Do the words “spiritual war” clash with your sensibilities? I am calling you to enlist in my army and leave spiritual pacifism aside, for your enemy, though defeated, still prowls around seeking to destroy.
Don’t hide when you hear this call again but wrestle with my words and address your preconceived ideas and thoughts.
I ask again, “Who is on MY side?”
1 Peter 5:8-9 NIVUK
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same sufferings.
2 Corinthians 10:5 NIVUK
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
