Spiritual Warfare #2

Charles Stanley gives us several ways we can uncover and defuse the landmines that have been laid out in our pathway. They are:

1. Realize you are in a spiritual war.
2. Trust God and know He will help you.

When you ask Him to reveal the enemy's landmines that are laid out before you, He will do it. He also will teach you how to disarm the ones that are set and ready to go off. Put on the full armor of God. Pray without ceasing.

3. Remember you are not alone. God wants us to remember that He is with us and will give us the wisdom we need for every situation if we will stop and pray. God has an answer for our every need. But far too often we become paralyzed by our circumstances because we do not call out to the Person who lives inside us.

4. Recall the strength, mercy, and goodness of God.

Tomorrow we'll look at chapter two, the landmine of pride.
