The Spiritual Battle Ground
There is an undeniable war between good and evil, light and
darkness. Spiritual warfare exists in the unseen, supernatural
dimension, where God is all powerful and Satan is in revolt. As any
Christian soon discovers, although spiritual warfare is unseen, it’s
absolutely real. To understand the spiritual battle ground, we need
to begin with acknowledging that we are in a war. As Christians,
we are in a spiritual battle of some sort on a daily basis. In warfare,
battles are fought on different fronts, for different reasons, and with
varying degrees of intensity. The same is true in the spiritual battle
ground. Our spiritual battles and warfare are real, even though we
cannot physically see the enemy. But, we can learn how the
battles are fought and how they impact our lives on a daily basis.
And with that, live with godly strategy on how to live a victorious
life in Christ and stand together with others in time of war. So let’s
explore this often unknown territory of the spiritual battle ground.
1 Peter 5:8-9 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil
prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to
devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know
that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the
same kind of sufferings.
It is simply so clear by this scripture that we are facing an enemy
that is against us, and we need to be deliberate in standing
against his onslaughts.
We have to ask ourselves, “Why should we fight?” It will do us no
good to educate ourselves on the battle if we see no reason for
the fight. War is very controversial today in the physical realm. So
those attitudes, beliefs and convictions will transfer over to the way
you approach the spiritual battle if we are not careful and
enlightened.
