If we are going to live a peaceful life with everyone whom we come in contact, we must realize that the battles we fight are not physical but spiritual. They are not to be directed toward another human being but should be directed against the forces of darkness because 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). When we fight against another we are not fighting against the one who is at the root of our fighting. Fighting against one another will never help spread the message of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Satan is the real enemy and he lies in wait to find our weaknesses and then attack us. When we fight against another we give Satan the opening he needs to make ineffectual our testimony of the life-changing power of what Christ did for us. Our text verse says the weapons are not weapons of flesh and blood but strongholds (spiritual forces). When we go into these spiritual battles, we fight with weapons that are not of this world.
If we are going to destroy the works of Satan, we must learn to constantly put on the whole Armour of God-Ephesians 6:10-18. As we hold on to God's Armour, we can use them to demolish those strongholds. Our spiritual weapons has the divine power to defeat and annihilate strongholds and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.
Further Scripture Study: Isaiah 54:17, Ephesians 6:10-18
Declare This: Dear Father, I will not allow the strongholds of the evil one win over me. I will always put on the Armour of God and be victorious in any battle that comes my way in Jesus name Amen.
