Your Soul Is At War

The scripture from 1 Peter 2:11 warns us to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against our very souls. This isn't just about external battles, but an internal struggle within our mind, will, and emotions. We're challenged to recognize that while our spirit is secure in Christ, our soul is vulnerable to attack. The enemy can't take our salvation, but he can make us ineffective witnesses. To counter this, we must be strategic in our spiritual warfare, carefully choosing our influences and guarding our thoughts. The message encourages us to use the power of our words, speaking truth and life to combat negative thoughts and strongholds. By doing so, we can take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ, as 2 Corinthians 10:5 instructs. This teaching invites us to examine our spiritual health and take active steps in winning the war for our souls.
