Every human being is engaged in a war of the soul. It is said that in the fight for souls, there is no demilitarized zone. The Believer must recognize that he/she is vastly underpowered in his/her own strength to win this fight. However, God has provided the implements of an absolutely guaranteed victory, IF we will put them into place.
What are you up against today? Is it anxiety? Worry? Uncertainty? God has promised us a peace which surpasses even understanding (Philippians 4:7). What about depression? Anger? Hopelessness? God has provided for us “joy unspeakable and full of glory (1 Peter 1:8).” Fear? Loneliness? He has promised to never leave us (Heb 13:5)! Despair? Death? He said that from those who believed would flow streams of Living Water (John 7:38)!
But the enemy knows where our victory lies also. The strategy of the enemy is to undermine our fight of faith and draw us away from God’s Word (away from hearing ir, reading it, believing it, declaring it, obeying it), and our strategy must be to continue in the fight of faith and draw ever nearer to God’s Word so that as we face trials, temptations, and demonic attack, we will be prepared to overcome.

Excellent word. It is unfortunate that so many believers don’t understand the victory that is ours in Jesus Christ.
