We have enormous heavenly blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus, but every true believer soon realizes that we are living in a world in which we are engaged in war - not a conflict fought with fleshly weapons, sophisticated technology, cleverly devised battle strategies or procedures of war, but a conflict that is fought in the spiritual realm, and which requires a heavenly power from above - strength that is outside our human capacities - power that only comes from the Lord.
