As individuals, it is imperative that we equip ourselves with the armor of God, as Christ has already bestowed upon us the victory through the utilization of these weapons. There will come moments when mankind finds themselves perplexed by God's intentions for us, requiring us to rely on God's impactful intervention in the course of time on our behalf. God still performs miracles by employing the natural forces of the universe and the free will of individuals to accomplish His purposes. In a metaphorical sense, we are warriors who possess the ability to pray for triumph over malevolent spiritual forces by invoking God's authority in the celestial realm. God manipulates the elements to fulfill His objectives. He seeks retribution for the righteous through weather patterns. Those who harbor wicked intentions and conspire against God's people will be thwarted in their endeavors. God, as a vengeful entity from Heaven, operates clandestinely, orchestrating events in preparation for His judgment of humanity through the intercession of the faithful. We can assume a position of strength by employing an offensive weapon. However, it is vital to acknowledge that we are not in control of God's avenging power; rather, He utilizes our prayers to demonstrate that He acts according to His own will. It is crucial to rely on Him for victory rather than taking matters into our own hands, striving for personal gain, succumbing to anxiety, or serving malevolent masters. God's goodness allows us to serve as instruments through which He vanquishes our adversaries. Witnessing His actions serves as a reminder that we should not adopt a defensive mindset, but rather recognize that we serve a formidable God who avenges the wicked. Though we may appear harmless, God is formidable.

The ways of God are vastly different from our own, as are His thoughts. This means that His methods and workings often contradict the ways of mankind. For instance, God chooses to empower a humble shepherd armed with only a sling to defeat an entire army of Philistines. He often brings His children to a state of powerlessness and insignificance in order to achieve His great salvations. We find ourselves surrounded by challenges from all directions, feeling isolated as we hold fast to our belief that God controls all things. Our understanding of God's principles shapes our path to victory. Unfortunately, many religious individuals are led astray by their own thoughts, prioritizing their own success over aligning with God's ways. Consequently, when they achieve success, they fall into the hands of their enemies, failing to recognize God's methods. In contrast, God chooses to fight His battles with those who are considered losers in this world - the weak, the helpless, the struggling saints who earnestly seek God's intervention. Many are driven by their innate desire for success and recognition, unable to accept the struggles they face. They strive for success, abandoning their loyalty to God's ways, and eventually becoming stubborn and unyielding in their beliefs. Unfortunately, this religious approach lacks true power and becomes a futile exercise. God, on the other hand, lowers mankind to a state of insignificance to demonstrate that He alone is deserving of glory. In His ways, it is more important for individuals to learn not to rely on themselves than to simply achieve victory. Thus, people are always faced with the challenge of trusting God amidst the constant presence of opposing forces. As a person matures in their faith, they will encounter more rejection, temptation, and significant victories, but also endure greater pain.
