Life is a battle.  In all we do, one way or another, we struggle for
the better.  The most important battle of all is spiritual warfare.
It began with the original rebellion in the heavenly realms and
Satan's fall.  Spiritual warfare is happening all the time.  There
is a constant struggle between flesh and spirit, and good and evil.
Among the weapons are faith and prayer.  The spiritual war can be
affected by witnessing in various mediums.  We don't usually see the
front line battles--that is demons or angels in combat.  Christians,
however, do experience the conflict on a regular basis in enemy
territory.  Sometimes, I feel like giving up, but we all must strive
towards the Victory through Jesus Christ.  Sometimes the most
effective battle is fought on the "homefront"--person to person talk.
Wherever the battle is fought, we must stand firm and keep the faith.
