What battle are you fighting???

Good morning everyone!!! What a wonderful day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ!!! God is good all the time,.....all the time God is good!!!
Yesterday we talked about the battle not being ours, but a spiritual battle that is God's. Let's look at Ephesians 6:12 today which follows this up.
Ephesians 6:12 "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers, in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
When talking about those who are not flesh-and-blood enemies this is a direct reference to demons. Who has control of the demons???? The devil, satan. Yes, God is over EVERYTHING, but at this time satan roams the earth with his demons.
This army, of whom satan is the leader, is a powerful army whose goal is to defeat Christ's church. Demons are real and when we believe in Christ, these beings become our enemies and they try every device to turn us away from GOD and back to sin.
The Bible assures us of victory but we will still engage in the struggle until Christ returns. Satan is constantly battling against all who are on the Lord's side. We need supernatural power to defeat satan, and GOD has provided this by giving us his HOLY SPIRIT within us and His armor surrounds us.
If you become discouraged for any reason remember what Jesus said in Matthew 16:18 "Upon this rock I will build my church and all the powers of hell will not conquer it."
How great it is to be a child of God!!! Our battle continues, continue to praise God, for God is in control and God is good all the time. Thank you for reading today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
