WE DO NOT WRESTLE AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Ephesians 6:12

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 23:1-6; 1 Samuel 26:1-25; Matthew 7:1-29; Ephesians 6:10-18

There is a lot going on, in the spiritual realm and it is only those who operate in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit who will understand the things of the Spirit. The enemy is not resting. He is doing everything he can to throw many darts at children of God and wants to destroy them. Without knowledge about what goes on in the spiritual realm, you will perish. That is, you will become a victim. Paul mentions in Ephesians 6 from verse 10, that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of the darkness in this world. In order for you to overcome these evil things that happen, you need to be a soldier of Christ who puts on the full armor. Without the armor, then you cannot fight in this spiritual warfare. Put on the whole armor of God and I tell you, the devil will not have any hold on you. When Jesus Christ was driven by the Holy Spirit to go into the wilderness to pray and fast for forty days, He had all the spiritual armor for His protection against the devil. If He had gone to fast without the Spirit of God and the Word, it was not going to be possible for Him to overcome. I am therefore saying to you again and again, have on the belt of truth to gird your loins. As the Word of God says, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Secondly, have the breastplate of righteousness which will shield your soul from the devil. The righteousness you have been given through Jesus Christ. It is also vital to get your feet ready to spread the Gospel of peace about Jesus Christ. And above all, having the shield of faith. Faith in God will help you quench all the fiery darts of the devil. Spiritual warfare is only for those who have faith and who walk in the Spirit of God who will be able to fight the enemy. Galatians 5:25 says, “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Follow the Spirit, live under His control and don’t walk by the flesh. Worldly pleasures will open doors for the devil to attack and destroy you. Stay strong and do not fear anything because you have been given everything to fight with. Luke 10:19 says, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy and nothing will harm you.” Have on the whole armor of God and you will experience victory upon victory. Remember that Jesus Christ already fought all your battles and all you have to do is to be obedient to His commandments. Alleluia!

Prayer

LORD Jesus Christ, help me to stay strong and to grow in faith, so that I will always be able to overcome all forms of adversity. I now know with You by my side nothing is impossible. I thank You LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
