Brothers and Sister, I truly believe people are put on certain paths in life. I’ve always kept St Michael close to my heart, especially during the wars in 2002 and 2003. Here I am in the Priory of St Michael. Everything is for purpose. I found this song today. https://youtu.be/HudU_jEI08s?is=3sds4ultL_hXU7bVCAA Patricia Fraser

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
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.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
Paul is telling believers that the real conflict of the Christian life is not primarily against other people. “Flesh and blood” means human beings. While people can oppose us, hurt us, or be used as instruments, they are not the ultimate enemy.
The true battle is spiritual.
Breaking down the terms
Paul lists ranks or categories of spiritual forces opposed to God:
• Principalities - High-ranking spiritual rulers or authorities in the demonic hierarchy.
• Powers - Spiritual authorities that exercise influence and control.
• Rulers of the darkness of this world - Cosmic powers that dominate the present evil age — the forces behind the darkness, deception, and moral corruption that mark this fallen world.
• Spiritual wickedness in high places - Evil spiritual beings operating in the heavenly/spiritual realm (not “up in the sky,” but in the unseen spiritual dimension that influences the visible world).
Together, these describe organized ranks of demonic and spiritual opposition under the devil’s influence.
