The invisible war

There is a battle going on in our spiritual lives and it requires power of that kind to fight. Even though we can't see it going on, it rages. We see the results of the battle (whether victory or defeat) in this life. We wonder if it's possible to see victory in this life because of how hard the fight is, but through God it can happen. First thing we need to do is to wake up spiritually to what is happening. Get that mind renewed in the will of God. We need to come under the influence of His Holy Spirit so we know how to combat the enemy. Because we are at war with the world, with satan, and even with ourselves. We arm ourselves by spending time in the word for the preparation for battle.
