Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

Why do I turn to the weapons of man when I know that the attacks are supernatural in nature and power? Why is it that the residual man in me wants to fight against these cosmic powers with weak and ineffectual weapons when I have the whole armor of the LORD, God Almighty at my command? Is it because I am not yet completely regenerated? That my sanctification is not yet complete? Come, Lord Jesus, come.
