Devos of the Week: Ephesians 6:11-12

“For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against…against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” It is easy to get caught up in political, philosophical, and theological debates demonizing people who think differently than us. Paul’s words here are a reminder that our real enemy is not people different than us, but spiritual powers that work behind the scenes in powerful ways for evil. Help us, Holy Spirit, to put on the full armor of God that we might stand against the deceptions of the devil.
