The battleground has front lines and rear\nflanks. There are soldiers of Christ and backsliders gone AWOL. The Enemy has a\nstrategy, and he&#8217;s out to kill, maim, and wound. But God&#8217;s strategy is to\nadvance His kingdom and reclaim enemy territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As in any battle, the troops can get demoralized. That&#8217;s when you\nand I need to remember that when we signed up in the army of Christ, it was\nlike having radical heart surgery. In fact, a heart transplant. In Christ we\nhave died to the power of the Enemy over us, and we&#8217;ve been given victorious\nnew weapons of warfare in prayer and worship. God&#8217;s battle plan can&#8217;t fail, and\nthe medal of honor, for those who overcome, is holiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you are experiencing battle fatigue, please remember that your\nfight won&#8217;t go on forever. The spiritual warfare will soon be over. The end is\nin sight. And today&#8217;s verse, if anything, should encourage you in the battle\ndown here on earth, for eternity will be yours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>___________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The promise in Revelation 21:7 is that we shall inherit all of\nheaven and earth, God shall be our God and we will live as His children if&#8230;\nwe overcome. So please don&#8217;t shrink from the front lines if you feel the heat\nof the enemy artillery today. Stand strong in the Lord, the Captain of your\nsalvation, and you will overcome. <em>Lord, my battle is rugged and demanding, as it\nis for any good soldier, but the rewards are precious. The front lines are a\nrisky place to be, but the battle prize is worth it.
