WE
ARE WRESTLERS!
Eph
6:12
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.
We
often think
that our enemies are obstinate people or uncooperative circumstances but, for
the believer, our real enemy is a spiritual system. This system is highly
organized. Dr. Barnes said: “The reference is to the ranks of angels, called
here thrones, dominions, etc.”
The
angel hinted at this
demonic organization in Dan 10:13 “But the prince of the kingdom
of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief
princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.” We
are wrestlers and soldiers in this spiritual conflict whether we choose to be
or not! War has been declared upon us and we can only respond by yielding to
the evil or wrestling against it.
We
have weapons
and armor available to us but we must “put on” this armor. This requires
deliberate and conscious action.
Eph
6:11
11
Put
on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil.
Dear
Lord, as I wrestle today, let me not forget any of my weapons or armor. Please
watch my six! AMEN
