Title: Spiritual Forces
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 heavenlyrealms. – Ephesians 6:12
As boys, many of us were convinced of scary things lurking under the bed, in a closet, or even in the bathroom plumbing? As we aged, we learned how “irrational” these suspicions were, taught to ignore fear and taught us only what is perceived with our five senses. “Nonsense,” we concluded. It likely was.
As men, Scripture demands, we believe in angelic hosts and demonic forces — a spiritual reality we do not perceive physically. What? Is this like the Matrix? X-Files? Understandably, a battle for plausibility ensues. Nevertheless, we are challenged to engage in the realm of “spiritual forces” through prayer. Steadfast, persevering, and warrior-like prayer. Pray today. Pray now. Pray.
Real Men Believe in a Spiritual Battle and Pray.
