Prisoner's Of War

POW- a person who has been captured and imprisoned by the enemy in war.

Have you ever felt like you've been captured and imprisoned in this WAR we call Christianity?
As I war for my God, my family, my church, my generation, my city, my nation, myself, I see the casualties of war and fellow soldiers taken captive. But it's a sad sight to see when you watch fellow soldiers defeat themselves before the enemy can even get to them. You witness in the heat of battle the horror of losing your loved ones, but it's like they walked into the prison themselves. A walk without power and authority is no walk at all. It says in the book of Isaiah that if you don't stand firm in your faith you won't stand at all. That's a bold statement that should wake you up to the reality of what it means to be a Christian. If you're still getting defeated by yourself you can't go to war. True warriors are born on the battlefield, but if you stand on the side line instead of the front line how will you know what you're made of?
