When the battles come your way, are you tired of fighting alone?
I was in the battle for my life!
It was an early Sunday morning on May 22, 2022, when I woke up with the full intention of going to church in a few hours. But, after trying to sip some water by my bedside, I was puzzled that I could not swallow it. Hmmm. But after looking in the bathroom mirror, the left side of my face was badly contorted, and I knew immediately I had/was having a stroke!
The inspiration for writing The Battle Is The Lord’s began in the fall of 2021 with another book project I was working on. My working title then was called “Chaos Exposed!” and in my research I began to probe who was working behind the veil to create chaos in seven pillars of our society that are eroding before our very eyes:
Geopolitical Events: Covid / Wars and Rumors of Wars / Lockdowns vs. Freedom
Politics: Bad leaders, bad decisions / Corruption / Broken trust / Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics (Mark Twain)
Business and Commerce: Ethics—Morality / Love of money vs. Love for God / Loving things, using people
Education: Parents vs. Government / College debt vs. Career options / Teaching one how to think vs. teaching one on what to think
Entertainment and Social Media: Hostility to Christianity / Exporting carnal values / Garbage in, garbage out / A Community that Conforms / Cancel Culture
Sports: Platform for divisive agendas / Win at any cost vs good sportsmanship for the love of the game
Religion: Devotion vs. Departure / Religion vs. Relationship
Do you have the kind of vision to see the unseen world?
There are many things done behind the cloak of secrecy where only a few elites are privy to see what’s really going on. Scheming. Plotting. Imagining how they can create chaos.
And even deeper behind the veil there is a world that cannot be seen with the human eye. It is a world that is spiritual, a world where warfare, hand to hand combat that is to the death, is taking place, a world where evil exists, and its target is the human race.
This is my Thesis: There are intentional decisions being made by powerbrokers, drunken with power, (leaders / decision makers who are influenced / driven by a destructive demonic secular worldview) who sow seeds of chaos with the goal of creating seismic and catastrophic instability in the foundations of what were once stable pillars of society.
And the one with the fingerprints on these crimes against all of humanity is our greatest adversary, Satan himself: the commander in chief of chaos.
I’ve come to learn that it is futile and foolish to fight any battle I cannot win. I needed to learn a way that will always guarantee me victory. The apostle John gives us a hint on how to win with these words of illumination:
“And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John5:5 NLT ~ John, the disciple of Jesus
I knew I needed spiritual resources in order to fight spiritual battles. I knew space would not allow me to go deeper and wider in Chaos Exposed! on a Bible study, devotional, prayer guide, and five-day journal that would serve as a simple but practical curriculum for what I am calling “God’s War College.”
Thus came the inspiration for writing The Battle Is The Lord’s. In my outline of Chaos Exposed, I left behind the Chaos Exposed! project and got right to work on what was going to be chapter five in the book (The Battle Is The Lord’s). What you have before you has been field-tested. It works!
Back to my story.
A few days previous to my stroke I had been chewing on Lesson 13: Front Row Seat. This passage of Scripture REMINDED me that the Battle was The Lord’s: “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.””Exodus 14:14 NLT
The Lord Himself
Will fight for you
Just stay calm
He did His part. I did mine.
Instead of PANIC, I experienced His PEACE. Right then I knew what I was working on was WORKING!
I believe this may be one of the most significant books I’ve ever written.
