While we are not called to obsess about spirits and demons, the Scriptures are clear that as Christians we have a real enemy and a target painted on our backs. We are in grave danger if we march onto the battlefield of life unaware or ignoring the fact that we have a devious enemy whose ultimate goal is our destruction. It is important to understand who the enemy is, what our mission is, and what weapons we are given to fight effectively and further God’s kingdom through the victory we are promised if we persevere. Fortunately, we fight alongside the King of the universe, and we have been given an arsenal by our Lord that, when employed faithfully and daily, will guard us from the deadly lies and attacks of the enemy. The armor of God is far superior to the meager defenses we invent when we rely on our own wisdom and strength, and diligent use of our divine armor will ensure a steadfast mind, a hopeful attitude, and a victorious life.
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 firm. Ephesians 6:13
