Hi Everyone,
I have a great love and interest in the study of military history. I never served in a physical war, but I know that I am involved in a spiritual war; therefore, I study physical war.
How many of you have watched the HBO series "Band of Brothers"? I don't think that I have ever witnessed a more inspiring example of leadership than Capt. Dick Winters leading his men in a desperate charge against the Germans in Operation Market Garden. His leadership was Messiah like.
Recently, I read a personal account of this charge in the May 06 issue of WWII History. This article is entitled, "The Island." I have never quite read anything like this personal account by Dick Winters, and I would encourage all to go to a book store and read the article or buy the book from which the article was excerpted: "Beyond Band of Brothers."
In this article, Capt. Winters admits that after he determined to take the battle directly to the enemy that he asked ELOHIM to give him strength. His leadership here was outstanding as those who watched the series could very well see.
What we could not see in the HBO series recreation, was the perception of Capt. Winters as he led this charge. I have never heard or read a description of combat quite like what Capt. Winters describes. He admits that he seemed to be floating across the field in his charge easily outdistancing all of his men. Atop the dike, all the movements of the enemy appeared to him to be in slow motion. Capt. Winters cannot give a reason for this perception. He thinks that he is experiencing a mental trance. The movements of everyone else seemed out of synch to him. Only his own movements seemed normal. Capt. Winters relates that he had never experienced in combat anything similar before.
I don't know, but I feel that Capt. Winters received the help from ELOHIM that he asked for. Capt. Winters was actually moving faster than everyone else. His movements were not normal. That is why he survived what should have been sure death for him.
I bring all of this up because I know that in spiritual warfare, time and space were modified in a spiritual sense for Messiah Yahushua when he led his charge on the Cross. This physical experience of Capt. Winters is not the same as what happened with Messiah, but it is a type of what did occur, and it helps me believe. I hope it does the same for you.
Sincerely, Ab
