Ephesians 6:12-NIV
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.
Prayer:
Father God, I come before you in the name of Jesus Christ! Thank you, father, for taking a sinner like me and opening my eyes to see the spiritual war that is against us in this world. Father, please teach me how to share with the world what you have imparted in my life and commanded me to share. Remove my flesh out of the way, allow your Holly Spirit to use my vessel for your glory. Father, I know your desire is to set us free from the bondage of sins through Jesus Christ but as your word says, evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world are fighting against your will for our lives. Lord Jesus, please open our eyes to see the two-dimensional world that we live in so that our focus is not only on the physical world but also on the Spiritual world. I pray every soul who reads this prayer will allow the Spirit of the living God to remove scales from their eyes to see and understand the presence of Satan and his demons are in this world with the purpose to use our sinful nature to make us hostile toward God through disobedience (Romans 8:6). Father God, in the name of Jesus, teach us to recognize Satan when he is disguised as an angel of light so that we can extinguish his schemes in our lives. Heavenly father, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-NLT) clothes us with wisdom, humility, meekness, mercy, grace, peace, patience, purity, and love so that we can walk toward the great city of light described in Revelation chapter 22. In Jesus name I pray all this, amen!
