Principalities Supernatural spiritual powers, whether good or evil.
Principalities were created by and are thus subject to Christ ().
Neither principalities nor any other force can separate a believer from God’s love found in Christ ().
Principalities and Powers represent hostile and demonic powers opposed to Christ and the Church

The key to victory in spiritual warfare is in knowing both what Jesus Christ has done to Satan and what He has done to you.
Christians too often live in fear of what they think the devil might do, but can’t, and in ignorance of what they themselves can do, but don’t.
Defeat is thus the result of failing to reckon with and act upon the devil’s dethronement and the believer’s enthronement.
Satan is a master of misrepresentation
He is powerful, but not omnipotent.
He is intelligent, but not omniscient
He is active, but not omnipresent
3. Satan sets his goal and then utilizes and exploits the most effective means, while avoiding all obstacles, to reach his diabolical end.

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Q: “How do I know the difference between the fiery missiles of the evil one and the sinful activity of my own flesh?”
A: “My own evil desire will probably be all too familiar to me, a predictable pattern I’ve battled with.
The HS is also quick to convict me of my own sinfulness.
Flaming arrows, on the other hand, come like a shot out of the blue, with a nearly irresistible intensity.
With such assaults there is also often confusion and excessive guilt, especially if it was an angry impulse which unleashed its fury on another person” (Tom White, 72
