OUR WAR PROBLEM

We may be at war with others and even within ourselves, but are we also at war with God?

There are three enemies of God: the world, the flesh, and Satan. If we are companions of any of these three, we are at war with God.

James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

We are not to be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).

God wants us to depend upon Him. Satan wants us to depend upon ourselves and be disobedient to God. When we are at odds with God, we are on the side of the devil. How do we overcome?

James 4:7,8  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

As sinners saved by grace, we must cleanse our hearts daily by making time somewhere in our day to humbly pray and read God's Word. 

God will either take you out of the war or go through it with you.
