Are terrorists enemies? Yes. Are they reasonable men questing for a noble solution to their grievances? No. Can you reach an amicable solution with them. No. So we are left with confrontation, enough physical involvement to eliminate such threats upon good hearted people.

But, it is really a warfare of a different kind and so the weapons must also be distinct:.2Corinthians 10:4.
   It is a warfare of the heart:.Matthew 15:19.
   Top notch security people know this...

What are the weapons of this warfare?.Ephesians 6:10-18.

Terrorists are not coming against 'us' per se; they are coming against the very idea of good, because we know its the dark side influences. And that's not smart.

If we know that Christ is in us.(with what that means), enemies come not against us, but against Him.

By all means, a peaceful solution should be sought, so much so that any enemy will know for sure that peace is a sincerity of heart.

Never threaten with a big sword. Having a big sword and the confidence and ability to use it is all that is necessary. Emmanuel had a very big sword:.Matthew 26:52,53 "Then said Emmanuel unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place, for all they that take the sword perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?".And you have the same power once aligned with the Great Infinite One. You may not have known this, but one of the reasons the Infinite One becoming human was to make us His equal. This said Emmanuel when they were taking Him to be crucified. He could have stopped it, but was strong enough not to. How He got this strength:.Matthew 26:39,42,44.

He got such strength and was ready to face His destiny with courage:.Matthew 26:46; John 18:36,37 "My kingdom is not of this world...You say that I am a king. To this end was I born and for this cause came I into the world..."

Remember, it is a war of the invisible we fight, not the visible:.Ephesians 6:12. Once you win the invisible war, there is no hint of visible war to be found.

And we only wrestle against these invisible things to the extent of our lack in understanding:.Colossians 2:15. Here it says Christ has already defeated any and all enemies. So, obviously then, we must be in line with the universal laws that will produce peace and to this end, Dr. John Hagelin is on the forfront with building 'universities of peace' and constructing homes in alignment with the universal energies and such things are most important for the peace and prosperity of all humanity.

Our strength is in Him and comes from belief:.Mark 6:5,6.
   But if we trust in our 'mighty machines' of warfare, we too may lose:.Isaiah 31:1-3.

"We never drift into strength. Drifting makes no muscle; the muscle is impoverished. The man who drifts with the stream appears to be conserving his strength, while in reality the ease is just the measure of the leakage. It is the man who appears to be expending strength.(Matthew 11:12).who is really gaining it; the man toiling at the oar and resisting the stream, he acquires the power of the stream he resists. The policy of drifting appears to find, but it loses; the policy of resistance and endurance appears to lose, but it grandly finds. It is not by silence, but by expression that we win." ...Jowett. Matthew 10:38,39.
