King James Version
127 Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it:
except the Lord keep the city,
the watchman waketh but in vain.
Our souls are constantly under attack.
Many don't even know it.
Many are in denial.
Some don't care.
But once you're born again, you know the threat is real.
You are alerted to it by SPIRIT, and Scripture.
You know your greatest help is JESUS.
Evil is mighty scared of JESUS.
James 2:19
King James Version
19 Thou believest that there is one God;
thou doest well:
the devils also believe,
and tremble.
Know we are attacked on ALL fronts.
Consider it constant ambush.
1 Peter 5:8-9
King James Version
8 Be sober,
be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.
You only need to look at the state of the world, and you'll realize that.
You only need to look at the chaos and confusion, and you know "attacks" are real.
You only need to see the evil in man, and know you are not imagining things.
The attacks we speak of are "supernatural".
There is a spirit behind war.
There is also a spirit of infirmity.
That's why we're in a "spiritual battle".
Know the enemy.
Know how to protect yourself.
