Publisher Description
Your battle is real, but Jesus has won the war
What you believe determines how well you'll fight. Your understanding of who God is and who you are in His Kingdom makes all the difference when the enemy attacks, whether he's coming after your health, your finances, your relationships, or anything else. And though it sometimes seems like the enemy is winning the day, God Himself will have the final word.
Strong in Battle is about how to gain victory in your hardships and overcome obstacles you face in this life. God is training your hands for battle and your dependence on Him is your superpower, leading to better discernment and more power, wisdom, and authority. Intimacy with God will lead to love overcoming fear, which will help you fight with more courage, joy, and strength.
The battle is real; you're not imagining it. And this book's practical battle strategies will help you arise victorious with a stronger sense of who you are and what you possess through Jesus Christ. So fear not--you're on the winning side.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This contemplative volume by radio talk show host Larson (May His Face Shine upon You) offers advice on how to remain steadfast in one's faith. Cautioning against the evils of Satan, Larson draws on the Bible and personal anecdotes to explore the qualities that will help Christians prevail in their personal spiritual battles. Chief among these qualities is humility, Larson contends, and she provides humbleness-enhancing exercises that include confiding one's troubles in "someone who has the kind of faith you need right now" and contemplating passages from Ephesians and Isaiah. Larson counsels readers to "stay dependent" on God, recounting how she woke up one night seized by a conviction that her adult son was in danger only to realize she had let fear overtake her faith in God's ability to keep her family safe. The author suggests staying alert to the influences of Satan in one's life, which may manifest as complacency or excessive self-righteousness. Christians will appreciate the focus on prayer and the bounty of prayer prompts, including such meditations as "Whom do I need to forgive?" and "What in me still needs to heal?" This makes for a solid Bible study companion.
