It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward.
So true.
This morning, I read a sermon by a pastor who fought Communism around the world during the 70's and 80's. This is what he said:
"There is a difference between the strategies of God and Satan. Satan's
strategy is to rob by force, while Heaven's strategy is to succeed by being
beaten. By being beaten, we get victory.
"You must understand the difference between God's strategy and Satan's strategy. God's strategy claims compensation for damages after being beaten; that is how God restores things. But Satan's world tries to claim the right of ownership by force."
How true is this? In crucifying Christ, Satan thought "aha, now I have the victory! I have murdered the Son of God, I have destroyed his body" but God and Jesus willingly took the blow, took the attack and absorbed it. In three days time, Jesus was victorious over all the realms of death, over all the power of Satanic force.
He took the blow and not only survived, but returned to reclaim God's children and open up the way of rebirth.
What is this "fighting communism" he spoke of? After the annihilation and ritual humiliation of Germany after WWII, communism won. The original communists were in charge during the Weimar era. Who were the communists? It's the same people that own every industry.
The Marxists and Communists began infiltrating the US shortly after WWII. All around the world, the Soviet Union was essentially fostering communist revolutions and driving ahead a global communist empire.
In the US, the infiltration was intense, and yet after the McCarthy era, American by and large went to sleep and the communists had a field day.
The pastor was calling out what everyone sees plain as day today. He was predicting that, if unchecked, the US would end up exactly where it is today. Very active in the 70's and 80's in the states.
