Living in Increase (Part 10) - Increase in Awarenessنموونە

The Lord is Faithful

Hopefully, by now, you have a good understanding of spiritual warfare. I pray you know you have a real enemy and have been equipped through God’s Word to fight against him. However, I want to wrap up this week by discussing God’s power.

We’ve discussed spiritual warfare against the enemy this week, which can be exhausting. Honestly, I hate giving the enemy this much attention, but understanding who we’re fighting is a necessary part of spiritual warfare. Still, when we learn about spiritual warfare, our focus should not be entirely on the enemy but on God.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 says that “the Lord is faithful; He will strengthen [us] and guard [us] from the evil one.” What does this mean? It means that while we have a role to play in spiritual warfare, ultimately, the battle belongs to God (2 Chronicles 20:15). As we fight the enemy through prayer, worship, and Scripture, we must keep our eyes on God. He is the one who strengthens us and keeps us safe from the enemy, and He is the one who provides victory!

Remember that God is in control as you continue to grow in spiritual warfare and awareness. As you focus on Him and His might, you will be strengthened to fight against the enemy!
