For the first time in my life, when I visited Africa, I believe I met first hand--a part of the Body of Christ--part of the church that is PREPARED FOR WAR! Jesus was clear when He spoke of the Kingdom of God--He was clear about how the Church would win it's battles and conflicts---

Matt 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and VIOLENT MEN take it BY FORCE."

FORCE IS THE ONLY WAY!

If there is one thing that world has seen, it is this--Dictators understand only one thing . . . "FORCE!" They can not be talked down, negotiated with, or appeased. They can only be taken by force--for force is how they operate--and force is all they respond to.

Israel was given an opportunity to take their land BY FORCE. They shrunk back. And that generation all died in the desert. Their children, then-- the Joshua Generation--took the land, their promised inheritance--BY FORCE!.

I INTEND TO TAKE OUR INHERITANCE, FIGHTING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH MY CHILDREN

I am not satisfied to let my children be the Joshua Generation by themselves. I intend to be PART of the Joshua Generation myself, but this will require a new mind-set for me/us. This will require a bit of anger at what the enemy, the Devil has done and is doing. I can no longer afford the luxury of staying out of Satan's way as long as he stays out of my way.

It is time for the armor of God to become part of my daily apparel. But I can't do it alone. And this time around, I can't take the battle into my own hands. This required a coordinated strategy, overseen by the LIVING Generals of the Faith whom God has appointed for this hour.

This requires planning, strategies, the setting up of boot camps, the medical teams in place, ---the whole nine yards. This is about War and "THE FUTURE WAR OF THE CHURCH."

THE BATTLE IS UPON ON US

While the battles have always been with us, 'THE' BATTLE is about to ensue as the enemy of our souls has recognized that his time is short and he goes about seeking whom he may devour.

In his 2-tape series, THE FUTURE WAR OF THE CHURCH, Chuck Pierce, (whom I believe to be one of the Generals) begins to take the church into the War Room to look at the map, the theater of Operations, and he lays out the organization and strategy necessary for the Church to, with coordinated effort, prepare for this FUTURE WAR OF THE CHURCH.

Chuck Pierce, by the way, if the one who had the "famous" prophetic word back in 1999, that Florida's Palm Beach County would have the eyes of the World on it. This came true during the election crisis this November and December, as most of you know.

Even Paul understood and exclaimed, (1 Cor 9:26) "Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man BEATING THE AIR."

IT IS POINTLESS TO FIGHT -- IF I ONLY BEAT THE AIR

If everyone decides it's time to fight and the fighting begins--without a plan, without the STRATEGY for the conflict, we will be like a "warring church that only beats the air."
