Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the flesh (Old Self) with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). This is the only way to have victory over the Old
Self.
(Ephesians 6:12) tells us that our struggle is not against:
principalities
powers
the rulers of the darkness of this world
spiritual wickedness in high places
If we want to be able to stand firm against the schemes
of the devil, we must put on the full armour of God (Ephesians 6:11).
