“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
We are in a constant battle that we often don’t see – the battle for our mind, will, and heart. Satan is ready to attack at the sight of the least bit of weakness. He uses the same tricks of deception, temptation, and accusation to throw us off God’s path. When we are completely sold out to serving God it seems like everything that could go wrong does; that’s spiritual warfare. Satan wants to discourage us, make us question God, and convince us to give up.
On my Bible study nights total craziness will happen. There are days that I am so worn out physically and emotionally that I want to give up and go home. However, I know that’s how Satan wins. I also know any area you are studying, you can guarantee those areas of your life will be attacked even more. Studying marriage, things will start to get tense in our marriages. Studying how to overcome strongholds, those strongholds will be even more intense and obvious. Studying prayer, everything that can interrupt our prayer time will happen. Ephesians 6:10-18 gives us directions on putting on the armor of God to help protect us during this battle. The main thing is to be alert, continually in prayer, and remember God is fighting for us.
“Dear God, Keep us alert for signs the enemy is at work in our lives. Let us never let down our guard when we are serving You and doing Your will. Help us to daily put on Your armor and to never forget that You are fighting for us.”
For His Glory
