Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 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.
We live in a tangible world. We see, we touch, we smell.
But the vast majority of things that affect our lives are not tangible. They are spiritual.
We don’t see the activity that takes place. But we see the results of that activity each and every day. We just might not always recognize it.
As humans, we tend to try to fight everything carnally, with our logic and our intellect. We try to figure things out in our heads.
But as believers, followers of Christ, we need to understand that most of our battles need to be fought in the spirit realm, using spiritual weapons.
God has given believers authority in the name of Jesus. He has given us prayer. And He has given us His word.
And He has given us a mandate to fight and defeat the enemy of our souls using those weapons.
It takes some time to understand this and to develop skills fighting battles this way. We will usually get better at it as we mature in our walk with God.
At first it might feel foreign and strange to us. And as we learn and grow in it, we will undoubtedly fail a few times.
But if we keep at it and we seek God’s counsel in prayer and the wisdom found in His word, we will become mighty warriors in the spirit and a formidable foe for the enemy and every demon in hell.
