EVIL FORCES

Our struggle is 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

Demons or evil spirits are mentioned many times in Scripture. They are a part of the invisible world that operates behind the scenes. It’s a world every bit as real as the one we can touch and see. The most likely origin of demons is that they are fallen angels who joined Satan in his rebellion (Revelation 12:7-9). Today they remain active in seeking to destroy everything that is of God in our world.

While God has given Satan and his demons permission to operate in the world (the Book of Job for instance), we must never forget that the devil has been defeated by Christ. God placed Satan under His feet through the victory of the cross. While Satan and his demons continue to battle
and fight, *the future is established and certain the victory is the Lord’s.*

We are to respect the dark side as permitted by God, but we must also recognize we can resist the impact of demonic forces. By putting on the full armour of God we can stand our ground and withstand the devil’s schemes (Ephesians 6:10-11). *The battle is real, but so is the ultimate victory. We fight not to accomplish victory but from a position of victory already won.* That’s why the instruction to the Christian soldier in Ephesians 6 is to ‘stand.’ We stand on victorious ground.

With confidence in Christ, we can
engage in battle and be secure in
our outcome.

What does it mean for you to put on the full armour of God today?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I humbly ask your Spirit Will help me to put on your full amour beginning from today. In Jesus mighty name....Amen.
