Spiritual warfare, as the name implies, is not against flesh and blood. It is in the realm we are being called to as salvation in this present time.
There are 2 levels of warfare for the would-be saint.
There is the personal battle...and the war to win the world for Christ.
What is little known, or so it seems, is that as we lay down our lives for the bigger battle....the little battles take care of themselves. As we get our eyes off of ourselves this tends to take care of the personal battles...which pop up when we are unoccupied with the things of God. So then focusing on the battles for the Lord causes the personal battles to diminish in a significant way. Of course the enemy, as he feels threatened in his kingdom, will seek to attack a saint personally. But this kind of attack is not the generic difficulty that so many have in their personal walks.
So many believers get bogged down with their own desires for this world...that they have no need of specific attacks against them in order to neutralize them.
So then we are to be soldiers of Christ....soldiers ready to lay down their lives for Christ and His kingdom.
But these soldiers need a fighting spirit.
