For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
Yes it is.
The enemy's strategy: weaken, deceive, induce unreasonable guilt.
Recent (as in the past 24 hours) attacks: a good friend confessing his undying love for you means the end of a relationship. A teammate giving you totally unfounded warnings to not touch guys so much. Unknown students leaning out of classroom buildings to yell that they love you and you are so beautiful. A co-teacher walking into class during break to remind you that he is free this afternoon to teach you how to play chess, to the vast amusement of the whole class. A sense of guilt for impure things that you have not done. A questioning towards relationships with other guys that were previously untainted, which now seem totally shameful for no particular reason. A man from the bank finding your house only to attempt to invite himself in and demand that you are the most beautiful girl he's ever seen.
Enemy, don't think I don't know what's going on here.
Enemy, don't you see my belt of truth? Inscribed clearly with: therefore, no condemnation now exists for those who are in Him. Don't you see my righteousness like armor? I received it because I am careful to obey Him. Don't you see my feet fitted with readiness? They are the only part of me that's beautiful. Enemy, did you forget that I have a shield? It's made of something which has a greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire. Did you somehow miss my helmet? It is the goal of my faith, granted by grace alone. And enemy, are you really so foolish as to forget my sword? It is flawless and I will not distort it.
Enemy, be afraid, because if this is war I want you to know that I already have the victory... it's His.
He is my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
