When people come against us, we must comprehend our “true” battle. I use the word comprehend/understand because understanding means departing from evil.

“And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.'” Job 28:28

We must know beyond a shadow of a doubt God’s goodness and the enemy’s evilness. We can read God’s word and knowit in our minds, yet when the battle confronts us, all that God has said may go out the window.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12

The enemy uses people to come against us. So what are you to do? “submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Ask the Lord to show you the forces working against you and bind them up in the Name of Jesus..

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Mathew 18:18
