Are You Ready to Fight?

Have you noticed that Satan will always try to interfere with someone radically following Jesus?

... the enemy has NO POWER.

"Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

So, are you ready to fight?

Know that you are in a battle. The enemy has come to steal, kill, and destroy. Your joy. Your dreams. Your hope. Your passion. Your relationships. 

Know who your enemy is. Though your enemy may appear to be your spouse, your child, your friend, your boss, whomever... we don't wrestle with flesh and blood. If you are in Christ, your enemy is Satan himself. He wants you to think others are your enemies so that you will destroy your own relationships. 

Know who fights for you.  ^"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Ex. 14:14) Sometimes He calls us to be still. Sometimes He arms us for battle. But regardless, HE IS WITH US AND FIGHTS ON OUR BEHALF. You are not alone in this fight, my friend.

Know your ammo. We can't walk into a battle ill-prepared. And we have everything we need to fight! So know your ammo - your belt of truth, your breastplate of righteousness, your boots of peace, your shield of faith, your helmet of salvation, and your sword - God's Word. So, put it on!  Every.day. every.moment. (Ephesians 6)

Know who wins. Have no doubt. Do not be discouraged. Resist the enemies ploy to render you paralyzed and ineffective. Because we know who wins this thing. JESUS CHRIST IS THE VICTOR! He wins! He's already won. And He is on your side. 

Are you in a battle today? Are you aware of who your real enemy is? Do you know and believe and live like your God fights for you? Do you armor up every day -- so you can take your stand? And above all...do you know Who wins? Please share your comments so that I can pray for you. We are in this together!
