Listen "We Are At War"
Episode Synopsis
We have three enemies bent on our destruction: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We are at war. Every day, we face battles that will test our faith, and reveal what we believe about who God is and who we are in Christ. These truths make God’s promise to be with us even more precious, and I can personally testify to seeing His glory even more through my hardest times.
The war in the spiritual realm began when creation rebelled against the Creator. We talked about how the Fallen angel Lucifer, also known as Satan, inhabited a Serpent and convinced Eve to disobey God, and then Adam followed suit. God pronounced a curse on all creation, but also promised that He would bring redemption through the seed of the woman. That seed is Jesus Christ, and He has the power to overcome Satan because He is fully man, and fully God. On the cross 2,000 years ago, Jesus paid the price for sin and offered salvation to all who believe. Before He took His final breath, He said, “It is finished.”
These three words are so powerful for anyone in the midst of a suffering season. We have an already-but-not yet, signed, sealed, and delivered victory over sin and death and hell in Jesus, who was raised on the third day and is seated on the throne of Heaven at the right hand of the Father.
But Satan has not yet been cast into hell. The fallen angels still run amok here on the earth, and we can see it all around us. Poverty, injustice, brutality, disease, greed, abuse, corruption, you name it. We find it hard to trust our neighbors, our governments, our own families, because sin is still present here on the earth and the influence of Satan still rages on.
The Scriptures call believers in Christ not to take a passive role in the spiritual war, but to take an active role. We are called to trust in God, to abide in Him, and to take up our weapons and fight. What weapons? Not swords. Not guns. Not fists.
