How to Fight Spiritual Battles: Weapons, Tactics & Mindset

"I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people." -Jude 1:3

"By building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh." -Jude 1:20-23

Are God's people ready for war? How do we fight in the spiritual realm? How do we train for battle? What weapons has God provided for us to use? How do we know when we've won? (hint: there is Hope and a Future)

Today we start our training. Let's fight the good fight of Faith and WIN. We'll use the Word of God, which is the sword of the Spirit. Having done all, we will stand. We will be READY for every attack, FIERCE in preventing every type of harm, and by the grace of God, we will have every Victory, because we have fixed our eyes on the Author and the perfecter of our Faith. LET'S GO, CHURCH!!
