Seated in the Heavenlies with Christ

[ChristisGod]

The Whole Armor of God
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 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.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Eph 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Eph 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

This warfare is as real as it stands written-and has nothing to do with our "brains-3pound brain"

There is to this day a huge debate on Romans 7 whether this is Paul the unregenerate/regenerate-but I believe this is Paul the regenerate and we all have an inner conflict-but read Romans 6 brother.

We can be overcomers-says me-while I myself have a tremendous inner battle.
Shalom

Yes as you noted in verse 6 it is against real spiritual principalities ( demons ) we fight against.

but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Ditto my brother-and would you agree we all have a inner conflict as per Romans 7?
A life long inner battle? I am very transparent-since this is what I am experiencing.

The warfare is your old nature fighting aginst your new nature. They are both alive and well in your mind and just cant get along.
Ephesians has nothing to do with imps demons and devils.
