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. Ephesians 6:12
I served in the Army for 29 years and wear no combat patch. And yet I have been at war 24/7 since December 23, 1979 when I received Christ as my Lord and Savior. Daily battles with the evil one and his darkness. Some days intense, others mild but always the struggle to Pray and read my Bible. Always a battle to believe that God can do all things. Always a struggle to share the life giving message with souls that are lost. Always a battle to train up other faithful men who will teach others also. But what is the cost of quitting, or surrender? To war then, to war! Brothers and sisters are you surprised at the strife you encounter in living out your faith, don’t be. You are in the great conflict. It’s for the souls of men and your reward to come. But know this first of all; the victory already belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. So fight on! Read, Pray, Obey, Share and Trust! And we will all drink deep in His victorious glory when the battle is done. SP292
