Weapons of WarfareWhen Jesus first set me free, the Enemy would often tempt me to slip back into my old way of thinking, my old sin patterns. Because Satan had dealt with me so much in the past, he knew which buttons to push. His efforts would wear me down, and I would feel weak and defeated. But I began to learn that God has provided me with weapons of warfare. I am not left alone to fight the forces of evil; God has equipped me for battle. Satan used to sneak up behind me and say, “Go ahead. Watch that show or listen to that music or think that perverted thought.” But God provided me with the weaponry of a new nature, and I learned to respond, “To watch that show or listen to that music or think that thought is contrary to my new nature. That is not who I am!” The process of learning about my new nature begins with learning about the nature of God, for it is his image that we reflect. When we learn who God is, we discover life-changing truths about ourselves.A second weapon God has provided us with is relationship with Jesus. I love his written Word, but I do not have a relationship with a book! I have a relationship with the living Word of God—Jesus Christ! (see Rev. 19:13). We are not alone! He goes through the temptations and the trials and the tragedies with us!
