Yes, we are in a war zone, but it is unlike any other war that has ever been fought because this war has already been won!
Colossians 2:15 tells us that Jesus disarmed the principalities and powers, triumphing over them. We do not battle to gain the victory, but to enforce the victory that has already been won. We are the only army in history that has marched into battle knowing that we can't lose. We suffer temporary defeats only because we have never taken hold of (or have momentarily forgotten) the victory that is ours in Christ.
