Or perhaps you involuntarily started a skirmish, and now you face a battle that you\u2019re not sure you\u2019re going to win?<\/p>\n<p>If you answered \u201cyes\u201d to either of these questions, then you know a bit about what it must feel like to be Katniss Everdeen in <em>The Hunger Games<\/em>. After being willing to sacrifice herself to save her younger sister who would have been a totally vulnerable and inexperienced fighter, she has transformed into a formidable warrior who is capable of leading a successful rebellion against a very corrupt system.<\/p>\n<p>She (literally) shattered the Hunger Games, and now Katniss will be the rallying point for the Districts\u2019 attempts to overthrow their oppressors.<\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what she wanted\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote-right\" style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;What symbol shows your commitment to the spiritual war we\u00a0fight in every day?&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>And neither would we\u2014right? Like Katniss, we all would rather just have peace and be with friends and family in a stress free environment. Unfortunately, neither our world, nor <em>The Hunger Games<\/em> world, is set up that way. So, we would be wise to\u2014like Katniss\u2014find our own personal Mockingjay!<\/p>\n<p>In <em>The Hunger Games<\/em>, the Mockingjay is a symbol of rebellion towards the Capitol and a mockery of their failed attempts at spying on the Districts. To Katniss, it is a reminder of what she is fighting for and how vulnerable she is in the war she never wanted in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>So what is your Mockingjay? In other words, what symbolizes your commitment to the spiritual war we fight in every day and reminds you that we can never get comfortable or lose our focus on THE Cause of Christ? Look, I am with those of you that long for a more comfortable and conflict free life, but hey, whether or not we asked for it, when we trusted in Jesus for salvation, we joined the fighting forces of rebellion against the gates of Hell itself!<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I\u2019ve chosen the Cross for my Mockingjay. It is a symbol of rebellion towards the spiritual forces of darkness that wreak so much death and destruction in our world, and it reminds me of the astonishing vulnerability of Jesus Christ. He is the God of the Universe, yet He was born in a stable. But more than that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px; text-align: left;\"><em>Though he was God,<\/em><em><br \/>\nhe did not think of equality with God<br \/>\nas something to cling to.<br \/>\nInstead, he gave up his divine privileges;<br \/>\nhe took the humble position of a slave<br \/>\nand was born as a human being.<br \/>\nWhen he appeared in human form,<br \/>\nhe humbled himself in obedience to God<br \/>\nand died a criminal\u2019s death on a cross<\/em> (<a href=index6ac2.html?search=Philippians+2%3A6-8&amp;version=NLT\%22>Philippians 2:6-8<\/a>, NLT).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection started a war for the souls of all mankind. Like the Capitol, Satan wants to maintain control over the world and keep all his subjects in complete subjugation, but God left us here when we were saved so that we can help take down the kingdom of darkness!<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote-right\" style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;God left us here when we were saved so that we can help take down the kingdom of darkness!&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>So I have a cross in my car to remind me to pray for my friends and family when I\u2019m driving. I have a cross at my desk to encourage me to fight the good fight against the world, the flesh and the devil each and every moment.<\/p>\n<p>I even have a cross in my bedroom to remind me that Jesus is the reason I have breath in my lungs and a fire in my heart to serve Him from the beginning to the end of each day.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you need a \u201cMockingjay,\u201d and might I suggest you choose the cross of Jesus Christ, as well? Not as a religious symbol, but rather as a rebellious representation against the sinful patterns of this world. Looking to the cross will keep your heart, soul, mind and strength focused on Christ and His cause each moment.\u00a0 And if you are looking for worlds of encouragement to get in the battle, let these words wash over the deepest part of you:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px; text-align: left;\"><em>Then Jesus said to his disciples, \u201cIf any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your\u00a0<strong>cross<\/strong>, and follow me\u201d<\/em> (<a href=index291e.html?search=Matthew+16%3A24&amp;version=NLT\%22>Matthew 16:24<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px; text-align: left;\"><em>The<\/em><em>\u00a0message of\u00a0<strong>the<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>cross<\/strong>\u00a0is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is\u00a0the\u00a0very power of God<\/em> (<a href=index7441.html?search=1+Corinthians+1%3A18&amp;version=NLT\%22>1 Corinthians 1:18<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px; text-align: left;\"><em>As for me, may I never boast about anything except\u00a0the<strong> cross<\/strong>\u00a0of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that\u00a0<strong>cross<\/strong>, my interest in this world has been crucified, and\u00a0the\u00a0world\u2019s interest in me has also died <\/em>(<a href=index98ad.html?search=Galatians+6%3A14&amp;version=NLT\%22>Galatians 6:14<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>So if the Hunger Games motivates you to fight injustice, find your Mockingjay and get in the battle for THE Cause!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Flashpoint: Ignite Into Action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes having a symbol can really be helpful in reminding us of what is truly important, and nothing is more critical than THE Cause of Christ!
