Greetings:
This is a message that should never get old.
As Christians, we are in a battle every day.
It's an intense and deceptive spiritual confrontation that is real.
Ephesians 6:12, says "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."
Who are those principalities, powers, rulers or darkness and such?
We are talking about evil demonic spirits that can and will attack each of us if we allow it.
In spiritual warfare, demonic spirits are launched as fiery darts or flaming arrows as Ephesians 6:16 tells us: “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."
These fiery darts come in one of three forms; temptations, deceptions, and accusations.
The devil tempted Eve in the garden. If Satan wants more legal grounds in our lives, we can expect some temptations to come our way. That's his way of getting us to fall and give him a place to operate.
Countless believers are living in defeat because they have been deceived.
The enemy has deceived them and caused them to believe and live a lie. If we allow deception to take hold, strongholds can then be formed in our minds.
Many Christians feel guilt-ridden and worthless because they don't see themselves they way they ought to because of deception.
Ephesians 6 speaks of the weapons that we are to use in spiritual warfare, and in verse 17 we are told to take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God."
The devil tells us: "You're a failure! Look at your past!"
God's Word says: "What past? The blood of Jesus has washed it away!" We are clean and redeemed by the grace of God.
This warfare is not a recreational game. It's the real deal and a real challenge, if we are not prepared, studied up and prayed up. Remember, God, wins this battle.
Be blessed.
