EPHESIANS 6:10-11A INTRO TO HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE

We Need To Know We Are In A War Is 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:12-15

 When it comes to defining the Christian life, the best term is warfare. At the end of Paul’s life he said, “I have fought a good fight.” In his ministry he said, “I fight not as one who beats the air.” To Timothy he said, “Be a soldier who endures harness.” Repeatedly in Scripture the Christian life is seen as warfare. When Jesus began His ministry the first part of His ministry was a battle with Satan, after forty days of fasting in which Satan approached Him and tempted Him subtly three times. And the way His ministry ended was the same way as Satan began to come against Him in the garden of Gethsemane and He began to sweat as it were great drops of blood.

                                The Christian life never stops being a war, but the longer you fight the battle the greater the number of victories. And the more battles you win, the more confidence you have in God and the more you know that HE is going to take you through and the more exciting it is as you see God's power working in your life.
