All those who would follow our Lord Jesus Christ are engaged in spiritual warfare. The Saints by long experience learned from the grace of the Holy Spirit how to wage this war.
The Holy Spirit appointed their footsteps and gave them understanding and the strength to overcome the enemy; but without the Holy Spirit the soul is incapable even of starting out upon the race, for she neither knows nor understands who and where her enemies are.
