If salvation is a choice, where does spiritual warfare occur?

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. – 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)

…And of a sound mind…..this is critical to understand, as it is the frontline battleground of spiritual warfare.

In Romans 1, we can read further into the words of Paul…..(Beginning verse 28) …” And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” (29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, (30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: (32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

When we seek God, wisdom is one of the gifts we receive (“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him”. James 1:5kjv) The opposite is true of those who deliberately seek to defy God. They are given over to a spirit of evil that devours the mind and becomes void of wisdom. This is where we are today, my dear friends, the world is given over to a reprobate mind, lacking the wisdom of God in the mind of man. Are you watching corporate media news networks? Other related television programs not of God? These are conceived of reprobate minds, and should be avoided as we approach the last days of the end times, and the Rapture of the bride ahead of the final week of Daniel’s missing week :)
