Enemy Protection

When we are at war, the whole nation knows about it. When soldiers are enlisted they can recognize the enemy through their uniform, but there are times when a suicide bomber is not recognizable. In this case the soldier has little or no protection.

In the spiritual world we have a similar situation where the enemy is unseen. No matter how we look for him, we will not see him. He is invisible. So how do you fight an unseen enemy?

In the real world, it is impossible to fight an unseen enemy, but in the spiritual world, it is different. When Satan spoke through Peter, Jesus rebuked Satan (Mt 16:23) and the devil left him. When we are tempted by the devil, we have Enemy Protection. We have the power of prayer and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
