Paul instructed the Corinthians saying, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses and strongholds. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”

The battle field is often in our mind, where demonic spirits fill our thoughts with erroneous speculations, and lies that are meant to demoralize us. We should never allow the enemy to convince us by fear and doubt that we cannot do whatever God’s word says we can do. The following is a great illustration of the believer’s battle from my friend and chaplain, Tobias Abuchan of the South Sudan Liberation Army in Nimule.

“The Biblical word for fight in Hebrew is Lakham. When the Jewish people came back to the land of Israel, they had to quickly organize and an army for the first time and learn to fight. They developed into one of the most effective and powerful fighting forces in history.

You may not be a fighter in the natural realm, but in the spiritual realm you cannot be a pacifist. You have to fight. If you are a child of light you have to stand against the darkness. If you do not fight, you will lose because you are already in a fight. Your enemy attacks your faith, love, marriage, and relationship with God.

The soldier who does not realize he is in a battle is a sitting duck for the enemy. Don’t be a sitting duck! Fight back – not against people, but against the darkness. Fight the good fight of faith, love, joy, truth, righteousness and hope. Stop living on the defensive and start overcoming. Put up your spiritual fists and come out swinging. You’re on the winning side, but you can’t win if you don’t fight.”

Are you all in
