The Bible is filled with music. Today, Christians are singing.
You raise me up
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2: 8-9
Amazing Grace
After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
“Give thanks to the Lord,
for his love endures forever.”
As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.
2 Chronicles 20; 21-22

No fight is necessary: that is a false doctrine. "Be still, and know that I am God." “Be still' means to stop striving, stop fighting, relax. It also means to “put your hands down”. Trust in God or not. You said, "This battle is going to get stronger the closer we get to the end times!" Just the opposite.
Amen...

What she described IS fruit.
Really? We have a different view of fruits. The Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are an enumeration of seven spiritual gifts originating from patristic authors, later elaborated by five intellectual virtues and four other groups of ethical characteristics. They are: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.

Would you care to carry that message to the Almighty, rumi, so that He will know that in your opinion, He got it wrong?
For the Triune God of the Bible has advised us NOT to stand down before the enemy:
"We do not wrestle against flesh and blood."
The Bible often illustrates the Christian life as a battle against sin and Satan. We are soldiers of Christ in a spiritual warfare (2 Corinthians 10:3, 4; 2 Timothy 2:3, 4).
As Scripture says, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against . . . spiritual hosts of wickedness” (Ephesians 6:12).
That’s why the apostle Paul encourages Christians to “put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (verse 11).
"Be still and know that I am God," means to stop chattering like a magpie, and listen to His still quiet voice as He speaks to you through His Word.

I wanted to see what he came up with.Vital to that verse is this, and I hope you understand: "against such things there is no law." Profound! Deeply mysterious. Beyond the understanding of most mainstream Christianity.
