AUG. 19 – WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

“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

Our battles are essentially spiritual, and it will require a spiritual approach to achieve the desired victory. There are habits, and then there are controls. Controls are remote in nature and operate in the atmosphere. They are called “spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.” Their aim is to disconnect you from your source. Some people kneel down to pray, but nothing changes in their lives because demonic forces are contending against them.

That wild anger and that depression you are struggling with are the works of these controlling powers. A man with the spirit of anger doesn’t need anyone to say or do something to make him angry. He just gets angry over anything, whether good or bad. To overcome these powers, you need to engage in serious travailing prayers because the battle is not physical but spiritual. If you truly want to overcome that habit in your life, then you need to rise and engage heaven with serious travailing prayers.

Prayer: Pray and ask God to deliver you from the snares of the enemy.
