“For WE DO NOT WRESTLE AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but “AGAINST” the rulers, “AGAINST” the authorities, “AGAINST” the cosmic powers over this present darkness, “AGAINST” woe I, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
How long will I have to fret about the tactics of those who are opposed to ALMIGHTY GOD? HE spoke the worlds into existence with no help or input from mankind. HE made the rivers to flow where they would. HE causes trees to grow wherever HE pleases. HE even allows man to dream up global warming to illustrate their lack of belief in HIS SOVEREIGNTY!
We can be so caught up in the actions caused by those who are “AGAINST” GOD that we lose sight that HE IS IN CONTROL! 2 Corinthians 4:4 says “In their case the “god of this world” has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of CHRIST, WHO is the image of GOD.” The “god of this world” has no authority over we who are CHOSEN by our CREATOR.
“The enemy” can wear all kinds of disguises. Keep in mind, he has already been defeated. HE was made by GOD (Genesis 3:3; John 1:3) and is diametrically “AGAINST” everything honoring GOD. So “the enemy’s” attempts cloud the issues with fears and doubt are nothing more than lies, for he is a liar and the father lies (John 8:44!). Recognizing that snout great challenge.
“WE DO NOT WRESTLE AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD” cannot be written more plainly! Our struggle is with rulers, authorities, cosmic powers over this present darkness, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. “The enemy” is “AGAINST” GOD, and the SPIRIT OF GOD dwells inside of me, so I need to STAND FIRM “AGAINST” the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
