“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. God’s people are engaged in a very real and daily spiritual warfare. One of the most important things to understand in this spiritual battle, is to be able to recognize who our enemy is. So many believers fail day after day, because they make their battle against people, against flesh and blood, rather than their real enemy. The devil has always made great efforts to misdirect us, to get us to think, that person is the problem, or that institution. And so, we begin to fight against people, against businesses, even against governments. But let us realize, we are battling against spiritual wickedness. While wickedness may be seen or felt through some person, we will always fail if we direct our attack against them. Today, many believers have forgotten the mighty power of prayer and turned instead to fleshy battles. We’ve lost sight of the overcoming power of God’s love working through us and focused our energies against individuals. May God help us to recognize the real enemy and then humble ourselves before Jesus Christ, Who never has lost a battle. Only with Him, only as we abide  in Him, can we be the overcomers He calls us to be.
