We Are In A Spiritual Battle | Matthew Teigrob

Is the devil real? According to recent data, only 48% of Canadians believe Satan is active in the world today. But if we're honest, we see his work everywhere—in broken marriages, strained relationships, workplace chaos, and even in our own minds through doubt, condemnation, and deception.

The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:12 that "we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness." This isn't a battle we can win with our own plans or strength. We need God's armor—the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit.

Jesus Himself faced the devil's attacks in the wilderness and taught us to pray, "deliver us from the evil one." If He needed to be prepared, so do we. The good news? Victory is possible when we put on the WHOLE armor of God. Don't fight this battle alone—take up the plan God has given you.
