Sept 27 | Battle Cry — Part 2: This Is How We Fight
We are in a spiritual battle—but if we don’t understand how God has called us to fight, we may end up fighting the wrong enemy with the wrong weapons.
Scripture tells us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood and that the weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of this world. So how do followers of Jesus actually fight?
We pray. We love. We engage.
We fight against the enemy, but for people. We confront the broken systems and structures of this world without treating the people caught within them as our enemies. And we fight for our own hearts and minds, taking captive the thoughts that would pull us away from Christ.
The Church was never called to retreat from the battlefield—but neither were we called to fight like the world fights.
This is how we fight: on our knees, with love in our hearts, and courageously engaged with the world around us.
