Spiritual, involved.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Ephesians 6:12 With all the happenings there are  around us, sometimes it's easy to forget that our struggle is really not physical but spiritual.  It is important to remember that we put on the armor of God at all times: The Word of God Righteousness Gospel of peace Faith Salvation Prayer If there is any one of the parts of the armor that we may not be strong at, it is important also that we keep these areas strengthened.  If we only see things that we struggle with constantly in a spiritual realm, it would less of the flesh that we would be fighting against. I need to just remember that when there is a struggle, whether in myself or in a group, there is always a spiritual power or influence involved (regardless whether it was out of the will of the person or directly from the enemy).  With that, I would be better at "fighting" back to the situations if I just continually realize that there is a spiritual realm involved.  I will harness and nurture every item needing it. Lord, thank you that you have given us the armor to fight against the enemies.  I pray that you would help me discern at all times and remember at all times that the spiritual is involved whenever and whatever the situations may be.  May I also lean always to your side and not be swayed by the enemy.  In Jesus' name, amen.
