We Do Not Wrestle Against Flesh and Blood But Against ..... (Its not the person or people youre fighting against... Its the spirit thats controlling and operating through them. ~ AE) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). The apostle does not mean to say that Christians had no enemies among men that opposed them for they were exposed often to fiery persecution; nor that they had nothing to contend with in carnal and corrupt propensities of their nature which was true of them then as it is now; but that their main controversy was with the invisible spirits of wickedness that sought to destroy them. They were the source and origin of all their spiritual conflicts and with them the warfare was to be maintained. We must always remember that we are to put on our armor of God (Gods Word) as we go forth into this wicked world but also know that our God is far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come (Ephesians 1:21). We have authority over all the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. Given to us by Jesus dying on the CROSS. (Ephesians 3:10). For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. (Colossians 1:13)
