“Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won where the way leads to the cross.”
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 10:4-6
A few years ago, my former Pastor led us in a chorus of the song, “I want to die on the Battlefield.” I love this song! I have seen men and women give their lives over to the enemy only to find that the end thereof is destruction. I want to remind you this morning that we are in a battle. Your enemy is strong, wise, and lethal. He will do anything and everything to see you and your family destroyed—there are no rules to play by. But let me also remind you of these great truths friend—
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11
