Risala 2 - Winning a War Without Weapons

Trey Knowles: Risala 2 - Winning a War Without Weapons

You don’t need a physical weapon to fight the devil. The true weapon is the power of saying no to ungodliness and separating yourself from ways that lead to destruction. What makes us different from the devil and his children is our desire to love God and submit to His ways. 

Those who follow righteousness seek peace, while those driven by control and domination pursue power—what many recognize as colonization. This is not the nature of people who walk in love, unless they are influenced by corrupt systems that promote division and harm.

When people who seek holiness separate themselves from corrupt systems, they begin to clearly see the difference between righteous living and behavior driven by power, control, and selfishness. They choose compassion over conflict and obedience over domination.

Those who pursue domination and control reflect the spirit of division. But what happens when Black Christians, Muslims, Arabs, Indians, and people across the Asian world come together in harmony, peace, and love? They unite with a shared desire to do the will of Yahweh our Father and to follow Yeshua, the Son of Yahweh. They choose righteousness, call on truth, and turn away from harmful behaviors and oppressive systems.

When people walk away from division and choose unity rooted in faith, love, and obedience to God, the influence of evil weakens. Division loses its power, and unity grows stronger. We don't mind coming together with righteous Europeans; those who are truly righteous can live among us. 

What would happen if the devil and his children stayed in European countries only? As it is written, a house divided against itself cannot stand. But a people united in righteousness, peace, and love can overcome without weapons.

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٞ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ أَخَوَيۡكُمۡۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ  Quran 49:10 

The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy.

Grace and Peace, Trey Knowles.
