We wrestle not against flesh and blood.


“For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age.” 
Ephesians 6:12(GNB).

Human beings are not our real enemies in spiritual warfare according to our opening scripture. Though human beings may be used, influenced, dominated, possessed, obsessed and controlled by devils, but the real enemy is the devil himself.

Also, it is important you know that there are four hierarchies of devils we are dealing with in spiritual warfare. They are listed in Ephesians 6:12. They are: Principalities, Powers, The rulers of the darkness of this world, Spiritual wickedness in high places.

So, let this be known to you, that your real enemy is the devil. Since you now know that your real enemy are devils, it therefore means that you must carry-out your warfare with spiritual weapons (the armour of God). This is why Ephesians 6:13 says, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

I've always advised the body of Christ that we don't need physical weapons to fight spiritual battles. When the evil day comes as the bible says in Ephesians 6:13, will you be able to stand?

The Bible says in Proverbs 24:10, “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.”  This day of adversity is what Paul calls the evil day. So, for you to be able to stand in the evil day, you need to put on the whole armour of God.

PRAYER
Father, I thank you for enlightening the eyes of my spiritual understanding with truth. May the strength which this truth provides, grant me unending victory in the evil day as I put on the whole armour of God. In Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read:
Romans 13:12, 2 Corinthians 6:7.

DOING THE WORD
Do not carry-out spiritual warfare with physical weapons, they will fail you.
