Willing disarmament not as cowering dog, but anointed trust in God’s defensive deliverance. Let us not ramble or mesh argument with historical text or philosophical position. For this is context to obfuscate. Faith is not an explanation or quibble. Having heard and believed the Gospel the argument is now moot. Only the tests against that faith apply. Perhaps it may be argued that the arguments themselves are narrow obstacles to solidify established faith. However, the test often deflects from the true test of offering love where doubt and hate reign indifferent to the Grace of God.

The revelation of past concealing, deceptive techniques or hidden truth becomes the period of our maturation in discernment. For unless deception exists the elaborate relationship with Spirit may never show prevalence in authority over all dominion and principality. The enemy serves God as do all things in creation. Therefore the Bible clarifies that the duty of the body is armoring against the power of deception through the fullness, knowledge and relationship with Christ. In conclusion, we choose to see that every situation, especially those replete with deceptive currents of land mines and undertow have been planted for faith’s victorious march toward the hereafter.

But what of the consuming, clarifying and transformative power of God’s Love in Grace? There is no defense against love. There is no power that surpasses the active gift of love in the face of slight, pain or contorted personality. There is no greater attachment to the Divine than through the observance and gratitude for having first loved humanity. The resolute in defeating Sovereignty rush to arms race in hope of somehow surpassing the immutable. May love be stored against armament? What well of the soul may manifest reserve of love to victoriously overcome any immovable object? This is the mystery of the union, rebirth, sanctification and kinship with God.

Why then would a man pursue the greatest hand to hand intelligence when it is the overwhelming, unbeatable power of love that remains the greatest power man’s disposal? There will always be knowledge and wisdom in preparation. We know not what may be confronted around the mountain bends of skinny path. However, the ardent and understandable practice in love is indispensable upon this journey to everlasting. The true application of deception would be to steer men into misdirection of violence and battle prowess rather than the courageously calm resolution to Stand against all that comes in the faith of God’s promise to overcome it all. In Jesus’ name standing is the greatest application of faith, courage and trust.
