I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30
God is looking for someone to stand up! Someone willing to fight! You don't think your God is a Warrior? Here's a few scriptures to set that straight!
The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34
Read Rev 19:11-13, 15-16, here you can read more about this Great Warrior!
We are created with a warrior heart. We just sometimes fight for all the wrong reasons!
If we don't have a good reason to fight, we'll create one. Like with our spouse, kids, job, etc...
So we need to have a cause to fight for and then we'll be able to be the great warriors that Christ is looking for.
Nehemiah gave a few reasons - Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes. Nehemiah 4:14
What are you willing to fight for?
For some it better be your marriage! You need to start fighting for her and not with her!
If you don't pick a GOOD cause, you will surely pick the wrong cause!
But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison. Acts 8:3 This surely doesn't sound like a good cause.
Name your cause, speak to your spouse, name it together and when fighting...
Sometimes you throw a punch! I know some will get their theology messed with in that one, but the Bible says there’s a time for peace and a time to fight!
When it’s time to fight, fight!
Ladies, don’t take away a man’s will to fight! Just give him the right cause!
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34
Oh and remember the tables in the temple, that was a good cause!
Read through Revelations and see the Warrior Christ!Sometimes you fight through Prayer. You pray hard!
Sometimes you fight by asking forgiveness. Even though you think you're right!
There have been many men who have died for this cause called Jesus.
I know that there are men reading this who are ready to fight! Willing to go out of their way to reach the lost! Save their marriages, mend the relationships with their children, have purpose in their jobs, etc... Ready to be the leaders that God has called!
