Default Are We In A War Zone ????

1 Peter 5:8 .....Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.


We must never forget that we are in a spiritual war.

Regardles of how well things may seem to be going for us .

We live in a perpetual War Zone.

How many casualties occur because we think we live in a time of peace?

Your right Oogi. We are fighting , but we are in God's army and the battle is His but, we need to put on all our armour.... the breastplate of righteousness , the helmet of salvation, your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, and above all taking the shield of faith to withstand all the fiery darts.and the sword of theSpirit., which is the Word of God.

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

But praise God ..... We know where our source is . He will fight our battles for us . Amen ?

As we go through each battle we become stronger in the Lord. He never promised us a rose garden.

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.

blessings,

Lynn
