I was reading my letters one day when I noticed two whose writers had the same surname – the first was from a woman asking me to pray that God would kill her mother-in-law because she was a witch. The second was from the mother-in-law, asking me to pray that God would kill her daughter-in-law because she was a witch. Of course I disregarded both prayer requests as the Bible says that we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. While that fellow may be a tool in the hand of the devil to fight you, you are not to fight him or her. You are to go on your knees and fight the forces of darkness behind the person.
There are three types of hosts. There is the angelic or heavenly host which comprises the angels of God as we see in . There is the demonic host - soldiers of Satan, with their officers (principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world as detailed in ). Finally, we have the human host - the armies of the world. The army, navy, air force, paramilitary and the likes are also called hosts. For example, in , the Bible talks about the host of the Philistines.
There is constant conflict between these hosts. In for example, the demonic prince in charge of Persia blocked the angel that was to bring the answer to Daniel’s prayer for 21 days until God sent Angel Michael to assist him.
While we cannot see demons with our physical eyes, they can see us. How do you fight an enemy you cannot see? You need the help of an ally who can see your enemy and help you gain victory. A major reason many people fall prey to the devil and his agents is that they try to fight spiritual battles with physical weapons. says the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. If you want to win over the forces of darkness, you need to employ spiritual weapons - worship (), prayers (), the word of God (), love (), and above them all, holiness ().
