or 2 Chronicles 20:17 (c) This is a splendid illustration of the provision GOD has made to meet all our need in this life. He would have us trust Him daily for daily needs, and for salvation from daily troubles. At Kadesh-Barnea, Israel refused to permit the Lord to become their Captain and to fight their battles. So they were made to wander in the wilderness thirty-eight years. We too will find it necessary to wander in defeat unless we permit Him to fight the battle for us.
Acts 5:39 (a) This figure is used to describe the persecution of GOD's people by their enemies, and the refusal of these enemies to bow to GOD's Word through the teaching of CHRIST and His disciples. (See also Acts 23:9). Fighting GOD's people is fighting GOD. (See Matthew 25:45).
1 Corinthians 9:26 (a) By this strong word, Paul describes his resistance to sin, to Satan and to the world. Paul had strong convictions about living a holy and godly life. He would battle with Satan, and in every possible way win the victory through CHRIST.
1 Timothy 6:12 (a) The figure is used here to describe the firm stand that Christians should take for that which is right, and that which is true. We are to uphold the Gospel. We are to stand against the attacks of the world, the flesh and the Devil at every opportunity.
