There is power in your obedience to God.

In spiritual warfare, people usually think of demon possession, miracles, healings, and angels and demons fighting in a cloud over our heads. While spiritual war is a reality, that's a very narrow understanding of what spiritual warfare is.

Everything we do in life participates in spiritual warfare, and our obedience to God is our greatest weapon in that battle. When we are operating in obedience to God, we find ourselves secure behind God's borders, with the fullness of His kingdom backing us. But when we choose our own path and disregard obedience to God, we find ourselves stuck behind the borders of the kingdom of darkness and vulnerable to everything that the evil kingdom has to throw at us.

Check out this timely message from Pastor Joey as we dive into week 2 of our series, "In the Trenches."

We are all engaged in a war, and it isn't waged with human weapons. There is a spiritual battle taking place every day, and we are in the trenches. The apostle Paul tells us that he continues to strive every day until he can attain the prize God has for him in Christ Jesus. He does not simply participate in life, he strives to win.

By the power of the Holy Spirit, we fight the powers of darkness and the devil, and we fight to win. We fight for our families, we fight for our spouses, and we fight for our future.
