Spiritual Warfare
My question for God:
Are there really spiritual enemies- powers of darkness- trying to get me?

A moment with God:
Then he said,"Dont be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before you God, your request has been ehard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia." [Daniel 10:12-13]
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. [Matthew 4:1]
The Bible clearly teaches that human beings are involved in a spiritual battle, faith puts you right in the middle of it. You are in a battle for your very soul. You must recognise that and arm yourself, or you will be overwhelmed. The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. [Matthew 13:39]
We are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. [Ephesians 6:12]

-----------------------
Satan is alive and active, and his legions of demons are always on the attack. A battle rages in the spiritual realm-a battle you can't see but one you will experience if you seek to serve God. You need God's power, not your own, to stand strong and not allow temptation to overcome you. Most of all, since you do not always know or understand the evil that is threatening you, you need God's power to give you strength to face an unknown enemy. Have peace that God has already won the battle over death and has the power to save you.

Reading a little from this special book each day,
helps me understand God's word better each day.
helps me understand what each word means to Him.
Thank you, san yi, for lending me (and my mum) this book!
It's really nice and good to read.
God bless!

THE LORD IS FAITHFUL; HE WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND GUARD YOU FROM THE EVIL ONE. [2 Thessalonians 3:3]
