Wrestling ( Ephesians 6 v 10 )

One last thought on wrestling,and its not so much to do an individual, but  for every Christian,and we read about it in Ephesians 6 v 12,it is in the  AV,' For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,against powers,against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against  spiritual  wickedness in high places'. Now without going into all the forces arrayed against us,  I would caution to not get  paranoid as regards what it said , the fact is we as Christians have a real struggle on our hands, there are forces arrayed against us. The hymn writer wrote,'I've wrestled on towards heaven,gainst storm, and wind and tide'.Let us first of all realise we are not going to reach our heavenly destination on flowery beds of ease.We are faced with a struggle,we have to use all the resources that God has provided for us, Ephesians 6 v 11, v 18 reminds us the importance of praying in the Spirit,who will surely grant all we need in our onward struggle.
