Reaction
A sure measure of our spiritual condition is found in how we deal with those who threaten or wrong us.
BATTLE READY: THE ENCOUNTER
Our issue is not with people. Sure, life is lived in the realm of humanity. In that realm, words are shared, and events are experienced. People will inflict pain, and most of the struggles usually have a person’s name attached. But…our real battles, the deep issues of our spiritual skirmishes, are not “against flesh and blood.” Here’s how Paul says it.
Surviving a Spiritual Slump
Has spiritual dryness staked a claim in your heart? Have you descended into a cave of depression that borders desperation and despair?
BATTLE READY: THE ENCOUNTER
We are in a battle, but not with other people. Our struggles with people and circumstances are real-life events and cause real-life problems. However, hiding behind every circumstance, there is a conspirator. Hiding behind every deception, there is a deceiver. Hiding behind every hurt, there is a hunter. Hiding behind every lie, there is the father of lies. Our clash is not with “flesh and blood.” We are in a spiritual battle.
