"What are we fighting for?"
"What are we fighting for?"
Mark 9:4
"And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus."
A "peek behind the veil"...
the Transfiguration, where Jesus's divine nature is momentarily revealed to Peter, James, and John.
A powerful glimpse of the spiritual reality that exists beyond ordinary human perception.
Moses (the law) Elijah (the prophets) and Jesus (Divine purpose fulfilled). All together, in a vision of our future glory.
These glimpses provide assurance that our hope is not misplaced. There was a purpose for this "peek behind the veil". With Divine Revelation, Comes Divine motivation, what we are witnessing now is in this world and in our country, with the lawlessness, disorder and cultural terrorism, is a preliminary skirmish between good and evil. This new motivation wasn't some accident or twist of fate! This motivation is a call to engage where we will be heard, share the Gospel with others, "Go and make disciples of all nations!" Stop evil from claiming our own!
Heavenly Father, give me the courage to fight these battles, proclaim Your Name, and claim the victory that Jesus achieved when we layed our white flags before His feet! Prayer in silence is for love, wisdom and direction direction, being shown to us by Your comforting caresses.
Prayer out loud, is a battle cry, a prayer declaring victory over these battles we see playing out in our streets. Lord help me take the battle to the streets! In the Mighty Name of Jesus, let Your Will be DONE.
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
The spiritual struggle described in this article draws directly from biblical truths that emphasize the invisible yet real conflict between good and evil. Ephesians 6:12 powerfully reminds us that our battles transcend physical confrontations and instead involve spiritual forces of darkness that influence the world around us. This understanding helps believers to shift focus from human foes to the cosmic powers behind the scenes. The Transfiguration event, referenced through Mark 9:4, serves as a divine revelation showing Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus, symbolizing the law and the prophets pointing to Jesus—the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. This glimpse into heavenly glory encourages believers to stand firm with hope and conviction knowing that current worldly struggles are part of a larger spiritual reality. In practical terms, this means that Christians are called not merely to passive prayer but to active engagement—praying both silently for guidance and boldly as a spiritual battle cry to claim victory already won by Jesus. The call to "Go and make disciples of all nations" underlines the mission to spread hope and righteousness amidst cultural and moral challenges. Contemporary manifestations of lawlessness and disorder can be perceived as the early skirmishes in this cosmic struggle. The article urges believers to take courage, relying on divine motivation to confront evil with faith and love. Prayers become declarations of victory when they embody trust in God's will and power, transforming fear into strength. Ultimately, by understanding what we fight for—the triumph of divine purpose over darkness—we gain clarity and motivation. Rather than being overwhelmed by chaos, believers can find a personal mission to uphold righteousness, extend God’s kingdom, and stand as lights in a world shadowed by spiritual conflict.
