Note that I was coming from the perspective of 'non-duality', and its in that context, that one can just rest in 'God', since 'God' is already always the One and Only Reality. From this realization of pure consciousness, of indivisible Light,....one already is all that God is, because 'God' is all in all. There is no 'other' to contend with ('contention' is only found in the world of 'duality', where 'this' is battling with 'that', or a 'person' is in opposition to another 'person', and all the complications thereof).
I may begin a new thread on 'non-duality' again, to uphold the ancient and awesome teaching of 'Advaita' in due time. Remember, one can just abide 'here' in total fullness/perfection 'now', without diving into the 'con-flict' or 'suffering' of 'duality'. Duality has its place here in this space-time dimensions of 'apparent' relationships of course, but that's only in the 'illusion' of this creative play. In any case, we'll delve more into that elsewhere
Who is this 'you' engaging in any battle, when and where 'God' already is the One All-Supreme Being?
- lets step back a little and look things over before assuming anything. Its easy to get caught up in Paul's epic struggle between the 'flesh' and the 'spirit',...a duality all humanity faces as 'divisive'. Even if using Paul's analogy, that we wrestle not against flesh & blood, but spiritual forces or darkness....all you need to be, as per Jesus instruction is LIGHT. - this 'light' by nature dispels, radiates, conquers the darkness. Did he not say "let your light shine"? What more is necessary? Keep it simple,....let the 'light' within you, be that simple and 'single' reality, that your 'eye' is set upon radiating, and then your whole being will the radiance thereof. The Master also said, "while you have the light (while it is available), believe in the light, that you may be sons of light". The sons of light always win over the sons of darkness, by nature.
Hate has no part in love, and is corrosive, hostile, degrading. Hate is not even worth battling against on one level, since it only eats up the person consumed by it. Only love can heal, conquer, subdue hate, dispelling it entirely, transforming one back to wholeness and recognition of divine value. In the heart-unity of God there is no battle or conflict whatsoever,...only wholeness.
If we look at it dualistically from the perspective of a spiritual warrior,...yes....our weapons are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. But this can be done within one's own soul, genuflection and quiet prayer, just being light. Times of prophetic prayer or utterance may flow when needed, where we are allowed to be participants or 'co-creators' in the play of good vs. evil.
Yes, in some sense because of our love and devotion to 'God', we stand up valiantly for the cause of truth and justice, mediated thru love and wisdom. We uphold all true values and ideals of Spirit. Indeed, the "fear of the Lord is to hate evil", but we must properly interpret the language used, for it is our reverencing esteem and honor or awe of 'God', that inspires us to loathe what is evil, unjust or cruel, because it grieves the Spirit. In this we align ourselves with the heart and soul of the true prophets, who are God's voice in the wilderness.

It's not that I can defeat them in a Carnally "Defined" War, but the More the world can SEE who Satan's children are, the better the World.

This kind of Fight is not a fight of Hate really, But for the LOVE of God in the Spirit!!

-- That's how God defines it. We fight for our Love of Him, not for the Hate of People, but EVIL, and I do HATE EVIL!!!!!
