Enduring Spiritual Warfareنموونە

RECOGNIZE YOU ARE MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE

Spiritual warfare often comes when we are about to make a dent for God's kingdom which brings glory to God.

If you are encountering spiritual warfare, know that God is using you, and you are making a difference. In fact, the greater the spiritual warfare likely means the greater the impact you are having for the kingdom.

My friend Jon Bloom shares in “Praying For Breakthrough” that “In war, a breakthrough only really matters if it occurs at a strategic location. And the evidence that a location is strategic is almost always revealed by the amount of enemy forces amassed to protect it. An enemy led by skilled generals plans to ferociously protect what it prizes highly. But we must keep in mind that strategic ground is not yielded easily. Whether we’re battling for breakthroughs against our own stubborn sin or the unbelief of a loved one or breakthroughs in the missional advance of our local church, reaching unreached peoples, rescuing persecuted believers, orphans, sex slaves, or the unborn, we are up against “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places”. We don’t know exactly what that means, except that these forces are very strong.

So if you are encountering spiritual warfare, recognize that you are making a real difference. 

You may be about to see a strategic breakthrough for the kingdom of God. You may be about to be used of God to bring freedom in people's lives. Keep going!
