The Christian Warrior: Prepared for Spiritual Battle

Introduction In today's world, we often hear about physical battles and wars, but there's another kind of warfare that's just as real and even more important: spiritual warfare. As Christians, we're called to be soldiers in this spiritual battle. The Apostle Paul reminds us in II Timothy 2:3-4 (KJV), "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." Every day, whether we realize it or not, we're in the middle of a spiritual struggle. The devil, our enemy, is constantly trying to pull us away from God. His goal?
