"Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.") Ephesians 6:13-18) There can never be peace in the heart of the believer. There is peace with God, but a constant war with sin. Remember that God allows spiritual warfare as a crucial component of your spiritual growth. Salvation is free, but becoming a disciple of Christ will cost you all you have. God uses the attacks of Satan to bring us to new personal dependence on The Lord. That is why daily obedience is more important than spectacular experiences. The most important secret to victory is getting up each day and doing what God has called you to do. God had given you everything you need to fight and win the battle: The Word of God; the Holy Spirit; The armor of God; a new nature; a new position; the body of Christ; the weapon of prayer; and Christ interceding for you in heaven. Sometimes we stumble and sometimes we fall under the crushing blows of the enemy. But God says to us, "Arise, my child. Rise and face your enemy. He is already defeated. Stand and fight in my power and you cannot lose. Let the battle begin. "Father God, thank you that you have given us everything we need to fight and win the battle. Amen."
