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 - Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
The enemy is real, beloved. Paul began describing the nature of our enemy in
Ephesians Chapter 6 by telling us who the enemy is not.
Ephesians 6:12 says our struggle is not against flesh and blood. Think about this for a minute. Think about everyone you know on this planet. Paul tells us this, "If you can see them, touch them and they have flesh and blood they are not your enemy! They might be taking the enemy’s side and even doing the enemy’s work but they are not the enemy."
Paul described the enemy in a dramatic fashion. He describe them as rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world, spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. It is written in the Bible that flesh and blood is not the problem, because we are fighting against spiritual beings.
The enemy is a spirit which will occupy the flesh and use people in any way possible. Once he has used you to do his wickedness, he will destroy you afterwards. He has come to kill, steal and destroy anything that has to do with our LORD and Saviour. These spirits will occupy your family, friends, co-workers and sabotage your career. The enemy is very sneaky and crafty.
The good news is, GOD has promised us protection through his Word. When it appears the walls are caving in, and the enemy has declared war on you and your family, "Stand, Stand and Stand some more!", declaring the WORD of GOD against the enemy!!!!
If you do this, the enemy will flee from you for a season. When he reappears again, make sure you are equipped with this awesome firepower, which is called the Word Of GOD! The book of Ephesians will give you wisdom on how to put on the full armor of GOD daily. Just remember, the enemy has been defeated and cannot hurt you as long as you stay in the Word of GOD!!! Read your Bible everyday, spend quiet quality time with the LORD. Put praise music on in your car, home and office - by doing this the enemy will flee. When JESUS died and rose on the third day all power was given to Him on heaven and on earth. He is the answer to whatever you are facing.

Prayer -
Lord,
In the midst of the warfare that rages in this world,
I want to draw near to You.
Thank You for drawing near to me, Lord.
Father, please give me a spirit of discernment
so that I'm aware of the schemes the enemy has planned against me.
Father, don't let me be deceived or hurt by those
who are serving the enemy and doing his work.
I thank You Lord, for the Holy Spirit who dwells within me.
Protect me and my love ones Lord and help us to remember
that "greater is He who is within me, than he who is in the world".
I pray this prayer to You in the name of your son, JESUS CHRIST.
Amen
