\nWe are at War, the Battle is real. I’m not sayign that there is demon behind every bush, or that when we spill a cup of tea...\n but I am sayign that there are powers at work within the world which have an evil intent, they are opposed to God, opposed to what it is for humans to flourish, they are at work within us (sin is crouchign at the door), but also these powers attack Christians (the devil is walking roudn like a prowling lion seeking who he would devour), these powers and principlaties may well be at work within the powerful ideologies of this world, and become manifest in the most brutal of acts.\n\nVictims and Casualties of this war. \nVictory is Certain.... By the Cross... Ascension.... Return\nFor those wanting to enlist... to take up arms in the spirtual battle\nWounded Warriors..... Come!\n\n\n\n\n
