We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We need something not of this world for spiritual combat, but something according to 2 Corinthians 10:4 that is “divinely powerful.” It’s the final piece of spiritual armor from Ephesians 6. It’s the only offensive weapon in the listing. It’s “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Eph. 6:17). Since Satan is the “father of lies” (Jn. 8:44) we combat his deception with truth. What is truth? As Jesus said, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth” (Jn. 17:17). Let me be very clear, following the example of Jesus when He confronted Satan in the wilderness (Mt. 4:1-11), our primary weapon in spiritual warfare is the Bible.

The evil in our desires often lies not in what we want but in the fact that we want it too much. Natural affections (for any good thing) become inordinate, ruling cravings. We are meant to be ruled by godly passions and desires. Natural desires for good things are meant to exist subordinate to our desire to please the Giver of gifts. Grasping that the evil lies in the ruling status of the desire, not the object, is frequently a turning point in self-understanding, in seeing the need for Christ’s mercies, and in changing.
