The battle plan (fight) 2

I once heard a story of a Christian who had enlisted in the army. He shared the barracks with a bunch of non-Christians and they gave him a hard time. Every night, when he would begin to say his prayers, they would curse at him and throw things at him. He decided to let his Sergeant know about it. The Sergeant said, "Well, if you don't want them messing with you, just say your prayers in silent." The soldier gave that a try, but as he began to pray that night in silence he felt like the Lord wanted him to pray audibly. He responded by falling on his face and talking to his God about those in the barracks. He prayed for their salvation every night. And within a few weeks they stopped throwing things, three of them had given their life to Lord, and he was teaching a Bible study in the barracks. Can you imagine if this soldier would have stayed silent? Paul writing to Timothy tells us, "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." (I Timothy 6:12) If we stay in the battle and do not let our voice be silenced, lives will be changed.
