A great encouragement for those of us that are in a real spiritual battle. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but the devil and his servants. We fight with the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, prayer, worship, professions of our faith based on the Word, the authority we have from the Lord for treading on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. We had a beaver recently destroying our property. He was caught in a snare which was wired to a barbed wire fence. He fought and fought till he finally broke the wire that was holding him and got free. I believe it was an object lesson to me to keep fighting "like the beaver. " And besides fighting, we need to take hold of eternal life. Jesus promised us an abundant life. He promised the water of life to whosoever wills rev 22:17 . If he promised it, I 'm taking it! He does not lie. We have to take hold if it by faith. The Lord said that since the days of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of God has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. We need to get violent in our fight of faith against the enemy! Praise the Lord!
