Advancing God’s Kingdom involves engaging in spiritual warfare. This post examines the reality of spiritual conflict and how believers can stand firm in God’s power.
The Reality of Spiritual Warfare
- A Spiritual Battle: Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers over this present darkness.”
- Victory in Christ: Colossians 2:15 declares that Jesus disarmed the powers of darkness through His death and resurrection.
Biblical Illustration: Jesus’ Temptation in the Wilderness
Jesus’ victory over Satan’s temptations (Matthew 4:1-11) demonstrates the power of God’s Word and the importance of standing firm in truth.
Application: Equipping for Battle
Believers are called to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-18) and engage in prayer, faith, and obedience to overcome spiritual challenges and advance the Kingdom.
