Babies Cannot Fight

What a relief to know that though I may know nothing in actual detail about the devil’s plans against me, yet in and through Christ I can defeat him on every count if my attitude is right! So I would urge the great importance of maintaining, as a principle, this attitude: that you are against the devil and against the materializing of his plans.

Of course, if you are a babe and cannot face the open battle, the Lord will protect you; He will answer the door to the assaults from hell. However, some are yet babes who should not be (Hebrews 5:12). If you move on into maturity and working partnership with Christ, you will assuredly discover yourself to be upon a battlefield. Then you will understand the meaning of these terms: “Be sober, be vigilant; because…”* (1 Peter 5:8); “Watch and pray, that…”* (Matthew 26:41); “though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh”* (2 Corinthians 10:3); we wrestle… stand… withstand… overcome.
