There is a battle for your soul, and it is dangerous to fail to understand the enemy is always there. A target is on your back when you open your mouth and make a commitment. When our committedness or our attitude towards our commitment changes, we open up the door for the devil to pick us off. We must treat Christ as our fort, our place of resistance, and recognize that putting on the full armor of God means putting on Christ, who fortifies us from the inside. When we mess up, we need to get up again and learn from the last time. VF-2245 Ephesians 6:10-17

Like a skilled hunter, satan observes and considers us to make his most powerful attacks, to hinder us, to tempt us, and to take us as prey. But God has His hand on us. There is no reason why we should be under this kind of attack unless we have a part in God's kingdom. There is a battle for us, and we need to take spiritual inventory so we can see where the battle is. We cannot fight the devil in the flesh, but in unity with Christ. The battle is the Lord's. VF-2072 Ephesians 4:26 Ephesians 6:10-20

As Christians, we face spiritual warfare. We must put on the whole armor of God and be strong in the Lord, because our own strength is not enough to fight the devil. We are not immune from temptation, and we all struggle with problems we cannot seem to put behind us. We must yield ourselves to God and recognize He is the Master of our soul. He wants us to face the battle, and He equips us to fight the enemy. Ephesians 6 VF-2548

The prophecies of Zechariah are directed at the heart of the people. He called them to repentance and urged them to commit their heart to God. Throughout the book, we find revelations of the Messiah in both His first and second advent, with very specific details that unfold in the New Testament. There are so many things that we can glean from this book: not just that Christ is coming again, Christ is King, and that in Christ there is salvation, but also that there are consequences for a people who turn their back on God.

The book of Haggai speaks to those who returned from captivity to rebuild the temple, but they stopped and went to rebuild their own houses. They were told to put God first, tend to His house, and stop being self-serving. This book speaks to us today as well. God will enable us to take care of His house, and He will not abandon us if we put Him first in all things. VF-2554

Just before God brought the judgment of exile upon Judah, the people were profaning and desecrating His temple by worshiping unclean animals, Tammuz the Assyrian fertility god, and the sun inside of it. This was the last straw for God. This message is an overview of the book of Ezekiel. The whole book is needed to understand why God punished His people. Ezekiel VF-2553
