Overcoming Christian Spiritual Battles and Finding Inner Peace
We face spiritual battles on a personal level in the form of evil thoughts. We reject feelings of vengeance, arrogance, anger, and meaningless talking, yet they still come. The thoughts are not the sin; they are sin when they begin to take root. Spiritual battles come from the traditions of men, according to the Bible. To address these evil thoughts, we need to know that the Word of Jesus is the foundation of our spiritual life. It is not good enough to just read the Bible. We need to learn from what we read, live it, and keep Jesus and all that we do in our heart. We determine how "we walk in Christ." In the Law, people walked in the flesh with mandating the do's and don'ts. We no longer live under the Law as believers. This means we live in freedom from punishment, and we continue walking in Christ. In doing so, we no longer carelessly look toward the thoughts of the flesh. Our care is to unconditionally love all around us, leading people to Jesus, setting our sights on things that add to our ability to show the people of the earth the light.
