I think we've had so much liberty and so much opportunity that we have the

mistaken idea that the rest of the world lives with those things.

And I believe one of the reasons we've been given them isn't just to enjoy them for ourselves and our families.

I don't think that's wrong, but that we might be salt and light on behalf of the rest of the world.

We can't be the world's police force, but if we're willing to stand for what is right, and we take our liberties and freedoms

and use them for righteousness and godliness and holiness.

It becomes a force for good in the world. You're listening to Alan Jackson Ministries.

on to Pastor Allen. Be blessed. I want to pick up a new topic. I'd like to talk God willing for a few sessions about the battle in the heavens.

And I don't want to define all those terms in this first session, but suffice it to say there's

a battle taking place in the heavens and I don't mean

a battle between Air Forces and aircraft that we have put into the air but there's a

spiritual battle that's taking place.

And in so many ways, it defines what happens in our lives in time.

Now, I realize that that is often a topic that makes us a little, if not uncomfortable.

Sometimes we just

prefer to avoid it and in many church settings we've just ignored it almost

completely but nevertheless it's biblical and it's true.

Spiritual forces are every bit as real as a virus.
