Grace for your spirit
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculation and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. II Corinthians 10:4-5

Remember the kid's song, "I may never march in the infantry, ride in the cavalry, shoot the artillery. I may never fly o'er the enemy, but I'm in the Lord's army". Wars are seldom won from a distance. Personal evangelism is just that--personal. We are pretty good at flying over the enemy dropping scripture bombs, and shooting artillery shells of doctrine into a far land, but wars are seldom won without going behind enemy lines. Personal evangelism is a function of infantry, and cavalry, and must be done face to face. We used to call these soldiers, 'ground pounders." If we are going to win the war against the devil, we need ground troops, not just advisors. Let's sharpen our swords for some hand to hand combat and win the world, destroying every lofty thing raised up against God's kingdom
