Sometimes I feel like Aragorn and the Rohirrim trapped behind the walls of Helm’s Deep. There are moments when it seems Satan and all his forces are gathering at my doorstep and all I can do is stand behind my defenses and push down the screams which try desperately to rise from the center of my belly, “WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!”
The truth is though I am not on the defensive! Christians aren’t on the defensive! The church isn’t on the defensive! Though Satan would like us to think we are outnumbered and losing, the Bible assures us we have already taken the high ground and we are fighting from the position of established victory.
Jesus said, “Upon this rock (the high ground), I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18
Satan is the one behind the walls of Helm’s Deep and the armies of light (that’s us Christians in case you were wondering) are gathered at his doorstep and we are attacking his kingdom to establish light in the darkness. Any other perception is an illusion spawned by the power of the Dark One to confuse and hinder us from moving forward.
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j]
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31-39
Don’t give up Christian! You are about to win!

Hey Drusilla. I tried to get to your page but for some reason the link won’t connect. Have you stopped blogging?
The war has been won but the enemy thinks he can change the outcome if he keeps bothering the Victor’s soldiers.
Yes he does. I am grateful he is totally misinformed.
Yes, sir, me too!
Thank God for the truth of His Word!..Amen!
