Standing Strong Against Spiritual Warfare

Written By Lettie Henley

"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. Therefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." — Ephesians 6:12-13 (KJV)

There are unseen but fierce battles waging around us and within us. Paul’s words in Ephesians 6:12 reveal a profound truth: our struggle isn’t merely against human conflict but against spiritual forces that seek to oppose God’s purpose in our lives.

The battle we face is real and spiritual, rooted in a realm where Christ has already triumphed. Our proper response isn’t to fight in our own strength but to stand firm, fully dressed in God’s armor. When we do, we align ourselves with divine power, not just to resist, but to overcome.

Every day, the enemy seeks to weaken our faith, discouraging us or tempting us to abandon our purpose. But God’s armor; truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the Spirit, and His Word, are our divine defenses. When we trust in His strength and stand in His truth, victory is assured.

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you put on the full armor of God. Meditate on Ephesians 6:14-17 and declare: “I stand strong in Christ’s victory, shielded by His truth and righteousness.” Standing firm is a daily act of faith, trust, and perseverance.

Your victory isn’t in your own effort but in Christ who has already won. When you stand firm in His strength, you are an unshakeable testimony of His power over darkness. Trust in His armor, and walk boldly today knowing He is with you to see you through every spiritual battle.

Prayer:

Father, I thank You that in Christ, I am more than a conqueror. Help me to stand firm against every spiritual attack. Cover me with Your armor; truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, Your Spirit, and Your Word. Strengthen me today, Lord, that I may stand in victory, glorify You, and walk in Your power. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
