A long time ago, Adam lost a battle. He was taken captive by evil king Satan. As with any conquered nation, Adam's children remained citizens of the kingdom of Satan. Satan isn't a good king. When Adam sinned, he became a slave of Satan because of a spiritual principle: Whoever you yield yourself as slave to obey, that's whose slave you are, and the son of a slave is a slave unless someone sets the slave free. Someone must redeem the slave or the slave remains a slave (1 Peter 1:18 -23). That's why Jesus came, lived a perfect life never disobeying the Father and never obeying Satan, died on the cross for our sin, rose again from the dead, and He ascended into heaven. That is why He comes and lives in our hearts if we are willing to accept Him. What a wonderful salvation!
We are involved in a war, and a lot of people don't even know it. This is as spiritual war and the weapons of our warfare are spiritual (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). It is the war between the truth and the many lies. It is the war between the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh on the one side, and God, the Church, and the living Christ or ministry within us on the other side. In our spirits, we have been set free, but their is a battle for our souls. Jesus told Pilot that anyone who is on the side of truth listens to Him.
