When JJ and I began studying the book of beginnings—Genesis—we found ourselves lingering on one powerful phrase: “And God saw that it was good.”
We declared in that moment: “We step into the good of God!”
That “good” brought us into the light—the very light that God Himself called good.
For a long time, I thought of warfare as something reserved for only certain aspects of the Christian life.
“Christ has already paid the price,” I reasoned. “Do we really still need to fight?”
But then the Scripture says, “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God…” (2 Corinthians 10:4)
If God has given us weapons, then we’ve been called to war.
There is a war.
And it is staged by the enemy—daily.
Warfare must become a way of life.
As long as we live in this world, we will face battles—in our health, our marriages, our careers, our ministries.
And God is saying:
The light you need to live in cannot exist alongside darkness—you must war for it.
Every day, we must posture our hearts and ask:
“Lord, teach me how to war for the light I’m meant to walk in.”
And here’s what’s wild—God’s weapons don’t always look like swords and shouting.
Sometimes, warfare is found in the sound you make,
the silence you keep,
the forgiveness you give,
the songs you listen to,
the books you read,
the way you raise your children,
the movies you consume,
the decisions you make under pressure.
When you pray, study the Word, and worship,
God tailors every part of your life to fight back against the enemy’s strategy.
He doesn’t want us ignorant.
He wants us alert, standing at the gates—declaring war, even in moments that feel like peace.
Jesus is Light.
And we must take a posture to enter into that Light.
Stay Revived!
