We often sing
the words to the song
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Onward Christian soldiers.
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.73
And those words can be
subverted quite easily,
00:00:05.77\00:00:08.90
has happened during the crusades
00:00:08.94\00:00:11.11
where Crusaders with the
cross on them went off to do
00:00:11.14\00:00:14.64
often very horrific
things as all soldiers
00:00:14.68\00:00:16.95
and all militaries want
to do, but on another level,
00:00:16.98\00:00:20.95
we are in a spiritual battle
00:00:20.98\00:00:23.08
against
principalities and powers.
00:00:23.12\00:00:25.69
And we need to
accept that reality.
00:00:25.72\00:00:28.36
There are casualties for
those that are not faithful
00:00:28.39\00:00:31.79
but for those that as Paul says,
00:00:31.83\00:00:33.76
take on the armor,
00:00:33.80\00:00:35.13
the spiritual armor
of the Spirit of God,
00:00:35.16\00:00:37.90
and of the prayer,
00:00:37.93\00:00:39.27
and of the Word
of God and so on.
00:00:39.30\00:00:40.74
This victory over
Apulian over our very nature.
00:00:40.77\00:00:46.21
There's victory promised
00:00:46.24\00:00:48.04
and an entry into
the celestial city
00:00:48.08\00:00:50.58
and an eternity of bliss.
00:00:50.61\00:00:53.58
