We are living in a world where chaos seems to be the norm with wars, rumors of wars, political wars, and spiritual wars. Declaring War in a Time of Peace: The Spirit of Joab will take you through war and peace from the time of David to where we are in this world today.In the time of King Solomon (the wisest king), he said, "There is a time for war and a time for peace" (Ecclesiastes 3:8), but are we discerning the time we are in today? King David, the father of King Solomon, was called to war but also to peace. In fact, he made a peace pact that would be destroyed by the general of his army, Joab. Joab did not discern if it was a time for war or a time for peace, and he broke the covenant of peace David had with Abner and brought chaos through war and destruction. How many of us have seen the peace but chose the chaos instead? On the Sermon of the Mount, Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God." But what if we prefer the chaos over the peace? Joab's actions caused unnecessary chaos. Are we doing the same today? This book will help us identify where we may have come out of God's peace, and it will help us discern the time we are in. It will help us find our way back to that place where we can rest with Jesus in that place of peace despite the storms going on around us. I advise you to read this book and watch and see how you can find Christ's peace even in a time of war.
