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. Ephesians 6:12
Ephesians 6:12 • Wrestle is a very intense word from the Greek word “pale.” • Wrestle- a contest in which two opponents endeavor to gain control of one another by throwing one another. The victor is the one who gains control of his adversary’s neck and pins him to the ground. • With your neck you turn to something or away from something.
You are a three-part being. • You are a spirit, you live in a body, and you have a soul. • Your soul is your mind, will, and emotions. The enemy knows if he has your soul, he has you. If he controls your mind, will, and emotions, then he controls you.
“I have made a covenant with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman?” Job 31:1
Perception - a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something.
Four Benefits of Discernment • 1. God will empower you to differentiate truth from error, right from wrong, and pure motives from impure ones. • 2. You will be able to better identify deception in others. • 3. You will have divine insight into determining whether a testimony attributed to God is truth or deception. • 4. The Holy Spirit will enable you to recognize inaccuracies in biblical teaching and prophetic messages.
So Who Are We Fighting? • Ephesians 6:12 - 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.
