Prepping the Battlefield, by Scipio
Before a major assault there is an action that takes place beforehand called “prepping the battlefield”. That’s when the big guns are brought out and the enemy is pounded in order to weaken its defenses and its resolve. You face a battle every day, often before you walk out the door. The Bible says we are at war against the forces of evil. Whether you are a believer or not, you are in a spiritual war. If you are losing those battles, it’s probably because you aren’t using all your weapons.
People are asking, who is pulling the strings behind Biden? Well, it’s quite obvious it’s the WEF (World Economic Forum- formerly called Davos-often called the New World Order) and their tertiary supporters. But the more important question is, who is behind them and where is their command and control? The answer is in the Bible at Ephesians 6:10-18 “We are against the unseen power that controls this dark world, and spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil”. J.B. Phillips translation.
Now that we have acquired our enemy’s coordinates, what do we do? Once again, we go to the Bible at II Corinthians 10:4-5. “The truth is that, although of course we lead normal human lives, the battle we are fighting is on a spiritual level. The very weapons we use are not those of human warfare, but powerful in God’s warfare for the destruction of the enemy’s stronghold.” J.B Phillips translation.
Those weapons cited in the Bible are made up of full spiritual body armor. First you need your spiritual Kevlar helmet because the devil attacks your mind first, making you question understanding your faith. That’s what the Devil did to Eve in the Garden. You know he is coming for your thoughts, so protect them. Next, you will need your spiritual armor-plated chest rig. Satan’s secondary main target is your heart. You must be sold out in what you believe and not be swayed in the time of battle. Also, you will need your spiritual belt to fasten Truth close to your body. You are not fighting for lies, you are fighting for Truth. Now lace up those spiritual combat boots in order to run to the battle spreading the good news of peace. Don’t forget your spiritual elbow, knee, shin, and shoulder armor because you are going to take some fiery shots from the enemy. Before you do this, it’s time to prep the battlefield. But first, roll out the spiritual big guns; prayer and faith. Let’s just talk about one of these, prayer.
I know prayer as the biggest gun in spiritual battlefield prep, but I find praying, especially effective, persistent prayers difficult. Over ten years ago I was a near casualty on the spiritual battlefield. In desperation I had to call in spiritual artillery prayer danger close. Miraculously surviving, I focused my religious interests on prayer and prayer alone. I read books by famous prayer warrior men and women to learn how they learned to unlock the secrets of prayer. My first lesson I learned that the Lord’s Prayer, was not really just a prayer, but more than that. It was a prayer outline or a templet showing you how to pray filling in the parts of the outline that pertained to yourself. The Lord’s prayer’s order puts recognizing God as our first priority. Then it provides for petitions for our daily needs, and what is expected of us in our interactions with the world we live in. Finally, the last sections ask God for protection from the evil that seeks to destroy us. Using this model loosely, I made my personal daily desperate prayer, and use it as my starting point in my daily battles.
You can leave your Barratt M107A1 50 BMG sniper rifle and your Javelin anti-armor weapon behind. You won’t need it because you are going to go hand to hand with the enemy. Your battle is described in II Corinthians 10:12, “For we WRESTLE not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. You are going to be so close you will smell your enemy’s bad breath, the stench of death on his garments, and smell of sulfur in the air. You are going to get hurt, people who get into fights get hurt, bank on it. It’s not a question of getting hurt, it’s a question of winning. With the right armor and weapons (with implicit training) and the will to fight you will win. There is a war going on out there. Remember to prep the battlefield before you strap it up and rush out to fight.

Amen!
Amen. Psalm 18:2 – The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (ESV)
YES! I’ll have Gods armor and protection with a Glock and 12 gauge on the side.
Thank you. I’ve always said there is no conspiracy but the devil helps make everything evil work together behind the scene. No Trilateral Commission, just Satan.
David didn’t kill goliath with his slingshot,
GOD killed Goliath… with David and a slingshot
Not a slingshot. It was a sling
Not the same thing.
