Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authoritys, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly realms.

Of course I do and as long as we're in the flesh we always will. Anything you want to do for God you have to fight with your flesh over because its of this world.

As believers we face spiritual warfare everyday.
Paul tell us to put on the full Armor of God.
Belt of Truth-Jesus
Breastplate of Righteousness-Jesus
Feet fitted with Gospel of Peace-Jesus
Shield of Faith-Jesus
Helmet of Salvation-Jesus
Sword of the Spirit-Word of God-Jesus
The only way to fight spiritual warfare is we have to be in Christ.
If you notice the only offensive weapon we have is the Word of God.
And Paul tells us to always pray.
If we could see what is going on in the spiritual realm, we would be encouraged even more to pray.
Even the weakest believer when they pray, will make Satan flee.
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked.
Don't be afraid, the prophet answered, Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see."
Then the LORD opened the servants eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." ( 2 Kings 6:16-17).
There is a very real battle going on in the Heavenly realms.

According to Miriam-Webster, the definition of oppression is, "2 : a sense of being weighed down in body or mind."
But Jesus reminds us in Matthew what tool we have to lift the oppression - we must be closer to HIM:
Mat 11:28 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."
If we try to use our own strength, it can be argued that we are acting as a god. Instead, if we lean on God, be humble in our ability and seek His infinite wisdom, He will carry us through. Because we are human and the flesh is weak, we may fall a few times, but The Lord will always be there.
Rom 15:33 Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.

Good scripture...thank you for the quote....I needed to hear it again.
" Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy..."(1Tim.4:1)

I have not have been given any thought what you're speaking approximately, yet i will inform you extremely that it's not the HAARP undertaking pulsing by cellular telephone networks or the different styles of networks. It would not influence climate, earthquakes, people or any of the different dozen or greater issues that "some people" say it does. extremely.

Just bring up God's name or Jesus and it's like you unleashed a hornets nest in 10 seconds on here, that should let you know how bad it is.
you can calmly discuss any other subject but bring that one up and POW like ants at a picnic
