God is building up an army of soldiers who are engaging in spiritual warfare and setting the captives free. We are in a supernatural spiritual war between good and evil. I have learned the importance of the hard-fought freedom that comes with true deliverance, and I hope to share my experience and passion as I equip you in this powerful ministry.
It’s no secret that evil is raging against the human race. Not everything that happens on earth is a result of God’s divine decree. Sickness, death, tragedy and poverty are not part of His eternal plan. Our heavenly Father is good and desires to do only good. Not only is there no evil in Him, but He is at war with all evil.

Jesus, the Son of God, stepped into our realm to reveal His Father’s perfect will. He healed the sick, drove out demons, calmed the storms, fed the hungry, raised the dead and more. He was doing God’s will. Therefore, we should not be passive spectators of this war, for He has enlisted us into His army as active participants.
Sadly, many Christians today have embraced a vacation-based worldview in this time of battle. But those engaged in the battle understand the following truism: “it’s better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in war.”
God prepares you for public victories by taking you through private battles. Before God publicly used David to kill Goliath, He led him to face a lion and a bear in private (see 1 Sam. 17:34-37).
I suspect David was not overly fond of facing lions. I can imagine thoughts such as “Why am I being attacked?” and “Where is God in all of this?” must have crossed his mind. When David experienced an attack from a lion and saw his sheep disappear, he could have succumbed to defeat and self-pity. He had to make a decision not to live in regret because of his failure—losing a sheep—and instead choose to get up and fight to regain what the lion had stolen. David did not realize his private battles with lions and bears would one day give him the courage and determination to publicly confront the Philistine giant Goliath.
