Yesterday morning, I was coming under some heavy warfare. The enemy was trying to get his lies in, there was doubt, and God felt far away. When I cried out to the Lord, He answered me and said:
"You need to realize that the battle for your salvation has already been won."
Awesome! When God said that, He gave me peace. It reminded me that He has power to save, and power to keep. Salvation is not a losing battle. Sanctification is not a losing battle. Our walk onward with the Lord is not a losing battle!
We are in a battle, yes, but we need to remember that we are on the side of the Victor. And He--Jesus--has already won the victory! All we need to do during times of trouble is cling to Him. All we need to do is cry out. That's how we battle, and that's how He breaks through any warfare. If we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us in response. So let's draw near to Him, flee from the devil, and experience peace even through out warfare!
Confirmed: There was a Christian song on the radio that I hadn't heard before....it was describing how we should be soldiers who know their orders--how we should be obedient soldiers in the body of Christ!
Confirmed: A few license plates about soldiers, GI's and standing firm. Yes, God is always speaking through license plates...
Confirmed: A friend posted the below quote on Facebook, courtesy of Francis Frangipane Ministries. I thought it was so fitting!

"The more peace you have during spiritual attack, the more truly you are walking in Christ’s victory. Remember, it is the God of peace who shall crush Satan beneath your feet shortly (Romans 16:20)"
He who is in us is able to overcome anything that is in the world. We need to position ourselves to overcome! We need to arrive in the knowing that Jesus has already done the fighting for us and came out of it victorious.
