This... Changes Everything!

- Captain Scott Strissel in JAC online -

“The divine breath evokes divine harmonies.” General Frederick Coutts

My Dear Salvationists,
Are there not days when you feel tired, worn and spent?
Are there not moments when circumstances and reality hit you square between the eyes and you can’t help but wonder about where you breaking point might be?
Are there not moments when you leave home long before the sun rises and finally enter your home once again well after the sun has gone to bed?

This fight is not a fight that we will win on our own.

What fight you ask?  It is the fight against sin.  It is the fight against injustice.  It is the fight against poverty; the fight we as Christ-followers engage in every day.   We will never be strong enough on our own, yet pride-fully we attempt such feats only to find discouragement and loss.  We cannot defeat the enemy, who is the father of lies and the bondages of sin -- on our own.  We are not the source of strength, we never were.  We were not created to be islands unto ourselves, self-sustaining and without need of help.

Our weapons of war are provided to us.
God the Father sent His Spirit to guide and to provide.
He alone has the power to equip us in these battles we fight.

The battles are far from over.  They are turbulent and many casualties within our ranks have occurred; yet, because of His great love and His love for those who are lost, we carry on.

You might be wondering, “So what changes everything?”
What is the tipping point within the war?
What is our secret weapon you ask?
