The Army operates in all types of weather, and soldiers must be always prepared – that’s why they can’t use umbrellas when they are on duty!

In times of peace, they prepare for war.

In a war, there is no time for emotions, love, family ties, sympathy or anything similar. There is no compassion – it’s either kill or be killed!

Would the battle for our salvation be any easier?

No, of course not!

On one side are Christians fighting against their desires, against the world and against the forces of evil in order to save their souls and remain saved. On the other side is the devil, using all available resources, such as lies, tricks, deceptions, and injustice in order to regain possession of the souls he lost. Add to that his allies: the media, the so-called “friends”, relatives, close friends, “brethren”, etc…

If Christians use any of the devil’s tactics against him, such as deception, lies, or works of the flesh, they will definitely lose the battle and, worst of all, their salvation!

In the battle against darkness we must walk in the Light, because when we walk in the Light darkness has to flee.

There is no truce in the battle for salvation. We know that evil never gives up trying, therefore, neither should we!

Let us watch and pray… At all times!

In our daily battle, the rule is, “Conquer or be conquered”!

That’s why the Lord says that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force (Matthew 11.12).
