You Have To Fight
Living the Christian life, as men of God, will require you to fight. We are in a constant spiritual battle. They enemy will not give up until he is thrown into his eternal damnation location as promised in the Bible.
We need to fight for our nation, our families, our communities, the nation of Israel, and our own spiritual lives.
Our enemy, the fallen angel who wanted to be the one worshiped and praised, is continually warring against the saints of our Creator. He is relentless.
“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8, NASB
Men should be accustomed to war. In the natural, it has mostly been the men who have gone out, leaving home and family, to wage war against those who had sought to take over, destroy, and kill off other countries. It has cost million of lives on both sides.
But as in the natural, we must fight in the spiritual, using the weapons we have been given.
With prayer (I especially use my spiritual prayer tongue daily), the Lord’s written Word, gathering with other believers – these are needed to combat the enemy in the unseen world.
We must not think we can sit on the sidelines and casually watch. We must engage the enemy to win the battle. Not just on defense, but we must go on the offense too.
“The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But victory belongs to the Lord.” Proverbs 21:31, NASB
I am most thankful for the faithful women who have been prayer warriors.
Men, we need to step up our game!
Ahava and shalom,
