The Christmas Invasion




Something is wrong with the world. You can't deny it no matter how good your life is.
There is something missing in your life. You don't know and you try every single thing.

This is not how it should be. Come. He has opened up the mysteries of ages and is showing you the truth of the world, of you.

This is an epic. It is as true for you as it is as true for me. It is your epic, as much as it is my epic. This is a world at war.

"Christianity agrees with Dualism that this universe is at war. But it does not think it is a war between independent powers. I think it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in the part of the universe occupied by the rebel.

Enemy-occupied territory - that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening in to the secret wireless from our friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going." - C.S.Lewis, Mere Christianity.

The king has landed. Waging war with love. He broke the barrier and came to us. On the night of Christ's birth, a great war broke out in the heavens, far from the peaceful scene of Silent Night, the dragon (Satan) fought against Michael the archangel to prevent God's plan from succeeding (Revelation 12).


He came. He has given as He has said. Love. And He left us with this: Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength, and love your neighbour as yourself. (Mark 12:30-31) 

He has you up in arms. You are here and you are His child. Come closer. Listen. Fight with love.
