As we have addressed previously, the real battle we are fighting is against fear. The evil one wants to control the world through fear. We must therefore decide that we are going to grow in faith and the peace of God, and that we will not allow our actions to be determined by fear.

 We must also keep in mind that "... our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12)....

The real battle we are fighting is against fear. Evil people want to control the world through fear. As one of our great President of war once said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." To the degree that fear controls our actions, that is  the degree to which fear has become our lord.

The devil uses fear to control people in the way the Lord uses faith. That is why terrorism and tyranny always work together. Satan dwells in darkness because the light destroys his power. Truth sets us free from the tyranny and oppression of the devil....

In previous Special Bulletins I felt that it was important to biblically establish how there are different mandates given to the civil government and the church. This is crucial for us to understand if we are to know our own specific purpose in the times ahead.

America is now mobilizing for war. We are gathering the necessary resources, positioning them, and making what we believe will be effective plans against our enemy÷terrorism. As we have discussed, the civil government has a different mandate than the church. The church is also now mobilizing for war, but our war is different. Because it is quite obvious that this attack on America was diabolical in nature, this is a spiritual war as well. We must mobilize for the spiritual war. How do we do that? How do we train and prepare? What are our weapons, and how do we...

As covered in a previous bulletin, there is a different mandate given to the government than to the church. The mandate given to the civil government states that it is "a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil" (Romans 13:4). If I were speaking to our civil government about what they should do to those responsible for the WTC and Pentagon attacks, I would exhort them that they have not been given the sword for nothing, and they must use it decisively until this enemy of civilization has been...
