10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:10-13 (King James Version)
It has been quite a journey.
All those dreams, and visions, from decades ago.
And now, incorporated into 22 books on spiritual warfare, written in 36 days.
How precious the guidance I had been receiving from the Holy Spirit of God, the moment I decided to embrace JESUS last year.
And I learned something new today as I got to the 25th minute of Chuck Missler's important video on "Expectations of the Antichrist" (Session 4).
He said it was a "supernatural warfare" going on.
And that all these goings on were in the "metacosm", the habitation of angels and demons.
The battle is real, even as it is crafted in the spirit.
Actually, it's in the spirit world where the real battle goes on, that's why man has to have his heart right with the LORD, if he is to survive.
Consider the enemy:
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
-- Ephesians 6:12 KJV
How to succeed in this supernatural warfare battle, where, according to Chuck Missler, humans are the "pawns", and the "prize"?
Here's how, by putting on the whole Armor of God:
14 Stand therefore,
having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod
with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all,
taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:
18 Praying always
with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto
with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints;
-- Ephesians 6:14-18 KJV
I found that breaking it down, in bite-sized phrases, allows me the ability to understand Bible verses better.
I hope it does the same for you.
Stay strong in the LORD, believe in the power of His might, and you will be victorious in CHRIST!
