WARFARE
Dear Rock Church,
Attack is directly associated to our progress, not our circumstance. We are where we are because of what we've overcome and the breaks we've had. The attack is only happening right now, not for our present, but because of our future.
I think the enemy wants the believer to draw back right now, sell properties, forfeit square footage and give up on ground already taken. Yes, there are times when retreat is a must, but there are more times when it's time to fight!
What has always made our church give huge amount of resources was our ability to not just be a Sunday church, but to minister 24/7. I think the enemy would have any church capable of impacting a generation draw back, but I say NO WAY.
We need to push right now. We need to push our attitude to a new place of taking ground, not giving it up. We need to push our giving, serving and worship to higher heights. We need to push the envelope of resources and tap the reserves. It's all in, not some in.
Here is precisely where to pray in regards to warfare. Pray that our legs will not fail, that our hearts will not callous, that our minds will not forget, that our hands will be available, that our towels will never run out, that our water is refreshing, that our campuses are full of hope, that our cities look to us, that our leaders faint not, that our money multiply, that our people be lifted, and that our provision follows a cause.
These are the weapons as we fight: Vision and Giving. Have the courage to be a part of a vision larger than yourself and have the faith to underwrite that vision! God will not leave you hanging as He has already won the battle on your behalf. He has done his part, now do yours.
Pressing the Mark,
Jeff Knight
