Spiritual battles are just like natural battles. Nations do not engage in warfare constantly; they fight when a problem comes along. Afterwards, their soldiers return home, experience a time of peace and refreshing, and do not fight again until there's a reason to fight. This book is not designed to make you run around looking for the devil; it is designed to help equip you so that when battles do come, you will be prepared to stand against them. Battles will come, but they won't come every day. God has given us this weaponry so that when they do come, you will be prepared to maintain your victorious position over Satan.
