DISOBEDIENCEDISOBEDIENCEYou were spiritually dead through your sins and failures, all the time you followed this world's ideas of living, and obeyed the evil ruler of the spiritual realm, who is indeed fully operative today in those who disobey God. We all lived like that in the past, and followed the desires and imaginings of our lower natures, being, in fact, under the wrath of God by nature, like everyone else. Ephesians 2:1-3

God’s ultimate plan for us – that we may: ...attain to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13)

For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the

powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything,

to hold your ground.
