Spiritual Minefield

There is a spiritual warfare going on in WordPress and on other media outlets for the souls of mankind. Believers in Jesus Christ have to continue the good fight, getting out to the people the Word of God. We are living in a time where our free speech is being suppressed by shadow-banning and through other means.

I know that we as Christians can get discouraged at times because we don’t see the impact that our posts are doing in people’s lives. I would like to illustrate what happens when you preach God’s Word through your post.

The gospel can be illustrated to that of a grenade. Let’s say that you take out the pin from the grenade and throw it into a room then walk away, not hearing the explosion or even seeing the impact that it will cause. Even though we cannot see the impact that we are doing when we are spreading the Word of God through our posts, know for certain that just like a grenade which explodes, and changes the structure of the room, so the gospel when it is read in our posts will change a person from within.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

-Hebrews 4:12, NASB

A grenade contains words with messages, for good or for bad. If what you are preaching is the truth of God’s Word, then your grenade is filled with the gospel of Jesus Christ (medicine for the soul), once it explodes, it will make a difference, healing the person. If your grenade, in the other hand, is filled with false doctrine, or hatred, it will destroy lives.

Believers must continue to preach the message of Jesus Christ in the platforms that God has given us. The return of Jesus Christ is so near that we have to bring as much people to Jesus as possible, so that they won’t go through the Great Tribulation, and even worse, hell.

19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

-Matthew 28:19-20, NASB

We are commanded to make followers of Jesus Christ by presenting the gospel to them. After their conversion, we mush help them with their walk with the Lord by teaching the Scriptures to them in a plain way.
