Not Against Flesh and Blood

Listen to today's Scripture read aloud.

What forces of darkness hold power in our world?

It can be tempting to stand against other people who upset us or cause harm. Sometimes people are responsible for a great deal of hurt in our lives, but the true spiritual battle is not about people! It’s about the systems, authorities, and powers that darken this world.

How can we join the struggle against the forces of evil?

Consider this spoken-word piece.

“FIGHT” is a spoken word poem by Calynton Blake. Calynton writes:

“We have a part to play in this battle, whether we know it or not and whether or not we choose to fight in it. We must choose the side we are fighting for, because we must fight, and if we choose to fight alongside God, using his armor and weaponry against the enemy, then we will be victorious!”

Do you think you can choose in or out of the spiritual battle? What choices do you see before you today?
