Living Watchful
From Watchman Writings — preserved by Soldiers for Christ.
Ephesians 6:11-12 (NKJV): "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Colossians 2:15 (NKJV): "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it."
Spiritual warfare is real, but Christ is Lord. Believers do not stand in panic; we stand in His finished victory, clothed in truth, righteousness, faith, and prayer.
Scripture warns us about deception while also commanding steady holiness and obedience (See glossary: Holiness, Watchfulness).
James 4:7 (NKJV): "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
Call to watchfulness: Keep close to Christ, resist sin, and strengthen one another in prayer. The gospel remains our message: Jesus saves, delivers, and keeps His people.
