Banner

Have you ever watched one of those movies set in BC times when two armies line up to do battle? They charge each other and engage in hand-to-hand combat. And I don’t know about you, but I often have a hard time figuring out who is who. Are the good guys winning or the bad guys winning?

Paul says that our struggles are not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces.

Remember, prayer is simply talking to God. Tell him about the battle you are in (temptation, doubt, fear, anxiety).

What banner do you hold high as you go into battle each day? If you hold the banner of self-sufficiency, independence or personal ambition, you will lose the battle every time. But if you hold high the name of the Lord, marching under his standard, he will give you the strength to defeat each foe.
