Armed & Dangerous

The Late Walter Hawkins mentions in his song that "There's a war going on and if you're gonna win, so you better make sure that you have Jesus deep down within. This battle cannot be won with bullets and guns. For the enemy you cannot see with human faculties. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against the rulers of darkness, against spiritual wickedness in high places. It's a fact that Satan's on your track and without any warning, he'll launch his attack. So, you better make sure that you know that wherever you may go that you have the Sword, which is the Word of God deep down in your soul. We need the armour. We need the armour of the Lord" (Walter Hawkins, Love Alive III, 1984).
This spiritual war has been waging since the fall of mankind. While living in The Garden of Eden, the serpent or Satan approached Eve and persuaded her to disobey God by eating from the Tree of Knowledge. And the Lord commanded the man, "you are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it, you will certainly die" (Genesis 2:16-17). The Lord provides a tangible manual or guidebook called The Bible, for Born-Again Believers to conduct persuasive spiritual warfare in defeating the enemy. As you read this book, you will learn about spiritual warfare and its origin, the seven parts of the spiritual armour, and how to effectively conduct spiritual warfare. In all these things-----battles, tribulations, challenges, stressors, hardships, attacks) through Christ, you are more than a conqueror because of His love (Romans 8:37). It is our God's desire for His children to live victoriously in every area of their lives. God bless you.
