After the directive and the sweet encouragements are identified, it is easily anticipated that our dear Pastor friend would direct us not to shoot until we see the whites of their eyes.
Who are we fighting? What are his ambitions? How does he assail us?Can we fight unless we know with whom we are fighting?
We do indeed not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and wickedness in high places. But not usually the highplaces of the world in this era, the high places of our hearts. Our appetites and desires wage war against us constantly. The peace and the healing and the comfort that are the meat of faith and life are stolen by this deadly foe.What a great thing that our friend points out to us that the devil himself it is who steals these foods from us and sends us “supperless to bed”.
Directive 1, Pastor Gurnall
