Penned
more than a hundred years ago, the following line from Sister White comes
doubly significant for us today.
“O that the
followers of Christ would remember that eternal vigilance is the price
of eternal life.” UL 200
“Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:” I Peter 5:8
THE
INVISIBLE BATTLE
A battle has been long waged between God’s children and Satan’s
forces, that a woe was pronounced to the inhabitants of the earth.
“Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil
is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he
hath but a short time. “ Revelation 12:12
What is this battle about?
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
The plan of this battle has been revealed. What is it?
"The Lord has not concealed from His followers the plan of the
battle. He has presented before His people the great conflict, and He
has given them words of encouragement. He charges them not to enter
into the battle without counting the cost, while He assures them that
they do not fight alone, but that supernatural agencies will enable
the weak, if they trust in Him, to become strong against the vast confederacy
of evil arrayed against them. He points them to the universe of heaven,
and assures them that holy beings are wrestling against principalities
and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against
spiritual wickedness in high places."
Upward Look p. 82
Now is the time to expose the sins of Babylon. All will be unmasked.
What are these sins?
"Thus will the message of the third angel be proclaimed. As the
time comes for the loud cry to be given, the Lord will work through
humble instruments, leading the minds of those who consecrate themselves
to his service. The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction
of his Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of
faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring
the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open.
The fearful results of a union of Church and State, the inroads of Spiritualism,
the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power,--all will be unmasked."
Spirit of Prophecy, Vol 4, p. 424

Contend for the FAITH once Delivered to the SAINTS
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the
common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort
you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares,
who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the
only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude
3-4.
