Are you ready for the battle you're already in? In this daily devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten opens up Colossians chapter 2 to reveal the intensity of the spiritual conflict every believer faces — whether they realize it or not.
You might be asking: Why does following Jesus sometimes feel like a struggle? Is spiritual warfare real and does it affect me personally? What does it look like to grow and mature in the faith? How do I keep going when the enemy feels like he's winning?
Pastor Roderick Webster draws from Ephesians 6:12, Colossians 1:29, and 2 Timothy 2:3-5 (KJV) to show us that this is not a battle against flesh and blood — it is a very real, very intense wrestling match against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places.
Key points from this devotion:
- The conflict Paul describes in Colossians 2 is serious, intense, and personal
- Every child of God is already in a spiritual battle whether they feel it or not
- You cannot afford to sit around — you must keep fighting and growing
- A good soldier, a good athlete, and a faithful husbandman are our models for endurance
- God gives strength to those who refuse to give up
