“…Prepare for war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:”
Joel 3:9

In the Bible, Joel 3:9 declares, “Prepare war, wake up the mighty men…”—a timeless call for believers to awaken, recognize the spiritual battles around them, and ready themselves in the strength of the Lord. Just as Joel spoke to a nation in crisis, today’s Church is reminded that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but, as Ephesians 6:12 teaches, against spiritual forces that seek to undermine faith, integrity, and truth. This call is not reserved for an ancient people, it is a present summons to proclaim God’s message to all, stirring hearts out of complacency and into spiritual vigilance.

To “wake up the mighty men” is to recognize the authority God has placed within His people and to step boldly into the roles He has assigned. Scripture urges believers to draw near, stand together, and fight side by side, for “a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). As God raises up a generation prepared for spiritual warfare, we are called to unite, equip ourselves through prayer and Scripture, and take our place in His army. With Christ as our strength and victory, we rise as awakened warriors ready for the battles of our time.

Barry has stood as a steadfast example of what it means to contend with spiritual forces and destructive ideologies, demonstrating resilience in the face of relentless opposition. Likewise, Action4Canada has modelled uncompromising commitment to God’s Word by boldly proclaiming truth, mobilizing citizens, and empowering them to stand firm against the spiritual darkness and moral challenges of our day. Together, they exemplify what it looks like when believers take their place on the front lines of the battle for truth and righteousness.
