Spiritual Warfare

Let me just say something. There is this thing called spiritual warfare. For some it happens in their sleep. Some don't even know it's happening.

Let me explain what spiritual warfare is...
From Relevant Magazine it says that spiritual warfare:

Ephesians 6:12, Paul writes: “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.”

The bad news is that if you are a follower of God, you have an enemy who is invisible.

Not only is this enemy invisible, this enemy is evil. If you have an enemy who is not only invisible but evil, you are not going to be able to placate this enemy. You can't make concessions to this enemy, you can't negotiate, you cannot bargain, you cannot argue this enemy with logic. He's irretrievably and irrevocably evil. He's invisible, he's evil and he's on the attack.

I have dealt with spiritual warfare in the past, read back on previous blog posts, it's written everywhere. 

I was recently talking to someone about my situation and she became very serious and just said it.

"You know this is an attack, right?"

I did... I had been thinking about it for a few days. I didn't want to admit it, that I was being attacked.

When I say attacked, I don't mean guns, grenades, knives, or any sort of physical weaponry. It is all emotional, spiritual. The weapons are words and misfortunes. Disappointing looks, and discouraging sighs.

The weapons are three AM and I am still not asleep thinking about everything wrong. The weapons are  tempters. Things from the past, sharp, straight to the point.

They pack a punch, these weapons. More than any gun, sword, or bomb could. They hit you exactly where it hurts. Never missing their mark. Ever.

Now my spiritual warfare may make me sound like a complete nut case. I've written about this enemy many times. he is venom in my mouth, in my soul. he is near to the epitome of evil. he's been around for years and years. Because he knows I am meant to do marvelous, magnificent things. Things that will change the world. Things that will impact many.

This being knows I know that it exists... it knows that I know how it works.

he won't get far in his diabolical plan to destroy.
