"O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the
mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in
your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God;
let not man prevail against you." (2 Chronicles 14:11 ESV)
For
we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with
physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers,
against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present
darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly
(supernatural) sphere. Therefore
put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand
your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the
crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. (Ephesians 6:12–13 AMP)
This
is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget
about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to
the finish against the Devil and all his angels. Be
prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own.
Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when
it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. (Ephesians 6:12–13 The Message)
