How Can We Be Ready to Face the Resistance in Our Faith Journey

In a world overwhelmed by physical and emotional struggles, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that spiritual warfare exists and is just as much a part of our daily lives. The reality is that there is a spiritual enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, and undermine God's mission to redeem this broken world. Without understanding this reality, we are unprepared for the resistance, discouragement, and shame which deters us from serving God's kingdom. That is why it is so important to be prepared against spiritual attack - not by using our own strength to protect ourselves, but by drawing power and strength from God's righteousness, the gift of salvation, Scriptural literacy, prayer, and truth. Only then can we understand the battle of the soul that is being fought, and take part in the victory of God redeeming this world, one person at a time.
