Devotional Thought on WE ARE WARRIORS

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 KJV

Many men, when they were boys, often pretended to be great warriors, fighting for the triumph of good over evil. Now as men, that game of pretense has become reality in that we are called to be spiritual warriors, not wielding “carnal” weapons, but pulling down satanic strongholds wielding “mighty” spiritual weapons. Praying men are in the front lines of battle today. But they must not battle alone. Every Christian man must join them, equipped for spiritual battle. Passive warriors are an oxymoron.

Today God is calling for men to see the battle for their families, their countries, and their faith for what it is—a tremendous assault from a ruthless enemy. The spiritual army God is assembling is not a volunteer army, it’s an army of conscripted men. To be saved is to be enlisted.

Charles Spurgeon wrote:
“You must watch, pray, and fight. Expect your last battle to be the most difficult, for the enemy’s fiercest charge is reserved for the end of the day.”

May these “Words of Thought” be a blessing unto you.
