The Lion, The Witch, And the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis Chapter
15
At that moment they
heard from behind them a loud noise—a great cracking, deafening noise as if a
giant had broken a giant's plate.... The Stone Table was broken into two pieces
by a great crack that ran down it from end to end; and there was no Aslan.
"Who's done
it?" cried Susan. "What does it mean? Is it more magic?"
"Yes!" said
a great voice from behind their backs. "It is more magic." They
looked round. There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him
before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan
himself.
"Oh, Aslan!"
cried both the children, staring up at him, almost as much frightened as they
were glad....
"But what does it
all mean?" asked Susan when they were somewhat calmer.
"It means,"
said Aslan, "that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic
deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn
of time. But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness
and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different
incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed
no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death
itself would start working backward."
I love C. S. Lewis’ book series the Chronicles of Narnia.
His ability to write a child’s fantasy story and equate it to spiritual warfare
is nothing short of a genius. Reading this fiction story of children traveling
to another land allows the mind to break through the natural and see into the
supernatural with ease.
Ephesians 6:12 ESV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this
present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Satan is real.
The battle is fierce.
The delusion is on and
thicker than ever before.
Satan's ways are deceiving and he will stop at nothing to
acquire a soul. He sows the bad in with the good, the bad thoughts with the good
thoughts. He has no pity or sympathy and he is great in doing evil. He is very
smart, driven and inspired by a vicious, cruel heart.
Our fight is not against atheist or other religious cults.
Our fight is against the angel of light, Satan the great deceiver, and the only
way we can fight this mortal enemy of ours is on our knees in prayer and worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, love our neighbour and those who just don’t see, the ones who have fallen under the spell of
Satan.
The battle is increasing and Christians should be wearing
their armour and hit the ground often in supplication to our Father in heaven,
seeking His face, His wisdom and His will.
Our
society is lacking prayer.
We need to pray for the advance of God's
cause not for the advance of man's cause. Praying according to the will
of God and not to twist the arm of God, is where mountains are moved;
spiritual mountains.
James 4:3 ESV
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
The
battle lines are being drawn, there are only two sides to chose from.
Either you are with God or with Satan, there is no other choice.
Praying and praying,
