Scripture: Ephesians 6: 12 – 13
12 For we[d] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
Scripture Commentary:
Paul tells us we are fighting a war that has been going on since Adam and Eve. Satan has not given up. If anything, he has adapted his fight to fit into this time of history. Satan’s forces are powerful and the evil spirits are cunning and will do anything and everything for Satan to win the war.
We need God to protect and show us how to withstand their attacks. God gives us the armor of protection. The Bible, prayer and faith are our weapons.
Paul’s words give us counsel so that we are best prepared for what is before us. God gives us The Holy Spirit to show us how to defeat Satan and his army. Satan’s armies are not mere fantasy; they are real and powerful, but with God as our leader, we will win the fight. God gives us supernatural power to do battle with Satan and defeat him and his forces.
