Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
.
We often see our enemies as those who fight against us. People who have little regard for the Holy Scriptures. They see God’s word as some relic of fables, or stories that have been twisted over the years to fit someone’s philosophy of life. It is challenging for the believer to see past their spiritual blindness and see a lost soul in need of God. Yes, they fight against the truth and resist God, but they are controlled by an unseen spiritual wickedness that has darkened their hearts to believe a lie. There are those who have allowed this spirit to infiltrate their lives to the point that they embody the very spirit of Satan. Jesus, who has power over darkness was able to rebuke such spirits from people and cast out such devils. We, who are filled with the Holy Spirit are told to put on spiritual gear that will protect us from the enemy’s attack. It is the source of our defense and offense as we fight against the rulers of the darkness of this world. Satan is out to destroy all who name the Name of Jesus. We must be ready, we must put on the whole armor of God. Prepare for battle, God is with us!
