When we do not follow the Lord and invite His anger, we are asking for trouble. God uses troubles to teach use spiritual warfare. The troubles that come into our lives because of our disobedience, are troubles that can teach us to fight the good fight of faith so that we can learn that God can give us victory over anything. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Other passages mentioned include: Ephesians 6:12 and 2 Timothy 4:7.
