For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 NIV
When I read this verse I hear Yoda as he's training Luke on Degobah. "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." Rocks are only heavy if we think they are. We can move things with our mind. Well, ok that may be a stretch, but Yoda's teachings are proven within this verse. The battle between light and dark, good and evil, the Jedi and the Sith. It's a battle that's been waging long before humans arrived and will wage in the heavens long after we're gone.
We only think that we need help with bullies and people who would rather spit on you then talk to you. But it's not them that we must battle. We pray for them and lift their souls to heaven and let God work in their hearts. Money is not our problem. The love of it is and it's not about the money buy about our priorities. The broken down car is not the issue but the faith we have that God will provide the way to fix it.
The battle is not ours to fight. Lift it to God and let him fight. Do not give in to anger and hate for they lead to suffering. Yes, Yoda also knows this. Let God win.
