We are at war. If you don’t realize the battle is on for your mind, heart and soul, you’ve already lost so many battles. Every day when our eyes open we step onto a battle field where our enemy pursues, attacks, and if we’re not prepared: destroys.

 

Our lives, marriages, children, and future hang in the balance. Our enemy? Satan, a ferocious lion looking for a soul to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Our battle? Not against flesh and blood but against the powers of this dark world and spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). Our weapons? The armor of God and the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:10-18).

 

Today there is a battle raging that none of us can win on our own. Though our enemy is great, the One who dwells within us through faith in Jesus is far greater than him (1 John 4:4).
