Warship or Sailboat?

 

 “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.

On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

II Corinthians 10:4

 

 

Going into battle would you choose a warship or a sailboat?

More specifically, would you elect to face your enemy with a fully loaded nuclear powered aircraft carrier or a wind driven sailboat?

Seems like one of those ‘no-brainers’ doesn’t it?

But hold on one moment.

Did I mention that the wind power was the wind of the Holy Spirit?

Oh, so now you want to pick again?

All the combined technology and might of the armies of the earth are as nothing,

absolutely nothing against the Almighty God whom we serve.

You could take an entire nuclear powered fleet outfitted for battle and they simply cannot stand if they move in defiance of the Living God.

Don’t shrink back when God says:

“The wind of the Spirit is beginning to blow.”

Who can stand against our God?

King Jehoshaphat was not a seafaring man but he was a God fearing man.

God brought a most unconventional victory to him when the worshippers went before the army.

You can read about it in II Chronicles Chapter 20

Ask any graduate of the War College if what he did makes sense.

 Of course it doesn’t – by natural standards!

But our God will do exploits through those whose sails are filled with the wind of His Spirit.

No matter how giant that enemy is.

Are you ready to set sail with God?
