    We are spirits living in temporary flesh bodies. It is our spirits that contend with one another.

    Eph 6:12 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].

    Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

    Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

    Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

    Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

    Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

    Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

    Eph 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

    Spiritual warfare is our fight against evil.

    What is evil: our inherent human nature, which only wishes to receive self fulfillment and pleasure by using and exploiting others.

    We have to change our basic nature from reception to giving.

    How can we do that?

    Through re-connecting with our fellow human beings, and establish a new society based on unconditional giving, and caring for the well being of the whole, instead of self reception, and caring only for ourselves.

    That is why the single most important teaching of the Bible: "Love your neighbor as yourself"

    If we are successful, within our new, mutual, altruistic connections we can reveal the Higher Force sustaining the whole of creation.

    There is nothing else in reality but this creating force and creation itself which is the single, unified human organism.

    I hope it helps, all the best.

    Christ said he came not in peace but with a sword. That squares with their ultimate quest for worldly dominance and intoleration yet they call themselves opposed to worldly things.

    This kind of bait-and-switch is the warfare: It is fact not spiritual; but rather materialistic. Their real aims lie in money and reshaping sectarian law to silence their opposition. That's partly why some of the christian answers on here can get so vicious.

    Spiritual warfare SAYS you'll go to hell if you disagree.What it really is is a fight for material dominance. It's criminally insane.

    Spiritual warfare is when one knows the Spirit and wrestles with the Devil. In other words, deciding when to do the right things from the wrong.

    HOSEA 14:9

    Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.

    GOD BLESS! AMEN! SHALOM!

    Armageddon; and it has to be fought in every generation and in every life.

    Revelation 16:16 - And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

    Ephesians 6:11-24

    11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

    19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: 22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts. 23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
