Authority of the Believer

God is building His end time army. Jesus gave us all power and authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and nothing of the enemy shall injure us. (Luke 10:19) The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in Christ Jesus. I'm a wrestling coach, so I know about physical battles, but this war is in the spirit realm where physical weapons are meaningless.
"An Evening of Prayer for Ramona" calls for us to dust off our swords and enter the spiritual battleground against the forces of darkness. Jesus paid the price on Calvary 2,000 years ago, that we might have life and have it more abundantly. He defeated satan and now we are to walk in His victory over the devil. We do that when we pray. As the Body of Christ we have great power. If we truly believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior and the Bible is the Word of God, then we can move forward as a united front to reclaim the youth of Ramona and this nation. This younger generation faces wickedness like we've never seen before. They will be lost, if we don't do something. That something is prayer, collective prayer by the Body of Christ. We have to reclaim this country - this land, just like Joshua did when he went into the Promisied Land.
"Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or our adversaries." (Joshua 5:13-14)
Don't you love Joshua. He was ready for battle that very moment. He was ready to fight. That's the way we need to be, but our battle is on our knees. Our weapon of choice is the Sword of the Spirit - the Word of God.
Look at the reply to Joshua, "He said, 'No; rather I indeed come now as the Captain of the Host of the Lord."
When we enter the war zone, the Lord is inside of us and He's leading the charge. Jesus always led from the front. He wasn't in the rear guard, but right on the front lines offering His Body and Blood for the victory. Because He was victorious, we can walk in that victory. Look at Revelations 19, "He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His Name is called the Word of God. And armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that He will strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron, and He will press of the fierce wrath of God."
God is very angry with the devil. He loves His children very much and doesn't want them to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire. He desperately wants His army to mobilize and fight back with the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. He wants us to come together and pray for the youth of Ramona and this nation. On Sept. 4th at 6PM I invite you to come out to Ramona Oaks Park in Ramona, Ca. If you are a Believer in Jesus Christ, we need you! Our Youth and our Nation need your prayers. We have the authority and the victory over satan in Christ Jesus and on Sept 4th we will push back the forces of darkness and reclaim our youth and our nation!
