We Have It All...

We're in a spiritual warfare whether we're aware of it or not.  2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.  On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." 

God's enemy is our enemy as well.  Satan is seeking to devour whoever will let him.  He doesn't fight fair at all.  He uses lies, deception, and half-truths.  He appears as an angel of light, but schemes and plans according to our weaknesses to drag us away from full submission and obedience to the Lord.  

We don't have to let him win, but we do when refuse to acknowledge the battle and don't take up the weapons that are provided for us.  Paul tells us that our weapons are the provided. We've been given the equipment to not only protect ourselves from the attack, but to fight against our enemy.  

Do we have on our helmet of salvation and belt of truth?  Have we picked up the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit?  Are our feet prepared with the gospel?  May we not forsake the assembling together so that we're prepared with the army the Lord provided us with to fight against the enemy of our soul.
