Did You Wake Up Ready For War?

Nov 16, 2025    Pastor Kevin Lawson

What if every morning when we open our eyes, we're stepping onto a battlefield we didn't even know existed? This powerful message reveals a sobering truth: we are in a spiritual war whether we realize it or not. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and Luke 10, we're reminded that Satan fell from heaven like lightning, taking a third of the angels with him, and this cosmic conflict continues to rage around us. The Apostle Paul makes it clear—our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness. Yet here's the beautiful paradox: while the enemy seeks to destroy us, God has equipped us with everything we need for victory. The full armor of God stands ready for us to wear. The enemy doesn't love us; he wants to discourage us so much that we'll stop sharing the gospel and give up on our faith. But we're reminded that in the end, God wins. We're not fighting for victory—we're fighting from victory. The war has already been won on the cross, and we simply need to wake up each day ready to stand firm in that truth. This isn't meant to frighten us but to awaken us to our incredible value in God's eyes—we're so precious that heaven fights for us.
