Hello, thank you for joining me today, forgive him 15.

The title of our post today is, Is Spiritual Warfare Necessary?

Ephesion 6, 11, and 12, put on the whole armor of God that you might be able to stand against,

important word, 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.

Yesterday I shared on the subject of spiritual warfare. I want to

continue the discussion today. Spiritual warfare is released in various ways. Worship can be a weapon

against Satan, Psalm 149. Acts of love, Romans 12, 2021 are weapons. Declaring God's word is

certainly a weapon, Ephesians, 617. Holy Spirit, and there are others, by the way, Holy Spirit

leads us regarding the manner in which we should release his power. In today's post, my point is not

so much how we wrestle, but that we wrestle. The word against is used six times in Ephesians

6, 11, and 12. The Greek word is Pross, which is a strengthened form of pro, PRO.

Pro means in front of, either literally or figuratively, as in superior to.

We use the concept today in the English word professional,

or in its shortened form, pro. A pro athlete is one who is in front of or superior to others.

The word proce also has the connotation of stepping forward and facing toward

something or someone. The symbolism in this Ephesians passage is of a wrestler, stepping forward, facing his opponent. A pro wrestler stepping forward and facing his opponent.

God is saying to us, step forward, face the powers of darkness. As we involve ourselves in spiritual warfare, it's imperative that we

remember we're not trying to defeat the devil. He's already defeated. We are representing Christ

and enforcing his victory at the cross.

We do not redefeat.
