Introduction to the Week of Months Series
As I spent time with God each day over a period of months, it transformed my understanding of the reality of God through experience. Being older, God and I go back a ways. While my ability to stay focused has been challenged, God as always has stayed the course of being a loving Father. And there have been numerous miracles. When I started my family lived in a one room efficiency apartment. Today we have a house in the country on three acres we are buying, paying little more than for that apartment! My daughter was deathly allergic to peanuts. Suddenly, that was gone, and now her favorite sandwich is peanut butter and jelly. While this may not sound like much to us adults, it was a big deal to a 10 year old. And the list goes on. Please do not take this wrong and think that somehow by some formula you will be able to get God to move on your behalf. The point is He already is and wants to be, and if we can connect and plug in to what He is doing, then we experience life as God meant it to be, based on an opportunity to walk down that path with me. God has a pattern to His creation we can discover in our walk with Him.
Introduction to Daily Devotional: Spiritual Warfare
I recorded a portion of what occurred on my daily devotional journey, and that is the book you are now reading. This book is the fourth book in the series, “Week of Months”, and was written over that period of months by spending time with God each day. Each day had a different theme to it. Having previously written “Daily Devotional: Heart of the Nation” from prayers and visions I had experienced, it occurred to me that others may benefit from having a pattern of daily prayer to follow.
Warfare seems to be a topic that is all around us these days, regardless of where we live. It is a sad thing that on earth we still experience the struggles of man against man, and I believe we all long for the day when it ends and there is no more war on earth. However, there is another and even more deadly warfare that is raging all around us, and yet many times we can be unaware that it is even happening. That is warfare that threatens all believers and in which we are all involved, Spiritual Warfare.
Many things have been written about Spiritual Warfare. The scriptures tell us plainly that the enemy and his minions are out to kill, steal and destroy us. But there is a great hope for us as believers - Jesus . He has already destroyed our enemy. God will battle for us when the battle rages if we will call out to Him. He protects us from the battles and the raging fires that our enemy tries to wage against us. He delivers us and scatters our enemies because that is who God, our God, is.
The image on the cover of this book shows a brave firefighter waging war against a raging fire. That must be a tough place to be. Our lives can be that way too. We are in a battle against the arrows and firebrands of our enemy. But God delivers us from them all. As you look at this image and think about the fire storms in your own life, it is my hope that the image and the words that follow will cause you to understand the seriousness of this battle, and that the time you spend with God will also cause You to know that we have already won if we will call upon His name, for He alone is God and our defense against the battle in Spiritual Warfare.
To God be the glory!
