"..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
We have been armed (vv14-20) with both Defensive and Offensive armor which enable us to 1) Stand in Defense and 2) Stand-against in Offense. We have been equipped to overcome our adversary, which is not flesh and blood, but spiritual. We have as sons and daughters of God both Defensive and Offensive armor to overcome.
