Synopsis "Fighting With God: Becoming a Christian Warrior"
I was in the battle of my life. Nothing in my training had prepared me for this. I felt as if I had failed. I had failed my wife and my family. I had failed the church. And most of all, I had failed God. When I was at my lowest point, when there seemed to be no way out, God broke through. God reached way back and grabbed hold of the faded dreams of an eight-year-old boy swimming at the bottom of a pool, trying to be a Navy Frogman, and dropped them into the midst of my pain and failure. On February 21, 1994, God clearly said, "Walter, you are secure", and this pastor's life change. Fighting with God describes the kind of spiritual warfare we face today as active spiritual terrorism. Mirroring the military's style, the content is arraigned around acronyms with the hope that the material will be easily memorized and applied to one's thoughts and action. The Christian life is not meant to be good thoughts that are simply accepted. The Christian life must be put into action. "This is why it is said: 'Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.' Be careful, then, how you live" (Ephesians 5:14-15 NIV).
