Freedom and Victory: Introduction
We all want to be free.
People will fight and die for freedom while others kill to silence these dissenters. There are no neutral parties in these battles.
As I type this in Collegedale, TN I am forced to consider my own fight for freedom. I may not face the same imminent physical threat as the people in the nations mentioned above but I am also at war. Even while you read this, you (YES, YOU!) are engaged in an ongoing struggle.
We have been born into a land of oppression. A land with an administration that has hijacked control from the rightful Ruler.
A land that offers all of life's joys to it's citizens, but actually forces them to live in chains.
A land that has painted a false reality to its inhabitants.
A land where evil has taken hold.
A land where scenes of greed, hate, fear, abuse, and death have become common!
No, I haven't confused Collegedale for North Korea.
(Even though the police give as many tickets. Kidding!!)
Actually, I'm not just referring to a small territory in an isolated corner of the globe.
Because, in fact, our entire WORLD is in a conflict!
If you've ever felt the hurt of losing a loved one or have been enraged at the oppression of the powerless, you can relate that those things should not exist!
If you've ever wondered why there is so much pain, so much hurt, and so much wrong in our hearts and in this world, it's because we are slaves to an enemy.
The enemy of God has hijacked the world and is killing God's children!
In the next few weeks, we'll consider this global battle.
I hope you think about your own battle as we focus on the freedom and victory that can is promised and given by the true King to those who choose to stand with Him.
Join us next week as we start our first multi-part series!!
