If you live as the world lives, then youll not be bothered with persecution; you are virtually a prisoner of war. It is the soldiers under fire who are free and fighting to take enemy territory. Yet the reality is, we live in a world that is completely contrary and even hostile to the kingdom of God. So, dear friend, if you are truly living for the Lord, you will suffer resistance in your life in Christ. You must be prepared. You must, as Peter put it, arm yourself. ... Paul was armed to suffer. He was armed to fight to victory and to come out better and stronger than before he entered the battle. We too are armed when we are firmly optimistic in heart and mind regarding hardship—optimistic before, during and after the fight. We can take on a positive attitude because we no longer see tests and trials as obstacles; we see them as opportunities! Just sayn.... Love me some John Bevere!!! charismamag/spirit/spiritual-warfare/14831-armed-for-the-assauit
