Whether we are aware of it or not, the scriptures teach that every single Christian is in the midst of a very real and dangerous war. When God saves the repentant sinner, that newly redeemed saint is immediately drafted into the army of God. There is a cosmic battle taking place between the forces of Hell and the Kingdom of God. Many believers never embrace this reality, and therefore hinder the advance of the Kingdom in their generation. They also suffer unnecessary losses because they do not prepare for the battle into which they are daily thrust. This message exposes the organized strategy of Satan and his demons as they wage war on the Church of the living God. Because of their relentless warfare, the Christian must take up his/her battle gear, learn how to stand against the enemy, and then put that enemy to flight. Touching on core issues as the Christian's identity, authority and power in battle, this message gives a clarion call for all believers to stop engaging in friendly fire against each other, and to begin to release spiritual fire toward an enemy that God decrees has already been defeated.
