The War of Kindness

A war which will never appear in the history books, nor will it ever be known in folklore. This war started about 53 years ago, in the United States of America. In actuality, it was not a physical military conflict between enemy nations – it was a spiritual war, of significant scale, between specific forces in the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. It was only just recently concluded. Albeit,  no white flags were flown, nor were any peace conferences held to establish terms of truce or cease fire. Called a “war” primarily for its evergrowing scale and scope, over several generations. This particular war has spanned many countries, languages, and socio-economic stratum, from world leaders to the poorest of  beggars. Yes, an invisible war, not merely exisitng in people's minds, like some philosophical debate, but instead, an actual physical, mental, and emotional conflict of varying degrees of ferocity - with great pain (emotional and physical), betrayal, deception, death, damage, loss, and tremendous financial waste. 

At the very beginning, the first conflict started when a young man, 17 years old, was recruited into the kingdom of light, in Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A. in 1970. Through various circumstances, and a childhood of maticulous preparation, the Lord of Hosts’ selection of this particular recrute seems to have provoked certain high level elements in the kingdom of darkness.
 

This War of Kindness, from it’s onset, comprised innumerable conflicts and battles, all of which raged on with great intensity. Many battles were lost, with many casualties, seen and unseen, deep and superficial. In most cases, no one even knew or understood that such a war was taking its toll - many, many wounded, with few recoveries. 

With the passage of time, and again, well orchestrated cirumstances, the Kingdom of Light, started to get the upperhand around 2015. The final, deciding conflict,  occurred almost one year ago, on a remote Pacific island, in the CNMI (a new U.S. island territory).
 

Although the enemy forces (darkness) will never acknowledge their loss or even existence of such a war, the Commander and Chief of the forces of light, has regained much lost territory, retrieved/regained the heart of many traitors, and restored countless assets for the Kingdom of Light.

  
Thousands and thousands of scurmishes, conflicts, and battles for the past ½ century, and, the enemy could never get over the  kindness, forgiveness, mercy, and purposed forgetfullness (all from the power of the Holy Spirit).  

The conclusion of the War of Kindness brought great clarity, from the Holy Spirit, for some who may have entered other, similar wars, that have yet to be won. Our Commander and Chief, Jesus Christ, the Lord of Hosts, strengthens our hands for battle against the powers of darkness. Our weapons are not physical, but quite powerful in the Holy Spirit. We musn't forget that God, Abba Father, fights our enemies.
