“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.“ (Ephesians 6:12)
We are in a battle, a battle that is developed in the spiritual realm.
Our enemies are not the people who rise up against us, but the evil spirits who use their bodies. There is an army of demons who are well trained and armed with weapons of injustice, wickedness and deceit. Under Satan's command, this army has surrounded and dominated humanity, leading to destruction.
Many Christians have underestimated the strategies and the power of action of spiritual forces from hell; that’s why many have lost their battles. Many have gotten cold in their faith and have fallen by the wayside. Before, they were like the salt that gave flavor, but now without the presence of God, they are alive but dead in this world, being trampled by the devil.
We cannot falter! It is eternal life or eternal death.
The biggest conflict that people face is not on the outside, but on the inside, it’s in the mind. This is where it all begins! The mind is the devil's main battlefield. It is where he plants his thoughts.
Satan imitates God in everything. The Holy Spirit works with the Word, and with it He inspires us to have divine thoughts. Satan also works with the word, as he did with the woman in the Garden of Eden. He pollutes the human mind with thoughts of doubt, and that is where he has prevailed.
“Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.“ (Ephesians 6:16)
The fiery darts of the wicked are the thoughts! They are the arrows that he shoots all the time in people's minds, making them fall into temptation.
He only suggests! For example: you take your computer and then immediately, come those thoughts of watching pornography. Where do these thoughts come from? Where do these thoughts of lying, cheating, deceiving, hiding sins come from?
Where do the thoughts of leaving the work of God come from? Thoughts that God is not listening to your prayers? That the Pastor or someone in the church does not like you or wants to harm you? The powers of darkness act in the churches causing spiritual coldness.
There is no doubt that the devil has been working through thoughts. Those who cultivate them, sooner or later will fall! Some people want to preserve the name or positions they have, but those who are saved, don’t consider what they will lose or fail to gain! Your salvation comes first.
Those who are spiritual hear the voice of the Spirit, but those who are in flesh don’t give it any attention.
When the devil comes with a thought, whatever it may be, we must fight against it in faith! If he comes with accusations, tell him: Jesus has already forgiven me devil!
There is only one way to overcome the spiritual forces of evil, which is to take on the whole armor of God.
