Dear Families,

In our society today, we can definitely see that the enemy of our souls is alive and active. He is going about as a roaring lion (I Peter 5:8), seeking to steal, kill, and destroy everything in his path (John 10:10). Rather than sitting by idly, believers must engage the enemy or they will lose the spiritual battles they face!

In this Message of the Month, Pastor Gil Bates states, “We’re in a war, but we’re acting like we’re on vacation.” The spiritual forces of darkness are coming against the Christian home and family, and many believers are caught off guard. Using the example of Hezekiah’s preparations against Sennacherib, Gil Bates gives listeners some practical ways to prepare to withstand the attacks of the enemy.
