Aperçue du livre “ARMED & DANGEROUS”.

Dear Beloved Reader, 

Have you ever felt powerless? Have you ever stood in the face of temptation, fear, or doubt, wondering if you had what it takes to endure? Have you questioned whether you could make a difference in a world so broken, so dark, so desperately in need of hope? If so, I want you to know this: you are not alone. More than that—you are not powerless. 

As a child of God, you have been given a position of extraordinary power and authority—not because of anything you’ve done, but because of everything Jesus has accomplished. You are armed and dangerous to the enemy, not because of your ability to pray, fast, or study the Bible, though these are precious disciplines. No, you are dangerous because Jesus, the Stronger Man, has disarmed the powers of darkness and raised you to new life, seating you with Him in the heavenly places. 

This isn’t merely a feel-good statement; it’s a reality rooted in Scripture. Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore…” (Matthew 28:18–19). That “therefore” is for you. The same authority that overcame death and disarmed Satan now sends you to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and stand firm in a world at war. 

But here’s the truth: we often live unaware of what has already been accomplished for us. We look at our struggles and feel unqualified or unprepared. We see the chaos in the world and feel overwhelmed. Yet the reality is this: the battle has already been won. The victory is secure. Now, God calls you to stand, to go, and to live out the authority He has placed in your hands.

This book is a journey into that truth. My prayer is to take you by the hand and open your eyes to the enormity of what Jesus has done—and the power of who you are in Him. This isn’t just theology to learn; it’s a reality to live. You are armed, you are equipped, and you are called. 

But let me be honest—this isn’t a call to comfort. It’s a call to war. We are in a spiritual battle, and the stakes are eternal. The enemy wants to keep you ignorant, distracted by the noise of the world, paralysed by fear or doubt. But the truth of who you are in Christ will shatter those chains. You are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness, and Satan knows it. He trembles when you stand in the authority of Jesus. 

You don’t need to become “more spiritual” to live this out. You don’t need to reach some higher level of holiness to begin. You simply need to understand who you are and what you’ve been given. In the kingdom of God, everything we accomplish is rooted in revelation. The moment you grasp the truth of your position in Christ, everything changes.

The stakes are too high for us to live unaware. Look around. The world is groaning—desperate for hope, for truth, for redemption. People are harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. And here’s the incredible truth: God has chosen you as part of His plan to reach them. He has armed you, empowered you, and commissioned you. You are His ambassador, carrying the message of reconciliation to a lost and dying world. 

This isn’t just about survival. It’s about triumph. It’s about advancing the kingdom of God, standing firm against every attack, and proclaiming the excellencies of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). It’s about living boldly and fearlessly for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. 

So, I invite you on this journey. In these pages, we’ll explore what it means to be raised with Christ, armed for battle, and sent with a mission. We’ll uncover the power of the armour of God, the beauty of your identity in Christ, and the urgency of the Great Commission. 

This isn’t theory or abstraction—it’s real. It’s personal. It’s your calling. My hope is that by the time you finish this book, your heart will burn with passion for the King who has already won the battle. That you’ll rise with the confidence of someone who knows they are armed and dangerous—ready to stand firm, fight boldly, and go fearlessly into the world for the glory of God. 

We are at war, my friend. But take heart—the victory is already ours. Let’s step into it together. For His glory and your joy, 

Rachel Mahouti
