Spiritual Warfare

I seem to have a focus on spiritual warfare right now and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I'm seeing some of the demons people are fighting. Maybe it's because of some of the demons I think I'm fighting. The one thing I do know is that there is a battle and it comes in many forms. I heard a speaker the other night mention that we might be fighting the battle against drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography...and if we aren't fighting the battle against the "big" ones that are easy to see, maybe we are fighting it against pride or something we hide better.

Today, I know this. I am a broken sinner and the only way, the only way I'm going to win the battle is with God. I have trouble laying it all at his feet. I want to be in control, suggest ways I think the outcome would work best. I haven't figured out how to turn complete control over to God - yet- but I'm working on it.

The scary thing about the spiritual battle that is going on around us is that we cannot "see" it. I know the devil finds our weakness and keeps hitting it hard. My family (in Colorado) is getting pounded by the devil right now. The sad thing is that I don't think the people involved realize that it is the devil hurting them rather than the other person hurting them. The devil is crafty, and his forces will work hard to ruin good people and good things. If only it was easy to defeat the dark side!
