As we walk into the new year, I have a sobering message about the spiritual warfare that we face. It won’t surprise any of you to hear me say that the Christian life is a fight. Whether you’re a new believer or you have been walking with God for a long time, you have likely experienced spiritual warfare.
During a recent reading of Ephesians, I noticed four distinct actions or postures that God asks us to take in spiritual warfare:
- Sit
- Bow
- Walk
- Stand
Though our journey starts with God “seating us in the heavenly places,” it quickly moves to our response. Walking in faith often leads to a fight, but God tells us to stand firm. More on what that means in today’s message.
