Battle Time

This . . .
It has been good to have Elliott home for a few days. I have long been familiar with the saying, "Wake up and smell the coffee", but last night I woke up at about 1:30 a.m. and "Smelled the popcorn".
Elliott loves the night time.

Twelve hours of worship and intercession.
Can God change a nation in a day?
When we call out, He will answer.

This is That . . .
There are different stages of battle, different stages of spiritual warfare.
.
There is a time to get ready, to prepare, to get familiar with our armour: The helmet of salvation, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit.
.
Then there is a time of waiting. It's Moses camped out with the enemy closing in the night before God parts the waters. It's Gideon the night before waiting for the right time to shout and blow the trumpet. It's Joshua waiting for God to make a way into the promised land. It's Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Father waiting for the right time.
.
Then there is a time for battle. The time to cross over and take the land. The time to blow the trumpet. The time to shout. The time to declare the word of the Lord.
.
In the smaller sense, all of these stages are going on all of the time as we face various trials and challenges.
Some things can wait.
Some things can't.
For those things - it's battletime.
