Spiritual warfare is very crucial. Because many of us are not aware of the reality of the spiritual world. Many people do not believe in a demonic world but they just simply think that this world is just a physical world.

There is the reality of two Kingdoms in play.

1. The Kingdom of God
2. The Kingdom of Satan

These are two parallel worlds. In this reality there is a war going on but unfortunately many are not aware of this warfare.

What are the enemies of our souls?

1. The world.

Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

The Bible says do not be conformed to this world. Grammatically means; stop copying the world.

Knowingly or unknowingly, we are copying the world but unfortunately, we are not aware of it because it becomes our way of life. Copying the world means it was another way of this superficially: fashion, materialism, luxury cars, luxury life, and shopping etc… The deeper one is the philosophy of the world. On the internet, how the world is becoming more and more together in terms of values worldly things. It is unhealthy.

2. Flesh

Romans 7:14-15. “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.”

People in the world know something’s wrong with their lives but they cannot seem to overcome it. What

do they do? They justify. Do not justify your doing system but justify your belief system instead because the solution is Jesus Christ.

3. Devil

Ephesians 6:11-12 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  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.”

Our enemies are organized by world, flesh, and devil. Our struggle is not flesh and blood. It is not our family members; the reality is not people, but Satan the ruler of the darkness. Satan has so managed the situation where we pit one belief against another belief, and we think our enemies are people, but it is not. It is the power behind.

1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

We need to know that spiritual warfare is very real and we must be on the alert all the time. The world, the flesh, and the devil, these three work together against us. So put on the full armour of God. The only one and hope that we have is Jesus Christ in order to overcome our adversary in our daily spiritual warfare.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesian 6:10.
