The Good Fight

Did you know we have God’s permission to fight? In fact, we are commanded to do so.  But before you go and punch your neighbor, boss or even friend and say “God told me to fight you” and start quoting Scriptures…let me add some clarity.  The fight I speak of does require us to fight something physically, but Ephesians 6:12 tells us the battle is spiritual.

I know you are thinking it’s impossible to fight a spiritual battle with anything physical, and that I contradicted myself.  But, notice I said we are required to fight something physically, not that we fight the spiritual battle physically.  The something that I’m referring to is comprised of many things. Things that  prevent us from being victorious in our spiritual battle. Things that put dents and holes in our armor, which causes us to be easy targets, easily wounded, and ultimately defeated by the enemy.
