Spiritual Warfare Where Do We Stand? Are We Really With God?
Spiritual, what does that mean? Relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul opposed to material or physical things.
Then we have Warfare = ENGAGING IN or the ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN war or conflict.

Ephesians 6:10,11 10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11) put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the whiles of the devil.”
We are always going to be involved in spiritual warfare. From birth until death. It’s up to us how hard we are willing to fight and whose side we choose. God will only stop fighting for us when He sees WE just sort of want Him involved. There will come a time when He will let go & leave us to our own demise. There will not be any more second chances THEN.
Satan has a habit of putting fear in us. God says “so not fear”. In Psalms 27:1-3 it says, 1) the Lord IS my light & my salvation; whom them shall I fear? The Lord is my strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2) when wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. 3) though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident.”
We can not just SIT there and do nothing. We aren’t expected of that from God. He says in Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
God says He will NEVER leave us in Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear not be afraid of them; for the Lord Your God, He is the One who goes with You. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Ephesians 6:11-18 11) Our on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand the wiles of the devil. 12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13) Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand, 14) stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15) and having,shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.; 16) above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17) and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God; 18) praying always with all Prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with perseverance and supplication for all the saints–“

Amen Charlotte, We will be in warfare all or lives and we cannot live in fear and expect to get any victory over satan, he’s always trying to destroy us. But we have to know how to stand against him. And the word is what we use.I don’t live in fear and I let not my heart be troubled nor will I be dismayed!! Good stuff girl. You ought to read the three things I have about fear on my fb page. Bill liked them and my Pastor that I used to go to church at til he moved.
