The biggest wars in our world are unseen…not Star Wars or Space Force, but spiritual wars. 

“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NLT

“There is a world behind the world—a hidden spiritual realm where unseen forces contend for authority, allegiance, and influence. Scripture is clear that history does not unfold in a spiritual vacuum. Beneath politics, policies, and power struggles lies an invisible conflict that shapes cultures, nations, and governments. What we see on the surface is often the downstream effect of what is happening in the heavens.”- Phil Hosenpiller

Well said, Phil. Because the biggest battle has been going on since Lucifer was thrown out of heaven. It’s a battle between good and evil. Between God and the devil.

And because Jesus defeated the devil at the cross and empty tomb, now the devil attacks us, God’s creation. Satan knows his time is short, so he is straining at his short leash to do as much damage to God’s kingdom as possible. He lies to us, hoping we will believe him.

But through Christ, we also are more than conquerors!

Yes, we can discern the spirits as to where they are from. We can set captives free. We can speak the truth in love. And we can boldly share our faith to those caught in Satan’s snares.

Let’s not be ignorant of Satan’s devices. Let’s boldly stand up for the love of Jesus. Let’s defeat and displace Satan’s lies with God’s truth. Let’s be transformed by the renewing of our minds. And let’s be His ambassador to our confused world.
