But there is anything but peace. There is a war being raged all over the world on all fronts, physical, mental, and spiritual. But no one can see the enemy; he is invisible, but he is the most evil and terrifying enemy in the world. The devil!
Many people do not believe the devil exists, but the truth is the devil is as real as God is. The devil is the thing that goes bump in the dark, he is the author of your most terrible thoughts, and he is what created fear, anger, and hate.
But we must not be afraid of the devil, because there is an even more powerful being. His power is so great that the devil can do nothing against him or anyone who believes in him. This being is Jesus! No matter how hard the devil tries to bombard you with his lies and temptations, he can never win you over. But only if you put your faith in Jesus.
Jesus loves us very much; he wants us to have a defense against the devil's lies so he has given us his Word, his church, and each other. With these weapons, we can stand as bravely as any soldier, but we will crumble without our commander, Jesus.
So now is our world so peaceful? The invisible armies of darkness are marching all over the world. They seek to destroy every bit of light they find. But there is more light than they know; there is a huge army of light. Every Christian is part of this army and everyone can fight the darkness. We all have the power to fight; the question is, will we? World peace is non-existent now; it has not existed in the past and it will never exist until Jesus returns. So while we wait, will we fight?
