View MoreGoodmorning Orange! Todays verse says Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" i would like to look a little deeper upon this scripture. we don't fight against people but against spiritual beings. The verse above it says this v11 " Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" that word "wiles" means trickery, deceit, framed devices, cunning arts. the devil doesn't have any new power or way of doing things. just as in the beginning he deceived Eve how? by bringing a wrong thought for Eve to think upon read Genesis chapter 3 very carefully. "did God really say this or that" This is why we should study the Word of God intentionally to know what God has said and to know the true nature and heart of God. Plus the context of this scripture tells us to stand. That word "stand" means to abide or continue in covenant or be of a steadfast mind. And the word "wrestle" is a picture of a contest between two in which each endeavors to throw the other, and which is decided when the victor is able to hold his opponent down with his hand upon his neck. we are to stand in the covenant that Jesus established for us as victors, we are victorious because of Jesus. Jesus has already won and defeated the devil. Col 2:15. So we are to stand mentioned 3 times in this chapter. Because Jesus has already put the opponent down with His hand upon the devils neck. so we stand in the victory, in the covenant promises, in His love, and abide in His love. we keep our mind focus upon Jesus and His word. That is the spiritual warfare. So the question is what are you allowing in your thoughts that is given room for the thief to steal, kill and to destroy because Jesus is life and more abundant of it. What are you thinking upon?
