THE WAR IS ON! In Our heads
THE WAR IS ON! fear But against the forces of darkness in the air Our struggle is not against flesh and blood Stress Eph 6:10 lust Failure
THE WAR IS ON! But against the spiritual forces in heavenlu places.. The enemy knows where your landmine areas are, the things that gets you into emotional conflict, then he just sets up things around you that will trigger those landmines. Then you are constantly out of rest en no threat to the devil. The battle is not against flesh and blood
PEACE IS OUR INHERITANCE Jesus’ plan is for us to live in an environment of peace. When we are out of peace we battle to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice. Stress cuts out our creative and problem solving faculties in our brains. It is therefore critically important to live in peace. Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

THE WAR IS ON! • 2Co 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. (4) For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. (5) We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, (6) being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
