Fighting Your Demons

Philippians 4:13: I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Welcome back to another inspirational moment from historical Christian romance novels.

I can remember the first time someone explained to me that there were battles raging in the spiritual world for our souls. My mind conjured up this epic battlefield where angels and demons fought with swords. Although I have no doubt this happens, as an adult I’ve learned that the spiritual battle is fought on our knees.

In the novel To Tame a Cowboy Brody learns how to fight his demons.

He’d been fighting his demons with his fists, letting his anger get the best of him. And after every fight, he walked away feeling worse inside, knowing a better man wouldn’t jump into a brawl and hurt people every chance he got. (p. 120 To Tame a Cowboy by Jody

Hedlund)

Have you been where Brody was? We live in the physical world and it’s easy to fall into dealing with our demons using things of this world like fighting, alcohol, drugs, food, entertainment. This list could go on and on, but we’ve all seen how using the things of this world to fight our demons leads to further destruction and carries us away from the one who can save us.

Meeting God on our knees allows him to work his good and perfect will through us. 1 John 4:4 says You dear children are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

I will leave you with this final thought: Demons are fought on the spiritual battlefield and God never loses!
