D-Day for Demons

When you are in any contest you should work as if there were - to the very last minute - a chance to lose it. - Dwight Eisenhower


     I asked God today why is it always one thing after another?  Why won't the enemy give me a break?  His answer, "Because you are equal to a marine in my military."  After a lengthy conversation about a life time of attacks and the fact it was truly training for my future, I decided to take Eisenhower's D-Day speech and change it up a bit. 


Survivors of abuse, trauma and tragedy:  You are to embark upon the Great Crusade toward which we have striven your whole lives.  The eyes of the world are upon you.  The hopes and prayers of God-fearing and God-loving people everywhere march with you.  In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other fronts, you will bring about the beginning of the destruction of Satan's power, the elimination of strongholds over oppressed peoples of this world and security for ourselves in Heaven.

Your task will not be an easy one.  Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened.  He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 2012!  Though the enemy has won battles, our great God has inflicted upon the enemy great defeats through us, in open battle, spirit to spirit.  God has blessed us with an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.  The tide has turned.  The free men and women of God's Kingdom are marching together in victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.  You have fought your whole life in the mud and blood of spiritual warfare.  You have learned to take a hit and get back on your feet.  You've seen what the enemy can do and survived it.  We have already been given full victory.

Luck has nothing to do with it.  And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.


“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.”
