You open the book and discover that it contains all of the enemy\\u2019s key positions, strategies, weapons and plans of attack. Would you read that book? We are in a spiritual war, and this war is for our souls. But we have a book! This book contains everything we need to win the spiritual war. Through following Jesus Christ and obeying His Word, we can win the spiritual war.\\xa0
\\xa0Take Home Message: The spiritual war can only be won by following God\\u2019s marching orders.\\xa0
