Spiritual warfare

When we do spiritual warfare, most of the time we only focus on how to achieve the victory and so our thoughts are centered around how God can take us through. We are trusting God for the victory and not realizing that the way to victory is to work alongside God and not God alone doing it for us. What we fail to do is to work with our thoughts while we are in the battle. We should prevent certain thoughts from gaining the upper hand because they are crucial to our victory. We cannot afford to complain while in the battle. We cannot afford to be thankless while in the battle. We cannot afford to question the delay in receiving an answer. The battle is as important as the victory and winning the war inside is as important as gaining the ultimate victory.
