We Have Not Yet BEGUN To Fight!

In 1779, soldiers found themselves in the middle of the American Revolution. On September 23rd of that year, Naval Captain John Paul Jones and his crew were told to surrender as they engaged in battle with a British frigate of the northern coast of England.

You may not be familiar with the battle, but I’m sure you’ve heard his famous response: “I’ve not yet begun to fight!”

Surrender was not an option. Even though they were out-manned, out-gunned, and out-resourced, they continued to fight. It was difficult. Their boat sank...but they were victorious.

Today, patriots are tired. The last few years have been difficult. It’s hard to watch criminals walk free with seemingly no accountability. It’s discouraging to feel like we can’t see anything tangibly happen.

But now is NOT the time for surrender. May we stand together and proclaim, “We’ve not yet begun to fight!”

In Ephesians 6, we are instructed to put on the armor of God. In verse 13, it says, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Having done ALL to stand.

United together, in the armor of God, we must stand. It’s not possible to put on the armor of God and sit down; it was meant to be used.

No one said it would be easy.

Let's keep going, friends...We have not yet begun to fight! 🔥
