Thus any wars that God fights against evil are called "the Wars of the Lord," including any wars He uses His people to fight against the forces of darkness. No matter what battles we may fight against the enemy, we must remember that the battle belongs to the Lord. As Scripture says, "the battle is not yours, but God's" (2 Chr 20:15).
Since God never loses a battle, the victory is ours when the battle is the Lord's. Don't forget that. Just be sure you are fighting the Lord's battle and not your own, and understand who your real enemy is. "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 in the heavenly realms." (Eph 6:12)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
