Today’s Reflection: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:12-13 NKJV

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Living Word, Jesus Christ and Your Written Word, the Bible. You have shown us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness who rule this world, against the evil that is taking place in the spiritual realm. Place Your armor on us. Help us to take up the Sword of the Spirit, Your Word, daily relying on it moment by moment for it is mighty through You in our lives to destroy strongholds and for the casting down of all reasoning, arguments, speculations, thoughts, every lofty thing that is contrary to the knowledge of You. May we take every thought captive to You and Your Word, rejecting all that contradicts Your truths and Your plans and purpose for our lives. Hide Your Word in our hearts that we might not sin against You. Fill us with Your Truth, oh Lord, that we can be set free. In Jesus’ Name Amen
