A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil? Gilead was the father of Jephthah. See NAS 2 Kings Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
See NIV 1 Chronicles And Zadok, a young man, great and strong in war, with twenty-two captains from his father's people. See NIV 2 Chronicles And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria.
So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
I have exalted a young man from the people. See NIV Isaiah The mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder; See NAS NIV Isaiah For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
See NAS NIV Isaiah Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out. See RSV Jeremiah Why are you like a man surprised, like a man of war who is not able to give help? See NIV Jeremiah But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one and a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
See RSV Jeremiah The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.

As the Church of the living God, we are a spiritual army. And we are at war—engaged in spiritual warfare!
Every good soldier will study his enemy to determine his strengths and weaknesses. And to be able to defeat the enemy, he must know how to deftly use, with overwhelming force, the weapons at his disposal. Every true Christian faces the same three enemies. These mighty foes are in league against us. They are crafty, cunning and lurking about, ready to attack at every opportunity. They seek to confuse and overwhelm us and wear us down.
Their ultimate goal is to murder us, to take away eternal life. These three enemies are self , society and Satan. We will have to battle them for the rest of our physical lives.
Every ounce of energy and effort must be put forth to gain victory over them. As II Corinthians shows, as long as we are in the flesh, we will have to battle our carnal human nature. The natural mind is a stronghold against God.
It does not want to be conquered; it does not want to submit to the will of God. Carnal nature is the enemy of God, and is even against the very knowledge of God. It wants—and will try—to destroy you Rom. The self wants to do its own things and think its own thoughts.
It will cleverly rationalize all it wants to do. By doing this, it can cut us off from God Isa. Unless we successfully wage and win the war against the self—striving to resist its impulses leading to sin—our human nature will destroy us.
There is an ongoing battle for control of your mind—a battle that you must win at all costs! The second deadly enemy of all Christians is this present evil age—the society that surrounds us Gal. All it has to offer looks very appealing, alluring and glamorous.
It brims over with the latest electronic gadgets, trendy clothing, fast cars, endless movies, music, shopping malls, dance clubs, pleasures, thrills, excitement, and on and on.
This world appears to be wrapped with everything that glitters and is gold. It appeals to the five senses. And because it is built upon and motivated by the products of human nature—vanity, lust, greed, etc. We learned to celebrate its holidays. We easily accepted without question the lifestyles of the world we grew up in. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
We must overcome and reject every way that is contrary to the Christian walk. Conforming to the world is not warring against it! The world hates us because we are different from it—not of it John , Yes, we live in the world, but we cannot be a part of it.
We must fight against its pulls like a soldier on an obstacle course, which strengthens and challenges him. A Christian must handle the obstacles of a society full of snares, barbed wire and land mines. The third great enemy of all Christians is Satan the devil. Satan has so completely deceived the world that it is in doubt of his very existence.
He is clever, cruel, relentless and experienced. He never grows tired. Nor does he suffer from battle fatigue. He constantly broadcasts attitudes of doubt, despondency, depression and negative feelings.
Most of all, he seeks to overcome and overwhelm those who have the Holy Spirit. He wants the people of God to doubt, be depressed, be hostile to authority, and be filled with bitterness, resentment and criticism against the ministry and each other.
Acting swiftly, at our most inopportune time—when we least expect it—Satan will exploit and intensify every rationalizing excuse and compromising twist of our carnal mind.
He will poke and probe for weaknesses—anything he can use against us, anything that will appeal to human nature. And he does not work alone. The devil has a whole army of demons that he enlists in his effort against us. Though Satan is a cunning, brilliant and relentless adversary, we can —and must —defeat him.
We are not alone in our daily Christian warfare. As a spiritual army, we have the greatest Commander-in-Chief possible—God the Father. He has called us—drafted us—into His army to fight against our three great enemies. He has not left us defenseless, unable to fight against our foes. He has given us the most powerful force in the universe, His Spirit, which is available to us at all times.
Since the time we became Christian soldiers at baptism, we have been infused with it.
