I have watched the spirits of compromise, self-indulgence and "love of money" (1 Timothy 6:10) sweep through and take hold of the Christian Church in western countries through the 1980s and 1990s.
The idea of the Christian faith being, "Three steps forward, two steps back and a stumble now and then" infiltrated our ranks and we went from being wimps to being pathetic wimps. And now we see what the fruits of that attitude has led us to. We are indeed "reaping the whirlwind" (Hosea 8:7) of our deeds and inaction. Not only have we NOT followed God's command of "Occupy until I come" (Luke 19) but we have LOST MAJOR territory to the Enemy (Satan).
Well, I've had all I can stomach. π‘ I might be just an old lady clinging to a walker on the outside, but I know the truth of "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13) and I UTTERLY REFUSE to take even one step back anymore. π ♀️ In fact, it is my intention to take back the ground we've lost!
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord."
(Romans 12:9-11)

When I was just six years old in 1972 (Oops!π Accidentally outed my age on the internet again), my family was eating supper one night, Dad was telling us about someone he had met at work who had fought in World War 2 and who had really impressed him.
Mom said, "What kind of man is he, Bill?"
Dad answered, "He's the kind of man who eats steele and shits nails!"
π³ Even though I knew he didn't mean it literally, it certainly conjured up some interesting pictures in my young imagination.
So here I am today and the best advice I can offer my fellow Believers in Jesus is that it is time we ALL start eating steele.
Anybody with me? π€¨

300 Greek warriors from Sparta fought the Persian army of 300,000 under Xerxes 1. They did this 491 years before Jesus Christ was born. If THEY can accomplish amazing feats BEFORE Jesus, what can we do now WITH the power of the Holy Spirit?
It's interesting to note that BABYLON was an entire Province within the Persian Empire during the Greek/Persian Wars. In Jeremiah 51 and Revelation 18 God tells us to "FLEE Babylon" at this time in our history and NOT to look for the best way to live in it. I've done just that. But if the Babylonians come after me, ...
...they are going to be VERY sorry they did. π€¨
"In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."

It is waaay past time for an attitude adjustment, People. We need to develop some grit.
