Yesterday's sermon was about the victory we experience as Christians. Although Joshua's victory was an actual battle our victories are spiritual (Ephesians 6:12). The truth is the same, if victory is to be ours it must come through the power of God who has promised to be with us (Hebrews 13:6) and through Him we are victors. I'm glad, as your Pastor, to see God's people living with victory in their daily lives.
Last night I warned several of those who were baptized to prepare for battle. The public witness of their desire to follow Christ is taken as a declaration of war by the devil. So soon the attack will begin, it may take the form of the material, physical, emotional, or even a combination of several ways to destroy their commitment to Christ. I encourage all who read this not only to be strong in your spiritual battles, but remember those who are fighting battles as well. We need one another as we live for our Lord Jesus. Let's pray for and encourage one another today. There is victory in Jesus.
