For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world.

Young's Literal Translation
because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;
I am so thankful that God found me as a young child. I was baptized by water at Wildwood Baptist Church and infilled with the Holy Spirit at Austin Avenue Church. God has been faithful, even at times in my walk with Him, I wasn't. The greatest thing He has taught me is the teachings of the Trespass Offering, that our Trespass Offering is to forgive those who trespass against us. Coming from a tormented and disfunctional family. A father who was abusive sexually, mentally, spiritually, psychologically and physically. God made a way. When you can not forgive ask God to help you to forgive. Unforgiveness can destroy you if you do not let it go. As long as you hold on to it, you are willingly allowing yourself to suffer greatly. As long as you hold on to unforgiveness, it will continue to eat you alive. Won't you give it to Jesus today?
TURN OFF'S
Prejudice. Prejudice...disliking or even hating others that are not like ourselves. That one thing has caused pain, hurt, wars, hatred, murder and much more. Doesn't the scriptures teach us to walk in love? Isn't that the most important commandment given to us by Christ. Let us walk in peace an love with one another.
ABOUT ME
Greetings in Jesus name, we have spent years creating Christian graphics for our sisters and brothers for their websites. We have began joining christian communities like this one and found many wonderful sites. We have recently been introduced to how rampant Child Abductions are here in the United States and we are absolutely astounded. We are praying for all of you that are going through this in your life. It is something that devastates a family.
