WHO ARE WE FIGHTING?

 
 
Ephesians 6:12
 
"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 the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." ESV
 
 
We are not fighting and struggling with people. We are fighting against the natural, sinful spirit that all of us were born with because of sin. We are fighting with the powerful, dark, spiritual army of Satan's kingdom that currently prevails on earth. We cannot understand the magnitude of this battle, nor can we fight it on our own. We can survive and overcome the eternal death of this war only by the power of God and the armor He supplies us to protect and conquer.
 
Heavenly Father, we confess that we are but weak humans who get so caught up in the environment we're in that we forget what we are dealing with. Help us to stay spiritually minded to see beyond what our senses are telling us, and to be fully clothed in Your armor to overcome for Your glory. In Jesus' precious name we pray, Amen.

Spiritually minded.Sometimes we get so busy with life we forget to take the time we need to think about eternal issues.It's worth keeping our eyes on Jesus.
