God wins! What you said about vigilance is right on. There were supposed to be 5 planes on 9/11 but a security officer realized something wasn't right. Now is the time to let your security teams know that they can be a part of lifesaving intervention just by making attackers uncomfortable, prior to violence. Another great article from Christian Warrior Training.

This is definitely a concern, and thank you for laying it out brilliantly. I do have a question, although it has nothing to do with church defense (I didn't know where else to ask it). I work for a defense contractor on Long Island, NY. Would you know if there have been any credible threats against this type of business?

When we returned back to the United States after the rescue and recovery of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut Lebanon. It didn't take long to realize the added security measures on the base. It is good to see that houses of worship are proactive with security measures .

My prayers go out to those already affected by violence. Also for the guidance of the church security teams knowing that at any moment they may be forced to take a life in an effort to save multiple lives.

Tell me that if you had a person of Muslim faith praying on a hill by your church at 5:00 o'clock every Sunday evening, it should be of concern to pay close attention to the individual and maybe learn more about him. Even though technically he is not on your property but less than a foot away. Maybe it's just me.

Go pray with him and use it as a moment to talk about Jesus.

In our former church, we had a Sufi Muslim show up most Sundays, claiming to just want a place to pray among others. I later learned he also really liked the music of our worship leader. Sufis are a peaceful sect within Islam, and as likely to be attacked by militant Muslims as Christians are. Also, we have lots of Iranians here, but they are the ones who left when the ayatollah took over, and very pro-American.

Do you mean how will the foot soldiers of communsists working for the illigitimate government create attacks on churches to level them?

Exactly. Probably teams of 5 with a leader. Well armed. Comms. Fast. Simultaneous across the regions. 3 days in succession. 1. Large groups. Stadiums. Mega churches. Festivals. Etc. 2. Private homes. 3. Grid. Roads. Bridges. Aircraft.

These are killers. Not interested in money or your stuff. No trading for favor. No negotiations necessary. Here to kill. Know they will be killed in turn. But here to wreak heavy casualties fast as possible. Perhaps 10k in US. Several dates ahead. Theologically philosophically and ideologically driven. They have been prepping a long time. Recent invasion numbers enforce existing experienced team members. They know how we live. They will exploit every weakness.

Thank you for sharing about knife attacks. I believe they will be more prevalent in the future.

I've experienced a knife attack at church and was successful at defending and disarming the attacker. I have had some self-defense experience dabbling in Karate, but I experienced an instant lesson in knife defense from the Holy Spirit and applied it successfully, Phil 4:19. Thank you Lord!

First, Please pray for discernment. The Lord knows your most pressing needs and how to order your plans.

Second, get the self defense training you need. Krav Maga covers self defense, fitness and fighting. MBC or Martial Blades Concepts does a deep dive on knife defense and fighting. It's easy to learn and doesn't take a lot of time to get/be effective. It is legally and morally designed, which is important for a Christian, (there are no lethal techniques involved).

Get out there and get it done. You'll be surprised to find the self defense community is like church, filled with some amazing people.

A secondary effect from this training is the psychological effect on you and any perspective adversary. Basically, you become more self confident and fearless, which reduces your stress and you carry yourself differently. Predators tend to avoid people with those characteristics.

God bless you guys!
