Power In Numbers

Knight Vision Ministries is born and bred out of the desire of David Kortje's heart to expose the battle of Christianity for what it really is and learn how we can fight more effectively.  So much of the time we walk around oblivious to the forces around us that are in constant battle for our lives.  We forget that we have a very real enemy out there whose only purpose is to craft ways to destroy us and take us from our Master.  We get wrapped up in the details of life and forget what it is really all about; forget that our purpose is not to work harder to make our lives more comfortable but our real purpose is to continue the fight that Christ started so long ago…the fight for the lives and souls of the world. 

Sometimes it scares me that satan knows me so well.  He knows how to tempt me, how to taunt me, how to lead me astray.  I hate that and I would like to deny it but it is the truth.  He works very hard to find his way into our lives.  Most of the time he doesn't just storm in announced…that would be too easy to fight.  Most of the time he is very subtle and very patient as he weaves a thread through our lives that we don't even realize was there until we have stumbled over it.  Many of us lie there in amazement that we didn't even see it coming.  And what makes it even tougher is that each battle that satan wages is so different and unique to each of us.  Wouldn't it be nice if he would just hit us all with the same things?  It would be much easier to see and understand and fight.  But that is not the reality is it?  My heart is in tune with David's….I believe that we must come together and share our battles so that we can expose satan's ways, support each other and be more equipped to fight for each other. 

What does the battle look like in your life?  How does satan use your situation, your experiences, your hurts and your fears to eat away at your faith, your commitment to serve Chirst?  Maybe he is slowly hacking away at your marriage; maybe he is attacking your teenager by luring them into the darkness; maybe he is attacking your physical body; maybe he is holding you in bondage of addictions; maybe he planted seeds long ago that make it difficult to really trust God. Whatever means he has used, you can be sure that he is there; always watching, always waiting, always scheming.  As uncomfortable as that may be, let me leave you with this: there is another who is always watching, always waiting, always fighting for us as well and if you allow Him, he will shine the light on the darkness and with that light you will find truth.

There really is power in numbers and so I invite you to join us as we gather our troops and sharpen our swords to battle what is the most important fight of our lives.  May God's grace shine on you today.

Through His blood,
Marcy

    My battle most often involves my family and the ways that I see the enemy attacking them. Their eyes have not opened fully to see the ways of the enemy. I have felt oddly set apart since I was a teenager and it has only been over the past three years that I have begun to feel comfortable in the armour of a warrior. God compared me at one point to Zena Warrior Princess. I no longer fear the battle but oddly feel exhilarated by the prospect. The warrior in me says 'Bring it on' and at the same time a part of me says 'wait, what are you saying?!' My King calls me into His chamber to worship Him and to study His ways so that I am not caught unaware. He teaches me about the power that He gives when I worship Him, how that worship sucks the energy from the enemy. I am a worship warrior and my weapon is His word. His praise gives me strength and yet knowing that I don't spend enough time alone with Him. There is another battle that I find myself in, the enemy is found in my laziness. How good and kind He is with me, so patient with my faults. His love goes before me and buffers me when I fall. My King is worthy of my service and I give it to Him gladly.
