Sunday Evening Service – 11/3/24
Spiritual warfare is something that nearly all Christians encounter sooner or later, whether as individuals or collectively as a church body. It often arises in times of growth or significant spiritual impact, especially when believers or churches are advancing the cause of Christ in meaningful ways. When we push back darkness, we can expect opposition.
In a deeply moving message, Pastor Israel Bachew shares insights from James 4:7 on how we should approach these battles. He reminds us that the first and most crucial step is to submit ourselves fully to God. Submission is not merely a passive surrender but an active alignment with God’s will, positioning ourselves under His authority and guidance. Pastor Israel emphasizes that true victory in spiritual warfare doesn’t come from our own strength or willpower but from relying entirely on the Holy Spirit.
This message challenges us to examine our approach to spiritual warfare: Are we striving in our own strength, or are we yielding to God and allowing His Spirit to empower us?
