I recently did a post based on
Ephesians
6:10-20 how our fight should be against Satan and the demons and
not against each other. Since then I've had a lot of questions and
have begun studying about this.
We don't hear many sermons on this
subject and yet it is possibly the most important thing to
understand. Just from what the Lord has given me so far is enough to
see why we don't hear more about it. It is because Satan does not
want us to know this. He will be defeated if we humans all knew this and got the help God is willing to freely give to us.
There is a difference between the way
Satan (who wants to be like God Most High) does things and the way
Father God does it. Satan wants to take control of us humans whether
we want him to or not. Father God (The
All Powerful, The All Knowing, The Everywhere Present, The Creator of all things visible and invisible, God) on the other hand, lets
us decide. He lets us decide if we want His help or not; we can
invite Yeshua Jesus in and then ask Jesus for The Living Water (The
Holy Spirit). The thing about all this that we humans don't
comprehend is that the spirit realm, that which we don't see, is so
so very important to us. If we don't have Jesus and the Holy Spirit
in us, we have no way to fight against Satan and the demons; no way to keep them from entering into us.
Some other posts to read are "Satan and his work", "Demons", and "I want to ask you some questions"
Ephesians 6:10-20Common English Bible (CEB)
Put on the armor of God
10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and his powerful strength. 11 Put on God’s armor so that you can make a stand against the tricks of the devil. 12 We aren’t fighting against human enemies but against rulers, authorities, forces of cosmic darkness, and spiritual powers of evil in the heavens. 13 Therefore, pick up the full armor of God so that you can stand your ground on the evil day and after you have done everything possible to still stand. 14 So stand with the belt of truth around your waist, justice as your breastplate, 15 and put shoes on your feet so that you are ready to spread the good news of peace. 16 Above all, carry the shield of faith so that you can extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word.
18 Offer prayers and petitions in the Spirit all the time. Stay alert by hanging in there and praying for all believers. 19 As for me, pray that when I open my mouth, I’ll get a message that confidently makes this secret plan[a] of the gospel known. 20 I’m an ambassador in chains for the sake of the gospel. Pray so that the Lord will give me the confidence to say what I have to say.
