I was listening to Great God (the Ohana Camp Theme Song composed by Pastor B), and the part of the song that really spoke to me was the pre-chorus "We will win for we fight FROM victory".
Indeed we will and we do! After Jesus died on the cross, He descended into Hades to get back the keys which Adam had surrended to Satan as a result of the original sin.
Now, when we engage in spiritual warfare with the forces of evil, it is different from a typical battle you would see between warring nations. In such battles, each side is attempting to fight FOR victory. In the case of us believers, we are fighting FROM victory because victory is already ours. The enemy has already been defeated by the finished work of Christ.
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the battle belongs to the LORD.
Paul tells us to put on the whole armour of God in Eph 6:10-18
* The belt of truth, which gird our loins from falsehoods* The breastplate of righteousness, which protects our hearts and assuries us of our position in Christ before God
* The shoes ready to share the gospel of peace with others
* The shield of faith to ward off the fiery darts of doubt
* The helmet of salvation, which protects our mind and reminds us of our eternal destiny
* The sword of the Spirit, which is the rhema word of God
* Praying in the Spirit, which is the only gift that can be activated by us at any time
When we go out to battle, we already know the outcome, because we fight FROM victory. Amen?
