Sanctification is not a pleasant stroll. We have to fight for our faith. Invest a few minutes of your time with the Fruit of the Vine podcast and your hosts Andrea and Ann Marie from the Charisma Podcast Network. Add to your wisdom about our Father’s renewing of each of us moment by moment through the rest of our lives.

We put on the new man and we are new wine in old wineskins, but we are not guaranteed peaceful moments into our future. The moment we’re saved is the moment the battle begins. The enemy of our souls puts each newly saved believer squarely on his radar. That enemy wants nothing more than to peel away anyone it can lay its cloven hooves upon and separate God’s children from their Father in heaven. 

And that is why we must fight for our faith.

 Pray all the time the way we’re taught in the Bible to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:16–18). But what is beyond that? Lift up in prayer every corner of your life’s foundation. Pray over your spouse, your children, your parents and siblings, your employer and your co-workers. Keep your fellow church members prayed up, believing for God’s promised grace and peace. In your prayers seek God’s Will and ask Him to unleash His Will everywhere through you. Know you are set free through Christ and charge forward in sanctified power toward God’s Will for your life.
