Spirits are created beings that operate in the unseen world. There are good spirits and evil spirits. They both are created beings but one lot is of God and the other of Satan. These spirits invade the psyche of man and try to control them. There is a war going on in the heavenlies between these spirits. When a man of God is assailed by evil spirits then God’s spirit defends him. You are kept in Him and without Him, you will be annihilated. Satan will try and attack you but you are kept by His forces. The blood of Jesus protects you day and night. Satan will fight against souls being saved. Once you realize that the battle is in the heavenlies and not below, you will pray more and be in the spirit more. You will put on the whole armor of God. You will discern the spiritual warfare in the heavenlies and join God’s forces to fight evil. God has given man authority on earth to fight for good. The forces of evil will use every disguise available to copy and masquerade as an angel of light. Be on guard for when the flesh takes over then you will be vulnerable to all these forces. Reckon yourself dead to self and you will not succumb to these forces of death.
