Spiritual Warfare's Reality

The chaos and destruction that one experiences in life are not merely coincidences or the result of random chance. They are the outward signs of a deeper spiritual conflict that involves every individual. This battle is not against other people but against the spiritual forces of evil that seek to undermine faith and hope. Recognizing this reality is the first step in engaging with the struggle effectively. It is essential to understand that one is not just a passive victim in this cosmic conflict but an active participant, equipped with spiritual armor provided by God. Standing firm in God's strength, not one's own, is the key to overcoming these challenges and emerging victorious. [20:31]

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." - Ephesians 6:12

Reflection: What are some ways you might have been attributing struggles to people or circumstances instead of recognizing them as spiritual battles?
