Let me make a spiritual application about this for today in 2020, because we're not in a physical battle.
We're not arranged in formation against some kind of an enemy with weapons and with chariots and horses, but we're in a spiritual battle today.
The Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers.
So he's saying we do wrestle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. And so we do fight today.
The Bible tells us fight the good fight of faith.
We do have a battle before us, but it's not a physical battle.
It's a spiritual battle, and we don't want people acting scared, making the hearts of the people around them faint.
Now, let me give you an example.
You know, our church is not in a battle at this moment, but our church goes through battles from time to time.
But an example right now is a good friend of ours is going through a battle right now, Brother Bruce Mejia out in Los Angeles.
And he's out there right now with a huge battle on his hands where just all of the forces of hell have targeted him.
And they're trying to make him quit or stop or trying to make the people in this church become faint hearted and fear and tremble and flee.
And they need to be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
Because the Bible says we need to put on the whole armor of God so that we will stand in the evil day.
That's what they're going through right now, the evil day.
And just to explain to you specifically what's going on is you've got a bunch of homos,
you've got a bunch of filthy sodomites that are out there demanding that he leave town and stop preaching
because he's preaching the Word of God.
And let me tell you something, they ought to be telling all the Baptist preachers to get out of town.
But the problem is 99% of Baptist preachers in America today don't have the guts to preach what needs to be preached.
They don't have the guts to fight the real battle.
They're all scared. They're all running away.
And so you're left with the 300.
You know, you got the 22,000 Baptist pastors, you know, that just want to go home.
And they're too scared to stand up for what's right.
