In 2007, Unconventional Business Network held our first all-day conference. After the conference, our final speaker, Chip Ingram, said, “Rick this event was amazing, but God wants me to warn you to prepare for a spiritual battle over the next month.”

That month our garage door, our dishwasher and our garbage disposal broke. When the dryer broke as well, Kathy called laughing and said, “Hopefully this spiritual battle is about over. We don’t have many other things to break!”

Ephesians 6:12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil…”

If you’re advancing the Kingdom, expect spiritual battles. Be encouraged, however, we know who wins in the end!
