Bible Verse of The Day – 3-3-22

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood…

Part 1

Spiritual warfare is something we teach on and speak about frequently.

Why? Because it’s a necessity for believers to understand it and be equipped to fight the battles that we all face.

Without proper teaching and training, we will not survive such battles.

It has become abundantly clear that we are in an epic spiritual battle right now. Darkness (evil) is working feverishly to overcome and defeat light (good).

This is not a new battle. It has been going on since the beginning of time.

John 1:5 (NIV) 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

In John 1:5, the translation used here says that the darkness has not overcome the light. Other translations use other verbs, such as extinguished, overpowered or absorbed.

It’s important for us to understand that the darkness (evil, wickedness and everything that stands against God).) will never defeat the light.

But that doesn’t mean that it will stop trying. The goal of the enemy is to take out and defeat as many people as possible before God finally brings him to his final end.

The battle that is so heavily raging right now is not a battle of flesh and blood. Our war is not against men and women, even though we see men and women carrying out the plans of the enemy.

The people carrying this out are pawns of the enemy; humans who have largely given themselves over to evil, sacrificing their souls for wealth and power. Their sins have consumed them, and God has given them over to their depravity, leaving them to their own devices.

Let’s continue this tomorrow, as we dig deeper into the spiritual aspects of this and explore it on a deeper level that will help us better understand it all.

We hope you’ll join us!
