But I Don't Want To Fight

By Donald Porter, Jr.

Although we approach the spiritual battles and wars using various battle plans, God knows our every need, and, ultimately, the utilization of the necessary tools to gain victory is our decision to make. God in His infinite wisdom allows the battles to rage with a victory as the expected result. The battles, wars, victories, and sometimes failures are designed to bring us forth more pure than gold. God is the Great Promise Keeper and owes no man anything. He will offer victory at the end of the trial; however, we must be willing to comply with His battle plan.

Abstract

ALTHOUGH WE APPROACH the battles and wars using various battle plans, God knows our every need, and, ultimately, the utilization of the necessary tools to gain victory is our decision to make. God in His infinite wisdom allows the battles to rage with a victory as the expected result. The battles, wars, victories, and sometimes failures are designed to bring us forth purer than gold.

Introduction

Ephesians 6:12 tells us, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

IT IS A FACT AND EVIDENCE of salvation that spiritual warfare must rage in a Christian's life. Pleasant the warfare is not—but necessary it is!

The wickedness that is both physical and spiritual is not to be toyed with but approached with the leadership from the Captain of our Salvation. According to Ephesians 6:13 victory is available if we follow God’s battle plan. "Wherefore
