Hello, friends! I want to share with you a powerful truth from Ephesians 6:12 that will lift your spirit and remind you of the incredible victory you have in Christ. The Bible says,  
“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.”

Now, let me tell you what that means for you today—your battle isn’t against people, it’s not against the challenges you can see with your eyes. No, you’re in a spiritual battle, and God has already equipped you to win!

You see, the enemy wants you to think your fight is with the people around you—maybe a coworker, a family member, or a situation that’s been weighing you down. But I’m here to remind you that the devil is not a man, and your real fight is in the spiritual realm. That’s why we don’t need to waste our energy trying to “fix” people or fight battles in the natural. Instead, let’s take it to the throne of God in prayer!

When you pray, you’re not just talking to the air—you’re tapping into the power of the Holy Spirit, and God is working on your behalf to defeat every force of darkness that comes against you.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking, “well, I’ve been praying for the enemy to be destroyed, for my problems to go away.” And I hear you! But let me encourage you with this: you can’t kill Satan, and it’s not yet his time to be thrown into the bottomless pit. That day is coming—hallelujah!—but until then, God has a plan for you to walk in victory right now. Even Jesus, while He was on this earth, didn’t destroy Satan’s agents.

Instead, He rebuked the devil and cast out those spirits with the authority of His name. In Mark 5, we see how Jesus drove an unclean spirit out of a man, and the demons begged Him, saying,  
“I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.”

Do you see that? Even the enemy knows the power of Jesus’ name!

Here’s the good news: just like Jesus, you have authority over the powers of darkness. You don’t have to live in fear of the enemy’s schemes. The Bible tells us that Jesus gave the demons permission to leave that man and enter the swine, and they ran violently into the sea. That’s a picture of the ultimate defeat of the enemy! And I believe God is saying to you today, “I’ve already won the battle for you.

Trust Me, and I’ll lead you through.”
So, let’s stop fighting a battle we were never meant to fight in the natural. We’re not wrestling against flesh and blood—we’re standing strong against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.

That sounds big, doesn’t it? But let me tell you, there’s nothing too big for our God! The enemy may try to come against you, but he’s no match for the power of the Holy Spirit living inside you.

I want to encourage you today: don’t get caught up in thinking your battle is against “wicked humans” or the people who have hurt you. The devil can use people to do his evil will, just like God uses us to do His good will. But instead of praying for someone’s downfall, let’s pray for their deliverance. Let’s declare an end to the oppression and evil in their lives by the power of Jesus’ name. When you pray with faith, you’re putting a stop to the enemy’s plans, and you’re stepping into the victory God has already prepared for you.

Friends, Jesus has all authority over the powers of darkness, and He’s given you that same authority. So, stand firm in your faith. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep trusting that God is fighting your battles. The enemy may try to torment you, but he cannot defeat you because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world! I believe and declare that you’re coming out stronger, more blessed, and more victorious than ever before. God bless you!
