We all without a doubt need to be constantly reminded! Thanks! You are absolutely right. It is much easier to get angry with people, when really we should be praying for them. (God tells us to pray for our enemies in Matthew!) Anyhow, I believe the following is what you were talking about. It is only a small section of Eph. 6. Thanks and God Bless!!
Ephesians 6:11-12
11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Might I add something? Even to get us mad at the unseen forces is part of their plan. Anger can spread like a wild fire. I know through experience.
Also, I have just come to find out that we don't need to fight those things. We can call on Jesus to dispatch his angels which will do the fighting. We just need to be there to help those get out of the way of all the crossfire.

Absolutely! Some Christians do get angry but they should remember,
Mat 22:39 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Love is the most important which some Christians forget!

In my opinion I see more hostility to Christians towards Christians. I am a Mormon and I get bashed left and right on this. I live a very Christlike life and it is really hurtfull to see people bash such a good group of christians. I am trying to make a defference but it is hard.

You are right. I have even said this myself. But at the same time we need to pray for them! Peace be with you! And may God bless you!

what an awesome statement- thank you so much- it is so true - we were once unbelievers ourselves so how can we get upset with someone that is where we used to be?- Satan is the one that is trying to keep people from coming to Christ- God bless!!

You are right. We must remember to pray for those who are misguided and learn to be great intercessors for their souls, that they might, one day, come to know the Lord and be saved.
