The Reality of Spiritual War

As I am in the midst of the greatest battle I have ever had to face, I have seen the realities of war in trying to take a city for Christ. I realize my weakness and frailty at the thought of the everyday grind of this war. Sometimes I stand back and watch the battle from a distance and think, "This is what I was destined and trained for!" Yet the everyday grind of being in the trenches, doing without, standing in the gap, placing our lives in peril, I say, "Lord, am I really cut out for this!" "Yes! I, we, must be willing to face this spiritual war assignment with unwavering boldness, not emotional resolve or a working up of our faith. We must have unwavering boldness or we wont last when the battle is bloody and muddy.
