From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
Darren Canning writes an important word here...and his goal is for you to stand in victory even through battles you may be facing.
We need to be strengthened and more mature in the Lord...as none of us have arrived.
I like this simple word Darren shares here:
Stand up today and declare victory in Jesus. You shall be fine but you have to stand. As Paul said in Ephesians, "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand" (Eph. 6:13).
Amen...I pray this helps you be strengthened in the Lord as you also draw closer to Him! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Here is the Key to Overcome Spiritual Warfare"
Darren Canning, Ontario, Canada
I have noticed, what I believe to be, an unfortunate occurrence in the Church: there are many Christians who are weak and need maturing in the Body of Christ.

Now, I am not saying that a sign of weakness is having people pray for you because I have people pray for me everyday, but I believe that we need to be mature in Christ and become more effective in the ministry. We must become mature sons and daughters who work the harvest field for Christ. We must be more outwardly focused than inwardly focused.
I think that many Christians just don't understand spiritual warfare. Many Christians get tied up in human debate. Some even want to fight people with their fists! There is so much of that in the world today. (The political fights that are occurring in the world around us are particularly nauseating.) People speak against each other as if they aren't people at all. There is no respect for one another.
If you have a negative attitude toward others and this is constant, then I would argue that you are not doing well spiritually. Every time you look at someone you know and you think they are the enemy, you are not assessing the battle correctly. Our warfare is spiritual and we must begin to handle it differently.
