12. The Importance of Balance in Warfare
As we seek to engage in spiritual warfare, we
must be very careful to walk in balance. Too much
of anything can have a negative effect on the
believer. An overemphasis on spiritual warfare
has the potential of having a negative effect on
people. An underemphasis on spiritual warfare
has the potential of having devastating effects. We
must find a healthy balance…

13. The Importance of Balance in Warfare-cont.
Somewhere in the middle. It is important to
remember that spiritual warfare is just ONE of
many elements in the life of the Christian believer.
Our focus in our walk should be on the Lord and
not on diabolical forces that seek to deter us in
our quest to be conformed into His image. In
order to stay a step ahead, we must remember
that balance is key.
