#67: Stand Firm

We're going to have to change the way we think about the spiritual forces at work around us, Pastor Allen Jackson says. We've acted as if ignoring them would remove us from their influence. But that is a naïve and unhelpful response, because Satan rules a kingdom that flourishes in the midst of deception, lies, and partial truths. Jesus won the battle on the cross, and the victory is ours; but Satan has not been banished from this realm yet, so we're still on assignment to be salt and light in the midst of the conflict with the unseen forces of evil. Ours should not be a passive response of hiding in our homes and church buildings; we are called to actively and intentionally engage and resist the evil in our world. When we stand firm in our faith and make a difference for God's Kingdom, we are declaring the victory that is ours through the redemptive work of Jesus.
