Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)

SPIRITUAL WARFARE IS REAL AND INTENSE
Hi Friend,
I hope you are having a great week.
Some people are surprised to realize that the Christian life is not a playground; it’s a battleground! Like it or not, if you are a Christian, you are in a battle between good and evil. Spiritual warfare is real…and it’s intense!
So we have a choice as Christians. It isn’t a choice of fighting or not fighting in the spiritual battle; it’s a choice of victory or defeat, advancing or retreating. In the Christian life, either you are overcoming, or you will be overcome.
With the recent shooting in Las Vegas, people are asking the important question “Why does God allow evil?” Here’s a message where I answer that question.
God has given us spiritual armor to help protect us in the battle. Are you using it? I’ve written a short e-book that takes a look at each piece of the armor of God. This e-book is free and you are welcome to share it with others. I hope it helps you in the warfare that you face.
Have you ever been gripped by fear? You know the feeling. Your blood runs cold. A shiver races down your spine. Your mouth goes dry. The hair on your head stands up. It’s a terrifying feeling. Then along with fear comes worry.
Most of what we fear doesn’t actually happen. Still, many people live by the adage that, “Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due.” But what about when trouble actually does come true? Will we crumble? Rage? Collapse?
“Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again” (1 Thessalonians 5:23–24).
