Not Flesh And Blood

It is challenging in this world not to be distracted by all that we see and hear around us. There are plenty of “wrongs” for us to get caught up in objecting to as we observe the happenings around us. Yes, there are people in positions of “power” that seem to be not as good as we would like. Yes, there can be seeming injustices that take place in our world. But if we focus on what we can see, we will miss the true enemy that we cannot see. If we want to battle and win, then we must correct our focus.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

This is our calling and these are our weapons. We do need to oppose evil, but we need to oppose it on a spiritual plain.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy. You alone are King. We praise the name Yahoo! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
