“Anticipate your battles;
fight them on your knees
before temptation comes,
and you will always have victory.”
R. A. Torrey (1856-1928)
Cut the enemy off . . . at your knees.

I KEEP IT SHORT & SIMPLE.
Why?Almost half of American adults read below high school level. God looks at your heart, not your reading skills. Big faith can be built on simple words.

If you choose to do things right
and properly prepare,
then you’re bound to win the fight
for it will not be fair.
The idea is to crush the foe
with overwhelming force
so that he shall in future know
not to try this course.
War’s not a game for gentlemen,
but rather sport of knaves
who nonetheless have wit to ken
that ‘decisive’ always saves
more of friend and foe who issue forth,
beloved of those who gave them birth.
The Bible has lots of descriptors for Satan. “Gentleman” isn’t one of them. He doesn’t fight fair. But we “do things right and properly prepare” when we go to God for our weapons.
Well and elegantly said!
