The wilderness was training. Now the battle begins.

God has brought us into the Promise through Christ and empowered us with the Holy Spirit. But living in the Promise does not mean the absence of opposition. It means advancing the Kingdom.

Our enemy is not flesh and blood. The battle is spiritual. And the weapon is not force, revenge, or pride. It is love.

Jesus set the example by laying down His life, and He calls us to do the same. When we return love for evil, we disrupt the system of this world and advance the Kingdom of God.

This is what the wilderness prepared us for.

Be strong. Be courageous. Advance in love.
