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. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:12-13
I like to watch outdoor shows about survival and adventure. One thing you quickly learn is you have to have survival skills and common sense to survive the wilderness and its’ elements. Likewise in your life you need spiritual skills to survive the wilderness ‘experiences’ that the evil one, Satan, hopes you will succumb to.
If you are a believer you have the Holy Spirit living inside you. That is that still small voice of right versus wrong which is being muddled by the present darkness of the world of today. Don’t live by feelings, by the worlds view of right and wrong.
The Bible is truth and following it will keep you from the enemies traps which are often well laid like a land mine of sorts to try to destroy your life. Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church says “you can’t have victory without a battle” and how very true that is. But recognize the battles as stumbling blocks from the devil and keep running the race straight into the arms of Jesus. Whatever lies the enemy has you believing that are being made to seem normal by culture reject them, pray, and run far and fast out of that wilderness.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus help those I know and love who are succumbing to the lies of the enemy have their strongholds broken. Father reveal truth that Satan tries to mask. Help me let the Holy Spirit do the convicting as I pray. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
