"For we wrestle, not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)There is an Enemy out to get you. The Bible refers to him as the "father of lies" and compares him to a "roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" coming "to steal, kill and destroy". He often attacks through our thoughts, whispering lies and deadly negative thoughts, that if we believe them, will do us in.
How do we stand against such an enemy; unseen and deceptive?
"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons the world uses. On the contrary, our weapons (like prayer, for example) have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
