Spiritual Warfare

When I was in High School I read Frank Peretti's "This Present Darkness" and was totally into the whole unseen forces thing. I always pictured the evil demons with their crude weaponry hacking and slashing at the angelic force shielding a believer. I have learned that the enemy is allot more covert and slick than we realize. Not only does he come on strong with full fledged attacks but he sneaks in undercover. His greatest weapon is little whispered lies. Tiny untruths that shift our focus. We are so quick to turn away from blatant outrageous lies but it's the little falsehoods based on truth that get us.

He preys on uncertainty and insecurity offering false hopes that only suffice for a while. Here in the city its easy to see the effects on those who have bought into the false hopes. Sure the enemy seeks to kill and destroy but not always in a boisterous onslaught. More often it's through a gentle misleading. We are in the midst of battle here at Source. We serve as a spiritual M*A*S*H* unit offering healing to the hurt and broken. We are also on the front lines shining the light of truth. Please pray for us specifically for our out reaches to Homeless Youth and our Transitional Housing. We pose a serious threat to the enemy's ideas and don't expect him to stand idly by.
