SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Background Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18
As Christians, we need to realize that we do not have to
succumb to the wiles of the enemy.
Satan uses evil strategies and
ploys to deceive people and keep them in bondage, blinded to the
truth.
But the only power Satan retains in Christians’ lives is that
which they give him, through sinning and remaining in ignorance.
It is also essential we realize that in ourselves, we have no power
to defeat the enemy.
Many people try to fight the devil in their own
strength - their willpower - and they fail.
In Christ, however, when
we are living in harmony with God’s Word, we can allow God’s
power into our lives to defeat the enemy.
It is therefore not we who
deal with the devil - rather, it is God’s grace working through us,
energizing us and giving us the power we need.
God’s grace is revealed in the two aspects of His power which
work together for the benefit of His people.
The first aspect of His
power is demonstrated through God supplying us with the provisions
we need to run the race of faith.
This includes our daily physical
needs, from finances, to protection, to the healing of our body.
The
second describes God’s power at work within us so that we are able
to do His will, being empowered to resist the destructive urges of the
world, the flesh (the sin nature) and the devil.
This power comes
through the imparted Divine Nature which energizes our human
nature as we submit to the Holy Spirit.

The only power Satan retains in
Christians’ lives is that which they give
him, through sinning and remaining in
ignorance. .

The Word of God tells us that we are involved in spiritual
warfare, and that our enemy today is the devil and his forces., as
Ephesians 6:12 and 1 Peter 5:8 tell us:
1
EPHESIANS 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood (our foes are not human; however, Satan constantly
uses human beings to carry out his dirty work), but
against principalities (rulers or beings of the highest
rank and order in Satan’s kingdom), against powers (the
rank immediately below the “Principalities”), against the
rulers of the darkness of this world (those who carry out
the instructions of the “Powers”), against spiritual
