to who is reading..
God is strong, and he wants you strong. so take everything the master has set out for you, well-based weapons of the best materials. and put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the devil throws your way. this is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. this is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the devil and all his angels. Be prepared. you're up against far more than you can handle on your own. take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. learn how to apply them. you'll need them throughout your life. God's word is an "indispensable" weapon. in the same way, prayer is esential in this ongoing warfare. pray hard and long. pray for your brothers and sisters. keep your eyes open. keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out... ephesians 6:10-18 (the mssg)
may we equip ourselves with the necessary to fulfill this task, this purpose, this divine mandate on earth, may we care for the widow, and the fatherless, may we bring justice where there is injustice, may we take Hope to where there's none, peace where there is anxiety, Love where there is fear, salvation where there is brokenness, for the orphan, for the blind, for the sick, for the one who's never heard about Jesus, for the one who's never felt his Love,may we, this generation!, be light!, represent Christ!, stand for Holiness! may we bring down the works of darkness, may we be the church this world is desperately crying for..
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21 (niv)
now go.. and change the world..

You are so right here Pax. The race that we have been called to run IS dangerous. I don't know how often I want to get to the end result of something without figuring out the behind the scenes details. What a wonderful reminder that we need to be readying our weapons in order to fight this devil that knows what he is doing. Great post, you should do more!
