Attack.
If we truly knew how deeply we are loved and forgiven, we would be dangerous. We would be a threat to the devil and his demons. We would be at the throat of our circumstances telling them to back off and leave. We would not be phased by the words of man. We would love furiously those who are unlovable. We would admit openly and humbly how even more unlovable we are and yet Jesus Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us. We would be passionately offensive to apathy and the lack of concern for the lost and the abandoned. We would cause severe discomfort and disturbing awkwardness to our complacency of being satisfied with where we are to the point of being moved to being satisfied in Christ alone. We would pour godly salt on those sensitive wounds of habitual sins and secret shame and pull out the roots before they can bear any more fruit. We would shut up the roaring lion and make the enemy flee as we firmly dig our feet in solid rock and resist. We would ruthlessly beat down, knock out, bind up, and put into submission the useless affections that attempt to steal our first love. We would shoot down and take down whatever clouds our heavenly perspective and eternal values. We would boldly touch heaven and fearlessly change earth by God's dynamite power and fresh anointing. We would use bombs for alarms to wake up from spiritual slumber. We would swiftly and constantly reload and be ready and equipped with the sWORD of the Spirit so as to never grieve or quench the Holy Spirit. We would drop kick, rip out, and shatter our pride and humbly reconcile with our debtors just as He has reconciled us to Himself. We would desperately repent of and turn away from our prostitution with the world, and plead mercy for our whorish, unfaithful ways in our laziness, lust, lies, and love for conformity. We would have fervent, undying hope in the resurrection, in Christ who is our hope of glory. We would have absolutely no agenda or selfishness of our own except to do God's will and follow God's commands knowing that He, who has given us His own Son to be tortured and murdered on our behalf in order to deliver us from that same fate, knows what is best for us.
We would earnestly and diligently seek our Abba Father and spend every hour, every moment in sweet, comforting communion with Him. We would realize He is our breath, our life, our everything.
We would realize that without Him our hearts would stop beating physically and spiritually. We would be in anguish, sorrow, and pain. We would scream. We would panic. We would yell. We would call. We would cry out in desperation.
We would be on the floor.
On our knees.
