This Means war!

If you ever have those days, weeks, maybe years where you feel like there is a war going on for your life; you are not wrong. Your feelings, I assure you, are correct. I feel like I have currently been in a spiritual battle where the enemy was in my face. I don’t laugh about it anymore. It is no joke Christian Warrior! Prepare yourself for opposition when you attempt to spread the Gospel and find personal spiritual growth. Peter speaks of the spiritual war very pointedly. In 1 Peter 5:8-10 He says, “Be sober! Be on the alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your brothers in the world. Now the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little.” There are times when I find myself thinking I, in my opinion, have suffered enough. When I wake from my delusion of great persecution I remember the level of suffering Jesus went through. That usually shuts my ungrateful attitude down. My point is that there is spiritual warfare going on, your part of it, your fellow Christians share your struggles, you would be blessed to suffer like Jesus did, and you will enjoy a great victory with Christ as long as you stand firm in your faith. Let us pray daily that we never forget that we are perfectly perfected in our Savior Jesus Christ.
