For We Are Not Wrestling Blood And Flesh Enemies, But Against Evil Rulers And Authorities Of The Unseen World

EPHESIANS 6:12
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭NKJV‬

We all have flesh and blood enemies, but they are not the real enemies. Our battles with people are very real, but the source of them come from the pits of hell.
Our battle is not with people, corrupt governments, human cultist, fake religionists, atheists, or pseudo-Christians, but rather with the demonic influences working through them.
These enemies are evil spirits and demons, operating under the authority of principalities, with powers of the rulers of darkness of this age; the devils army whom he has control.
These fallen angels are not mere fantasies, they are very powerful and very real.
They operate with one agenda; to bring about the plans of the devil, to steal God’s Kingdom, to kill His people, and destroy all that is good.
The devil knows the future God has prepared for him, and wants to take you with him to the lake of fire forever.
Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This is a powerful army whose goal it is to defeat Christ church.
From the very moment we commit our lives to Christ, these beings become our enemies, and they will try every trick in the book to drag us from God; they will throw at us every temptation to drag us back into sin, and make false allegations. They will bring pain and persecution and never let up until the end.
Satan and his army are constantly battling against all who are on God’s side; his army is organised, ruthless, powerful, and these demonic beings are set on causing as much pain as they possibly can.
The truth is, we believers need to understand that we are either on God’s side or the devil’s; we are either In Gods Kingdom or the world, the devil’s kingdom, and is impossible to live with one foot in Gods kingdom and one in the world; Jesus said “I will spit you out (REVELATION 3:16-15-18).
We must pray in unity together in support of God’s will, His agendas, and His people. Their is no inbetween; furthermore, our governments are to stand upon the shoulders of Christ; “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We “the church” need to pray in unity, not for any old government, but for godly governments. We must cooperate with God and rely on His supernatural powers to defeat the devil and these evil beings.
Today, we see the efforts of the enemy as they infiltrate our world leadership, the church and church leadership, and even the fake news media, the false prophets of today.
Many, rather than bringing news, are pushing proper gander in support of corrupt governments installing fear and feeding lies to the people by which they are installing unreasonable powers, restrictions, and controls.
But the source of these evils is the demonic.
God has made every provision by giving us the gift of the Holy Spirit who lives within His people, empowering them to discern and rebuke the devil’s attacks, and remain safe in Gods hands in these dark days.
He has given us the full body armor to protect us from the devil.
Paul tells us, ”Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭13‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, as we head toward Jesus return, God is working for and through His people; He is using all this evil for our long-term good, and He Himself is and will continue to expose the truth and truth shall set many free.
He is bringing truth and justice, separating the chaff from the wheat.
My beloved, just as the Lord appeared to Solomon, God is appearing through His Prophets with this message for His people today; “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’ then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.”
‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:14-18, 20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But for those who put their trust in false gods, false churches operating outside of the five fold ministry of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11-16), science, and images; and those who involved in or aid corruption and immortality, God is warning them with this message. ““But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. “And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and this house?’ Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.’ ””
‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:19-22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, if you continue in the devil’s den you shall be swallowed up with the devil and his fallen angels.
Jesus church is here, and is written, is the apostolic five fold ministry of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11-16). And while many pastors and ministers are trying desperately to keep their self appointed authority in mans old church alive, the old church is dead and those who remain in it shall fall with the devil.
These churches may feel good with the glossy worship and preaching, but they will take you no where good.
They bring false promises of prosperity with agendas of self funding and selfish ambitions of status and riches over and above the congregation.
But the truth is, the whole congregation, wherever they sit in the church fall within one or more of categories of the five fold ministry of Christ and Jesus is the only head.
We are called to call Gods people out from among them with truth, but not to regularly assemble with them in their rebellion.
Therefore, ”Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”“
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
