With Strength of Spirit

You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you;
those who war against you will be as nothing,
as a non-existent thing.
This is not because God cursed and destroyed them.
Because you were first born again and grew by the Word,
the enemies who trouble God’s children have, of themselves,
fallen through their own sin.
So, as a believer, you must stand firm on the Word,
and not strike the enemy in the flesh
but overcome Satan by strength of spirit.
