This is the hour when there can be no retreat from pushing back the darkness.

 

You’ll get tired and weary, but the enemy will not. Lives hang in the balance, and it is absolutely the job of the church of Jesus Christ to press into power and prayer for the sake of many.

 

You can choose to move into life daily with no thought of the needs of others, but you will be burying your head in the sand, and eventually, the chaos will come knocking at your own door. At that moment you’ll be so glad many remain on their post to declare darkness “NO MORE ENTRY!”

 

We find now the separation of the surrendered and the shallow. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but shallow soil, shallow teachings, and shallow commitments now show us a shallow faith.

 

A remnant is rising that contends with Hell at the side of the commander in chief and will refuse to retreat when the going gets tough.

 

This is more than church-going people; this is a war-ready bunch that has seen a thousand deaths in a long wilderness.

 

Out of that wilderness came a renewed strength and a renewed passion for Christ and His ways. They are fully prepared to slay giants because their training ground was one of deep drills, repetitive battles, and ongoing surrender no matter the cost.

 

There is no retreat in this remnant, and the devil’s army knows it. Every arrow he sends is sent back like a boomerang in the spirit because these Saints know a spiritual battle is won in the spirit.

 

Those who’ve operated in human skill and flesh will now find an evident powerless place that evil easily overruns.

 

The no retreat army of God is not on the defensive, but the offensive. You’ll find them marching towards the battle rather than from it. They know God is with them and the army with them is greater than the army with the enemy.

 

Their swords are drawn, and they are fueled by supernatural power from the Holy Spirit. The enemy’s camp shudders as they see them coming. For they have come to take back all the land for the King and Kingdom.

 

There is no retreat.
