You’re standing in a wind tunnel, hair blown back and your body straining to move forward against the force of the current. This is exactly what life is like for the follower of Jesus. Powers and principalities are directing the winds of culture to restrain you from moving forward with the command of Christ.
The Apostle Paul paints a vivid picture of this in Ephesians Chapter 6, where he tells us to put on the full armor of God so we can stand against the schemes of the Devil.
