Are you winning the war?

You are in a war.

Like it or not, believe it or not, feel it or not, you and I are in a war. That is why Paul ends his letter to the Ephesians with the imagery of a soldier putting on his armor for battle.

You have an enemy.

The chief combatant you fight is not flesh and blood. Satan fights your worthy walk and he doesn't fight fair. You are not in a boxing ring with padded ropes, an impartial referee, clear agreed-to rules, and an opponent of the same weight. You are in an anything-goes, no-holds-barred street brawl where the winner takes all.

You can stand firm.

If you, by the Lord's strength, determine to put on Jesus Christ in every area of your life, you can stand firm against an implacable enemy regardless of what he throws at you.

Because you have armor.

In Christ you have all you need to walk worthy, and your choice to let him live in and through you is armor.

Winning the War to Walk Worthy, a devotional exposition of Paul's famed Christian armor passage in Ephesians 6:10-18, delves behind the imagery of the armor to the practical how-to of actually putting that armor on. Each chapter concludes with a "Battle Checklist" that encourages taking specific action, and Victory Lists at the end of the book will help you chart your wins in your war to walk worthy.
