A battle rages between the forces of good and evil; a battle between Jesus Christ and the spirit of Antichrist - a battle between God and Satan…
a battle for the souls of men.
“we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
Will we stand and fight with our King in the strength and the power of His might, in His authority, with His provision:
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6
…or will we fight in our own power and strength, using fleshly endeavors and egotistical efforts - using weapons of idealism, philosophy, humanism or religion - fighting spiritual battles with worldly weapons...
Or will we even bother to fight at all?
