Kingdom Come | Week 3

The battle for your life is more real than you think.

This weekend we dove deep into a truth that our culture desperately tries to ignore: there is a spiritual war happening all around us, every single day. Not just on Sundays. Not just when things get hard. Every. Single. Day.

Here's what I need you to understand: you didn't choose to be in this battle. You're already in it. The only choice you have is which side you're on.

We looked at the story in Mark 5 where a demon-possessed man, so powerful he broke chains and terrified everyone around him, fell to his knees the moment he saw Jesus from a distance. That's the power of the name we serve.

But here's the reality check: our enemy isn't playing games. Demons desire to inflict suffering. They scheme to lure you away from God. They want your marriage. Your kids. Your peace. Your purpose. And if we're just casually living our lives, paying bills, managing calendars, completely oblivious to the spiritual reality around us, we're losing ground we don't even know we're giving up.

The good news? Jesus wins this war. And you can be on His side.

But we can't play at faith. We can't flirt with darkness and expect to walk in light. We can't treat our enemy lightly while expecting God's protection. The demons know who belongs to Jesus and who's just playing church.

James 4:7 gives us the battle plan: Submit to God. Resist the devil. And he WILL flee from you.

Your spouse isn't your enemy. Your boss isn't your enemy. Your annoying neighbor isn't your enemy. There are real enemies, and they're spiritual. And the more we remember that truth, the more we fight the right battles.

If you missed this message, catch it online. And please, PLEASE be here next week when Pastor David Nelms from Timothy Initiative shares firsthand accounts of spiritual warfare from around the world. This man has seen things that will remind us all that the invisible world is more real than the visible one.

The battle is real. But so is our victory in Christ.
