Spiritual battle ground

If you've been a Christian for very long, you will agree with me that we go into battle every day. There's a spiritual battle that exists in all of us if we are a follower of Christ.  You may think that the enemies you face are people or objects, but in reality our opponent is sin.

Because of this, we must be prepared daily to go into battle.  This means putting on the full armor of God.  The tools we need in preparation are found in the Bible and in prayer.

The devil prowls around and tries to use our circumstances to overwhelm us with fear.  Unfortunately, we tend to fight our battles with other people, instead of addressing the sin.

Satan hates it when Christians gather around and pray for those who have fallen away or for those who are struggling.

Keep the faith.  God's already won the battle!

Ephesians 6:12 – "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."
