I’ve been thinking about spiritual warfare lately and how we have placed so much emphasis of the demonic and given power to the enemy. We have built entire belief systems and fear systems around Ephesians 6:12:
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Yet Colossians 2:15 reads:
[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ~ Luke 10:19 (NKJV)
Before that, Ephesians 6:10 from the Mirror reads:
In conclusion, and with reference to the theme and context of this writing, I encourage you to realize your strength in the Master; your union with him is your limitless resource.
Lets focus on the limitless resource because of our union with Jesus, since He disarmed it all at the cross. The enemy is defeated because of Jesus finished work.
