Every Christian woman is a warrior, but what does that mean? In a military context, a warrior is a woman trained to fight and defeat her enemies using strength and strategy. She faces danger with courage to defend her cause. A warrior does not flee from the battle.
They are warriors because they fight for the cause of Christ, for the gospel that seeks to win souls. And the war they are in is very real.
The true battle is spiritual
Our true battle is not against people, national armies, or political parties. Our fight is against the spiritual forces of evil that enslave our world.
The Bible teaches that the Devil is our enemy and wants to destroy us. He hates everything that belongs to God and does everything to ruin His creation. All sinners who have not been saved by Jesus are under the Devil's dominion. Where sin reigns, the Devil reigns. And one of the Christian’s objectives is to participate in the destruction of this kingdom of darkness by establishing the Kingdom of God.
The Devil and the demons who follow him are like a well-organized army, with hierarchy and strategy to cause destruction. They promote evil and sin, so that people remain in bondage, without knowing the liberating truth about Christ. These spiritual forces are the enemies we fight against.
Fortunately, we also belong to an army. On the cross, Jesus achieved total victory over evil. When a person converts, repenting of their sins and recognizing Jesus as their Savior, God takes that person out of the kingdom of darkness and makes them a citizen of Heaven. The enemy no longer has any claim over them! A little more of the Kingdom of God is established.

The Battle Against Sin
Another part of the spiritual battle is the fight against our old life, dominated by sin. When we accept Jesus, we receive total forgiveness and become children of God, but that doesn’t make us immune to temptation. Even Jesus, who never sinned, was tempted!
Temptation is a dangerous enemy. It presents sin as something good and pleasant, but it’s a trap. When we sin, we create a gap in our spiritual armor and become more vulnerable to other attacks from the enemy.
Overcoming temptation is truly a battle! It requires discipline, strategy, wisdom, prayer, and a lot of trust in God. But with God’s help, you can become stronger in this fight. And when you suffer a defeat, God is by your side to help you get up and fight again.
Christian Women Also Fight
Just as salvation is available to all, both men and women, God also calls everyone to fight in this war. Men do not battle alone. Women fight alongside them.
A Christian warrior doesn’t need great physical strength or to know how to use a machine gun. The weapons we fight with are not human (2 Corinthians 10:4). We fight with spiritual weapons, and in Jesus, we have the power to overcome.
If you love Jesus, you are a warrior in God’s army. You have the responsibility to prepare for war, but you won’t fight alone. God gives you brothers and sisters who fight by your side. The church is where the troops gather. Don’t forget to report for duty.
Although we are called to fight, the victory does not depend on our own strength. Only in God do we find the power to overcome.
To achieve victory in the spiritual battle, we need to put on the full Armor of God and follow in the footsteps of Jesus. When we place all our trust in God, He clothes us with strength and empowers us to fight against spiritual traps. Even when we face impossible situations, God has the power to deliver us.
The war may become violent, and the path difficult to follow, but if we remain steadfast in Jesus, He will sustain us. In the end, we will see God’s salvation and share in the victory.
Be a warrior, do not give up the fight, and God will always be with you.
