dearly. Unfortunately, there always seems to be one crisis or another at any given time with a person or entire family - urgent needs.
I know God brought us to Oakville for a purpose - that we're not just here to maintain. So in striving to fulfill this purpose, I see many souls that need to be saved, many people that are in bondage to drugs, other habits, lifestyles and addictions that are keeping them from experiencing all God has for them. It's also keeping them from doing what God wants them to. Couples ready to give up on their marriages, children being rebellious, people in financial ruin, people being offended by petty things, Bible studies being disrupted, and on and on the list goes.
So my thoughts........WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?
I firmly believe that the spiritual world is just as real as the physical world - even more so, because it never dies! So, if we look at what is going on in the spiritual world, what would we see?
We have an enemy. He wants to stop us from being victorious. Could it be he's causing havock in our lives, and worse yet.......why are we allowing him to? We are not ignorant of his schemes, we are not powerless, yet we seem to be always defeated. Let's open our spiritual eyes and look at what's really going on.
Stand up, Christians, put on the full armor of God, stop playing church, and be strong in the Lord! This battle is fought on our knees! Pray and see the victories come!
