Flash Your Badge!

You’ve seen the movies.

An unmarked car races up the street and whips into the fire lane in the front of a business entrance. The driver hops out, and just as police officers swarm to reprimand him about parking illegally they suddenly back off and allow him to proceed into the building.

What happened? Why did the police allow someone parked illegally to override the law?

Well the answer is clear. With a quick flip of the wrist the driver presented credentials that automatically overrode the authority of the officers. In one fluid motion and a single phrase, “F.B.I.”, he was given full access to assess the premises as he pleased.

This idea got me to thinking as I arose this morning. Too many Christians fall prey to the advances of the enemy and his shenanigans because we forget to flash our credentials. In these last days, God is requiring that believers boldly enter into enemy territory and bring out the people that He has marked as His own. However, those assigned to drive their cars into the fire lane, hop out the car, and retrieve the lost have failed to pack their all important credentials. The word of God is our weapon. When we wield it with precision these words have the power slice, cut, and avert any opposition that attempts to harm us. The Bible is not called a Christian's sword for nothing.

However, only physically carrying the Bible into dark and evil situations is going to do you no good. So for those individuals impersonating Christian officials, understand when you “hop out the car” in the dark you may not come out alive. Hence, do yourself a favor and really be who your credentials say you are. Otherwise, when the demons, witches, warlocks, principalities, etc. call your bluff you’ll be the fool stripped naked and sent running in the other direction like the exorcists in Paul’s days (see Acts 19:12-16).

This battle is real and God is looking for the REAL A. O. G.’s—Agents Of the Gospel. Now is not the time to flex your theological degrees and ministry experience, when you lack the heart change that makes you a genuine follower of Christ. Fakes will be found out as the heat turns, and death, insanity, and the like will be the identifying markers of posers. Don’t get caught slipping without your credentials! Satan knows who’s a threat to his kingdom and who’s full of hot air. Stop playing folks, because now is not the time. Lives are on the line!

Where’s your badge?!
