The Battle Marks of Maturity. Ephesians 4:17-32 God wants us to move from the spiritual nursery to the spiritual battlefield. He wants us to leave the realm of milk, bibs and diapers and He wants us to enter the realm of meat, battles and devotion.God's plan for every one of His children is to see them all reach spiritual maturity! He just wants us to grow up!A few do, some never will and others reach for that goal daily.You know Jesus is your Savior and you know you are headed to Heaven. You know you are far from what you should be, but there is a genuine desire in your heart to be all the Lord has saved you to be. Your life is filled with ups and downs, with the struggles of the flesh and the spirit. You are not self-righteous, self-confident or self-reliant. You merely want to grow!

This change in behavior had to start with a change in their mind. The battle for one's behavior is really a battle for one's mind.
