Ephesians 6:10-18
I read something interesting this week. Since the U.S. declared its independence in 1776, the U.S. has been at war in some way 225 out of 243 yrs we've been in existence (or 92%) - meaning we've been at war all but 18 yrs of our existence as a nation. No U.S. president has ever led w/out some conflict w/ only Carter claiming to not having led the U.S. into war.
It's no wonder that in 9/1957, the US/Canada created the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to prepare/protect the US/Canada from the threat of a nuclear missile attack. Soon thereafter, in 10/1959, the Joint Chiefs introduced the DEFCON system to measure our Defense Readiness Condition.
The DECON system has (5) levels of readiness/alerts:
D5 (blue) - Fade Out- normal readiness/lowest level
D4 (green) - Double Take- Increased intel/security
D3 (yellow) - Round House- Air Force up 15 min.
D2 (red) - Fast Pace- Nuke Ready - All Forces 6 hrs
D1 (white) - Cocked Pistol- Nukes hot - Max Ready
FYI - Only once in U.S. history have we gone to D2 -during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 10/1962 - and twice to D3 - during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and the 9/11 Attacks in 2001.
Thru-out the NT, God's Word calls us to be on alert, to be on guard, and to be watchful - to have our own Spiritual Defense Readiness System in place so that we can stand our ground against our spiritual enemy.
For 4-weeks, we've been learning about the spiritual war being waged in/around our lives discussing both our enemy and armor. Today, we're going to look at what it means to have a spiritual defense readiness plan in place so we can vigilantly live on alert w/ God.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle isn't against flesh/blood, but against the rulers, against the authoritie ...
