In my line of ministry, as well as pastoring, I minister in the Prayer Center on the telephone. I really enjoy this ministry outreach.

One thing I have observed is the amount of people who are in “spiritual warfare”.

Ephesians 6:12 – “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” KJV

I know from scripture that the enemy, the devil, is responsible for our spiritual battles. But, let us look for a moment where our spiritual battle is.

1 Timothy 6:12 says, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hath professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

Notice the admonition is to fight the good fight of faith.

James 4:7 — “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

We don’t fight the devil — we resist him in the Name of Jesus.

Colossians 2:15 –“Jesus spoiled principalities and powers. He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” The Amplified Bible version of the same scripture is “[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].” AMP

This is powerful news! Again, fight the good fight of faith!

Hebrews 11:1 says: “Faith is the substance, (tangibility) of things hoped for, (anticipated), the evidence, (proof) of things not seen.”

Hebrews 11:6 — “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” KJV

Hebrews 10:23 — “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised.”

Hebrews 10:38 — “Now the just shall live by faith…” KJV

Romans 10:17 — “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” KJV

Romans 4:20 — “(Abraham) He was strong in faith, giving glory to God.”

In Romans 4:17 Abraham called those things that be not, as though they were. That is faith in action!

Ephesians 2:8 — “For by grace are you saved by faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” Our faith brings the grace of God to us.

I John 5:4 — “…this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith!”

Keep fighting the good fight of faith. Jesus paid the full price for our victorious life. The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you. Believe and receive!
