Steemchurch: "Our struggle is spiritual"

Ephesians 6:12 "Because we have no fight against blood and flesh, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the governors of the darkness of this century, against the spiritual hosts of evil in the celestial regions."

Luke 11:17: "As he knew his thoughts, he said: Every kingdom divided against itself will be ravaged, and a house divided against itself will collapse."

This verse is in a spiritual context, a divided kingdom is not prevalent, the strong man is the demon. No matter what you do, when the high-ranking demon is not clogged all is well, as long as it is not affected in the same line. We are fighting an organized structure, because demons are organized in ranks, as Jesus reports in the verse.

Luke 11:21 – 22: "When a strong, well-armed man takes care of his estate, his property is secure. But if he is attacked by another stronger than himself and defeated, he takes away the weapons in which he trusted and gives out the loot. "

The first that we are called to turn to God is us. In these times the Church must know its position.

Ephesians 6:12-13 "Because we have no fight against blood and flesh, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the governors of the darkness of this century, against the spiritual hosts of evil in the celestial regions. Wherefore, take all the armour of God, that ye may endure in the wicked Day, and having finished everything, be steadfast. "

Satan is not mistaken, he organized his demons under hierarchy and has a specific method to attack people and countries. His whole study is based on the purpose of embittering and afflicting you. I mean, if you're prone to bitterness, he'll use a person for it. Let us learn to forgive because hatred is a poison, that if you keep it, you poison yourself. You must break Satan's method and when you do, he flees despavoridamente because he does not know how to respond when a person breaks his methods. It is a struggle, and that is why we must prepare ourselves with the armour of God.

No matter what battles we are waging, coming to the Lord with our burdens, in that time of intimacy with God in the secret place, something happens. We feel the balm of his spirit flooding our whole being, at the same time we can contemplate the cross and feel crucified together with Jesus Christ.

The weakness becomes a fortress and we are filled with an internal force that we did not have before, we feel that energy returns and we rise up ready to conquer.

Remember to use spiritual armor every day. "Put on all the armour of God, that ye may stand against the snares of the Devil" (Ephesians 6:11). We must wear all the armour of God to stand against the snares of the devil, because we have no fight against blood and flesh but against principalities, powers, governors of the darkness of this century and spiritual hosts of evil in the Celestial regions.

The struggle was not declared against people, but against the demonic powers of wickedness. St. Paul said to take all the armour of God to be firm on the bad day. It's the day of adversity, the day of the trial.
