I so hunger and thirst for God! I can so identify with the Psalmist who penned ” my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.” You have moments like that?
Continuing about the spirit world that Paul says we need to be aware of as they are the real forces we need to battle with instead of those we physically see. They are the influencers of behaviors that sometimes we scratch our heads about; even in ourselves.
Another group making up this “world” are the rulers of the darkness of this world. What is the darkness of this world? Darkness is where there is no light, thus where there is no God. We all have experienced in the natural that where there is no light, there is darkness and vise versa. As God is the light in us, we can then deduce that those without God are in darkness; they are children of the night, children of dark.
Colossians lets us know that we were delivered from the power of darkness and were translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. This is what Paul is speaking about when he says we fight against rulers of darkness. Ephesians also points out that we once “walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” These are the ones the gospel is hid from, they don’t walk according to its ways. Corinthians lets us know that if the gospel is hid from anyone, it is to those that are lost because the god of this world has blinded their minds so they don’t believe, “lest the light of the glorious gospel should shine unto them. They are in darkness and subjects of the rulers thereof. Demons (those with the ability to possess a person) and these rulers work hand in hand with the principalities and powers, working that which is evil.
Problem: we easily play with this when it is presented in entertainment form. Many who present this in entertainment form have used the bible as a place to get great ideas. Unfortunately, they pervert the whole concept. Read the word for yourself and go to the Holy Ghost for proper teachings. Compare anyone else with the word and what the Spirit of the Lord lead you to.
Solution: just read the bible for yourself with the aid of the Holy Ghost.
