Love to hear from and know who is listening
A thousand ways to die was a television series that aired from 2008 to 2012. The program recreated unusual deaths, some based on true events and some on urban legends. The show interviewed experts who describe the science behind each death. Over the years the human race has become experts at killing each other. The history of war begins with the evolution from primitive hunting with spears to organized warfare, marked by the first recorded war in 2700 BC. During, The Bronze Age, warfare intensified, with dedicated armies and the development of metal weapons like swords and spears. Two other commonly named periods of the increase of warfare are the Axial Age and Modern Times. The invention of gunpowder, and its use in warfare, together the invention of the atomic bomb has forever changed warfare. Currently the acceleration of technological is changing war all together!
Isaiah 54:17 NKJV No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me, Says the Lord.
No matter how many ways man finds to kill each other, as Christians our confidence rests upon the sure promises of the all-powerful God. Who reminds us throughout His Word, that He is the Almighty, Sovereign Ruler of the universe, and has given us His assurance that no weapon, whether physical or spiritual, will prosper against His children. A weapon is anything designed to inflict harm. The apostle Paul tells us that we have been given tools to fight against our enemy, but our weapons are not ordinary weapons or even like modern day weapons such as automatic guns, fighter jets or even atomic bombs. The weapons we fight with are not like the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power.
2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
Often, the enemy hits us with spiritual attacks such as confusion, depression, anger, anxiety, fear, temptation, and loneliness. But the Lord has given us His Word as our sword and faith as our shield.
Ephesians 6: 13-18 ESV Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.
God is in command. He controls both those who make weapons and those who use them. He has already won the war. Through Jesus Christ, He has defeated the final enemy, death, and purchased for us eternal life. As God’s people, we can be confident in the Lord’s victory over every enemy. Nothing built, sharpened, aimed, or fired against you, your family, your church family, God’s kingdom, or God’s people will succeed. This is a promise from God, every child of God can say, no weapon formed against me shall prosper!
