Chapter 107<br />

The Warfare Be<strong>for</strong>e Us<br />

God's servants are to put on every piece of <strong>the</strong><br />

Christian armor. We are not wrestling simply with<br />

human foes. God calls upon every Christian to<br />

enter <strong>the</strong> warfare and fight under His leadership,<br />

depending <strong>for</strong> success on <strong>the</strong> grace and help of<br />

Heaven.<br />

We are to go <strong>for</strong>ward in <strong>the</strong> strength of <strong>the</strong><br />

Mighty One. Never are we to yield to Satan's<br />

attacks. Why should not we, as Christian warriors,<br />

stand against principalities and powers, and against<br />

<strong>the</strong> rulers of <strong>the</strong> darkness of this world? God calls<br />

upon us to press <strong>for</strong>ward, using <strong>the</strong> gifts entrusted<br />

to us. Satan will place temptation be<strong>for</strong>e us. He<br />

will try to overcome us by stratagem. But in <strong>the</strong><br />

strength of God we are to stand firm as a rock to<br />

principle.<br />

In this warfare <strong>the</strong>re is no release. Satan's<br />

agents never pause in <strong>the</strong>ir work of destruction.<br />
