The Unseen Battle

After reading a book this week I have realized that I have been in a boxing match blindfolded (so to speak). I have always been taught that we must fight our sin nature, the flesh, but I in my church there has never been much emphasis on battling Satan. For a while now Satan has been working against me and I haven' been fighting back. While there a lot of things that I have to deal with from within there are lot of things that I have credited to my flesh that should have been credited to the Enemy.
He has been using my circumstances, friends, and thoughts against me in many ways. After receiving this revelation that this battle for my heart is going on I now see that I role to play in this fight. I haven't been able to fight for while because I had not acknowledged that there was an Enemy to fight. I think a part of the reason why I didn't know this battle was going on was because of the kind of churches I have attended. Not all, but many churches in the suburbs are very hesitant to talk about the Holy Spirit and the things that go on in the spiritual realm around us that we do not see. However, now that I know that I am in the middle of spiritual warfare the reason for equipping myself with the Armor of God has been made clear.
From this day forward it is imperative that I embrace my role in battle and conduct myself as a soldier would.

First Of All

Why would anybody want to read my blog? I would like to think that I have something interesting to say, but I really don't. To anyone who does read my blog I hope that each message finds you well. I pray that God would speak through me into your life, as He uses people to speak into mine. I am a work in progress, and this is only the beginning.
