This coming Sunday, I want to share with you how to fight the battle of life by preparing for it. Also, what kind of armor and what kind of equipment do you need to wear? The Bible is very, very clear about this. The Bible tells us, Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-11 NIV) I hate to tell you this, but you were born into a battle. You did not ask for this battle, but when you were born on earth you were born into a cosmic battle. There is an unseen war going on between good and evil, between light and darkness, between God and Satan. They are not equal enemies. Satan is far inferior. He is a created being. God is a zillion times more powerful than Satan. One day God is going to wipe him out. But he allows him to exist right now so that people have a choice because it is not real love unless you can choose not to love somebody. So, God gives us a choice between good and evil. He is using that right now.
There are three things that Paul teaches us about fighting the battles that you fight: The battle against discouragement, the battle against depression, the battle against doubt, the battle against despair, the battle against darkness in your life, the delays and dead ends and difficulties. These are battles that come against you in life. Unless you are prepared for them, you are going to be taken out by Satan. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN! Make Every Day Count!
